VFL 2024 VFL Thread

[BallaratBulldog]

You cant hit it out like that it’s deliberate

 

[Testekill]

Stanley punched that directly at the goal line, if it was a Bulldog who punched it then it would be a free and Stanley was going there the entire time.

 

[JTCWBFC]

Take that

 

[Oliver G]

Just our 2nd draw since joining the VFL, R6 2019 vs. Box Hill was the other.

 

[Testekill]

Yes, suck the fattest chode umpires. Cheating pricks tried their hardest to give it to them.

 

[Bulldogs85]

Umpires were trying everything to get Geelong the win

 

[Marsy]

Thank god that is over. The umpiring in the last 10 mins was eye raising.

 

[Norm De Guerre]

Fitting result.

Baker.

Daniel

Busslinger

The standouts for mine.

The umpires missed about 1 billion free kicks, but thats understandable given the awful conditions down in cowtown.

 

[Randomthoughts]

Well
Someone hand me a Bex

 

[Testekill]

Thank god that is over. The umpiring in the last 10 mins was eye raising.

The most eye raising calls are always ruck infringements, both players are grabbing onto each other so the umpires can just pluck a free either way and it's probably there. They're the cheapest possible frees to call especially in a tight contest

 

[fargy]

Great effort given the amount of listed player difference and the crap that was the umpiring.

 

[RWnBluey]

That game has cut up the ground out a fair bit. Was a lot muddier at the end

 

[DognBones]

Probably a fitting result in the end. Both teams had their chance to win it in the last. Perhaps a few of our VFL listed players struggled a bit but can't grumble about the result. A couple of Keath's kicks out of defence in the last were pretty ordinary though the conditions forced many hack kicks.
Garcia and Daniel were good in the clinches with Daniel the more effective. Baker is a very good player at this level. We didn't have much up forward, Clarke tried hard with his tackling but the rest struggled.
I'm worried that our AFL team as selected looks too tall and cumbersome for the conditions.

 

[Cudi]

The umpiring at VFL is disgraceful. It’s always so over umpired.

 

[fargy]

Surely next year we could provide our own commentators? Who’s keen?

 

[King Harold]

Well
Someone hand me a Bexb

 

[House_of_Dahl]

Not managing to get a point with the ball inside your forward 50 for the last minute is a bit of a failure

 

[my plums]

Was great to see the boys get around Caleb at the end. Some game saving efforts

 

[Randomthoughts]

I might save that second pill for the last quarter tonight .

 

[King Harold]

Game literally should have been over

 

[Ruprecht]

Hey Vital,
What has happened to Josh Chatfield?

 

[Testekill]

Actually yeah, I thought that Chatters was due to come back from his knee soon

 

[Graeme Cook]

The umpiring at VFL is disgraceful. It’s always so over umpired.

Great point over umpired and to technical and the umpires advisers should be sacked that includes the AFL to.
They must paying more free kicks this year compared to other years.

 

[Cudi]

Great point over umpired and to technical and the umpires advisers should be sacked that includes the AFL to.
They must paying more free kicks this year compared to other years.

Almost all of our games this year the free kick count has been in the high 20s for both teams, sometimes even 30s. It's crzay.

 

[Bulldogs85]

Footscray VFL has added six players to the line-up for their Round 19 match against Casey on Friday afternoon.

All three AFL emergencies in Jack Macrae, Ryley Sanders and Joel Freijah have been named, as have James O’Donnell, Chan Hargraves and Josh Sparkman.

It will mark Sparkman’s league debut.
