We're a point behind.

7 points now, still a good effort with what we had on the park.
Re: VFL Rd 16: Northern Blues vs Footscray at Ikon - laj - 08-05-2017
Lost 80-67. Dogs kicked 6.5 to 0.2 in the last qtr.
Re: VFL Rd 16: Northern Blues vs Footscray at Ikon - LP - 08-05-2017
Well the Dogs switched on their game plan at will, we were never a serious threat and the Dogs coach would be very unhappy with players only making an effort when it was required!
I suppose this is why their seniors are in the position they are in!

We had Palmer, Sumner, Buckley and a semi fit Byrne as our only players with any AFL experience to speak of, Macredie is in his first season and Jaksch hasn't cut it at senior level, Sheehan has only played a few games.
Realistically Footscray would have needed to be a basket case.

In Jaksch defence he doesn't play at senior level for us to find out if he can cut it. Probably due to his bad attitude.

Whatever issues Jaksch has , he's a mobile goal kicking tall Forward which we are desperate for.
Surly the club could council, support and better manger players with challenges and difficulties , surely how difficult and serious can it be?
Another 4 goal haul and not mention of his effort.

Although I'm not claiming an insight, it could very well be he doesn't want to play for us.
He might end up out of the AFL completely at this rate.

He didn't cut it at GWS and he's shown precious little in his 6 or 8 senior games at Carlton.
I'm all for giving him a last chance to prove himself but I'm not confident that he can, I think it comes down to a basic lack of ability.
