VFL VFL Tigers vs Box Hill - Sunday, May 15, 12.00pm AEST, Box Hill City Oval

[fargothegreat]

The clash at Box Hill City Oval kicks off at 12.00pm will be broadcast live on Channel 7.

Really excited for this one. We'll have our strongest lineup of the year in to take on the Hawks. Looking forward to seeing if last week's stellar midfield trio of Sonsie, Ross and Dow can back it up with another strong performance.

Hugo is back too, as are Stack, RCD and big Samson Ryan.

Of the few VFL boys left in the side I'm really excited to watch potential midseason draft options Tylar Young and Sam Tucker up forward.

Shedda named to play too.

Shedda named to play too.

I don't reckon he plays. My guess is he'll be the AFL side's sub.

EDIT: hust realised the game is on Sunday, so if Shedda is sub he could still play some VFL minutes.

So he was dropped not managed as was stated, he has been out of touch of late

Would depend on the minutes he plays really, reading a bit too much into it I think

You could be right, I guess managed doesn't necessarily mean rested.

Good to see HRS back

And surprised to see Parker named , thought I heard/ read he was on crutches after the game

Parker didn’t mention the ankle last night just a finger issue.

Lack of key forwards there, wondering if Miller does go forward here.

Was thinking it could have been an option until Biggy got promoted. It seems we're putting our faith into Young and Tucker (with help from Ryan when he's not rucking) as the talls up forward. Both were fantastic last week, so hopefully they thrive with the extra responsibility.

Tucker is 23rd player, whatever that means now. Do you know how the 23rd can be used?

No restriction on the 23rd man's game time any more. Used to be 60% max, but that was removed when they brought it back this year.

Very strong VFL side again this week

Means the iron curtains been put up to throw oppo scouts off the scent.

Think you have it right with the roles in that case.

Expect about 20min game time

May just wander up and have a look on Sunday.
In all my years living in the eastern suburbs I’ve never been to the City oval!

 

[captain blood 17]

While i hope the Tigers smash the hawks, i will also be barracking for the young Traralgon listed ruck playing for Box Hill currently David Brinker Ritchie. H’s a great kid. Only 20 years old.

 

[tropicaltiger]

So he was dropped not managed as was stated, he has been out of touch of late

managed shedda talk - in horse racing terms

he's getting a bit of a freshen up
lightening up his workload
changing up his routine
we just need to pick and choose some of his lead up races

he will be back as good as ever
we are expecting a massive spring carnival from this campaigner

 

[juss]

Another strong game from Sonsie would make it very hard not to debut him.

 

[Karp3_dm]

Stack best on ground pls!

 

[This Is Anfield]

Anyone know how much it costs to get in to a VFL game?

Free I think, but it’s been a while

Walking to Nunawading, train to Laburnum and short walk to the ground

Our lack of KPP talent showing out with Tarrant Miller & Ryan the only ones named. Really looking forward to see how we go today as there are a number of kids who are putting selection pressure on and it'll be interesting to see who continues to put in solid performances.
