3.40pm AEST, Saturday 20 July

In: Tanner Bruhn, Jhye Clark, Oscar Murdoch, Liam Kershaw
Out: Mitch Knevitt (AFL), Phoenix Foster (Injured), Ryley Hutchins, Hunter Gottschling

Good choice to run him through the VFL for at least 1 game

 

[CatToTheFuture]

I would like the see Clohesy given a solid run on ball, because I think he'd give it a solid shot in this. Willis too

Key back in the ruck. VFL listed players through the midfield.
As I said, will not be pleased if our midfield does not do well.

Smith will be the ruck they wont line up like that.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Smith will be the ruck they wont line up like that.

A distinction without a difference.

Why can't you accept this midfielder eld should be dominating at this level?

 

[CatsDoItBetter]

Is it possible to watch the vfl games on replay?

I was just pointing out baker wont play chb and smith will play ruck.

Im not sure our MF is what id call dominant. Aside from bruhn (who is there purely for fitness and will only play 3/4) and hardie the rest are developing kids or average plodders (parfitt).

I dunno, it was a wrist injury. He's been running for a month. Reckon we might see full minutes from Bruhn

 

[magic_johnson!]

Wonder if Bruhn plays limited minutes. He should have got plenty of running in

You typically aren’t allowed to run when recovering from a scaphoid injury

 

[Kobe Gryant]

You typically aren’t allowed to run when recovering from a scaphoid injury

Tanner has apparently completed a lot of running though, so clearly our doctors are the best going around...

 

[cats_09]

Confirmation of Rhys out there with the VFL team - thinking the last few weeks have provided a clear picture that Stanley is really seen as an emergency for the seniors, and with Conway on the sidelines, it's SDK who's now our preferred ruck option

Neither Parfitt or Clohesy out there though - so maybe a late change with an extra mid to get a run

 

[cats_09]

I'm wondering if Bruce is trying to get the coaches attention - he's gone with the bleach hair look

He has had a good start... the guy just needs to keep it up for an entire game.

 

[cats_09]

2 goals on the board in less than 3 minutes

Furphy is starting up forward - he's a good size player, looks strong across the upper body and a nice kick for our second goal

 

[Lana]

You'd have to redefine what 180 degrees is after that set shot

 

[cats_09]

Make it 3 goals in 4 minutes

Not sure if Footscray has touched the ball yet - as per the app, they haven't

 

[D BRIDGE]

Fair to say our mids will be getting an armchair ride today in the guts.

The Doggies ruck cannot ruck.

 

[splashwave]

Very nice by Clark.

 

[cats_09]

Also good to see Bruhn & Clark involved early and getting on the scoreboard

 

[Lana]

Great ball movement poor footyIQ from the WB player, should have let Furphy kick the ball

 

[cats_09]

He has had a good start... the guy just needs to keep it up for an entire game.

Everytime I've watched games he's played, I've enjoyed watching him play - definitely not the perfect or complete player, but he's a real competitor, there's some grunt to him and can see he wants to be involved

 

[Lana]

We have way too much talent in this team, that was poor by Bews thuough

 

[cats_09]

Rhys really has lost his goal kicking boots

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Tanner dominating will only be 1 week in the 2s for him

 

[Lana]

Poor by Mullin exactly the same mistake he made in the AFL a few months back
