VFL Round 8: Northern Blues vs. Coburg

[crashlander]

The Battle of Bell St.
Does Bell St. need battling over? I've never thought so, but.... 
The game is set for the Queen's Birthday Monday at Coburg (Piranha Park, no less) at 2:00 PM.

I wonder if they know that a Brazilian Prostitute is known as a Piranha?

It wasn't that long ago that Clem Smith got a senior game. Now he is reserve for the 2nds. We again are mightily short on ruck power. It could be the difference between winning and losing.

Accordingwith more fitness work.  Solid and strongess work.  Northern Blues website, Alex Aurrichio is to debut today.

He has.not done too bad for a rookoe's rookie. Get's around ok but could be even better with more fitness work. No system discernable in the forward line. A lead or two wouldn't go astray. Wasteful in the third with the wind and will likely lose die to that.82 50 to NB 7 9 51 @ start of the last.

[crashlander]

One point down at the moment.

[crashlander]

At 3/4 time:
DISPOSALS: McGuinnes 25, Cattapan 20, Ellard 18, Boekhorst 17, Walsh 17, Yarran 16
Boekhorst had 9 disposals that quarter.

GOALS: Ellard 2, Watson 2, Yarran, Johnson, Jaksch.

19 minutes down and we are now 2 points behind after a Coburg goal. Low scores and hard yakka.

[crashlander]

13 minutes gone ina tough last quarter. Big goal from Ellard after good work up field. The Blues are now 4 points in front.

[laj]

Holding on like grim death. Some of the newbies doing well. Jaksch showing great composure under all sorts of pressure just then.

Low scoring qtr so just need to hold on for about 7 min or so.

[crashlander]

Two quick goals to Coburg and things now look difficult. 8 points down against the gale.
