VFL Rd 6: Northern Blues vs Williamstown

[MilkIt]

What a disgrace. Embarrassing.

For the third week in a row we started as if everyone had a valium sandwich before the game and only started playing after half time. And our opponents were up and about and really vocal. Buckley was about the only BlueBagger with a voice. What is it with this quietness on the field? It's very polite of us.

Mrs Baggers is still laughing her head off... she enjoyed the beach, I suffered through unbelievably bad football from our blokes and the loud gloating from Willi supporters.

SOS played for a half (his calf was iced in the 2nd half) and looked impressive... then again, anything alive would have looked good next to our blokes. Buckley tried his heart out and was full of dash. (Emergencies White and Graham didn't play).

Really, really, really reaching hard for any positives (apart from SOS) - MaCasker did a few nice things, Cuningham did 2 nice things, Boekhorst also did 2 nice things.... Tutt had plenty of it, didn't do much with his disposals but got plenty of it... Smith took a mark and fell over a lot... Rainbow laid a good tackle and gave a good handball... Jaksch took some marks... Foster did 2 reasonable spoils... looks like Dick did a quad (iced in the 2nd half)... Billy Gowers ran and baulked opposition players on 3 occasions!!!... Korcheck continued to be tall... I think you get the gist.

For mine, only Buckley and SOS looked like AFL footballers today.

Were they really good things? :-\

How was his work rate and attack on the footy?

[northernblue]

Absolutely! I feel helpless not being there and only waiting for twitter posts. Please, we need someone who knows what they are talking about!

On that basis Lods, Mrs Baggers showed more nous than our much beloved Baggers...
????????
Front up again next week Baggers... You know that you want to... ????????????????????????

Thanks for the feedback Baggers despite the shortage of positives. Can you at least provide a positive review on the pies?

Hahaha, to add insult to injury the pies were lukewarm and repeated on me all night!

I'm thinking of turning up at half time for the next NBs game... it's about the same time as the players turn up. Pies are always good at Preston and Princes Park ...you thinking of coming along this Saturday?

Did we struggle to get a possession this week or what! 2 of them get more than 40, while half our team got 10 or less. DVR and Cunningham certainly have dropped off, although even Dick couldn't get it this week.

In Dick's defence he was off for a long time with an iced quad and was his usual reliable self until injured.

Damning stat for mine is 3 hopefuls - Cuningham, Boekhorst and Rainbow having 1 (one, uno, solitarious) tackle between them! (I made up 'solitarious').

I actually thought Billy Gowers deserved a positive mention.

With, in regard to our talls, Tractor, Meat, Bluey the Ranga and probably Doully Mk 2 (Weits) out, Jaksch would be likely to get a call up. Wood would be an outside chance as well if not injured.

I think I will wait to see how many (if any) Carlton-listed players are likely to play.

Boekhorst had 4, Cuningham had 4 and DVR had 1. ???
