VFL Rd 1: Northern Blues vs Footscray at Footscray

[Baggers]

BB has stated emphatically, after last week IIRC, that we will be persisting with the game plan and suffer in the short term until we get good at it. It could be painful for a bit longer yet but at least it shows a long term view.

That's my take on it too, Fluffy One. I know IF is a big word but had we hit targets correctly today I am very confident the scoreboard would have been very different. You can see there is a plan and our blokes have just got to get used to it and get ruthless with excellent execution.

Credit to Jones for not once showing bad body language at the deplorable delivery to him/forward line.

EB1... reckon you're on the money re the Rainbow. Yes he picked up a lot of easier possessions today but he did make good position and he did work hard. The strength of the bloke is his left foot... you just know he's going to hit a target. Got some good size as well, now. Although he mightn't win enough of his own ball, there's not much to lose in giving him a gig. Who knows, he might be one of these blokes who can only get so far in the Magoos but grows another leg in the seniors.
