VFL 2023 Rd 3 Carlton vs North Melbourne at Arden St - crashlander - 04-01-2023
This game is also set for Good Friday, at 12:30.
The 2's will need to do a lot better to be competitive. Yesterday's performance was sub-par, to say the least.
However, we might have a player or two back from injury.
The long term forecast is for wet weather.

Team has not been announced yet, but it will have 3 fewer AFL guys. It will be raining, so I hope we show more heart than last week.

It seems our VFL team is like some kind of incubator, a testing ground, a football experiment; we are not really a side. And this is often how we play. There are a few players that show some 'heart' and seem to want to play for the jumper, but most are just happy to turn up.
When you think about it, the players that are playing in the 2nd's are exactly that - seconds players. I wonder if that contributes to our poor showing, the demotivated, poor form players litter the team, and only those that have real drive actually show enough to succeed. It may be a reason there is such a difference in other sides, perhaps they build a culture that we simply have not.

Winning has to take a second place to that Imho......cant remember too many successful VFL teams over the journey other than when David Teague was coaching and we had a couple of good seasons.

Yes, we seem to prefer youngsters with potential ahead of seasoned journeymen. That may cost us games but we could unearth a player or two.
Of course, Luke Power won’t be satisfied with mediocre performances but he’s not a miracle worker.

Binns has shown plenty. Including a goal from the boundary. Dow & Kemp stand out as you'd expect. Fogarty's pressure is consistent. Akui doesn't seem familiar with the game aside flying for a mark. Hope he gets the hang of it soon.

The boys are doing OK in wet, slippery conditions and we're up by 20 points at half time: 5.8.38 to 2.6.18.
Most of the AFL listed players are contributing and I'd have Plowman as BoG to half time. Parks is doing well and seems a lot more composed than he was in his AFL games.
Re: VFL 2023 Rd 3 Carlton vs North Melbourne at Arden St - Baggers - 04-07-2023
Gee the Kangabies are going in hard and trying to ruffle our boys. But, to no avail. Hard to believe this is the same VFL side as last week... 55pts up nearing 3/4 time. Great spread of contributors.

3/4 time. Up by 55 pts.

It's good to see Brodie Kemp clunking his marks.
