VFL Round 16: Northern Blues vs. North Ballarat at Ballarat

[Robblues]

also refers to lack of resources for coaching and development..pratts and mathiesons take note - you are wasting your money on the seniors if this continues...

Too true MF , at least we should have a lessor senior coaching bill next year , maybe they can fit development into the budget with that. But only thing you can make from spuds is chips and that won't win us games if we don't recruit players with passion & coach ability

It seems to me, most of the boys have raised the White Flag for the rest of this year....Bloody Malthouse has leeched $3million out of the club for his salary....and completly F....d us over in terms of drafting and player development...now a lot of them just want to get out of "Dodge"....very bad times ahead for the once mighty Blues

A bit of a flogging there Crash. Were the expected to lose by so much ? None of our guys appear to keep in touch with their opponents by the look of things. Carlton, NB  :

Yep and which board factions that had control of the decision to sack ratten and engage mick must be held accountable. ..

Quite unexpected. I find it difficult to understand. Since the baby Blues obliterated Frankston, we've suffered a couple of real hidings with very little positive to come from them. Some of it is the injury problems we have. Some of it is simply that the guys we have remaining in the NBs are not looking good. Some of it is the relative lack of talent in the non Carlton side of things. Some of it is lack of leadership. As for the rest, maybe they've just had enough. But we certainly have not been showing the desire and the spirit that was commonplace in the first half of the season at NB level. Things could not be bleaker.

I'd only consider Walker if played forward - that can even be from the goalsquare. Otherwise, he can stay in the VFL.

Walsh must play AFL next week - and not as the sub!

Bring Holman back in also.

Tutt out. Wood out.

Walker and Yarran forward. Henderson back.

Jamison forward with Casboult and Everitt.

not bad  suggestions at all, but we really are shuffling the deck chairs now

These statistics tell a terrible tale.
