VFL Round 10: Northern Blues vs Box Hill at Box Hill

[crashlander]

Not there yet!  Got some tasks to do around the house before my leave pass kicks in 

Fair enough. I've got to run and do the shopping with the kids in a minute, so you will know more than I will.
Anyway, it is now half time and the Blues are ahead against one of their real bogie teams.

Northern 7 - 6 - 48
Box Hill 5 - 4 - 34

A late goal to Casley and the Blues headed into half time with a wee bit of momentum.

GOALS: Bolger 3, Corboy, Casley, Payne, Stevens
DISPOSALS: Stevens 15, Barrett 13, Strachan 13, Krithararis 11, Jordan 10.

That Strachan is there suggests we have a reasonable line-up for the main game.

2 quick goals to the NBs. Korchek and Aurrichio are the ruck pair and they are making a real difference.

Nice win in the development league by the baby blues

Listening to the radio commentary on 94.1 FM.  It's a disgrace.  I know they're amateurs, but seriously I don't want to hear your in joke anecdote.

Anywho were down by 5 points halfway through the second.

[Mondy]

Billy Gowers having a huge one.  Seems to have racked up about 40 possessions and its only the second quarter.

Jones lining up for goal.  Misses it.  33 to 29.

[Mondy]

We've had all the play.  Phillips killing it in the ruck.  But we can score.  Hard to tell though because the commentary is rank.  One moment it's in the Hawks forward line and suddenly it's in our forward line.  Awful.

At quarter time:
GOALS: Buckley, Kerbatieh.
DISPOSALS: Jones 10, Gowers 10, Wilson 9, Dick 7, Buckley 6, Ballard 6.

That is probably T Jones, not L Jones.

Must be pretty heavy out there.

[crashlander]

Half time and not a lot of scoring at Box Hill.

Northern Blues 4 - 5 - 29
Box Hill 5 - 3 - 33

I guess we can say that bad kicking is bad football. From the twitter feed it suggests that we are not playing badly, just not scoring enough.
I have no idea how Silvagni is going, but he isn't getting huge amounts of ball.

GOALS: Buckley 2, Kerbatieh, Jaksch.
DISPOSALS; Gowers 19, T. Jones 16, Whiley 13, Sheehan 13, Wilson 13, Dick 12.

Nice to see Sheehan getting the ball more, and Dick must be getting close to fitness again.
Gowers is an interesting sign.
