VFL VFL round 15 v Frankston. Sunday July 7 1:05pm @ Kinetic stadium

Did AJ get some of his goals from strong contested marks? That would mean his confidence is up.

Some of them yeah.
Couple of them were just right time right place

That's what I feared. Goals-like stats, can be very misleading.

I get it Dave, but you wouldn't leave early in the last quarter if we were winning. It can be tough swallowing a bad loss with feral fans giving you shit but I think the very definition of band wagon is jumping off the ride when the crap hits the fan.

I copped a big backlash for having a go at the early leavers during the Swans game at the G. We were only two games away from one of the greatest days of our lives-surely the supporters can stick out a rare loss (at that stage of Fly's era) without spitting the dummy and storming out of the ground.

The optics are terrible too as you see the fans streaming out of the aisles and the opposition giving them a send off. Like friendship- it's easy to be there when it's all fun and partying. The test comes when the down times arrive.

That does not Effect me.

I don't listen to Idiot Fans

For me I only go with my Support Worker so we can wait to near end of game or end of game

People have Families and be easier to leave early IF we getting Flogged for themn

 

[Jen2310]

Why are they playing him forward when we are in dire need of a tall athletic defender?

Its a strange one isn't it? His future is clearly down back, but it seems they are playing him forward because of our lack of tall forwards at this point. He is happy to play anywhere, but they are just playing him where they think there is an opportunity at the moment.

He marked well.

 

[Copeland]

It seems Eyre might be the latest version of Scharenberg.

C’mon Scharenberg was a top ten pick while Eyre was a rookie pick.

AJ had a decent game. Just leave it there.

technically eyre was a 2nd rounder.
Higher pick than Beau

Not for us though, just a supplementary pick

 

[Jen2310]

I know. Just saying overall. Yes, he was a rookie for us, which is a bonus we got him for nothing as his potential is high given his age.

 

[gerryg400]

McInnes will replace Mihocek. It’s all but confirmed given he sat out most of the match despite being needed.

Noble will very likely not be back as there’s not enough time given the time out period starts the day after, not day of.

Iliro not ready for AFL. Only other VFL names who could return are Macrae and Sullivan.

Noble was concussed on the 29th and is allowed to play on the 12th day post concussion. That’s the 11th. Unless he has had issues he makes it with a day to spare.

And he's had no symptoms to date. Was already ticking the concussion boxes pretty quickly. I don't see there should be an issue, unless something changes.

Knowing forward craft can stand you in good stead playing CHB.

Do you want to tell them sideswipe ?

We don’t need a lawyer. This is simple arithmetic.

Now it’s less confusing (for me at least ).

It's 11 days. Not 12. I've had the lecture from sideswipe over it

 

[gerryg400]

That’s right. 11 day break and he can play on the 12th.
It’s pretty clear why they did it this way. If you get concussed on a Sunday you only miss one game even if you have 2 6-day breaks and play on Friday.

Fair enough, TradeDraft.

 

[ottoman]

I didn't watch the game, but it's weird seeing these stats & reading some of the comments..

Bytel 29 disposals @ 92% efficiency.

I was about to post the same thing.
Reading the game day thread all those players who have really good stats were apparently spuds.

 

[Gone Critical]

We've been having this conversation for the last decade and for some odd reason Derek Hine keeps surviving.

Might have something to do with the flags, GFs, PFs, finals and rapid tracking back to contention that has occurred on his watch

The father son system has certainly helped him with that..

Can you imagine where we would be without Nick Daicos?

 

[Mollythedolly]

We were ordinary for most of the game save for a couple of 10min periods, quite similar to the seniors.

Macrae and co lifted albeit when Frankston took their foot off tbh in the last.

Very frustrating game without many postives. Johnson played well, Sullivan tried hard. Allan had a so so game. Big roo was competitive.

Demattia we probably all unfairly expect more

I think Frankston had spent most of their petrol tickets by 3/4 time rather than took their foot off.

 

[Mollythedolly]

Given they only took one player off at half time, I assume that means they expect Cameron and IQ to be fine.

While it seems unlikely, they could still elevate someone who played the whole match. Especially as the sub. Does Noble miss again?
