why wasn’t that a free to Young. You can’t tackle from behind the mark

True.

He took a step forward of the mark so it's play on.

Shoutout to Roughy for giving William a few pointers during the game. Not something many players would do for their opponent.

Wonder if he might make a good assistant coach.

He played on. Stupid move by him.

Thought Valdemeer showed a bit in his first game.

I like the style of Laitham Vandermeer. Plenty of dash and a good kick.

Add me to the list. reminds me of Richards with his hunched over running style and the way he looks like he is always accelerating.

Neither Josh or Tom looked like they want to get another shot at the seniors.
Tom has an excuse being out for a long time and I think Bevo's assessment is spot on.
Josh on the other hand is just not working hard enough.

In the space of a month Schache's gone from 'gee, he might just be putting it all together' to 'gee I can't see him making it'.

He's all of 21 years old and it's just his 2nd year in our system so time's on his side, but the recent signs or lack thereof are suddenly all a bit concerning.

I would swap him for Gowers.

The Draw

The Footscray Bulldogs and Box Hill Hawks have played out a thrilling draw at the MCG, this Sunday afternoon.


An early goal from Lukas Webb saw the Dogs take control of the game early, before a powerful Box Hill outfit dominated the scoreboard in the third term. An impressive start to the final quarter looked promising for the ‘Scray, however an inability to capitalise on opportunities proved crucial, ultimately ending in a draw.


Defender Bailey Williams continued to push his case for a senior recall, collecting 31 disposals, nine marks and ten rebound 50’s, while VFL captain Josh Prudden enjoyed his best game of the 2019 season, amassing 21 disposals, three inside 50’s and two marks.


Emerging defender Laitham Vandermeer (22 disposals, seven marks, six inside 50’s) showed impressive signs in his third game for the Club, while Pat Lipinski was dominant in the midfield and forward line, taking nine marks and laying five tackles.


In his first game for the Bulldogs, Kyle Dunkley booted three goals and took two marks, while Tory Dickson also kicked three majors and grabbed an impressive eight marks.


The Footscray Bulldogs will return home to VU Whitten Oval next Saturday afternoon to face the Werribee Tigers at 12pm, before the Western Bulldogs AFL match against Geelong at GMHBA Stadium.

What the hell was he doing playing on him in the first place? Bizarre indeed.

Gowers does my head in but I can't justify rewarding Schache with a recall right now, he hasn't shown nearly enough since being demoted.

Re: Round 6 – 2019 Footscray Bulldogs v Box Hill Hawks

Really like Vandermeer for a kid who has already had two sets backs to be breaking the lines late in the 4th quarter is impressive.

We are good at spotting half back flankers thats for sure!

Maybe young Schache is just homesick?

He took a step forward of the mark so it's play on.

Only if the umpire calls play on. I can’t remember if he did or not. But that’s the rule.

Maybe if he builds up his tank he can become an onballer. Great speed.
