Are you people serious? Frank Raso is playing good footy in the V.F.L too maybe we should give him another crack at it.....Please

So Macdaicos are you saying we should take no notice of the VFL

Jason Cloke is in the best every week for Bendigo... I still think we made the right choice, and teams can go ahead and draft him at their own peril.

Plenty of players who play great footy in the VFL simply haven't got what it takes to make it at the top level.

Jason cloke was stiff to be delisted very good footballer IMO

No. Macdaicos is saying we should take no notice of D.Fanning.

Thats fair enough mate
i might be wrong but i cant recall Richards getting a BOG for willy ever he has had 6 or 7 years on our list and we delist a younger ruckman who played very little football up until we picked him up

I think Danny Stanley said it was easier to play on Russell Robertson in the VFL than in the AFL because of the difference in the quality of delivery.

Lots of players can play well at VFL (or SANFL/WAFL) level without being able to cut it at the next level up. A lack of height, speed, skill that isn't expoited at state level can be cruelly found out at the next level up.

Andrew Williams is regularly in the best for Willi isn't he??

Williams is a good case in point, and as for Fanning... one BOG does not make a brownlow (or some silly variation

)

I heard that Richards too had an excellent game at Williamstown last week.... so let's concentrate on him and support him while he tries to really make it in the AFL, rather than crying over (possibly) spilt milk.

Well, as he didn't get picked up in the preseason draft, it looks like there are 16 AFL teams that disagree with you.

Last years draft was talked up to be one of the best in years most clubs just didnt have room dont be surprised if he gets picked up at the end of the year

Jason Cloke makes a wonderful VFL player because the current VFL still has the skill level of the old VFL from the 70's. Unfortunately, his type of player is finding it increasingly more and more difficult to cut it in modern AFL.
The days of the Bruce Doull type spoilers are pretty much gone!
