Could see him becoming a star training in an elite AFL Club like The Bulldogs

Well his stock certainly raised itself today. His draft combine results will be interesting too.

I hope they are crap and then we pounce.

Good game from Long but he was assisted by an absolutely dominant display from the Footscray midfield.

Definitely has some tricks - he's clean, quick, knows where the goals are - and what was looking like a late round draft pick is rapidly rising. Interested to see how he tests at the combine.

For the second time in three years, the Footscray Bulldogs will play-off in the Peter Jackson VFL Grand Final after a 119-point demolition of Collingwood on Saturday afternoon.

In front of the packed terraces of North Port Oval, Footscray turned on a devastating performance to storm into the season decider on the back of a 10-goal final term.

Ben Long was the star in front of goal kicking six majors for the match, five of which in the second half.

Mitch Honeychurch collected 28 disposals for the match, and along with Lukas Webb were the driving forces through the middle.

Captain Jordan Russell displayed the form that earned him VFL Team of the Year selection, providing plenty of run and drive off half-back, and was supported well by Brad Lynch.

The Bulldogs led at every change, and looked to have the game out of Collingwood’s reach by the 26 minute mark of the second quarter, after kicking six unanswered goals to start the term, and stretch the lead to 58-points.

However, Collingwood showed some fight to kick the last three goals of the opening half, and then kick the opening goal of the second half to narrow the gap to 37-points.

With momentum with the Magpies, and the intensity rising around the football, it was Mitch Honeychurch who steadied with the first of his two goals for the day, stemming the Magpie tide, and setting his side on a six to two goal run and a comfortable 10-goal lead at the final change.

What followed, no one expected, as Collingwood capitulated to concede 10 goals in the final term, as the Bulldogs doubled their advantage in the final term.

Seven Bulldogs finished with multiple goals, while 16 of the 23 players that took the field finished with a major next to their name.

The Bulldogs will now await the result of Sunday’s first preliminary final, between minor premiers Casey Scorpions and reigning premiers Williamstown, to discover their opponent

The 2016 Peter Jackson VFL Grand Final will be contested next Sunday 25 September at Etihad Stadium, with the first bounce at 3:00pm.

Webby with 30 and 3 goals. Has a big year ahead of him in 2017, along with Dale and Williams.

Our challenge is keeping them all, we can't fit 30+ AFL quality players into the 22 each week. If we can keep them together for as long as possible, good things will happen.

Please tell me someone has the video of players doing a dance in the change rooms. I loved that!

Roarke Smith is another who along with Williams and Webb will eventually take over from Morris Murph and Matthew Boyd. We are in a very good place for depth of talent at the moment.

Webb seems to be very clearly being developed as a midfielder. Hence why we played him there in the VFL even when we were totally depeted for back flankers.

Re: Preliminary Final Vs Collingwood 2016

Lukas Webb was great. That contested mark he took was just about the highlight of the day, one on one.

Reckon Footscray will pants the plodders from Casey.
