Only saw the 2nd half but impressed with Busslinger. He seems to be developing nicely.

On another note, are we getting Finn Macrae next year.
Classic play well against Bulldogs audition.

Sam Darcy just grabbed Collingwood by the throat and choked the life out of them. He was fantastic!

It was disappointing to fall away mid game. We were sloppy with ball in hand while they ran, carried and hit targets. It was an arm wrestle in the last and Darcy's heroics got us over the line.

On face value we were well represented by our listed players. Cleary looked really good off half back, looked composed and made good decisions. Buss played his best game, still a little off with setting up transition, didn't notice that in 2nd half though. He's a chance to debut at some stage this season if he keeps that up. Buku solid up forward again, caused problems for defence and worried their defence most times it was around him. The LTI returnees looked OK, rusty of course but still promising if we can keep them healthy. Gallagher and Bedendo I'd like to see get some AFL time, both look composed at this level. There was a VFL listed player who I really thought was great but can't remember his name. Had a number in the 50s.

The player in the 50s is probably Chatfield, former NGA kid with us who has been developing really well.

How long can they keep Darcy out of the seniors ?
I’m thinking Busslinger will get a game shortly too.

Chatfield looks capable in all the games i've seen this year. Good overhead and smart.

I can't wait to see Gallagher develop we don't have many on the list with his running attributes, I'd be very surprised if he doesn't debut next year.

Need him to chase down those Collingwood running players

He has been thrown around everywhere in the VFL this year, he's predominantly a forward but he has also played a lot of midfield minutes and even been thrown back as well. He's certainly good enough to be on an AFL list.

Darcy has funny little start to his run up but if it's working for him keep it up

Re: Round 16 Footscray Bulldogs v Collingwood Friday 7 July 2023 ? 3:05 PM

How long has he had it for I wonder. To the guys who saw his comeback game with a handful of behinds, was this thing present. Or has he created it to get accurate?
