Hall of Fame Tribute match - Victoria vs Dream Team

Re: Hall of Fame Tribute match - Victoria vs Dream Team

Scarlett for me, although I thought Peter Burgoyne was clearly BOG, but prefer medals being awarded to winners.

I don't think I've ever seen 36 more worthless possesions. All of Burgoyne's work was Sam Power stuff - collect a 20m sideways kick, give a 20m sideways kick. Where was the run?

If you want to give the medal to the player that most influenced the result then Fevola deserved it. I htought he was fantastic.

10 disposals and fed the ball by some grteat play upfiled, to get 5 goals, what a joke giving him the medal.

Re: Hall of Fame Tribute match - Victoria vs Dream Team

Can we please move all you dream team pickers into the apology post as myself and Ted Whitten are disgusted in your disrespect to THE BIG V!
Apart from some posters admitting tipping against the dogs is bad enough but tipping against Teds boys is a sin!

To tell you the truth, it did not excite me, there was no passion and state borders are just that, borders and mean nothing. Half the players picked were a joke and picked on reputation, not form. Sorry, no interest from me, bring on the real stuff, Freo here we come.

6 goals and at least 3 from contested marks from kicks that didn't particularily favour him at all.

No Fev = Vics lose.

Re: Hall of Fame Tribute match - Victoria vs Dream Team

Out of curiosity, is anyone familiar with the guidelines on State of Origin criteria as it relates to individual players?

For instance, Adam Goodes was born in Adelaide but played most of his junior footy in country Vic...so, how exactly is state-to-state eligibility ascertained?

Further to this, is anyone aware of a resource, online or print, which lists players according to their state of origin?...the AFL prospectus is no good on this front.

Cancel that request...appears that info is disclosed via club lists on their respective websites.

I don't mind Peter Burgoyne, but I see a lot of Port and his effectiveness of disposal, and ability to cut sides up with it, isn't close to that of say, Gilbee. A lot of his kicks float of the boot, are ill directed and lack penetration. I'm probably a little harsh on him, but I think he is a bit overrated, and generally not as brilliant as some make him out to be.

FWIW, I think Shaun would be a much more effective 'quarterback'.

Peter Burgoyne is good for your Dream Team (the game) and that's about all. He plays kick to kick (often sideways or with short kicks) with his brother and the Cornes boys, but often has no influence on the outcome of games. He does not take the game on like a McLeod or Gilbee does with quick breaks or pin point kicking to the advantage of his team.

The only people who rated his game on Saturday night were ones who use kicks and handballs stats as justification rather than more important stats like clearances or contested possessions or his perhaps even his influence on the game which was minimal.

Did the Roos take the the Vics song or vice versa?
