We all know where the AFL side is sitting and how we are tracking for a crack at the AFL premiership, but (particularly because I'm overseas so VFL news is hard to come by) I would be very interested in how people view Footscray's flag chances.
Who are our main threats? I see that Box Hill, Willy and Sandringham are the three sides above us. Early in the season we convincingly lost to both Box Hill and Willy, but more recently have had a close loss to Sandy and a big win over Willy. Are Box Hill a stand out first-place, or is it more even than that?
How will the AFL side moving deep into finals affect the performance of the VFL side? I see it being a positive, as similar to Box Hill last year, we will be allowed to play otherwise ineligible players for Footscray so long as the AFL side remains in contention. On the downside, I would imagine that our constant rotating of players means that a few of our young pups will actually be ineligible, although I forget the official rules (eg has Bailey Dale played too many AFL games to qualify?)
Personally, I see our tall defenders being the weakness at Footscray. I would be surprised if any of Roberts, Talia or Hamling are eligible given their AFL experience this year, leaving only Jordan Russell to steady the ship. Do other teams have the capability to expose us on this front?
Looking forward to hearing the thoughts of those who get to see more of the comp. Wouldn't it be amazing if we did the AFL/VFL double? #daretodream
