VFL Practice Match #1 - Collingwood vs Werribee at Olympic Park Oval (Pies WON 67-57, Treloar survived!)

[Saintly Viewed]

The colleseum has had grandstands for 2000 years

And in those days the Lions beat the opposition more than these days

Good to see bucks there. Notice any other coaches or players?

I saw Billy, Jordy, Ramma, Ox, Aishy, Blairy & Cox.
Glad mattys123 told me who 11, 14 & 39 were they stood out to me too.
Agree with Crocker being a potential steal - he has a real crack and knows how to use his body well, (didn't look like a free kick to me).

Just got home, was actually a pretty high quality game for an opening practice match, no doubt due to the history between the two in finals.

A short review of the standout players.

7; That Treloar bloke; Played the first three quarters, I'd say 80% of that time. Showed his ability to win clearances carrying 2-3 Werribee players on his back at one point. Just all class and is a bull. His kicking wasn't perfect today but for a first hitout he was impressive in patches.
11; M.Alessi; Did a few nice things, including setting up a goal. He showed some toughness and ability to win the ball, and some class. What he said....

14; Will Knight; Has to be VFL listed tomorrow, was close to best on ground for us, is a lovely long kick and takes a nice mark.

39; BEN CROCKER; Story of the day for mine, wow why did every club pass on this kid so much? Elite TAC Cup forward and he showed it today. Knows how to use the body, is a lovely kick and can take a mark. We've stolen one here. Will play senior footy this year.


47; Darrean Wyatt; If you're comparing him to Mason Cox, both ex basketballers turned to football, he's well ahead of where Mason was in game 1, year 1. Took a few contested marks but most impressive piece of play was taking on his opponent and running around him on the outer side. Has huge potential, I'd say more so as that second ruck/forward.

Ben Moloney, Matheson, Borthwick, Close and Howe had big impacts on the game too as they usually do in the VFL.

Was a good start for the boys.

Wyatt could become our Blicavs.

I also saw Witts and Langdon. Langers has some serious hair issues ATM, but that's another topic.

I didn't see you AD, but I was skulking around trying to find shade. Then I left before the end of the third quarter.

mattys123 and I went in front of the Glasshouse where we had shade for most of the Game

Not that it matters but how many possessions did treloar roughly pickup!

I wasnt there but by the sounds of things he got somewhere near 40 possies and 4 goals. Good times!

Grabbed a quick drink from a tap on someone's front yard, on our way home from a game of footy after school, just on dusk.

We used to drink out of the river, I'm starting to have a sip when I'm camping now to see what happens, been fine so far

Meow of approval. Without cats, internet wouldn't be the same.


*edit on topic. If Treloar gets protection from the likes of Greenwood and Adams, it is going to be fun.

Sounds like quite a successful day

Crocker and Wyatt showing promising signs and Treloar gets the warm up he needed

Agree cats made for Internet

Topic so mods can tick off this post:
Treloar is going to go to new levels with hard ball get machines next to him, Greenwood and De Goey and Adams

I'm excited

I can imagine big footy cyber people meet at a game, what do we call each other
Hi Vicky Park,
Oh hi Saintly Viewed
Looks there is Royal Sampler and Knightmare.
Over there the Collingwood supporter in the penguin suit wearing a Mick M badge that's That's Gold
Anyway luckily my real name is Saintly Viewed....

Amusing all the same

Easy to skin, taste great

Gives a whole new meaning to 'cat lover'.

You stood on your carton of beer and got progressively shorter as the game went on.

Before I turned into a piss head myself I used to stand next to the piss heads and stand on the empty cans
grew an extra few inches ( and yes I'm old before the aluminum cans )

Wyatt Kicking a Goal:

 

[sirlothie]

Saw some Treloar highlights on Collingwood FB, he is moving very, very well. Plenty of baulks and dodges and run and carry. Looks like he tries to extract maximum value from his possessions. Going to be a revelation.
