I only watched the first half so far - you can watch the replay on 7 AFL app.
Myers, McNeice, Baguley all look a step above at VFL level.
Clarkes a bit harder to notice as he gets a lot of touches in the contest, but he willed it forward in the wet.
Heppell was good again.
Laguda has had a good last couple of weeks
Bowman competed, thats all you can ask from the kid.

Ha nah, I was halfcut and I still remember that shirt it was so LOUD
I will have to negotiate a variation to my off season contract with my wife, skip what she has planned for me next weekend and try to get to the prelim !

I rated Hartley. Contested in the ruck when we had been losing decisively. Got a lot of clearances by kicking the ball in the middle of packs.

Clarke had a big last quarter, standing up in tackles and getting it forward.
HepA probably credited with 0% efficiency but hack it forward was need of the day.
We lost the hit-outs but Hartley and Bowman were not dead losses after the ruck contests (Werribeeās rucks were).
McNeice insanely busy first quarter.
Jok hard. Ditto Tynan in the back pocket.
Bags always a contributor.
Mynott was decent. Myers a slow start but ultimately our top disposal getter.
Laguda had one of his best games. A few moments of class and hardness in the chaos.
Long made zero errors, and affected more contests positively than his stats suggest.
Landt is one of the VFL players Iād keep if they shrink to just 6 next week (OK, I havenāt fully considered balance or our opponent yet, but I think that stands).

Which 6 vfl guys do you think we keep?
Assume Hocking, Heppell, Landt, Bowman.
McKenna?
Wouldnāt be surprised if McKenna copped a week for that jumper punch.
The Werribee player made sure everyone see that his lip was cut open.
You can add Aylett as a certainty and Younan of course
Aylett had a better game but I would not call him a certainty (on form, anyway).
Tynan has a case. Laguda was good.
Younan is struggling (so is Hocking, but he still gets a score or two). Landt in front right now.
Where is Nino?!?

If Snelling, Lav, Gleeson and Ham all come in, then 4 VFL guys will miss.
Iād say, Heppell, Hocking, Bowman, Younan and Guccione will be the 5 to retain there spots. Need Bowman in the ruck and Gucc down back for height

Doubt Gleeson will play.
I liked the look of Tynan, how old is he?
Tynan is 25yo. Heās an ex-AFL player for Melbourne (just 2 senior games) who thought he was retired due to concussion issues. Was originally going to only be a coach for us this year.

This was the highlight i needed after a sad weekend. Pumped for the lads. I think we can go all the way this year. Solid core of players there will some AFL listed guys coming back in the team.
Canāt wait for next week.
yep - the VFL side winning is a boost for the club and the supporters. Itāll help build back a winning culture.

Thank you to @theDJR, and @IceTemple and others for their updates and commentaries. I enjoyed reading about it without knowing the result, and the tension was palpable.
GO DONS!
