VFL VFL 2024 - Geelong & the greater league

[Gunf]

Hmm i really wish i could not be a responsible person for 1 weekend so i could go down to Geelong and watch Hawkins in the VFL but nooooo i have to do the responsible things

Clohesy is a unit. I hope opportunity wise that he starts next year level pegging with Jhye. Fair enough give the highly touted draft pick the inside running but 2 x sub appearances for Clohesy v 15 games for Jhye this year is not performance based. Jhye has to earn it next year.

Next year could be interesting for some of our younger players with a few vets retiring and some depth most likely departing (Parfitt) I could see Clohesy and Clark both getting 10+ games each rather easily by moving the magnets a few times or during rests for older players.

Tuohy will 100% gone so will Parfitt most likely add in Duncan is a good chance to not be best 23 for the whole year and spots open up if they are willing to take them.

What happened to Shark?

He is the next Atkins with better skills IMO.

I agree but Atkins skills a underrated imo he actually has good skills he just lacks the athletic abilities to be elite.

What happened to Shark?

He had been battling a knee injury which is why he had been absent for a few weeks before playing last weeks final

Wondering if playing last week was a last grasp chance to put his hand up for any potential senior recall this finals series, but maybe the knee didn't pull up well after the match any they've decided to put him on ice instead

Considering he is out injured again i think it is a real possibility that it was a last ditch effort to be ready but failed so he will be done for the year now. Unless he reinjured himself at training.

He mightn't be the most athletic but man, I love his attitude. It's elite.

He's a terrier. He'll run through brick walls, jump on a hand grenade, and take bullets for the team.

He's selfless, and whilst he's not the most talented he's the guy you want beside you when the fight gets down and dirty.

He gives 100% pure grunt every time.

It's good to have the flashy players, but for mine it's crucial you have players with the mindset of Atkins within your core if you're to be successful.

Couldn't agree more every side needs an Atkins or 2

 

[Generalissimo]

On top of busting a gut running and tackling all night, I reckon Atkins's disposal was uncharacteristically accurate against Port.

 

[Mattttty]

these ****ing campaigners have geoblocked a vfl game bc its on 7

Ive watched all the game this year and you ****ing lock me out now.

You mean spirited campaigner faced peices of shit.

Yes im pissed.

I feel your pain. Sounds petty of them. Have you considered a VPN? It'll let you pretend your computer is in Australia.

Southport are a good physical side.

Will be interesting to see if crossley puts physical attention into sdk at the stoppages etc.

 

[supahoops]

Do you give Tuohy a run today? Having a win can only help our AFL side. And what price do you put on a VFL flag? Tuohy could potentially only have played 20 minutes of football in a month come Preliminary Finals..

Was gonna wander over but the winds picking up, all the action will be on the outer side, couch and cheap beers for me.

 

[supahoops]

Assuming no Tuohy then..?

 

[juzcat]

Great to see Guthrie back in action.
Looks fit and lean in the warm-up.

Hopefully he gets through unscathed.

 

[Mad_Hatter]

If Cam Guthrie has a field day..... and backs it up next week...... does he come in?
Be hard pressed to say no, fit and in form is our best midfielder and would make a huge difference.

 

[cats_09]

No Tuohy

We won the coin toss and kicking to the Selwood Stand end

Hawkins & Chuckie starting up forward

Guthrie down in defence - like he did against Carlton

SDK in the ruck, with Parfitt, Knevitt & Clark

 

[PzBlinky]

Err...did I see Wiltshire listed as in the backline? Has he been switched back?

The state of their ruckman
