VFL Rd 18: Northern Blues vs. Werribee at Preston

[crashlander]

WERRIBEE v. NORTHERN BLUES

Round 18 – 19/08/2017
01:00PM Preston City Oval

We are not the home team, believe it or not. This is Werribee's home game, but their ground is unavailable. It was originally set down to be played at Carlton, but I have no idea why they changed it. But they did. So we will see another windy game at the home of Wind, the Preston City Oval.

Are we on TV?

Are we on TV?

Unfortunately, no.

Think I'll head out there, last game at PP for the year and all that. Besides, they generally do a pretty good steak sanger!

[blue4life]

Too cold for me Baggers, I'm getting soft in my old age.

Same here! The dog's walk was a short one today and I beat a hasty retreat to the coffee shop.

WER 58 NB 91
Third quarter.

WER 76 NB 105
Full Time!
A big win for the baby Blues and still a small chance of playing finals!


Stats from earlier: DISPOSALS: O'Shea 18, Palmer 17, Stevens 14, Graham 14, Sheehan 11, Wilson 11.

[crashlander]

GOALS: Gallucci 4, Graham 3, Gorringe 2, Stevens 2, Declase, Korcheck, Lebois, Sumner, Wilson.

DISPOSALS: Wilson 29, O'Shea 28, Palmer 25, Graham 24, L. Russell 24, Cuningham 20, Declase 20.

Probably Graham's lowest stats for the year in the VFL, but 3 goals looks nice!

[ElwoodBlues1]

OShea has probably played himself onto a AFL senior or rookie list....
