VFL The VFL Thread Part II - [Wildcard Round (7 v 10) Melbourne v North Melbourne, Sunday 27 Aug, 2.45pm, Casey Fields]

[shimaburnsgrieg]

He’s been in the vfl for 2 weeks prior so just that in itself is incorrect

And in those games he’s has been good for a small forward 15 touches and 18 touches and a goal in each

And now best on

Meanwhile spicer has done nothing for a month and is in the team

So Bailey out - Turner in? Or Spicer out - Turner in.

Be mindful how you respond.

I agree with this; the club has built a solid VFL program, recruiting good "VFL professionals" like Lowson, players stepping down from the AFL (lineart, ben davis, connor downie) and some excellent scouting in the amateur grades (Tyler Sellers, Cooper Keogh).

Building a winning culture starts from the ground up

Agree with all of that!
Making the VFL program a bigger priority over the last 12 months, has been a major positive.

Recruiting experienced guys like Lowson and Lienert, has complimented by the young & hungry. Who are either straight off an AFL list and want a second chance or suburban, country, amateur guys who want to test themselves at a higher level. Has been a good list management strategy.
The recruitment of Tucker, Howe and Sheils has also improved the overall depth of the AFL list. There's a greater need for blokes to prove themselves in the 2's
Tom Lynch looks like a bloke who'll rise up the coaching ranks pretty quickly, one appointment the Noble regime got right was bringing him to the club.

This is as up and about as we've ever witnessed from you on here. Did you get laid or something?

POTY.

It must be something about the salutation in a username.

Mr North Man and Mr Taswegian definitely the Moe Sizlacks of the board.

I'm now at the stage of expecting us to win, rather than more or less resigned to losing, often badly.

A step forward ... I think

 

[jay317]

Geez how good is it having a decent VFL team out there every week

 

[year of the roo]

Hansen Jr next week then?

 

[shinboner magic]

Hansen Jr next week then?

Think so
Might have to get down there and watch in person

I’m back!

We played * and played our best footy but didn’t get the win, I felt like I could showcase my skill and look at this ferball I know you’ll like this

The crowd as you can hear went ape shit

She is the captain btw hehehe

Anyways, my coach said I’m now fitting in really nicely and know how to play my role. I think it’s just that our line coach was telling us to just take the game on and who cares if you got caught HTB.

Big game against the pies I reckon we could get our first W.
