2018 VFL Rd 7: Northern Blues vs Box Hill Hawks

[crashlander]

This game is a hard one for the Baby Blues, as Box Hill are one of the favourites for this year's crown. The game is at Box Hill at 1400 on Saturday 18th May.
Our side still has a lot of injury and form issues, but that is not surprising.

Good to see Williamson and Cuningham back. They are expected to play. The rest of the team is still up in the air with Carlton playing on Sunday. At least one of the 'Emergencies' won't play and neither will the 4 Carlton interchange players.

Do you think they are sending messages to the group?

Lamb and Wright have no reason to worry IMHO, particularly Lamb who was at his unsociable best, although his go isnt the quick half back flankers, and melbourne have a few of them.

yes, his ankle.

i think he did it Rd 1 vs the Tigers (you will recall we lost him in Q2, after he did it in Q1 then Special K went down too) and it's never been allowed to fully heal....

[LP]

Yes, ankle again.

He's young, they need to get him sorted out so they don't turn him into another Daisy.
