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

[Lomas]

Geelong showing they now have electricity

Bringing back the SEC all makes sense now.

 

[hellas_johnny]

So with the games being back to back it once again opens the possibility of giving the sub vfl minutes ala greenwood last week depending on how much they play in the afl

In fairness to those boys, the VFL program was a bit of a shit show during the time they were involved.

Tom Lynch deserves a promotion to be a line coach. Can take Blakeys role.
Convinced he's hot property and will be poached if we arent proactive.

Bloody miracle what hes done down there.

Potentially our ability to keep him, is enhanced by the success of former Clarko lieutenants in becoming senior coaches.

Hardwick, Bevo and Simmo are premiership coaches. Cameron coached nearly a decade and made a grand final, Fages has coached 150 games now and has a contending side. McRae spent his last year as an assistant under Clarko and Sam Mitchell shows promise as a coach.
The only one who's failed so far was Bolton, but he had to undertake a hard-yard rebuild at a basketcase club.
Something for him to consider anyway. But agree we should lock him away for as long as we can and guarantee that he'll progress up the ranks.

Yes and no. He's had pretty remarkable AFL-listed availability this year, plus some pretty handy senior recruits. Not sure how much credit he gets for those things, but IMO they are as critical to the success as any masterstrokes Lynch has been making in the box.

Yea but he's also had to play hall so it evens out

[hellas_johnny]

Wonder if they do the same with ziebell as greenwood if he doesn't play much as sub

 

[The Nostradamus]

Butler and lienert can’t even get back in the side

 

[hellas_johnny]

Lowson would want to find some form. He's been nowhere near it lately. Especially considering we already have enough smaller forwards in the team

 

[muttley45]

What is the record for clearances at VFL level ? the old Goldy/Cunners combo might smash it this week.

I’d rather Lowson than spicer getting a spot in the vfl team

[AnUltimateRessie]

Goldstein is going to get about 100 hit outs. It's going to be a blood bath in the ruck contest

 

[hellas_johnny]

Seems a very weak Geelong team aswell. Only 9 afl listed and only 3 I've heard of

They've been struggling all year for AFL numbers. Another few injuries in their AFL team means they are in strife again. Should be pretty easy for north.

 

[Mr north man]

Butler and lienert can’t even get back in the side

It’s a shame either player isn’t playing mind you come VFL finals like to see 1 or both in as they should play before Edwards.
Mind you what’s to quantify amount of games for finals I was told 6 maybe 7 so can we get an update.
If it’s 6 could Goldstein qualify and CCJ as well? That would interesting if that happens that could spell trouble for Edwards.

 

[hellas_johnny]

So refreshing that the vfl can't even fit leinart smfc Butler into the team because of such a healthy afl list. Times have changed

 

[William Caresser]

The seconds/VFL and AFL sides are as close to parity as there has been in the club's history. The VFL side would be a very good chance to beat the AFL side this week.

I’m not sure about that, but it’s terrific to have a really strong seconds side. We can rightly question why Taylor and Laz are contracted til 24, but they are at worst decent AFL depth. We haven’t had this depth for a long time. Excluding Goldy, Cunners and Phillips, all of Howe, Taylor, Laz, Hall and Turner can play a role if required. Plus exciting kids developing in Bergman, Goater and Archer, plus Bonar who I still believe could be a handy defender.

Just can't remember a time when the 2nds would get within 10 goals of the seniors - obviously there's been affiliations at some stages. But this side would go close to winningg. Definitely good to have a strong VFL side but not so good on the flipside.
