3/4 time its 35 to 85.

This has been awful.

Palmer and Kerr have kicked the other goals.

Schumacher was busy early.

We need to understand that bsos, o'Dwyer are like playing two men down.

Lang plays like he doesn't give a....   Another ex-Cat who looks to have sooked it up because he can't live on the surf coast anymore.  Time waster.

Time to show him the door.

All of our players are very unfit in relation to their opponents.

Polson probably the only exception.

Werribee are quicker, stronger and more aggressive.....and have no AFL listed players.

Only took me one game to come to that conclusion.
2017-16th
2018-Wooden Spoon
2019-16th
2020-dare to dream? 11th is better than last I suppose
2021-Pi$$ or get off the pot
2022- Real Deal or more of the same? 0.6%
2023- "Raise the Standard" - M. Voss Another year wasted Bar Set
2024-Back to the drawing boardNo excuses, its time

I have one positive.

Stocker looked good.

Particularly in traffic.   Generally used it well and got a lot of it.

Williamson tried all day but needs time to build fitness.  Ditto macreadie.

Kennedy tried hard but I think he started well and faded.

Final score?

17.7 - 109

7.9 - 51

Ouch.

Different team (mentally) to the team that beat the Pies last week....
Finals, then 4 in a row!

Yep.....

Schumacher......ordinary defender and his kicking was poor....wont make it
Goddard.....wont make it, too slow and some of his kicking is poor
Polson...started off ok but faded to black in a hurry.
Williamson...had a few goals kicked on him and lost interest but he does kick the ball well and when it came his way was one of the few
who knew what they were doing with the ball.
Fisher....kicked one good goal but the Werribee mids were all over the NB's and he had no impact.
Macreadie, didnt see much of him and probably needs the run but looks a long way off senior footy.
Ben Silvagni....did nothing down back and looked like he was sponsored by chemist warehouse and didnt want to mess up his hair but was a bit better down forward in the last quarter.....looks lazy.
Kennedy...had a go but had trouble with the opposing mids who were much quicker and equally hard at the ball, wont be playing seniors next week based on today.
Lobbe/Philips, won the hitouts but did nothing around the ground or up forward..
Stocker....looked ok and like Williamson looked like he knew what to do with the ball, maybe needs a yard of pace at senior level as he did caught a couple of times.
Lang...delist.....did nothing.
Fas....looks like its an effort to play  and he should retire.
Kerr...one goal but didnt get near it all day, had the ex Nth listed player Neilson on him and couldnt move him in the contest.
Palmer...two goals but no real impact on the game.
ORourke...dud Hawk reject...
Finbar.....should be back in the TAC comp, looks like a schoolkid out there and his drafting remains a mystery....

Sounds so promising...lol.

Actually Schumacher I like alot last year. Very nearly got into the AFL side on his form. Haven't seen enough this year to tell how he's been going though.

Suppose in Kerr's case if the side is playing $hit th key forward is one of the last to be doing any good.

Thanks for the summary EB, bit of a reality check as i was thinking last week we finally have some depth. Maybe not

Went full of expectation, left at half time because there is nothing worse than watching a team that is playing crap to start off with and then just becomes undisciplined and frustrated due to some exceptionally ordinary umpiring.

Williamson set the afternoon off by giving away a double goal due to undisciplined actions and it went downhill from there. Hard to assess Stocker as he had no support or structure around him. However he just does things that make you think that, in better company, he could do the job....a bit like Williamson when he was given his first chance. Young Finbar and Ben Silvagni are both victims of no development teams and are there purely for experience. Fasolo and Lang are not going to make it but Kennedy, with less attention in the main team, will be ok.

(All based on a full viewing at Vic Park and half a game today)
