VFL - Elimination Final vs Pies @ Port Melbourne, 2:10pm Sunday 2 September 2018

[Hoffy]

Useless piece of info - Roughead (Haw) came to the game with JoeDan and sat with our boys for the game.

[sweatyman]

Are you sure it’s useless?..

[Stressed_out]

I don’t suppose Gaff and Shiel joined them?

[aboods]

Draper was massive today. The difference btw the sides. Gave us first use in every contest. Very impressed.

Sammy is going to be an absolute gun.

I’m looking forward to the time when you stop telling us to be patient, and start saying we should bring him in.

Another year or so.
But he’s tracking beautifully.

I reckon he’s doing his best to prove you wrong and be ready earlier.

Any replay up yet? Just checked 7 plus and only last nights game up at this stage.

[Mr_Sunbury_1]

Hartley and McNeice are definitely AFL standard, they’ve played enough AFL and they haven’t looked out of place.

Yeah. Nah. Not even close.

[Houli_Dooli]

Draper had like 60 hit outs

[theDJR]

Draper had like 60 hit outs

63 + 8 for other Bombers

Pies 30…

[Stallion]

For a VFL final, that was still so satisfying knocking Collingwood out.

Could you imagine doing them in an AFL Elimination final… you know what I cant, its too far fetched and orgasmic just thinking of it.

[Paul_Peos]

You’re not actually saying Hartley is ‘not even close’ to AFL standard, are you?

I mean, really?

[Deadly]

When he played afl this year, notice shrugged a tackle with the hips, looks to have a real strong body

[Houli_Dooli]

Peoples thtoughts on Kobe Mutchs game had a lot of the ball?
Commentators were impressed with Francis.
Said this will be his last year playing vfl.
Zerk looked good too in his contests. We controlled the air. And had first use from Draper.

I only saw last quarter and part of second on tv.
Thanks to the guy who suggested VPN thingy.

Surprised only crowd of 3,300 as well given no Afl footy this week.

I only saw the last quarter and a bit, seemed like Jok? was Draper’s opponent and Draper did a lot of waiting for him to mistime his big leap then just palmed it off. Not downplaying his game, loved his around the ground and follow up work, but Jok was pretty bad. Was he their main ruck?

[bloodychoir]

Zero looked great in the last. As did Francis and Hartley. Very good VFL backline there

[Deckham]

De Minaur is a freak.

Sure is.
Who’d want to walk around with a bull’s head?

No, they had another more conventional (but rubbish) ruck. Draper had by far the most ruck time of anyone today (Sibbald occasionally helping out).

[jonovdp]

but Jok was pretty bad. Was he their main ruck?

You wouldn’t have thought that, while listening to the commentary. They wouldn’t shut up about him.

[Hoffy]

Jok is a project player waiting for an AFL rookie spot. He did ruck and was crap but his athletic ability, skill and willingness to get the ball should get him a gig next season.

Next game…against Richmond @ 12.30pm Saturday…what a shithouse timeslot
