Round 21 - Footscray Bulldogs v Carlton • Sunday 17 August 2025 • 12:05 PM

It’s a real shame I don’t think we should waste young kids VFL development to sit out games as emg. This is the role you use guys like Scott, Poulter etc for IMO, proper depth who don’t need the game time

If someone is a late out and Hynes gets a game and makes a difference its worth it. Don't want a player like Poulter who many complain about when they get a game in the ones getting too much luck and flubbing it in a must win game.

Well that was a hiding , I have no idea how Fantasia has stayed on an AFL list for so long . Everyone was partying that qtr , Sellwood is coming along real nice but I think Walker needs more time .
With Arty jones I’m wondering if he would be better in the firsts , better delivery and some players just need that and really get the chance , his first game this year before he got injured was electric .

[ledge]

Party time now. How much do we need to win by to overtake Box Hill?

I don’t think it matters does it ?
1st or 2nd same same .

Arty and Treloar terrific. Good to have selection conundrums at pointy end.

Poulter 5 goals

Nice to finish on top.

% shows we are on top

[josie]

Gee Scott is a decent player. Pity injuries have likely ruined his chances with us. Fun to win by a lot but not great for testing those on fringes of senior selection.

[Bornadog]

Walker playing forward and kicks a goal

Nice to finish on top.

% shows we are on top

I’ve got our % at 143.9 right now. Box Hill are only 7 points up atm.

Commentator said they will need to go on and win by about 50 if it stays at this margin.

Edit: Poulter kicks #6 to push it out to 144.5

[Bornadog]

Poulter 6 goals

[Bornadog]

Kennedy gets a goal

They’d just be sub though, it’s pretty low risk

FULL TIME

FB: 21.20 146

Box Hill have more problems winning let alone percentage .

If the emergency becomes the sub and someone is injured early in the 1st qtr they come on and play nearly an entire game. You want to risk playing finals with a player of Poulter's calibre?
A reminder re your recent take on Poulter:

QUOTE=doggies ftw;n1339162]Poulter and VDM just have to go, Poulter is a crab, offers zero. Straight swap for Davo is easy. He’s a pretty boy footballer, put him on the ground in an 80 pt win he’ll contribute. Is there a world in which an afl team wins a hard fought final with Poulter on the ground? Nup."
