I read a report somewhere that Gamble took an absolute screamer. Did anyone see it?

What exactly is the go with the purple writing ?

McCarthy has been out with a back injury.

Ok, the purple writing is just for a bit of colour! there's nothing complicated about it!

Does anyone know where and when the VFL team is playing this week?

 

[Rosso]

Go to the Football Victoria website (there's a link on afl.com.au then go to game development) and that will give you both VFL & TAC Stats.

The VFL cats go to Tassie next weekend. Anyone got a map???

Would be nice if we could scrounge up a pic from somewhere!

Ezbian , sounds like youve been watching a bit of the V's. It doesn't surprise me that our picks all look promising, inspite of others thinking we had an ordinary draft. I have the utmost respect for our recruiting dept, what they have done with the picks we have had has been A+.

How has Prismall been kicking his goals?.Small forward or on the ball?

On Grima, Id be suprised that he would be promoted next year. If Slade, is promoted it would mean an extra space that would need to be vacated Unless they see him imediately being a AFL player, I'd say another year as Rookie would be the go. Who knows what it means for Batchelor?

Question on McCarthy. Has he ever played in the ruck. In a way he is similar to Barnes , heaps of spring and there is plenty of top ruckmen that have been less than good kicks. The way things are going, there is far to many promising forwards and we are light in the ruck. It would give him another option of being on our list cause if nothing changes I think he will be elsewhere next year.

Yes mate have watched a bit of the VFL this year and have really enjoyed it to be honest. Something about the smell of the grass and being alone in the old hickey early on a Saturday morning. No frills footy, without all the corporate bull&$#@.

On Prismall, he has predominantly been played as an OB. The majority of his goals have also come as an OB who pushes forward. He has kicked a couple where he has linked up with players streaming through the middle, steadied and goaled from 40 - 50m. He has also kicked goals from stoppages inside the forward 50. These have been around the corner type stuff. He actually kicked a replica of the one he did in the NAB Cup against Carlton a couple of weeks ago. The guy is all class, and unlike Tenace, Corey, Enright etc, looks to have ready made kicking ability. It is not something he will have to learn. He has rested in the forward line occasionally but mostly rotates through the bench. Stokes has been soing the same but spends a little more time in the forward half. He is a goer as well.

You are probably spot on with Grima. I forgot about Slade. May as well give him the two years, unless of course someone else tries to snap him up (not sure if this is allowed though?) I would say that the future is grim (pardon the punt) for the likes of Batchelor and Sheringham. Particulalry given that this years draft is mean't to be a cracker.

McCarthy hasn't played in the games I have seen this year, so I can't help with that one. West has rucked predominantly unchanged so far, so I think he will welcome Blakes return.

It happened right in front of me! An absolute pearler it was. I was there the day Sampi took that mark at the MCG and that was equally as good if not better!

Regarding a few other questions people have...

1) VFL website is http://vfl.footballvic.com.au

2) VFL play Tasmania this Saturday at Bellerive Oval in Hobart!

Always love getting to the VFL every weekend, as ezbian said it's no frills footy! I love it!
