Could Lipinski come in for Stringer looks to be doing well up ground and did well as a forward before his shoulder.

Re: Round 18: Footscray Bulldogs v Essendon

Great to have Tom back playing footy and kicking a couple. Lipinski 32 disopsals good game could debut next Friday night. Will Matty Boyd come in next week maybe Lukas Webb as well.

The difference in level between VFL and AFL must be vast if Webb can get 30 every week for Footscray and battles to get 10 with the big boys.

It depends on the player I guess. And maybe the role?

Young just strolls into the team looking like he's been playing for years (his first couple anyway.) but Webb struggles with the adjustment.

I saw about a half yesterday. Boyd (the big one) looked excellent, took some really strong marks in a variety of situations. Also played predominately up forward, which was very encouraging personally. Roberts was back down...back, so looks like that experiment is over.

Collins did some nice things, but he still lacks some game awareness. He was personally responsible for 2 goals getting out the back by not having the awareness to work back to defence. He looks quicker and his marking has seriously improved though.

So his hands looked good? Even when attacking the ball?

For the most part yes. He still does that thing where he tries to mark the ball as high as possible in the air that looks super uncomfortable and unnatural, but all the tools were there; on the lead, in packs, etc. He should have had another goal too, missed a pretty gettable set shot.

VFL Webby = Very good

AFL Webby = Off the pace and long way to go

Sometimes senior players can struggle a little when playing in the VFL but mostly they are dominant in there.

This is where I'd normally hit the thanks button but instead I'll type thank you
