Final scores?

101-78

When someone wearing number 52 kicks 7 against you it’s a bad day.

He was dirty on this team mate in last qtr who played on after he got a free kick for his 8th 20 metres out!

 

[Pure_Ownage]

He's been delisted for those reasons, you won't get a bigger rocket than having your career taken away.

It's just who he is. There's nothing we can do.

Thats frustrating because theres a very good player in there if he could just pull his finger out.

Mcmahon has been very good this year though funnily enough improved a lot since the pies delisted him.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Needs to find a role, I think next year, would be looking at him as defensive midfielder.

Someone like Drew at Port could be a good model for him.

Tagging to get him going.

We have to scale back our expectations, he is more limited than we thought. That is clear already.

Clark isnt a big enough body for that type of tagging role. However he is very smart at clearances releases well by hand and is a good kick. He will be a good clearance mid at afl only once his endurance improves-that is holding him back at present.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Very poor loss. Thrown away top 4.

But that's alright Mitch. Get another 35 touches... We'll take Oisin ****ing Mullin to Perth instead

 

[cats_09]

Rejoin the SANFL.

If you asked me a month ago, I would have said I wouldn't have been surprised if he was given a run in round 24

But with this weeks news on Hawkins retiring, should Tom get up to play that game, I don't see anyone in the team putting their hand up to miss - especially as there's already a week break to the finals

 

[Art Vandelay_]

yeah but he's got his name on 2 BLues 4th 1/4 goals

Defender concedes goal. More news at 6.
Given teams will average 12-14 goals a game all season every defender at every level of footy concedes goals.

It is quite often an over used slight on defenders.

Mids turning it over or giving away frees that later lead to goals aren't held to account anywhere near as much.

LOL. Of the 2 i was referring to - 1 was in the centre square as he'd pushed up the ground and got soft at the contest and they cleared it and scored.

So yeah... Defender bottled it.

[TheCattery2007]

Missed the game but pleased to see Foster kicking 3.2 and 13 disposals.

I see high potential in this bloke. At only 19 and 197cm I hope the list management team keeps him (contrary to suggestions of some on this board).

Remind me to never get caught in your crosshairs!

 

[Footy Smarts]

Was fairly predictable that. We suffer from the fact our VFL top ups tend to be really poor outside 2-3 regulars. So we've replaced borderline AFL players like O'Connor, Parfitt, Mullin, Bews and Stanley with guys not ready for VFL. The performance drops off quick in that case.

We didn't take our chances when we controlled the play. A few of our kids look to have hit the wall too. Clark looks cooked after a much bigger season than he's ever had before.

It was good to see Foster show his quality. I would've given him 1 more year before this but I think that shows he's worth persevering with.

 

[Gunf]

I didn't get to watch the last 1/4 and a bit but how many times does that make for us just being completely overrun in the last 1/4 or so.

We will get players back for finals though such as parfitt (who i think is done at afl level but is decent at vfl) and moc and a couple of others including bews to strengthen the side. Its a pretty open year so i can see us winning the vfl flag from 5th. The key is our midfield (which is actually fairly good if hardie parf clark knevitt clohesy plus herbert are in there) need to dominate bc osullivan is learning and doesnt have enough mature kpd to support him if our MF gets overwhelmed.

I would expect werribee to beat box hill next week which means we will get 4th if we beat sandy. But that would still mean werribee away in the first final which will be hard.

Good finals experience for our young AFL players.

Do agree on all points, but I'd like to add I think COS has been outstanding in the VFL this year. His mix of defence and offence has been great, he's going to be a player.

I am surprised they have not thrown him around in terms of position. Played solely in defence is that correct?

Is he a pure defender, or similar to SDK?

Probably want him to get used to things first and sometime next year they will start throwing him around

He's played a bit of wing and gone forward a couple of times too.

He's played a variety of roles in the games I've watched - other than direct midfielder

He's spent time up forward but often been switched back when the opposition has got on top of things - he looks a calming influence in defence

What ever happened to Kuol Mun... every was talking about him being the next big ruckman. And the big fella only played 6 games for the season
