Reward for effort - even if its under the radar a bit.

Man I must've been watching a different game. I can understand Hardie getting votes because he did a lot right despite making some mistakes. But I thought Ward absolutely butchered it all day and was terrible.

Could it simply be the case that Ward was the highest possession getter for Box Hill and as they won, he received top polling for his team?

Sometimes it does feel that stats play a bigger part in votes received compared with actual impact

 

[geelong_crazy26]

Yeah I don't disagree. Will be a good player for a long time. I just don't see star potential

I think at his peak he might look something like Tom liberatore in terms of output and style of play.

Elite Aggressive contested ball winning mid.

The votes are given by the coaches of both teams. You would assume they would be more sophisticated in how they assign votes.

What's happened?

And would that mean game moved, cancelled or postponed?

Update from the Club on new venue

Most of our interesting players have been playing in the AFL the last few weeks.

 

[Hamingja]

It is a much stronger team this week presuming what has been named actually eventuates.

Presuming Collingwood won't be much chop though given their injuries to the senior side. Can't be much left running around in the 2s.

COS, Knevitt, Mullin, Edwards, Clohesy all still interesting players to watch for the future. Willis making a late bid to keep a list spot for next year. Pro and anti Hardie factions to clash again.

Still way more interesting than the VFL has been for a number of years prior to this year.

Ever since he shaved I lost all interest in him.

 

[thejester]

TIRED: oh no we need to recruit a fill in ruckman and also a KPF

WIRED: we've got Joe furphy

 

[OzeSparky]

Hoping Stanley can get through a full game.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

While we've been rewarding VFL form and are a little weaker than a month ago the 2nd last Pies should be beaten today. Very disappointing if we don't get a W.

As an aside in life you can feel good about yourself after a fresh trim. In bigfooty life it's a fresh avatar trim. 2nd last pick in the draft and 3 months of ressies with the bankers and our next promising career is born.

 

[Hamingja]

Kicking long to a contest is not going to work. No aerial presence at all.

 

[Hamingja]

Only takes one poor VFL listed player in the chain to stuff it

 

[OzeSparky]

Is Big George playing? I haven't spotted him


Edit.

There he is

 

[OzeSparky]

Parfitt having a good game. 12 possies 1st qtr

Careful. We'll have the latex salesman in here off the long run-up if word starts getting around.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

He has no trouble finding the ball but his disposal hasnt been great.

 

[Gunf]

Poor ball use is a thing again this week and is costing us
