RD 5 Saturday vs North Ballarat @ Vic Park

[jackcass]

Went to the game and very happy with the performance of the kids and the result was reward for effort. Can't question the application of these kids, although execution does sometimes leave a little to be desired. Nth Ballarat are not the team they were last year but look at the Pies team. Goldsack, Macaffer and McCarthy the only players with senior experience and McCarthy was off early in the 3rd with some hamstring issues. Very inexperienced side.

Collingwood
B: Tom Young, Lachlan Keeffe, Luke Rounds
HB: Tyson Goldsack, Paul Cribbin, Scott Reed
C: Paul Seedsman, Pat Liston, Kirk Ugle
HF: Daniel Farmer, Jack Perham, Alex Fasolo
F: Kris Pendlebury, Brent Macaffer, Jye Bolton
R: John Ceglar, John McCarthy, Tom Gordon
Int: Tom Sundberg, Kalem Post*, Tom Couch, Robert Eddy, Shae McNamara

Some observations:
Macaffer's application at this level leaves a lot to be desired, probably our worst performed player on the day and not supportive of the kids.

Keefe, Shae and Cribbin as our "new to AFL" players look more AFL ready than Hunt and Falou. Still make execution errors but that's to be expected.

Fasolo is a gem. Definitely AFL ready when he gets his chance.

Ceglar shows great promise. His marking forward and around the ground a highlight.

Rounds down back is a great experiment and good for his development.

Sundberg and Eddy show promise. Couch was competitive.

Pendles very unlucky not to be on a senior list.

Post was good, his mark and goal to grab the lead was a fantastic effort for the kid. Spoke to his father after the game and he was pumped. Kid was a Richmond supporter but now a convert.

ROAST: Pies VFL site does not have 2011 squad right. Post wasn't listed in the record and it wasn't until after the game when we were talking to his father that we found out who he is. Thought I'd check his profile and not even in the players listed. Very very poor. These guys deserve the recognition and acknowledgement.

Cheers for the info Guys much appreciated

Thanks folks, was stoked to open the paper to see that we had beaten the 2010 vfl premiers at our spiritual home after two weeks of drubbings. I can still see Tarks smiling now. McHale must have smiled only briefly from the sky.

A ruckman come defender. Jumps really well and is super competitive. Quite impressive.

Well I get this years Players. Click on 2011 VFL Players

[BBHS]

Is Justin Crow playing VFL? I thought I saw him as a runner for the Dons or am I confused?

I know Dave, you go in via the drop down menu to "2011 VFL Players"... but if you just click on VFL, there is a link to "Players". Why isn't that the current players instead of an outdated list. Not everyone spends as much time wading through the site and therefore is not as familiar with it as you. The click on "VFL" is the obvious entry point, "Players" should therefore link to the current squad. And what about pics of the 2011 squad, can't we afford to get some pics taken.

Now retired I think. Was our runner last year.

We should get up over the Cats in two weeks. I believe its the televised game starting at 1:00.

Barham Vs Couch!!

Agree with every word just about but as we talked about while watching the game together, you failed to mention the most important thing, that the umpiring skills at this level are bloody shocking! I do realise that they are only "seconds" umpires and obviously not up to AFL standard as yet but if these are the guys pushing for senior umpire selection in a few, God help us!! Some of their pathetic decision defied all logic and common sense and showed why it should be bloody compulsory for umpires to have played the game at least at some level to understand the intentions of the players or what was actually happening out on the ground. Any umpire supervisor who was at Vic Park on Saturday who takes the job seriously should throw the bloody rule book at these pitiful excuses for VFL level umpires.

Barham Vs Couch!!

Unfortunately, the TV game on that day is the "blockbuster" between Frankston and the Bullants. The reinging wooden spooners vs the two-time grand finallists. Should be a close game, like Saturday's Casey vs Frankston "thriller".

yep, now a runner for the bombers.

5. The yank needs more games and may really struggle to get on our list in 2012

"50. Shae McNamara (13k, 8h, 7m, 1t): Played really well. Really happy with Shae."

What do others think of Shae's game?
