VFL VFL Round 13 V Sandringham - Saturday June 21st @ AIA - 2:05pm

[stormskye]

West, Ryan our best. Mitchell was good but our lack of clearances was a huge issue which is supposed to be his strength. Garcia for saints had 13 alone.

That last 5 min was entertaining to say the least.

Losing brown and TJ in the first 10min def hurt us.

Not sold on Howes. Mason is a better forward

 

[Aussie pie]

Take the 4 points.
So delist : Leggy, Mitchell, Harry D and not playing probably AJ

Safe Cox because injuries can happen and we have zero ruck depth. Dean has shown something this season.

Why the **** did we draft two sub standard VFL players in Howes and Steele is beyond me.

Need some real mids as Sandy killed us at the contest we only went well from rebounding and turn overs except for one notable exception of course.

Membury should start looking over his shoulder because Charlie is coming for him.

All that was missing from today was the red cape

They do.... often.

It’s not hard to spot the Keyboard Warriors

 

[SchuPie]

Problem for him is we already have a back up option in Perryman in the AFL team. Who knows what he'd do if he got an offer elsewhere. But I think his manager would be advising him to take it. He's not going past any of Perryman, Josh, Houston, IQ or Bruzzy any time soon. We're really stacked down back.

Could he play as a defensive mid?

 

[SchuPie]

We have a fair few in the VFL with poor skill and composure.

Positives - West, Parker, Mitchell, rest - non existent.

Ryan?

 

[sr36]

Could he play as a defensive mid?

Possibly. But he looks a defender to me. With his aerial game being very useful for a back pocket. You'd lose one of his strengths in the midfield.

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

What a finish.

It's time for Charlie West to be handed his debut next week. No better time for it.

[unplugged]

Makes me laugh how many on here try to declare West as their boy, etc. I think it's only fair to declare that he belongs to everyone. BigFooty's boy!

I'm so intrigued now because he's a perfect candidate for a Membrey or Checkers rest but you don't want to bring him in on the basis of playing him for one game, and if he dominates an AFL game - although good for him and us - will make selection very tricky.

Had a few quiet weeks in the lead up to today it has to be said, but it's still getting to the point where the selection committee just can't ignore his name much longer.

 

[northcotehead]

West having a day out against the scum at the G in a couple of weeks, you can just see it.

 

[3rdMan]

So is Mitchell not up to VFL level as a clearance mid? Even I'd say it's crazy to suggest that. So our poor clearance performance in the VFL isn't really down to depth.

 

[SchuPie]

Possibly. But he looks a defender to me. With his aerial game being very useful for a back pocket. You'd lose one of his strengths in the midfield.

Maybe - but he might be able to become a Perryman-lite which would be a brilliant result

Loving these stats

 

[TradeDraft]

Well we did wasted a lot of Chances

Thankfully we got few Clearnces late and West Stood up in last 5 Minutes

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

You couldn't have scripted that ending

I’d have scripted it as being an AFL game personally

We haven’t had this issue for a Long Time

FFS Howes is 19yo.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

It’s beyond me why people insist on ridiculous unnecessary and often knee jerk posts… about list management on game day threads

Not to mention how often they are wrong

Spot on. I guess it makes deeply insecure people feel like they have some relevance.

They will. Our midfielders are awful. Mitchell is the only one trying to fight for the ball.

Am I the only one watching the positioning of Harry DeMattia at stoppages??? He constantly stands behind a Sandringham player doing sweet FA!!!! WTF!!!???? Neither offering anything of offensive value or defensive!

I would suggest yes since you have such a dislike for the bloke. You may be suffering from a little bit of confirmation bias. You do tend to the negative.

 

[sr36]

I didn't watch it. What was the story with Steene. He only had 2 hitouts. Did he get injured?
