VFL Round 16: Northern Blues vs. North Ballarat at Ballarat

[crashlander]

A bit of a flogging there Crash. Were the expected to lose by so much ? None of our guys appear to keep in touch with their opponents by the look of things. Carlton, NB  :

Quite unexpected. I find it difficult to understand. Since the baby Blues obliterated Frankston, we've suffered a couple of real hidings with very little positive to come from them. Some of it is the injury problems we have. Some of it is simply that the guys we have remaining in the NBs are not looking good. Some of it is the relative lack of talent in the non Carlton side of things. Some of it is lack of leadership. As for the rest, maybe they've just had enough. But we certainly have not been showing the desire and the spirit that was commonplace in the first half of the season at NB level. Things could not be bleaker.
