Round 17 2025 - VFL Premiership Season Brisbane Lions v Footscray Bulldogs• Saturday 19 July 2025 • 12:35 PM

[Smads57]

It's time for Croft to 'come good' at this level - he has now strung a few VFL games together and needs to show us what his best can be. Four possessions that qtr, a couple of marks and a goal is a good start.

Champagne football by the lads that quarter

Yep, he's just kicked his 2nd goal and needs to go on with it.

[Jeanette54]

Khamis is really a class above the opposition, 3 goals to half way through the 2nd quarter, and roaming the forward line at will.

[kickit2Koly]

The umpiring at this level is a disgrace. It makes the AFL umpiring look good by comparison

[kruder]

The boys have been crazy efficient. It would be nice to see Busslinger take more intercept marks, continues to drop them.

[doggies ftw]

Why is Buku not in the senior side? He’s the perfect utility who’s a genuinely good forward and literally the perfect support player for Darcy & Naughty. Can’t even say he wasn’t playing his role when he kicked about 13 goals in 6 or so games.

[HOSE B ROMERO]

Kane the commentator has no idea.

[Smads57]

HT Dogs 13.5 to Lions 6.2 - Lions got a run of four goals before Dogs pegged a couple back. Surprisingly Coffield with most possessions - 15 and 7 marks. Buss with 14. Hynes and Selwood with 13 apiece (Hynes also a goal)

Selwood has the endeavour the speed can mark it but yeah can his kicking hold up at AFL level?

Coffield and Busslinger have been average IMO they often get a lot of disposals but they don't do enough with it and I'd like both to take more intercept marks.

Have to agree - Duryea having a bit of a 'dirty' game also.

An interesting stat is Brisbane having 3 more inside 50s than the Dogs...

[Smads57]

Goal apiece to start third term as Buku posts his 4th.

[doggies ftw]

People judge Buss so harshly, he’s clearly been one of our best. Half of his touches have been intercepts directly off the opposition, decent with the footy, hasn’t been beaten defensively really. I agree I’d like to see him take more contested marks it’s the main part of his game that needs to improve. Not sure what people expect from him really

Yeah efficiency is king.

What do you think of Selwood Smads? He has something to work with.

I'm also wondering if CCP could play as a lock down defender at AFL level, I know its a little crazy but I'd love to give it a try at VFL.

[Smads57]

Croft adds his third goal for the game - out to 53 points
