Enjoy. Hopefully with the right result.

1st Law of battles: No battle plan ever survives contact with the enemy!

WERRIBEE v. NORTHERN BLUES

Round 18 – 19/08/2017
01:00PM Preston City Oval

We are not the home team, believe it or not. This is Werribee's home game, but their ground is unavailable. It was originally set down to be played at Carlton, but I have no idea why they changed it. But they did. So we will see another windy game at the home of Wind, the Preston City Oval.

If the NBs want to lay n the finals, they HAVE to beat Werribee. No choice.

Choose ONE ONLY Green Shoot you observed from the game.  Can be a player, passage of play and individual effort, any ONE Shoot that put a smile ???? on your face?

Fisher, to Boekhurst to Pickett.....goal!

Not our most high profile Green Shoots this year but maybe a glimpse into the future! (Also we seemed to used Fisher more as a link and run player this week.)

We haven't beaten Hawthorn in quite some time. I would really like to give them a pounding they will never forget.

Remember:
[1] At least 3 players need to get a mention.
[2] No more than 10 votes for any one player.
[3] Give a rating of team performance. It can be anywhere from A+ to F.
[4] Votes must add up to 15.

With us playing in Perth and NOT being on TV, the probability of the large voter turnout is not high enough to worry about. Hope we can play well enough to make those lucky enough to see the game want to vote.

Can we create a political solution to this conflict? I don't know. I just want us to win the conflict!

If you are seeing this one live or on pay TV, well done to you. I will be doing neither. I'll be anxious from the firs bounce to the last.
Car'n the Blues!

This game was originally set as a night game, but had been rescheduled a few weeks ago to be on a Saturday afternoon instead. Still at Casey Fields, but at 1400.

You probably wouldn't pick us, but funnier things have happened, especially of Jaksch kicks 4 again.

Hopefully there will be a few who manage the Trek across the country to see the Blues play the Weagles. WC have not been able to see out games any better than we have been able to. Hopefully that will help us atone for last weekend's failures.
