Hope Biggie is all healed and plays well.

Has showed more this year and I'd like to see him push for senior selection.

Tiges 13, Suns 12 after 11 minutes, Mansell is playing.

Geez this Suns VFL team is just full of AFL list cloggers.

Makes them a good vfl team unfortunately,

Geez this Suns VFL team is just full of AFL list cloggers.

trading period just last year, they picked up Stein, Blakely, Anderson, berry and Long.

that's 12% of a list

Aiming for a VFL premiership is a realistically low bar for the Black Hole Suns to set themselves.

that would be about a $200m cup?

VFL should all be about developing next generation of younger players, not clogging up a list with mature age players who’ll never feature at AFL level.

22 AFL listed players and an academy player make up the Suns team today.

 

[TigerForce]

How long are the quarters???

theres a rule in place that actually hinders development that I dont understand.

the 23rd man in VFL

I cant see any practical difference between 23rd man and the 1st through 22nd man. its not a sub, its just a 5th bench spot.

but theres a rule that say you cant be 23rd man more than 6 times in 2 seasons.

can anyone shed any light on the purpose/practicality of the 23rd man in VFL?

and thats exactly how we treat the VFL, and why we are being outclassed today. I much prefer our method though and think long term is the most sustainable way to continue to unearth talent. If we hadn't done that, there might be less chance that players like Young, D-Ambrosio etc end up on an AFL list.

We were always going to struggle today with the quality that the Suns were putting out today. A bunch of highly rated high end draft picks, supplemented with a bunch of AFL list cloggers.

I suppose if the Suns have zero chance at an AFL premiership, may aswell stock up and go for that VFL one.

 

[The Mole]

More first round picks in their team than our entire list I think.

 

[Redford]

Bring on Nathan Philactides.

Black Hole Suns! That's brilliant.

Probably the only Soundgarden tune that I don't like. What a band.

 

[Sintiger]

Bring on Nathan Philactides.

Already on. Has had 7 possessions

Great band. Credit for the nickname goes to @Dyer'ere

 

[Baloo]

Just switched this on to see we're 50 odd points down at half time. Are we playing the GCS seniors?

 

[Redford]

Chris Cornell. What a shame.
