Quite right, this is a PG rated board. Fair point.

How about we get Dave started on the umpires then?

Wasn't Buckley named in the official best 6 on ground?

Just going purely off disposals and the bests, sounds like Rounds, Seedsman, Ugle, Yagmoor (first year I realise, but he was good in the NAB cup and there is a spot in the senior side for him if he plays well enough) and co didn't put their best foot forward. Disappointing. A few of those blokes, Rounds especially, should just be tearing shreds off the VFL by now and instead they can't even get 15 disposals in a game.

No better time for a few of those guys to stand, a dominant performance today would've scored you a selection in the seniors next week.

With the exception of Young, it seems the bulk of the load was carried by the senior players (Brown, Didak) and VFL listed players. Not good enough.

No worries mate, but MagpieBat did most of the work anyway and I only helped him when his computer crashed briefly.

Dawes kicked 5 a couple of times in 2010.

Macaffer kicked 8 at VISY park in 2009.

Thanks to MagpieBat and Jeza for keeping us up to date.

For the interstaters like me its hard to get ay info on the VFL.

The VFL discussion is a lot better than the general discussion on Nicks which is fast being taken over by three or four who spend their whole lives just trolling for a fight

Think Better,ABC now replay the VFL early Thurs morning I think,if you were not aware.

Wednesdays at 3am. We have the TV game this Saturday (at the same time as the seniors match vs Port), as well as on internet radio, so it will be better for the interstate supporters this week...

That's great - I must say I haven't even bothered to look for late night replays. The recorder will be set

Looking forward to seeing how Ceglar is going - I really liked his approach in the NAB game in Adelaide

I hope the coaches see how they stuffed up last week dropping big Matty. The guy can hold down FF. Put the crumbers around him and not go to tall in the forward line.

Team balance seems to go out the window these days with VFL teams who have AFL listed players needing a run. The answer to me is dropping AFL players back to local level, give them a reality check. Some strong competitions out there and from what I see many would struggle with the close checking at local level.

The ruckman from Lower Plenty Flynn is a kid worth keeping an eye on. Love the way he plays, young but keen to learn.

I reckon BJ is ready to go back up into the seniors, Didak and Brown need more time (although Nate may be rested this week and be promoted for ANZAC Day).

Heard on BigFooty the Josh Thomas was sighted Friday on the training track, but on crutches later that night. Precautionary or has he had ANOTHER setback?
