First Crack showed Rankine going into the middle and stood on Cripps. Crows won the ball, Rankine pushed forward and got away from our captain who was right on his tail but too slow to stop him.

Next time Hewett picked him up but then just let Rankine go by himself inside 50.




I saw stuff live that made me think the game review will be hard to watch for some players this week.

It wasn't long ago we had running machine in the 2s who's form their never translated or transferred to the 1s. All he ended up being was a whipping  boy. From what I have seen of Binns, albeit limited, he is miles off and will end up another whipping boy when he goes missing. In my view, he doesnt replace Cottrell on present form IMO. He doesnt replace Acres on wing. Does he warrant a game ahead of Ollie H on a wing maybe? I dont think so but interested to hear thoughts.

Fair points GTC...agree on Young, id be picking Binns based more on last seasons form and previous games this season rather than today where he was ok in the 1st half but quiet after that.
Moir is one who I think will play better in the seniors than the VFL but he looks injured, I wouldnt pick Cowan on form and it would only be on potential, prefer Cincotta especially vs GWS who are playing a strong disciplined brand under Kingsley and as I said in another post I wouldnt want too many novice players in the one team.
With all our injuries we look a bit thin for replacements and our depth not so deep.....
EB Binns just look too small (thin) to me and doesn't look like he can go 4 qtrs at AFL level (we know AFL is quite a step up in pace than VFL).

I watched from the 15min mark of the 3rd qtr onwards. From what I saw, Young is the only senior listed player who showed anything worth considering for senior selection. As I said earlier, the fascination with Binns is astounding, the kid is miles off as is Moir. We know Cowan can play, we saw it last year so based on his first half he may get a gig. Cincotta will come for sure unless he is injured.

...and doing okay. Has done some good things, hasn't looked out of place.

Blues      9.9
Dagpies  9.8

Dagpies came out strong after half time and opened up a 2 goal lead - the biggest of the game. 11 lead changes. Very entertaining game.

Pain in the clacker to watch... I've got the sound through the AFL link and picture through Edge! Through the AFL link (Firefox is my default browser) it is stop start buffering, whereas through Edge the picture is good but runs a little slow... running both browsers together fixes the Edge slowness!

Go Blues!
Its on CH7 in HD

Dom Akuei has 2 possessions up to 3/4 time. :( He's gone backwards, as there were times last year when he looked like he had promise.
Sorry to see Billy Wilson off injured: probably concussed. :((
7 possessions to Moir, but he has been in it. A long way to go, alas.

Monahan hasn't done a lot: he's very much learning the caper.
Moir has been moved to the backline to cover for the loss of Akuei.
