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

Pies desperate, their defence will crumble against the likes of WCE, with or without him, based on that formline.

Very disappointed in LAVā€™s game. Would have expected a 30+ possession game and a couple of goals for a player trying to crack it into the senior team. Especially after Clarke went down early and we needed someone to step up.

Iā€™ve said a few times this season, the value of having a AFL quality captain in Heath Hocking lead the young blokes out there every week is sooo invaluable to the development of our young players.

No VFL clubs have this sort of quality leadership at their disposal.

He thoroughly deserves it.
You would be hard put to find a more passionate, more committed man anywhere in our club.

great win!

iā€™m not a huge vfl watcher, is there any chance of us beating the tiggers next week?

Absolutely. The hardest game will be Casey the week after.

Buddhaā€™s shepherd in our coast to coast goal just before the half and Hartley belting it 80 metres from the kickout were the highlights for mine.

Every stat that Hind had was gold, breaks lines and creates.

Players these days donā€™t even think about shepherdingā€¦ theyā€™re thinking purely about a handball receive.

Hind is like Saad in the taking off and bouncing and just assuming no one can get him

Perfection indeed - basically took the Collingwood player out just as he was about to touch Hind. Hind was running away but the Collingwood player may have touched him and put Hind off.

Itā€™s a bonus that someone of Hockingā€™s calibre has continued playing post-AFL with our VFL side to help with their development.

Francis, Redman, Draper and Zerk all doing @Aceman proud, wonā€™t be long before they are all dominating in the seniors. My guess is the latter two will join the former in 2020.

Reckon thereā€™s a chance that weā€™ll add another Croweater if we keep our 1st this year as well, Rozee the most likely candidate with Hately an outside chance.

Edit - I forgot Lav 2.0 too, look forward to seeing his progress in 2019

The play of the day.

yep - and here is the video of the whole play. Great pressure by the Essendon boys to get the turnover and then capitalise.
