Footscray vs Carlton 17th June 7:35pm @ Ikon Park

That was holding the ball as well, pay a ****ing free umpires.

 

[doggies ftw]

I’m at the game, things to note.
Bruce moving really well, shutting down space, flying, no strapping on his knee. Kicking goals and smashing packs, won’t need a month before his recalled to seniors.

Hunter the same, running hard, and moving well.

Garcia looking a little slow, unsure.

Bendendo is showing his AFL level, kids gonna be great for us.

Crozier should be in our AFL side, his wasted out here.

I’m more excited about Bedendo than anyone else out of our side just about - kid has so much talent. I think he’ll be an extremely good player in a couple of years

 

[Testekill]

We are getting absolutely rat****ed out there, Sweet got slung without even touching the ball.

 

[doggies ftw]

Darcy is soooo comfortable with ball in hand - I really dunno where I want him to develop it’s going to be very interesting to see what our plans are.

I honestly think his best position might end up a Timmy clone as a mobile ruckman. Looks so much like young Tim the way he gallops around out there. Having them both split the ruck and also spend time both forward and back sounds pretty bloody exciting tbh. 2 key forwards (Naughty & Jamarra) 2 key backs (???) and 2 ruck/utilities (English & Darcy) that’s a pretty nice balance - now need to find some defenders I guess

Welcome Back ChinKotter

 

[Testekill]

Vanderheuval looks like he did his shoulder.

 

[Testekill]

Crozier really needs to handball it to someone once he marks it, I just don't trust him by foot.

 

[doggies ftw]

Great mark back with the flight Arty! Someone was saying he shirks contests on here the other week!

 

[LardDog]

3 for Bruce!

[Testekill]

The graphics guy popped that up a touch too early but Bruce has his third goal.

 

[DognBones]

Blues right on top in the 2nd. So many fumbles and poor disposal from our players. Midfielders and forwards, apart from Bruce who is a lone hand, all well beaten.

 

[Testekill]

Need someone to play tight on Crocker.

 

[Oliver G]

Currently -20% for handball efficiency differential, which is off the charts.

 

[Testekill]

Darcy almost kicked Chatfield's head off there.

 

[Oliver G]

Pathetic, 7 of their 11 scores have come from D50.

 

[Testekill]

F*cks sake, three kicks and they kick a goal. Every team makes it so f*cking easy but not us, we move slow and kick to packs.

 

[Testekill]

It would be nice if these fluro campaigners would pay a holding the ball.

 

[BulldogMuscle]

It would be nice if these fluro campaigners would pay a holding the ball.

Not a single one paid tonight, pretty disgusting.

 

[Dogs5416]

Butler has been disappointing tonight. Poor disposal, poor decision making, overcommitting defensively and a lack of intensity around the contest.

 

[DognBones]

Very scrappy quarter from us, Blues cleaner and getting more to the contests. Wallis, Smith in particular need to get more involved. Hunter getting plenty of the ball but no penetration. Bruce very good from limited opportunities, other forwards non-existent. Darcy working his way into the game in that quarter, already 8 marks.

 

[dogwatch]

Darcy looking good. Intercepting well and comfortable with ball in hand. Bruce looks rusty despite the three goals. Liking some of Bedendo’s work.

Our disposal has been pretty bad.

 

[dergert]

Bedendo has to make his senior debut soon. He looks strong on a wing.

 

[goodcop badcop]

Some pretty horrible defending out there and too many fumbles. Raak and Butler have been quite poor defensively.

Garcia is doing a lot right both from a defensive and attacking point of view, but his kicking isn't good enough. Bendendo is also getting involved a lot, but his disposal has been a bit off the last couple weeks.

I think the same. I do like that they are developing him down back to start, just easier to gain your footing against the bigger bodies when the game is in front of you I think.

I'm not as confident that Jamarra will stay long term but I hope I'm wrong.
