VFL Rd 9: Saturday May 23, 2026 @ 10am, Windy Hill v Richmond

You know the VFL played well, when Nino doesnt enter this thread.

If we lost, he’d be ranting and raving about how we should fold the club.

May will play, too scared to tell Dermie he isn’t playing just because of a few busted ribs.

Glad that Cox managed to have a big one, it’ll do his confidence a world of good to dominate a game, even at this level against a sub-VFL side.

They said on SEN it was his kidney and he was coughing up blood. Dermie is probably disappointed it’s not someone else’s blood he’s coughing up.

Oh jeez, that doesn’t sound good. Hope he’s ok.

If selection is logical (yeah I know) Cox, Kondog, Tsatas, Setterfield and Ngyuen will all be in the AFL next week

Cox a standout and put his hand up for selection imo.

Kondo and Nguyen also very good and may be a chance. Thought Huss was solid too but I feel they’ll want to get more fitness into him.

Of the VFL listed guys - Ferronato, Hateley, Eckersley and Sellers all had strong games.

I don’t say this to sink the boot in or look for attention, but I genuinely think we need to pay out Harry Jones’ contract and move on from him. He is 25yo now and has absolutely no future at AFL level.

starting to threaten the top 10. At least there’s some good signs in our VFL program.

I’d rather Joel Fitzgerald myself

Perfect timing really if Archer May is out with this soreness

His best value is as the utility, he popped up ruck / wing / forward today.

Brad Scott’s been watching. Nick cox highlights when he was playing under Rutten trying to work out how he got him playing so well.

And that would still require us to play Gresham!

Sadly also add if Redman doesn’t get up Gerreyn has to play, he is a beautiful kick

So we’ll likely lose 4 players from this VFL side to the seniors (5 players injured + emergency minus Tsatas and Setterfield). Not good for the VFL team.

Edit: five if Redman can’t play, one less if Ridley plays at some level.

Rutten just may be better coach.

“Starting to wonder if we should stop running him over in the car park every 3rd week”

What happened to Redman?
