[Chuck17]

I thought this vfl side might have made the top 4. Very poor effort

Who Needs to pAy the price for this disgrace?

[bojangles17]

I think tim Clark's number might be up, he s a runner not a damned coach. His results tell the story,

It's probably our culture

Could save money by running his own messages out to the players!

FFs 30 years of this crap culture

[Diocletian]

Bring back Andrew Collins & the Burgers.

At least it would have been an exciting 100 point flogging then!

We'd be still winless without spliting from Coburg  .

Ah, very good.

Most people expected us to be poo in the first season or two. Though it hasn't seemed to be a problem for Footscray.

It comes down a lot to the standard of our VFL-listed players. We don't have a decent local league to draw them from.

Still reckon we should've at least rookied Willie Wheeler when he was with Coburg. Dylan Murphy was stiff too. Also liked that fullback we had...what was his name.....Fahey? Would've at least been better than the likes of Hicks, Maric & Silvestor

[TigerLand]

Would much prefer an Under 25 competetion for AFL reserves and bring them back to playing curtain raisers.

Any over 25 player who isn't in best 22 is given to a VFL affiliate club.

Have AFL kids vs AFL kids. This development is pointless.

Not sure he d make much difference,

Rolled up to see the game.
I thought the disease that's infected the ones is there to see in the seconds.There was fumbling on a grand scale,there was kicking to Mr nobody,there was a lack of hard running,there was unaccountable football.....sound familiar?
Of the boys on the park
I thought Donut was clearly our best..Ran hard ,contested hard,and gave it to the opposition by words and effort.
Helbig battled admirably all day
Ohanlon and Elton got into it late but the fat lady had already sung her song by then
Vickery..if I had to rate him I would give him 2 out 10.one for turning up and one for the steal he did late in the 3rd.
lennon very good and polished skills .has a football brain this kid...but also faded in the second half
Kingy...didn't notice him much at all
Batch had plenty of the ball ,but just blazed away at times
Miles....burrows in and gets plenty of the ball,but kicking seems a bit ify
the worrying part for me was foley.Played the first quarter but wasn't seen again...Don't know if he was injured or what
almost forgot
Mcbean kicked a few but meh
darou oh so freaken slow

Banfield?  hmmmm obviously I was at a different game. Another example of people getting seduced by possessions

Thought Batchelor was very good

Foley came off in the 2nd qtr and didn't return. Tight calf I believe, precautionary.

Lennon was ok, he's a very good kick but really needs to build his tank to enable him to give greater. 2nd efforts

Think Mr OE makes a very good point regarding our VFL listed players the gap between their skill level and our young players is staggering at times. I lost count of the number of times a VFL listed bloke would be clear under no pressure and they turned it over kick straight to the opposition. They end up dragging down the skill level across the ground IMHO.

Player I was most disappointed in was Ben Darrou, his 2nd qtr was fantastic but after that he dropped away dramatically. Have to question his fitness levels he certainly ran out of "puff". He also was responsible for the worst , softest spoil I have ever seen and do I mean ever seen.  One on one (he had the back position) has a teammate a metre in front all he had to was hit to his teammate, he literally tapped it with his fist to the get of his opponent. It looked terrible, really terrible

Can also report I sighted Aaron Davey today he was at the game decked out in his RFC gear (hoodie, tracky pants etc) watching with his kids
