Re Kirby, he was relatively quiet in the first quarter and a bit, but has noticably come into it, even off the ball.
His fitness is definitely improved (he has distinctly shed a fair bit off the front) and has been running out games much better.
I wouldn't expect QB would be his go, but watch out for him in the run home. At this trajectory, he will debut... _________________ I am vengeance. I am the night. I am MagpieBat. |

Collingwood trail by 2 points, as we start the 2nd half here at Victoria Park... _________________ I am vengeance. I am the night. I am MagpieBat. |

Blairy always manages to "run out" a whole AFL game FWIW!!
Kirby running out 3/4 of an AFL game will do me! HUUUGE TALENT!! |
I thought Blair was playing VFL today ?
Edit: He is.
Crockers' in. Is Kirby likely to even run out 3/4 of an AFL game ? From what I've heard, no. Hopefully he's building that fitness base. _________________ Go Pies

Daicos coming from the ground, took a knee below decks...
Meanwhile, I think Holmes has snaffled the first goal of the 2nd half for the Zebs as I type...

Hellier with a free for a throw, forward of the gates.
Jack thumps it long, into the 50, pack flies, COX stands tall, clunks it!
From 50m, 10 in from the boundary... oh, that is a DAGGER OF A KICK!
GOAL!

Correct - point being that Blairy seems to have been gifted games this season on the basis of being a great competitor who cracks in hard. The fact that he is limited, slow and rarely hits the scoreboard is routinely ignored.
There is an opportunity to debut a gifted footballer with X factor and a nose for a goal next week on a big stage. Certainly he is not fully match hardened and may not "run out" a game. But for Bucks to depart from the robotic and turn towards the instinctive may give the beleaguered supporter some hope and something to look forward to!

I think Nathan Freeman just snapped himself a crumber's minor score there...

Hore with an intercept mark, 60 from home.
He's got a cannon on him, so he unloads to FF, Cox and Keeffe go up, clears everybody, Kirby lurking out the back, gets a toe to it, AND PUTS COLLINGWOOD IN FRONT!!!

Basking in the sun at Vic Park, basking in the glory of seeing Kayle Kirby's 4 goals (that I've seen)😀 _________________ “I even went as far as becoming a Southern Baptist until I realised they didn’t keep ‘em under long enough” Kinky Friedman |

I'd hate to see the kid get an AFL game and then flounder due to the pace. Not being able to get near it or continually chasing his opponent could destroy his confidence.
Blair seems to me, that he's on the outer. Only omission after a big win. Kirby is chasing Broomhead or Crockers spot, I would have thought. I hope he's ready. Would be a handy addition. _________________ Go Pies |

Kayle's doing everything right but still too early IMO to play seniors _________________ “I even went as far as becoming a Southern Baptist until I realised they didn’t keep ‘em under long enough” Kinky Friedman
