Ye Olde VFL MegaThread — August 2013 to December 2015

Is it tanking if we put our best lineup in the VFL in the aim of a premiership?

a team captained by muscles is a team I can get behind.

As good as it was, people can’t be seduced by that Dalgleish goal in the NAB cup.
His VFL form really hasn’t been good enough to justify a game in the ones.
Kinda in the same boat as Browne - I’d reckon they need to put in at least another 3-4 solid games to be considered.

Yeah, Shroder. Polkinghorne attracted my attention by aggravating his opponent on the way back to the middle.

NOB vs Howlett

Would you rather a guy get 15 disposals but 10 tackles a game

or 25 disposals (not damaging) but 5 tackles a game

Interesting choice.

Easy. Neither. Both are plodders.

Give me Dalgleish instead.

Running out of bounds deliberately is the new black.

And as I write that, someone snaps the goal for us.

26-20

THAT one was polkinghorne. Snap out of a pack.

Party trick mark from tippa.

TIPPA body work mark to kill their clearance kick.

Prismal plays for dogs right?

Us 4 2 26

Them 3 2 20

Tippa's not a rookie.

So just a VFL player? I’d be getting him on the list next year then. Seems to have the foot skills we are sorely lacking.

Said it in another thread - he’s possibly the answer to our small forward problem.

Siren.

We lead 4.2.26-3.2.20 at quarter time.

Great work. What number is ■■■■ wearing

Footscray had more of the ball that quarter and were decent at creating space for themselves.

Fair dinkum - Can not compare the 2.
How can you compare stats across 2 diffrent levels of football?
Would think Howlett could rack up 25 plus 25 tackles in the VFL!

It was more a hypothetical if Nob was to play at AFL level

Could be worse, IIRC last year a round 16 game was played the week before round 1.

Don’t ask.
