PORT MELBOURNE v. NORTHERN BLUES
Round 15 – 13/07/2019 1400 Adcon Stadium (Port Melbourne)
Really bad timing, having this game and the seniors playing at the same time. It means that at least 1, maybe 2 players will miss as travelling emergencies. Nichevo, we don't get much help in this area.
Northern Blues
B: 77. M. Blakey, 26. H. Macreadie, 19. A. Schumacher
HB: 57. E. Penrith, 37. B. Silvagni, 21. J. Garlett
C: 46. M. Cottrell, 32. A. Fasolo, 55. J. O’Rourke
HF: 44. M. Owies, 12. T. De Koning, 29. C. Polson
F: 53. J. Palmer, 36. P. Kerr, 54. J. Velissaris
R: 27. M. Lobbe, 69. S. Fisher, 47. J. Deluca
Int: 42. K. LeBois, 72. N. Wheeler, 52. M. Stavrou, 66. G. Strachan, 25. K. Keppel, 14. J. Lynch, 75. F. Anderson
23P: 71. J. Walters
In: G. Strachan, J. Walters, J. Lynch, F. Anderson, K. Keppel, N. Wheeler, Stavrou, E. Penrith
Out: A. Johnson, A. Phillips, F. O’Dwyer, H. Goddard, O. White
Not sure about why Johnson is not there: being managed? It would make sense. Phillips has been suspended fr a week, so he is back next week.
The problem for the Baby Blues is our midfield: we don't have much of one. No matter ow good your rucks or forwards, if the mids are not getting the ball out, you're always on he back foot.
We really miss Tom Wilson, who is the in and under king for this team.
I guess we need to recruit some new mids for 2020.
Port Melbourne
B: 37. H. Hooper, 30. E. Phillips, 27. C. Beasley
HB: 8. D. Van Unen, 36. L. Waddell, 16. C. Searle
C: 3. E. Templeton, 18. M. Wooffindin, 9. A. Krakauer
HF: 22. D. Johnstone, 7. D. Conway, 13. J. Blair
F: 43. T. O’Sullivan, 6. J. Lisle, 32. B. Pearson
R: 28. T. Goodwin, 5. S. Lange, 4. T. O’Sullivan
Int: 29. C. Walker, 11. B. Lloyd, 12. P. Lewis-Smith, 10. M. Arnot, 14. I. Conway, 2. K. Haretuku, 17. M. Signorello, 45. J. O’Brien
23P: 39. G. Nagle
Port are not unbeatable, but they do have mature bodies and we really don't. They have strong midfield which finishes well, something the Baby Blues have struggled with all year. Even in the practice match back in March the Blues killed them early, but got run over in the last quarter.
