What's the go with Draper and Harrison?

Flu? Injured?

Really relying on the strength of our VFL list now to see us through.

Post by **Dark Beanie** » Fri May 13, 2022 5:12 pm

Neither on the injury list.
Maybe illness. With the bye last week wouldn't think they were being rested, although there is a limit on the number of AFL listed players in the team.

A limit? Really?

Seems rather odd.

Regardless I count only what 10 AFL listed players in the 23 and any limit would have to surely be more than that.

WTF Callum Brown on the bench for the seconds? Collingwood has gone bloody nuts

Post by **Dark Beanie** » Fri May 13, 2022 7:04 pm

It's OK Lazza, Cal has been called up to the seniors.

Swoop, not sure what the actual limit is but done to stop teams stacking with AFL players.

Update: VFL website have Draper and Harrison listed as out-managed.

There will at least 2 changes to the team named as Finn Macrae and Cal Brown both played for AFL last night.

Pity this game isn't at Vic Park.
Not for any nostalgic reasons just that there is cover in the stands. Not a good day to be standing out in the open.

Qtr time: Pies 2.2.14 lead Bulldogs 1.4.10

Goals: Tardrew & Booth

Pies will be kicking with the wind in 2nd qtr.

Dogs getting some soft free kicks.

Pies need to be better at ground level and improve disposal.
And kicking the ball in mid air instead of grabbing it is not a good choice.

Gee it has always been a worry when umpires at reserves level are not good at picking genuine free kicks

Post by **Dark Beanie** » Sat May 14, 2022 3:47 pm

Some of the frees were due to clumsy play but the lack of consistency is still an issue.

Pies winning the hitouts but losing the clearances (sounds familiar).
Mason Cox leading disposals. Mids have to do a lot more work.

Not much in the reserves to pick from to replace players in the seniors. Can see now why the Brown brothers are picked. Murphy looks okay though. Cox is winning hitouts but really not much influence on the game.
