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

[tazaa]

Flynn doubling up both days

Mahony, CCJ, Harvey, Free all missing and on the injury list.
Then you have Taylor, Turner, Howe promoted to the seniors.

This is where we've fallen away since the Box Hill match.

Cunners and Hall were handy.
Like the idea of Young in the middle

Personally, I am a bit disappointed Cunners and Hall decided to retire immediately and just walk out on the VFL boys. The club has been damn good to Ben and Aaron and they could have shown just a bit more commitment. I guess in the modern era. It's all about what's best for the players. Stuff the team.

Hall couldn't get his achilles right playing regularly and seemed to have had enough.

Yeah apologies for the header saying Sunday but it was taken directly from the changes article
north posted online which gr posted the link to.

It's probably a byproduct of how shit our season has been but part of me is really hoping that the first name of no.79 J.Ellwood is actually Jake.

 

[hellas_johnny]

Carlton got slaughtered so we're 5.1% ahead of them before the game. Anyone want to do the math to see how much we'd need to lose by

depends how much each score but a 50 to 110 loss would make our percentage 106.3, lower than Carlton's 106.5

It'd be great to see the band back together

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Edwards rucking as the primary ruck.

 

[The Nostradamus]

No archer today

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Locked in the tigers front half. Richmond 8 - 0, 13 minutes in.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Sheez and Clarko at the game.

Would’ve been nice to have a competitive VFL in the finals. A good opportunity for our younger guys to experience finals intensity and pressure

 

[Merlin007]

Gotta rookie Sellers, surely

 

[The Nostradamus]

Very nice long goal by drury

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Lovely work by Dawson. Drury kicks truly from 48.

Richmond 9-6

 

[tommy_uman]

Forgive my if I'm wrong but haven't we guaranteed a wildcard spot? If we lost we come 10th at worst. Someone confirm?

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Hope snaps truly after some lovely tap work from Edwards.

NM 12-9

 

[KangaRooster]

Nice to see Drury get an early set shot and convert, be good if he can get some confidence and become a role player

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Hansen a lovely contested mark. Misses.

13-9

 

[KangaRooster]

Nice early bodywork and leap from RJH, bad miss

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Jy and a few others too.

 

[Mav]

Jy and a few others too.

Any black eyes?

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Rich 17 - 13 at quarter time.

A real contested scrap with both sides butchering forward opportunities. Tigers getting the rub of the green from the umps.

Laz, Bergs, Watkins, Davis and Spicer the best for north.
