last season so Fraser didnt do his homework very well in terms of stopping him this game.
Agree that Williamson and Stocker are the two who showed the most, Kennedy still doesnt look match fit, attacks the footy ok but isnt overly mobile for a mid and looks like he needs a season or two with Jack Russell to get some wheels.
Yeah Hanson looked a natural footballer. Exactly the type we don't seem to go for much.
SOS has proven himself an excellent judge of the U18 kids but pretty rubbish on the VFL / mature aged players. Quite a few Smedts / Palmer / Lang / etc. types and not many wins.
Anyway - he picked Williamson with pick 60 and if I had my pick of 1 player on the ground to play in the 1s next week it would be him. Then Stocker - who might end up costing us nothing. So no complaints.

Yes, he hasn't had much continuity with injuries, form etc., but he hasn't shown much with the little opportunity he's been given. I wonder whether guys like him and Fasolo had a certain sense of entitlement, thinking they'd be a walk up start in the best 18 at a bottom club like us, and whether they feel slighted as a result of playing in the magoos ?

So disappointing to see so many players doing so little. Neither of the ruckmen. Not happy.
Re: VFL 2019 Rd 4: Northern Blues vs. Werribee - PaulP - 04-27-2019
Lang played 11 games last season, and given how bad the team was, it's hard for anyone to look good. Hopefully he comes good later on.

Anderson, Keppel and MaCreadie are very lucky to be in the best......I thought the kid Wheeler was better than all of them.

Williamson set the afternoon off by giving away a double goal due to undisciplined actions and it went downhill from there. Hard to assess Stocker as he had no support or structure around him. However he just does things that make you think that, in better company, he could do the job....a bit like Williamson when he was given his first chance. Young Finbar and Ben Silvagni are both victims of no development teams and are there purely for experience. Fasolo and Lang are not going to make it but Kennedy, with less attention in the main team, will be ok.
(All based on a full viewing at Vic Park and half a game today)
I don't mind that from Willo. Yes, it is undisciplined and unacceptable but it tells me that he is playing with passion. He now needs to harness that passion and focus on getting the pill and stopping his opponent. Once is enough though and I will be disappointed if he does anything similar in future.

Sounds like we did well just to have "best players"...lol.
Good sign that Stocker was our best.

Beef and lobster burger may well be a problem.
The "cheeky shiraz" however would do no harm DJC.

Likewise. He and Stocker showed passion and some mongrel. We like that and it only needs be channeled more productively. I strongly suspect Willo got the umpire (the one who pinged him for the 50) offside and was penalised for a couple of 50/50s after that.
