VFL Rd 14: Northern Blues vs North Ballarat at Ballarat - crashlander - 07-20-2017
If we cannot do something about our midfield in the next few weeks, this could be our last win for the season. The Roosters haven't won a game yet, but they have been playing better and getting closer. We, on the other hand, are going backwards because of our growing injuries problems.
I would NOT be counting this as a certain win, as the Roosters have a good record against us.
Who is left fit to play is the question!

17 Carlton players are named but only 12 AT BEST will play. 4 will be interchange for the seniors while 1 emergency will be held over. Billie Smedts has had 2 weeks 'rest' as he has been the emergency.
Of the guys named, only Thomas and Macreadie are certain to play seniors.
I would have dropped LeBois to the Development side: he needs to develop physically and mentally to cope with senior footy. At the moment he isn't coping with VFL footy, averaging 5 possessions and less than a goal per week.
One interesting thing is the naming of Ethan Penrith. I haven't seen him play yet, but he is a young aboriginal kid with extreme pace. We have access to him as a zone selection, which means that we can get him if we want him under the same rules as a F/S selection, or as a rookie, like an International Rookie.

No Carlton listed players named. A big ask for an undermanned side, still without a proper ruckman.

Kerr is having a season-ending hip operation.

I read to today the VFL Development comp is being scapped.

Is it proposed or finalised, I now the AFL was listening to cases for both sides of the argument?
I heard they may in fact expand or remodel the TAC / Unders as an alternative with tighter guidelines about who can play in it. I think it is ridiculous you get some teams playing 25 year old AFL capable ruckmen, KPDs and KPFs playing a development league!
At the moment the preferred destination for VFL seniors not selected for the 1s is the VAFA Premier Divisions, the VAFA is loaded with experienced AFL coaches.

Re: VFL Rd 14: Northern Blues vs North Ballarat at Ballarat - crashlander - 07-22-2017
A truly insane decision. Worse than the scrapping of the reserves and the creation of the present VFL, and that had problems that took years to manage.
