This looks like one of our stronger sides for the year, for what it is worth. But more than a few of these guys appear to be on the way out. Still, hopefully they can deliver the goods this week. After all, Boekhorst did last week. I am certain he had never got 30 or more possessions in a game before. In that regard Whiley was a little unlucky.

23P: 63. N Ryan

Minson usually plays well against Wood, but so usually did Orren Stephenson. Jordon Russell has played extremely well against us in recent times.

A couple of interesting names going around for Coburg at the moment.

[crashlander]

I always like this graphic. With Carlton playing on Saturday it is a fair bet that we will actually line up something like this, for a chance. The 3 emergencies will probably go to Sydney - why not when the game is on at so early on Saturday? But they will want to play om Sunday.

[DJC]

Cripps is at CHB in the development squad.  Does anyone have any idea of how he's going?

[crashlander]

The opportunity is there for guys willing and able to take it. There will be at least 1 change.

[Jofo]

Promising start. Blues 4.3 Bulldogs 1.4 at quarter time.

[Jofo]

1/2time Blues 6.4 v Bulldogs 3.7

[laj]

All our key forwards have 2 each, Jaksch, Jones and Mckay.

Sounds like Everitt has done some good work.

Jaksch springs the counter, Everitt splits two Dogs to mark and McKay does the rest. #WeMarchNorth #PJVFL"
