VFL Game Day VFL Round 2: Essendon vs Collingwood (118-38 win)

[Skipper_]

Hopefully this is a sign of things to come on Tuesday.

 

[Rack Watts]

How much of an absolute pussy is Aish? Anytime somebody comes near him, he jumps.

 

[Liberator]

Jeez, Bellchambers was really impressive. Love the look of Mutch.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

There would be some nervous boys on Tuesday if the don't lift.

 

[Darealrath]

Kobe didnt stop running and that with good game awareness and skill either side of the body makes for decent 200 game career.

If he can develop a bit of explosiveness he'll be a gun.

In great shape to bring in some of these guys for the short turnaround against Melbourne.

 

[Alfred E Neuman]

Final score?

Final score?

118-38

Final score?

118-38 I think mate. Score board was never updated.

 

[efcboy]

Pretty much everyone played well which is great as we should consider rotating half the team for the next afl match.

Bellchambers, Gleeson, Stewart, Mutch, j.merrett, Myers, bird, Langford, hocking, Howlett, McKernan, Dea should all be in contention for next week.

Some grand Collingwood recruiting on display out there today.

 

[YEMOC NAYR]

mutch very impressive also. will be tough to get a gig but hes looking promising for the future.

 

[Harlequin]

Thanks for the updates folks

I was watching junior footy so unable to watch the VFL

Pleased to hear Bellchambers and Myers doing well

 

[Rack Watts]

Aish and Mayne poop it up really badly.
In the mean time Marley Williams plays the game of his life for North.

 

[dnbassador]

Feel sorry for Stewart having to play the FF position but he's more a CHF up the ground type player

 

[ezard15]

Well that was a bloody great day at Windy Hill.

hopefully a sign of things to come on Tuesday.

I wished Hooker and Watson the best of luck for Tuesday so that probably means we will win.

I also kicked a miraculous goal from the Alan Hird Stand pocket at half time.

 

[Doss]

They were very decent without being amazing today.

Collingwood's disposal was laughably bad. Chris Mayne, Christ.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Aish and Mayne poop it up really badly.
In the mean time Marley Williams plays the game of his life for North.

Mayne fumbling the ball under no pressure in the middle of the ground that lead to an Essendon goal was comedy gold.

Jeez, Bellchambers was really impressive. Love the look of Mutch.

Hearing good things about mutch, possible debut soon?

 

[Harlequin]

Sorry if it's already been said but did Sam Draper play and if so how did he go today?

Okay, that was completely dominant and we didn't get out of 3rd gear. Great win by the boys. Player by player:

#2 Tom Bellchambers: Utterly dominant in the ruck, probably won 45 hitouts. 5 goals is a handy return as well.

#8 Martin Gleeson: Was excellent at cutting off attacks and moving them forward the few times it went down his end.

#16 Josh Begley: Good signs. Has a very strong body which I like.

#17 James Stewart: Overall a good performance. Good hands, kicked 3 but he could have torn them apart.

#19 Kobe Mutch: Didn't do Mutch wrong, I think his left is better than his right going off today. Very smart footballer, knows where the release point will be.

#20 Jackson Merrett: Another "meh" game. Did some nice things

#23 David Myers: Was awesome. Get him in vs Melbourne.

#27 Mason Redman: Basically a more aggressive Monfries right now, needs to clean up his decision making.

#30 Kyle Langford: Showed his class today

#36 Michael Hartley: Beat his man and was willing to pull the trigger on 45 metre kicks into the corridor which I like.

#37 Dylan Clarke: Showed good signs but I think it'll be a development year in the VFL.

#38 Sam Draper: See above. Soft hands at the ruck which I like.

#39 Heath Hocking: Bossed it

#40 Ben Howlett: Bossed it

#44 Shaun McKernan: Moved well. Really good to see him dominate his direct opponent

#49 Matthew Dea: Destroyed the $500k man whilst providing good rebound from defence.

Sam wasnt good.

He was fine. Not sure what game you were watching, but a teenage ruckman doesn't usually dominate the state leagues.
