VFL Round 3 NBs vs Collingwood

[Professer E]

That's inner Melbourne,  polluted by man bag toting,  scraggy beard wearing,  pot gutted hipster spankers.  What's the world coming to win you can't get a can of green death and a pie at the footy but you can a vegan chicken biryani and a micro brewery boutique cider.

No wonder the VFL's dead,  kill tradition for "progress".

One for the ages.

Classic. Gold.  ) )

One food outlet..... and no pies!!! High end burgers, bratwurst sausage and other fancy fare, but not a pie in sight.

Definitely NSB (not suitable for Baggers)

) ) ) tragic news, glad I didn't go though it would have been good to see the gutsy win and have a chin wag with RR, who probably saw there were no pies and thought to himself, 'Well, bugger all chance Baggers will turn up today!! .

I looked around but gave up after checking out the food vendor.

Kennedy - to suggest Graham is a better player is pure stupidity. Just my opinion and I have yet to see anything to give me any cause to form another one. Kennedy's pace and performance is reminiscent of Brock McLean when he first joined us and Brock worked his butt off to eventually became a useful player so I haven't given up hope that Kennedy will too. Probably suffers from expectations that he has come nowhere near to realizing.

Stocker - 19yo in his second outing with the big boys....again, slack needed!  Of course - but having a look at Stocker was one of the main reasons I went along and my expectations were not met.

RR, don't take fly too personally.

He won't really allow a negative opinion.

Stocker will be ok, but we need to finish close to adelaide on the ladder to even out expectations.

The fact that adelaide did that trade suggests the talent at last years draft for this pick was fairly slim and that they'd get the player they wanted at a later pick anyway, and that they thought they could improve this years draft position significantly enough to make the exercise worthwhile.

I've a work associate who is a Filth tragic, he seemed quite impressed by Kennedy. He said he looked rusty but for a first up hitout after injury he got plenty of football and was probably directly responsible for three 2nd half goals that helped win us the game. He said Kennedy hit up two of our forwards in the second half with serious foot passes, I'm assuming Fisher, Palmer or Kerr.

He also said he cannot understand why we have given Fasolo a run ahead of a spot for Fisher, but he may mean Palmer!

Again, Kennedy has not yet had an injury free run at it with us.....

He's just 22 and played 30 odd games, only 12 with us....

I'm sure RR can stand up for himself - and I'm more than happy for players to be criticised.
