Northern Blues: 2.2-14 5.3-33 8.4-52 10.5-65
Footscray 3.3-21 7.5-47 7.6-48 10.11-71
This was a pretty good effort, considering the lack of available players. Granted that the Dogs have their injuries, but they are a top 8 team with pretentions. We came within a kick of demonstrating how ridiculous those pretentions are.
It really galls me that More Frees was the guy who kicked the winning goal.

I am amazed, and really pleased, that Lobbe did so well in the ruck. He destroyed the Footscray big men, something I thought was past him. I am also very happy to see Ciaran Byrne make such an impression in the 3 quarters he was on the field.
