VFL - Rd 1, Sandringham vs Frankston

[joffaboy]

Great work by Holmes and a beautiful goal into the wind by Billings from the boundary

[kosifantutti]

Roberton is incredibly disappointing. Drops his head when he doesn't get the ball. His kicking is appalling.

Tom Lee looked very good in that quarter. Three goals and he spent half the quarter in the ruck.

Holmes has a LOOOOOONG way to go. Although in a five minute period where every Sandy player who got it tried to kick a torp with the wind, he gave off a handpass. Maybe he hasn't learned the torp yet.

I was impressed with Simpkin's confidence to mark on the forward line and turn on to his left foot. Unfortunately it ended up being a 2m sideways chip.

Weller hasn't had a lot of it but impressed by his efforts.

I thought Bruce was pretty good other than the 50 he gave away. Shenton also good but made a couple of poor errors.

[StPeter]

Classy goal by Billings against the wind.

He is starting to get the ball much more after a quiet first half.

Sandy 20 points up.

[felix]

Holmes has a nice leap - will be an OK ruckman when he learns the game

Billings looks all class with the ball, disposal a bit sloppy

Markworth moves nicely, a bit rusty, but I like the way he moves.

Lee, doing his job, beautiful kick of the football

TDL and Milera look a class above VFL but a bit below AFL

SIpposs doing some nice work in Qtr2

Roberton looking underdone but getting the pill. Turning it over though.

Bruce - unless he gets rid of the idiotic Hipster beard and hair, never to get a game until this happens - or delist. Hipster tryhard


Hipster Scum get nothin done .....oxymoron comment re billings .

[kosifantutti]

Did anyone else notice the boxhill Hawks development squad have this guy Mc Evoy who kicked 5 goals. Gee the trade looks better our way by the day when he can't get a game in the seconds even- unless they have two of them named Mc Evoy that is.

According to the afl site:

Out Luke Hodge (Groin), Tim O'Brien (Omitted), Ben McEvoy (Omitted)

Great news on the Sandy front - Frankston pumped us in the pre-season but that was the same weekend GWS pumped the Saints I think so the Saints players were in heavy training load and buggered.

Lee has turned it around - maybe he was just coasting while his shoulder was recovering. Its bloody terrific. Billings on fire too.


My only worries are Dylan and Spencer.
Spencer is at the cross-roads and we all know Dylan can play so I'm worried about his state of mind. Hope the kid is ok.

Ouch, Ben Mc Evoy should be at least in the BHH senior side. Their depth must be massive if he can't even make that. They looked like they recruited well but Big mac is in their development squad and Garlett has packed his bag and run.

Well it looked like McEvoy was holding the Hawks back considering the way they played last night.

Interesting how a poster on here was singing his praises compared to Hickey last week. Wonder if he thinks he knows more than the Hawthorn selection committee who dropped him.

Many listed players look very ordinary..

Maybe thats why they are playing for Sandy

Some very ordinary comments

[bergholt]

Gee this Billings kid is a footballer. Just drilled one from a set shot 50 out on the boundary. Getting near it around the ground as well.

[joffaboy]

We should have a look at signing Billings

[kosifantutti]

Beautiful kick from Billings for his third. Zebras by nine

Edit. Billings four. Zebras by 21.

Edit. Billings 5.

[joffaboy]

Yep, maybe rookie Billings, could develop into a player who may make a list one day

[LTN16]

Jack Billings!!!!!

[joffaboy]

5 for Billings.

Hmmm fair

[dragit]

Too small.

[bergholt]

Four in the last quarter of a tough game for Billings. Two from the goal square but still - good signs.

[StPeter]

Wow what a second half by Billings. All class. Four goals already in last quarter and five for the game.

I don't think he will be playing many more games at this level.

Probably right.

Jesus Jone is bagging the s,hit out of Holmes.

Played one of two games in his life. Give him a chance ffS

He's certainly not good enough

Two from the boundary one against the wind

I actually think Holmes is OK in ruck contests around the ground, where it's not so much about technique as power. But beaten hands down in centre bounces and in general play.

Yeah he was well beaten, but he has a leap and gets to the contest. Really the epitome of a project player.

A huge way to go but needs to learn the game. Still showed more than Walsh ever did
