Is VDM running with anyone?

No more excuses for him - must do more

Joel Freijah 11 disposals - doing well.

14 scoring shots to 5.
The best first half v them there in my memory.
Not over the line yet, really tense.

Winning tonight means everything for us. We've got to hold on or, even better, go on with it.

Yes. They mentioned at the start of the game. No idea which wanker it was though.

But Buku also only has the same amount. I'm not sure possessions is the only KPI. I seem to recall seeing VDM either alongside pressuring or running two ways ins loads of pieces of play. It seems more and more that there are role players whose worth isn't necessarily fairly judged by direct disposals.

I was surprised he has had so few possessions, he seemed in so much that was positive in general play in terms of pressure, intent, concentration and work rate.

A woofer said Bramble is a good old fashioned player.
The conditions are old fashioned and sub standard but our men are fierce.

So many punchable heads down there including Cameron and Rohan

Their coach leads from the front in that regard

Bramble better watch himself... he's raising the bar on his performances. If he keeps this up, he's going to bloody find himself being called a good footballer soon. If he's not careful.

Clean and composed.

Bont's been 'only' good so his second half will be crucial.
Cats will adjust next quarter so we have to be 'on'

Sam Darcy as a FS is a bigger gift to us than Marra as an NGA. He's a freak and has no right to be playing anywhere near as well as he has at his age, at his height, with the footy he's missed.

Been one of our best. His ball handling and use in the conditions is a real standout

It?s Geel at Geel. We aren?t getting the reward on goal as we deserve. Should be 30+ up.
I can see Geel kicking first 2 goals of 3rd, and it wouldn?t surprise me to see them hit the front at 3qtr time. And IF they do get in front, then they won?t be getting behind again.

They will come. Just hope we don?t get sluggish/miss tackles etc. and stop those over the head handballs just giving the ball back to them.

Come on man. Stop typing what we are all thinking!

I never really understood the angst.
An absolute free hit on a guy who leaves nothing out on the field. No surprise that he gains composure as he gets more games and the coaches back him in. Seems a pretty important metres gained player for us
