VFL Rd 16: Northern Blues vs Footscray at Ikon Park

[laj]

Peter Jackson VFL 2016
Northern Blues  4.3  6.4  8.8  11.11 (77)
Footscray Bulldogs  1.5  3.7  5.9  10.11 (71)

I gather it was pretty windy and one end had the advantage. Still, we were in front all day, except for a moment or 2 in the last quarter. In the circumstances, it was an excellent result!
Just hope the guys at the ground can thaw out before next week's game.

GOALS: L. Jones 3, McKay 3, Jaksch 2, Korcheck, Kerbatieh, Declase.

I think Liam Jones has to get a call up for next week going on this.

DISPOSALS: Whiley 31, Wilson 28, Tutt 28, Dick 24, Everitt 20, Strachan 19.

Good to see Everitt getting something of the ball. He does seem to fire up against the Dogs.

If Jones is in it has to be as a 2nd key forward. If he plays as the only one he'll struggle like the others.
