I presume Dingaling is still out with glandular fever.One thing I’d not previously noticed: we are quite a small/thin team.
Paton, Langlands are not giants ...

Didn't see a kick in anger but those wanting change from nearly beating the best side might be disappointed. Surely its now Webster for Newnes.

Pierce is the only player allowed to play at Frankston. And the AFL said they won't allow that arrangement of any other player.Would it be worth, sending two of our key backs to Frankston with Pierce?.
Who, Dingleberry Humpalot?Man that kid is going to have like 900 nicknames by the time he plays seniors.

Do you recall the reason why Pierce, and only Pierce? Or was it just a matter of only allowing one player and it happened to be him?

I'm not sure. The AFL just said that they won't be allowing an arrangement like this for any other player at any club.why not?
Was it Khan Haretaku? Yes was on saints rookie list about 5 or 6 or maybe 7 years ago. He is more of a key fwd than a ruck so prob explains why Billy dominated him in the ruck contests.Sounds like the guy who rucked against Longer was on our list but we dropped him(Kiwi) , he kicked 2 goals on Longer in the first quarter and was taking marks around the ground , Longer won the ruck but couldn't control the guy around the ground by the sounds of it.
AFL has said Lewy is the only one they will allow, also I dont think Frankston hierarchy would be interested, they are really proud of being a stand alone club and want to remain stand alone, the reason they agreed to the Lewy deal I believe is Lewy is a Frankston (Mt Eliza) boy and the Dolphins want to be the South East rep side sort of thing in the VFL so makes sense to have a local kid playing there even if he is on Saints list.Would it be worth, sending two of our key backs to Frankston with Pierce?.

They let it go based on Academy zones, coaching continuity etcI'm not sure. The AFL just said that they won't be allowing an arrangement like this for any other player at any club.
Listening to the coverage, they were not too excited about Longers game, surprised to see him in the best.From the VFL site:
Sandringham
Goal Kickers:T. Lamb 5, N. Wright 2, J. Matera, J. Noone, D. Armitage
Best Players. Armitage, E. Phillips, B. Longer, T. Lamb, K. Answerth, B. Seccull
fmd - 70 hitouts 9 possessions but only 1 mark for Billy. Building on his strengths but doing absolutely nothing about his weaknesses.
11 marks even more impressive. Banging the door down might come in for newnesSo is that over 30 possessions in two out of three actual VFL games for Phillips? Pretty impressive for only a second year player. One to keep an eye on.
And flip side - Longer's opponent was BOG with 7 marks and 2 goals..fmd - 70 hitouts 9 possessions but only 1 mark for Billy. Building on his strengths but doing absolutely nothing about his weaknesses.
That's a pretty solid afternoon for Ed Phillips - 5 i50's and 5 R50's. Keeps this up for a couple more weeks and you'd think he'd be a chance for a debut.
Ben Paton and Rice with 20 + again.
I see Paton had 8 i50's. From the commentary it sounded like he should have nailed a couple of goals as well.
My boy is coming along nicely
He deserves a go. What have we got to lose. He might be a better player than newnes.Phillips with some timely form following the Newnes concussion.
Not sure I'd bring him in though even if Jack doesn't get up.

Holmes was racking up the same number of hitouts each week and delisted.. They are meaning less and less now days.
G Thomas was a few years too early. If you look back at some of the things he tried to influence on the game, he was dead right.
