They score. 26 points. Game over. It was already game over, but now really game over.

Umm, wasn’t it said he would have played last week if not for VFL bye?

That was from a PM that was sent to me. Perhaps what Pitto wants and what the team wants are two different things when it comes to injury management or perhaps he hasn't come on as fast as he thought when he started running. It was apparently all about a conditioning block.
 
Not overly disappointed about the loss given we were short 2-3 due to the league side playing in Perth, but my thoughts are as follows:
- Mirkov is improving and I look forward to the day he has the tank to be an option at AFL level
- Dow looks so likely when he’s at a stoppage but still can’t find the ball enough in open play
- it was great to see Ed back out there playing
- Stocker’s attack on the ball was outstanding and I’d really like to see him given a chance in the midfield next year
- Carroll is still a work in progress with his best and worst still a fair way apart
- Fogarty is a midfielder of VFL quality only and I can’t help but think we have wasted a list spot for 2 years on him, indeed IMO we’d be better off having Cahill on the list as another genuine small forward option
- I reckon I could see Leiu and Cincotta (and possibly Radovanovic) playing AFL football so hopefully we are thinking about them as possible replacements for Williamson and possibly Parkes
- I don’t see either Glass-McCasker or Lewis making the grade at AFL level
- Durdin looked better when he played against the Tigers but I think I’d like to see him stick around for at least next year given our lack of ready made key position players
- Akuei is a long term project but anything is possible as CJ from Hawthorn has show
- Josh Cripps is not even VFL standard

Leiu is the perfect Williamson replacement.
 
The Good
  • Stocker was really solid. A bit less clean then usual but better intensity defensively.
  • Ed Curnow was good from limited minutes in his first game back. Can tell he is to good for the level
  • Durdin did his job. Ball use quite good and looks a top KPD at VFL level.

The Bad
  • Our midfield. We had 4-5 afl listed guys rolling through there and got beaten to often.
  • Jack Carroll's form. Has been poor for a while. Don't know what's happened.

Only player I would consider for promotion off that game would be Stocker.
 
I'm not on the same substance.

The stuff I'm on, has him two to three weeks away.

No drugs for me unfortunately, this from the bluemours thread on 22/6

Another PM.

Zac Williams starts running tomorrow.

McGovern's hamstring is okay. Needs conditioning so still looking at Round 18.

Pittonet is due to start playing VFL for conditioning but another bye this week. Ramping up his running. Also broke 2 ribs early in the Hawks game and battled on until being subbed off in the last.

Players really want Honey to play, describing him as 'powerful'.



#Bluemour

Edit: Misunderstood this. Pittonet will play VFL next week if we don't have a bye. My paraphrasing was poor. Not sure if next week means the one coming up or the one after that. All comes down to when the message was received. Pittonet is the one who didn't know the VFL draw.

TLDR: He is very, very close.

So, Pits had a setback or ?

I was quite confident the Geelong trading curse would finally be lifted with Fog but just hasn’t shown much worth persisting with at VFL level. I think it’s time to block their number during trade week.

I know Akeui is a free hit on the list but geez he seems miles off the level.

Lieu looks great for someone that’s missed so much of the season. Worth at least another shot as a train on player this off season.
