VFL VFL Round 16 v Footscray. Friday July 7. 3:05pm @ Avalon Airport Oval.

Reef gets pushed in the back. No down the ground free.....

 

[frizzle]

25 hitouts to 6 so far. Fair to say our rucks are not even competitive.

 

[Hong Kong Pie]

Ouch, just saw the score line. 53 - 18 to the Dogs, 25 mins. into the 2nd qtr.

 

[danielnajdek]

Of course the ump sees that push in the back........

 

[whiskeytown]

Our rucks at VFL level are way below what we require. Begg isn't going to be a ruck at any level. So why not develop him where he may be a chance to make it? Steene should be first ruck & move Begg where we see him developing. Sweet will take them both to the cleaners anyway.

Agree.

Everyone but the club can see that Begg’s leap, athleticism competitiveness will suit him better in defence

Give him a go down there

… especially since we are down 3 tall backs from last year (madgen, McMahon, Kelly now a mid)

 

[stormskye]

Excellent clearance by macrae then

 

[cityslick1]

Ryan must be held back for the seniors….

 

[eyeroller]

Jesus these commentators. Does every single thing have to be a Ginnivan roast? I'm sick of it

 

[Doc1763]

nice kick Ginny

Yep if he doesn't make it as a KPP then he is off the list. I have my doubts either way.

 

[Hong Kong Pie]

Hope McStay gets through with no probs.

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

Just checked the score, whilst working, and what's going on, this game been put in the too hard basket?
See Ginni only 4 disposals to half time and McStay 2.....

 

[manicpie]

I think I'm more exited about Steene for next year than McStay

 

[TradeDraft]

Done some good things but the forward line is being heavily starved.

And Buggered Quickly in the Midfield

 

[Doc1763]

well done Steene

 

[eyeroller]

Gee I like the look of Steene. He's great for a mark and has been goaling every week for a while now

 

[stormskye]

Steene lovely mark and goal from 50. Kids got the making of a good ruck forward

 

[TradeDraft]

That’s the worst non HTB decision I’ve ever seen

I told the Scumps what I thought too

 

[Hong Kong Pie]

Good mark and goal by Steene, 54 - 31 at half time.

ball wasnt in the forward line for a long time. McStay didnt come on until the start of the 2nd quarter

 

[whiskeytown]

Ryan must be held back for the seniors….

Ryan and Bianco not playing vfl

I like Ryan but happy to give him his debut next year

 

[stormskye]

We dominated the last 10minutes, just couldn’t convert. Still in this

 

[whiskeytown]

25 hitouts to 6 so far. Fair to say our rucks are not even competitive.

And Jordan sweet is a journey man

Pies need a mature ruck in the VFL. Pity they didn’t grab Naismith when available

 

[Kes1984]

Hope McStay gets through with no probs.

I feel like the VFL style of scrappy possession footy, on crappy suburban grounds, is a nice way to get injured all over again.

 

[sr36]

Reef has had a fair bit of the ball. Did he play midfield that half?
