VFL Rd 17: Northern Blues vs Werribee

[crashlander]

This week's game is something of an oddity: we are on TV! Amazing as it sounds, it is true. The Blues play Werribee at Werribee on Sunday, with the game starting at 1140.
Werribee have been very ordinary lately, but won last week for the first time in ages.
The Blues are probably not going to be any stronger: one key forward will be out at least replacing Charlie Curnow. However, our emergencies should play.

Is that the second game for the season?

I'm looking forward to it.

Pies in the oven, hot dogs on the stove... for Saturday and Sunday. Monday, 3 hour work-out to burn off all that cr@p!!

About an hour on the exercise bike going pretty solidly usually burns off about 500 cals! For me anyway.

Interesting how when Everitt plays in the magoos any chance the media dept gets, or senior coach, they pump up his tyres. Have heard he is well liked by certain people at the club. A polarising figure it would seem because many find his lack of physicality/intensity/effort very frustrating.

if Gibbs can change his ways vis a vis intensity/effort etc surely Everitt can too? Well, he must if he wants to keep playing at Carlton....

The payoff would be handsome if Everitt could drop his bad habits as his good attributes, especially his goal kicking, are areas we lack. I can understand then why some at the club like him, especially those who think he can be developed into what we want him to be. I hope it turns out that way BUT............?

Wood plays his 100th VFL game: pretty impressive in its own way. He has had a journey. The Carlton phase will probably end at the end of the season, but....
This is also mentioned as being the 1st time all year that Cuningham has played 3 games in a row. That doesn't include the pre-season, but it does say something about why he hasn't progressed as quickly as we could hope.
It is quite possible that Harry McKay could play on his twin, even though they are named at opposite ends of the ground.

Majak Daw must be thinking himself pretty stiff: take mark of the year and actually looks dangerous (not saying he was dangerous) and he gets dropped! Maybe Clem Smith will out-do him this week. )

Liam Jones must have also managed to walk under a few ladders, break heaps of mirrors and walk by black cats in job lots: how he didn't get picked in front of Everitt amazes me. But then, what do I know?
