VFL Rd: 3 Northern Blues vs. Sandringham

[ElwoodBlues1]

Brad Walsh...20 possies, 2 goals is a player I would be looking to promote as a small forward/rover.....goes hard does Walsh and does the team things.
Graham and Holman also appear to be maturing and should be looked at to be playing senior footy sooner than later.
Holman has been good in the past few games and can play a few roles...
Its time to be playing kids and working on who is going and who is staying for the future...

Nothing to get exited about there!

Wood was 2nd ruck Friday night, he kicked 2 goals!

They can't play Levi, he is ripping the heart out of the side with every miss, soon Jones will follow suit and White might return or Foster could get a run.

He did, but Casboult would be alot better prospect than Warnock as a 2nd ruck. Who would you prefer? The 2 key forwards are there to kick goals. Besides, Casboult takes more marks than both put together.

With Hendo with a hammy, Foster having a good game I'd bring in him in, if Hendo doesn't come up, with Watson and Casboult dropping Jones and Warnock. Be a good week to do it.

St Kilda's reserves...

Guys, we saw their seniors last week.  They are crap, and our team had more afl talent in it than Sandringham.

There is nothing indicating that these guys will do well at afl level, but Graham has played well the last couple so should come up.

Frankly, I'd be playing anyone that had a crack in front of half our senior side.

Has this been mentioned already ? Apparently a hamstring issue with menz

That where you get elevated from, your reserves versus the opposition reserves. Using that theory no players in the VFL would ever get elevated. That's how near all VFL games are. St.Kilda's not exactly going to have Reiwoldt play for Sandringham.

He might play in the VFL next week, but there is no way he'll get promoted. He needs to be fit.

Graham has to get the call up surely?

I think you misunderstood something.

St Kilda in particular would have weaker reserves.

Geelong or box hill on the other hand have strong teams, always have and bar something extraordinary occurring always will.  Ditto Port Melbourne.
