VFL report by Pipeline!

Interesting on Stanley. Unlike many others, I've seen a lot to like in his few AFL games, and if he's putting in this kind of effort in the VFL consistently, he has to be rewarded at some point.

I stopped reading at lovechild. If you can't give a balanced report without resorting to ridicule, why bother?

It is a great report and what he has said in the whole report is true, MM does play favourites when you consider certain players get a run without showing sweet fa form in the VFL. Yet the guys who get regular BOG's can't buy a game with a fist full hundreds.

BTW your the only one missing out if you choose not to read the whole thing.

Shannon Cox was always near BOG and never got a game in the 1's.

Until Yoda tought him some patience and now you'd think he'll play most of this year in the 1's.

stanley is competing with obree swan and beams. Last year it was also burns. Beams deserved his spot. Team balance is a key reason. Blaming his non inclusion on MM is rubbish. DS is a very good vfl player and will get his chance in 09 but has to perform when he gets it. Does he have the goods at the highest level not just in the magooes

Gotta question the report, when they think Beams was playing?????

Firstly, he played AFL, secondly, He's the one with the Tatts on one arm (and I doub't Swanny would be in the VFL side), so pretty hard to miss.

I'll take this one with a grain of salt, me thinks. But thanks anyway. Some opinion is better than none!

No one has to sell me on Stanley!

He would be in my 22 every week.

Has the skill set we desperately need more of in our midfield.

He's tough, brave, talented and is a genuine inside midfielder.

Malthouses stubborness to include him in our side is bordering on insanity and personally believe is not in the teams best interest.

Stanley at the very least has earned the opportunity to play at AFL level again and should be given a block of 4 games to prove himself.

Was John McCarthy playing over the weekend?
I heard he might have injured his shoulder in the Old Scotch practice match last week. Can someone please confirm?

I think Beams started in the 2's and then got the call up to the ones because Dale Thomas was ill.

Looks like Johnson and Heath SHaw will miss. Who do you think will replace them?

For the record Mick has an enormous amount of time for Danny Stanley. He also likes Alan Toovey's no nonsense and hard working approach to the game, but Alan is far from a lovechild.

Danny's opportunity will come very soon and he may be the one to get called up for Roids this Friday.

Good report in most respects otherwise.

Some pics from today's game...
