FINALS: Footscray v Essendon - Semi Final 2015

As do I Rocco. Shame they couldn't go any further. I could see him lighting it up in a VFL GF like he did last year in the U18's. Oh well I'll guess he'll have to light it up AFL GF day. ☺

Haha yep. I tell you what, if we win this week... I would strongly consider him in a sub role for our semi-final.

McLean has looked dangerous all day. Great effort first up coming back from injury. He'll be a very good AFL player in time.

Footscray need to prune the list. There's quite a few that are either passed it or not up to the level IMO, whilst the likes of A Cordy, Fuller, Pearce and Darley should be nowhere near our VFL side next year.

Every time I've seen Kelly play he's been terrible, no idea what Bevo saw in him. I'd hope we move him on.

Boyd has been OK with no supply, Hrovat and Campbell bitterly disappointing. Webb looks tired and has for a few weeks.

Well we did okay when you look at how many players moved up. We do need a look at our footscray list more than our AFL list if that makes sense.

Fuller would struggle to get a game in GFL. I don't think I've ever seen a player drafted look this far out of his depth even at VFL level.

I was really hoping to see Hrovat do some good things today, and whilst he's still young he's dropped a fair way back in the pecking order this year. I posted it a few months ago, but I think he's a bloke we look to trade out to upgrade our second round pick to a top 20 pick (if we can).

What a terrible four quarter performance. You'd have to go a long way to see more fumbles, simple turnovers, and playing on straight into an opponent in one game.

Mclean about the only player who showed anything.

Anyone left over for the AFL?

Went along
Talia/ step behind his opponent and out bustled
Cordy/ the usual, hands to it but doesn't take enough
Campbell/ should have had a few free kicks in the ruck contest, but mobility an issue
Goodes/ gone at seasons end
Webb/ looked tired, and went of late with injury
Boyd/ awful delivery all day, but he needs to work on his agility and strength in the marking contest.
McLean / highlight of the game, looks a really good player in the offering .
Hrovat/ once again decision making was off at times, but thought he was okay
Fuller/ atrocious
Darley / ordinary, and will be lucky to be on the list
Pierce / looked slow and injured, and no effect
Very disappointing end to the season

Had a terrific stretch of about 4 - 5 games. Could have been considered an elevation at that point. Not sure weather we retain or not?

From TV looked like this as well. Apart from McLean I really struggled to find a good player from our listed players.

Only saw bits and pieces, but noticed Talia was moved forward in the last quarter (as we was getting a bath down back from reports).

He took a few marks and his leading patterns seem ok. I think it's worth trying him up there more often.

Thought he did ok up forward against Gold Coast too

Those best players are a worry. not sure what Ayce did to get a mention, as it was probably the worst game I have seen from him at that level.
