Bates Mate

Really he got a kick after that play

3 clearances where due to dud bounces that went to gawns half of the circle

Of course he kicks that

3 times

Kozzieeeeee

Umps need to call these bounces back. Twice now we've been dudded

Boys look on

Except that year he was a regular in the 22 that we won a premiership, or when he lead the league in effective kicks inside 50 the year after

Grundy out jvr in, all the talk will be about a "failed" experiment. I'm still glad we have Grundy at the club and he still might be best 22 by end of the year. I'm glad the footy department are having a look at different combinations. I look forward to seeing what BBB and JVR look like together.

I used to care about this stuff when we where perennial cellar dwellers. It was a sign of hope and that we had a bright future. Couldn't care less now, sure it's recognition of a good game by a young player but I would bet Mcvee is stoked being a regular in a top 4 team and a rising star nom is not a concern for him. Jordan gysberts got 2 noms & Lewis Taylor won the award so it's a bit of a nothing

So badly out of form, surely 5 mins in the midfield to try get him into it, over the past 6 weeks wouldn't been when a try!?

Watching channel 7 . Are we even playing?

It's a disgrace

Dud bounce should've been called back

Agree VFL intensity is easy off AFL. I was trying to make a point that dropping jvr to the VFL isn't because he is being tested and that at his age and stage of development and his attitude would be exerting just as much energy.

No doubt players can be managed in the VFL. Just don't think jvr is and he would be working just as hard as he would in the AFL on worse grounds

VFL isn't a rest and a 20 year old with jvr's attitude and work ethic dosent know how to not go 100% in a game of footy. In many ways VFL can be more taxing on the body

Because he hasn't got nearly enough of the pill this year

He played VFL so not resting though

Why have 2 genuine two forwards when you can have one and a resting ruckman who hasn't played forward his whole career and another who can't kick straight and get in the way of the genuine forwards

Outs are correct, Spargo in seems to lack selection integrity

No idea. Ask the talk ask summer was getting more players though the midfield and looked great in pre season and round 1

Viney by the length of the Flemington straight , best . Backline held up well. Rest forgettable or were memorable for the wrong reasons

Wasn't the reason we lost, competed well in the conditions and actually lead to the ball and bought it to ground. Need him in with jvr. Max and Grundy resting forward is a big issue. Don't lead and we just bomb it to them

Haven't been Melbourned yet. Get them in. bowey , Salem anyone with skill forward please. BBB did ok considering the conditions want to see him with jvr and gawn Grundy leading to positions our main forwards are not. It's basic forward play.
