VFL 2024 VFL Thread

I wouldn’t delist McNeil. He has had a solid vfl season has good speed courageous and still only 23.
Cheap back up. We have some top end talent that take a lot salary cap and mcneil is a good back up

Not so much about being the cheap back up which is fine, but more so with needed list spots at the end of the year. Will lose one or two to trades, but would like to bring in some by trade and the 2-3 draft picks to turn the list over. McNeil's spot will be under heavy scrutiny for that reason. Keath out of contract too but probably more valuable on a one year deal as KPD depth.

What is the go with Bedendo? Not listed on injury list but hasn’t played the last few VFL games

I do recall him being injured a few weeks ago. A leg injury of some sort I think. It is strange he's not on our weekly injury list though.

He was due to come back but he went with the rehab group on Monday from what I have read.

Quite frankly Harmes should be embarassed by how he has been playing, worst on ground by far and that's including Jones and Clarke not offering much.

Harmes was good in the seniors before getting injured. How much would you put his performance down to rust or being a little underdone if at all.

He's an iron man. It was raining. I'd put it down to rust.

Get out the steel wool at training and he'll be right to go.

today. He is 25 at his second club was not looking likely halfway through 2023. Kicked 3 today & plays an important role.
Patience is imperative for young small fwds. It’s a tough spot and as long as they continue to show glimpses along with being a hardworker on and off field I’d keep them around

I thought he had no confidence in himself and got inside his own head.

Oh well, no rush. I'd like him to be putting some pressure from next week though.

I would bet that Edge gave McNeil 5 votes. It was the type of game that a coach would love. I also think Gilbee would have gotten one because his drive off of HB was important on a fairly low scoring day for most of the game.

Edge would have voted

5. McNeil
4. Daniel
3. Khamis
2. McKercher
1. Gilbee

North coach would have gone

5. Daniel
4. McKercher
3. Greenwood
2. Harmes
1. Garcia

Greenwood tagged our consistently best midfielder out of the game while getting a stack of the ball himself.
