2024 VFL thread

The availability of Francis does not lift my spirits all that much.

How the hell did Francis not get cited lol we will take that as a win

[dejavoodoo44]

The coaches votes from the North game. Francis is again our top vote getter. And he wasn't mentioned in the weekly VFL charge sheet, so I assume that means he wasn't suspended or fined.

10 Jack Watkins (NM)
5 Robert Hansen Jr (NM)
4 Zac Fisher (NM)
4 Aaron Francis (SYD)
3 Sam Reid (SYD)
2 Hugh Greenwood (NM)
2 Cooper Vickery (SYD)

Vickery has been quite good of late and is showing a bit more flair than he used to.

I have been impressed by the little I have seen of Hanily. He seems to have a composure with the ball in hand, is tough and also seems to position himself well around the goals, which is promising for a relative newbie to the side and this level. Not forgetting that his shots on goal actually go between the goalposts! He could become a worthy Paps understudy.

agree and there is an energy about Hanily

Good value role pick up

He looks keen as mustard

I've read about a couple of incidents involving Francis during the match but haven't been able to find any information on whether he has been suspended. When does the VFL normally release this?

I think it might be Tuesday afternoon?

With a few minutes to go and I believe a spoil came from a Swans Defender to the 10m square where a North player was by himself. Sometimes VFL is hard to watch.

It was Caleb Mitchell who I thought did the right thing coming in to spoil. Not sure if he lost his bearings or mis punched it but it went right to Harvey’s advatange. I’m also surprised we didn’t have a goalkeeper given the state of the game.

Great fight back, another shot missed after the item to lose a game (we can’t win close ones lol) the small brigade didn’t stand up today - but they fought back so proud of that.

Three goals to Hanily. I wonder what Konstanty watching on is thinking?

Hanily is settling in well and improving every week. I think he’s mostly played TAC Cup (as an over ager) before we drafted him so he’s done well to adjust to the level in a relatively short time.

Tough on the boys that result. North got plenty of calls go their way at big moments in that last quarter.

Better effort to kick five goals to four against the wind. Which gives us some sort of chance of running over the top of them in the last. I'm not entirely optimistic, but at least we looked a bit more cohesive in that quarter. It looks like Wicks has now been held over as the AFL emergency.

That was more like 5 goals into the breeze back to 2 goals - it’s funny none of our small guys have had big games and the co dictions you would think favour that - you can see Reid is starting to work his way back into form. Looking foward to a big last quarter
