Lol. Buku isn't at VFL level, htf does he get senior games.

Bit harsh Chef. Gowers is a seasoned player and Buks had a horror day. I think he's done well generally when at the top level.

Re: VFL Round 9, Footscray v Port Melbourne - May 25 - 2024

Croft looks like a very good prospect.

I liked Poulter, Buss, Lobb, smith & McNeil.

If it was any other side I?d want Buss to debut next week.

Nearly day for Jones. Thought he covered the ground very well. Got burnt a few times when he had space.

Bendendo is starting to get some confidence.

Khamis was poor defensively. Cleary made a number of costly mistakes.

All and all a reasonable win. We are undermanned and borough had plenty of afl experience on the field.

Based on todays game the ins should be:

Poulter, Lobb & McNeil.

If I?m right I reckon this will be McNeil a final chance to make it or his papers may be stamped.

I was impressed with Poulters running got deep forward and back when needed. Lobb a so so game and McNeil a bit of a mixed bag.
Busslinger and Bedendo had there moments and I agree Cleary got a lot of it but made a couple of basic errors. No big deal
Enjoyed reading your summary.

I can’t see Buss playing next week our backline is as solid as it ever has been.
I see maybe Poulter, Lobb and Baker coming in, I think we need as much experience as we can get against the pies.
With Garcia in and Daniel playing I don’t think we can get Mc Neil in as a third small.

Re: VFL Round 9, Footscray v Port Melbourne - May 25 - 2024

Even though Cleary made a couple of mistakes, I thought he was very good today

Don't care how well McNeil plays.

Should never play senior footy again.

Yeah not for me, he's looked terrible at the top level and I hope he never gets picked again. Good athlete, but has no football brain and gets found out even at VFL level.

Thanks for the summary. Who appeared to have more influence on the game. Lobb or Bedendo?

I would say Lobb as he was able to win some important hit outs in the end of the game and some big marks. I must say I was pretty impressed with number 54 Billy Crofts really stood up (club debut). He has some great tackles and smothers that lead to some of our goals in the last quarter.

Omg we don’t want a Crofts and a Croft playing in the AFL that’s just too hard for the commentators. Any idea where he is from ?

Re: VFL Round 9, Footscray v Port Melbourne - May 25 - 2024

Bianco was very good aswell. He seems like a very neat player. Looks a very good kick. Not sure he has great speed though.

Wouldn?t surprise me if he gets picked up in msd and plays next week.

Haha very good point!! So Billy Crofts used to play in Geelongs VFL side the last two years and swapped to the Bulldogs colours this year. Was very impressed with his efforts.

Re: VFL Round 9, Footscray v Port Melbourne - May 25 - 2024

Thoughts on today.
Love the way smith is building in the ruck.
Croft is going to be a star. Most likely CHB. Real Darcy Moore about him.
Lobb was solid. Motivation looks tested.
Cliz a few errors but other than that solid.
Buss coming on in leaps and bounds. Debut soon.
Poults another solid game
McNeil competed well got two goals but his pressure and defensive acts were his best of season.
Baker just and like Lobb. Motivation is a factor.
Arty I?ll say again isn?t a fwd his confidence is low and he gets lost. I?m flabbergasted people call for him to play seniors at the moment.
Spoke to the official Clarke was ruled out with illness. He trained before the game with Baz and Flea. Apparently Baz flying. Could he??

Great news on Croft and the Buzz.

How good was the opposition in the ruck for Smith?
