VFL Rd: 3 Northern Blues vs. Sandringham
#71
@EB

I am very excited about Walsh. Hard at it leader in the Nathan Jones mould. Couldn't build a side around him but someone who will put in week in week out.

Reckon Tom Fields is a good player as well.

Excuse me for sounding a bit vague carrots... "Cracking preseason" how many goals does that equate to ?
I mean, just so I know for future reference.

Have an opinion bu all means... But spare us the fabrication to support your agenda.
Let’s go BIG !

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.

In fact, Sandringham is a highly rated team and it was quite an upset for the NBs to come away with a win. 

As you say, anyone who had a crack in the VFL should be considered for to play against Brisbane.

Almighty hanger from NB player Kieran McGuinness way deep in defence. Clean hands, stood on a big fellas shoulders, you'd go a long way to see a better mark than that. If only we had a defenders who backed themselves like that.

Cracking preseason in the sense that he was as fit as he'd ever been mate. Last time I checked thats what having a cracking preseason meant. Question my opinion by all means but at least make sure you know what you're talking about. Cheers.
Ignorance is bliss.

ONWARDS AND UPWARDS!

Sounds like it was very determined and gritty performance by the NBs which is great to read. A ray of hope in an otherwise dark week.

Even the club website is pumping up VFL results, really?

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.

Footscray won the VFL last year and their team was bottom 4. I think it all comes down to the stage of development your list is in. Sandringham will be better before Norther Blues are because they'll have a lot of talented kids coming through that St Kilda have recruited by stocking up on high draft picks. We'll have nothing because our recruitment is the new laughing stock of the AFL.

Sure, if you wish, but last year they finished 9th, and currently they are sitting 12th (although its only 3 weeks in).

We narrowly won, and the AFL team are currently filled with most of their AFL listed talent.

Lets not get too excited.
