VFL Ess vs Cats GMHBA 20th March 2026 @ 7:05PM

Heading down to see the wildlife photography and then put myself through watching the VFL team. I assume with the AFL game being on the Sunday we’ll be missing even more players due to being emergencies. Oh well.

El hawli the only player named in both senior and VFL teams so likely he’s not been selected for seniors.

I’d suggest Gresham is in.

Be good to see Vigo’s progress up against Rhys Stanley. Should have him covered if he’s close to AFL games

Why isn’t Jones listed on the wing where he belongs?

That’s the strongest VFL side I can remember us wheeling out for some time.

A few underdone types in Robey, Jones, Unwin, Cox, etc but the midfield & forward line has a decent amount of talent & senior experience for this level. Binns should be a handy addition on the wing.

I reckon El-Hawli will still play if our travelling emgs are whoever Kako & Gresham replace.

I must admit, I would not have been adverse to offering Hately a contract mid season.

The cats VFL midfield is going to be pretty handy too: Stanley, Stevens, Bowes, and Knevitt.

Good to see that many of our VFL players have returned once again this year, to give the team some continuity.

He’s nowhere near AFL standard IMO

So our AFL team is playing Sunday afternoon, and we get the Friday night VFL slot. Another example of fair scheduling by the AwFuL
