I get that, but surely Vic teams could arrange practice matches amongst themselves to fill bye rounds? Maybe we can host a few at VUWO/MWO?

You had 1 against Carlton last week and pulled out

Jaques will make his red, white and blue debut.

Up to 11 AFL-listed players could feature, with the three AFL emergencies in Jones, Caleb Poulter and Jordan Croft also named to face Werribee.

The ‘Scray recorded an emphatic 126-point win over the Northern Bullants in Round 1 of the Smithy’s VFL season, before a bye in Round 2.

The first bounce will be at 1:05pm AEDT on Saturday at Melbourne Avalon Airport Oval.

Whats wrong with Coffield now?

 

[TommyD13]

Also interesting is Duryea not named at with r level after being managed last week. Is there something a bit more serious going on there?

 

[Wizard17]

Whats wrong with Coffield now?

Boneitis

 

[Doggies7]

Coffield is just going to be one of those guys who can never get his body right it seems...

 

[DiamondDogs8]

Coffield is just going to be one of those guys who can never get his body right it seems...

Genuinely played quite well in that stretch toward the end of last season. Shame

 

[DognBones]

Whats wrong with Coffield now?

He picked up 20 disposals against a poor Bullants team two weeks ago. However, if he is yet again injured then his two years on our list will likely be very unrewarding for all concerned. Perhaps we didn't expect too much when we recruited him in the first place.

Boneitis

It’s his only regret

 

[MaxiBont]

Keen to see how Jaques looks

 

[JTCWBFC]

Really hoping Hynes comes on quickly. Think he could add something to our mix

 

[Testekill]

Can't see Artie in the VFL lineup so looks like he travelled to WA as the emergency.

 

[Testekill]

Tony Scott with the first goal of the game following a holding free caused by a quick entry which caused the Tiger's defender to panic

 

[Testekill]

No Poults today either

 

[Testekill]

And signal completely gone

 

[Testekill]

We kicked a second goal, no I don't know who kicked it

 

[Testekill]

Stuffed up a bit in defence but lovely tackle from Lachie

 

[Mofra]

Smith, Busslinger, Hynes.... they're going to make it.

 

[fargy]

VFL stats must be done by the feed as well, as they don’t have our second goal kicker.

 

[Testekill]

High contact free to Lewis 15 out on an angle but slams it into the post

 

[Fossie 32]

Lewis kicks like me

 

[Foxman98]

Jaques looks alright so far

 

[Mofra]

So, turns out Jacques is a good kick. Nice

 

[Testekill]

First sighting of Jacques so far, lovely kick into the middle to Orgill who should have gotten a 50.

 

[fargy]

I like how we are consistent with recruiting, can’t kick straight in the AFL so why not do the same in the VFL.
