VFL Rd 2: Northern Blues vs. Geelong

[laj]

Is this on TV??

No.

Victory 104-90. Great win, great game.

This is some special result. The Baby Blues haven't been able to pull off something like this in a long while.
Blues 104
Pussies 90
Siren gone!

Actually, 16 - 8 - 104 is pretty good kicking from us. Now if only the seniors can pull off that sort of effort.

Well done boys.

3/4 time possessions:
DISPOSALS: White 21, Tutt 16, McGuinness 15, Dick 15, Wilson 15, Gowers 13.
3/4 time goals:
GOALS: Jones 4, Jaksch 3, Bransgrove, Kerbatieh, Cuningham, Tutt.

From the sounds of things a few older heads made quite a difference.
I am looking forward to reading the reports this week.

Final Goals:
GOALS: Jones 5, Jaksch 3, Gorringe 2, Kerbatieh 2, Gowers, Tutt, Bransgrove, Cuningham.
This would be Jones' best effort in our colours. He dominated against a very weak Frankston last year, but this time he had serious opponents and delivered. I wouldn't want to get carried away, but just maybe he may be turning the corner.

Final disposals:
DISPOSALS: White 22, Tutt 21, McGuinness 20, Wilson 20, Dick 18, Gowers 15.

White only 1 possession in the last quarter. Tutt had 6.

In case people haven't followed Liam Jones before he joined us he was actually playing well at vfl level in 2014 but couldn't translate that to AFL.

And that's the whole problem thr, he cant translate that into AFL. Has he turned the corner, only time will when he gets his recall back into the seniors.

Thats got to be the first time in years Jones has kicked 5 at any level?

Too me it looked like someone got Jones over summer and taught him to be a real key forward, not some mad monk who'd fly at packs, drop it and then nothing happened, bar the odd week where he could hold them. This time he knew how to read the play, lead, position his body and taken genuine contested marks one on one. Whoever worked with him over summer has done an outstanding job. Some of his other work was outstanding too. Was noticing he was kicking goals with the NB's but being Jones thought nothing of it. tonight was an eye-opener. Remember I was as anti-Jones as any supporter could possibly be. Jaksch was certainly good but Jones was outstanding. Hopefully wasn't one -off but by the way he approached it I don't think it will be. Well done to him.

Looked a different player. Happy now to give him a go. That way he can either validate or embarrass me...haha!

A very encouraging result, well done NBs.
