2018 VFL Rd 17: Northern Blues vs Frankston at Ikon

[crashlander]

Woo Hoo - is that 2 in a row ?

Winning by 14 goals - now that's a margin.

Well done boys - where is this form coming from ?

Having a midfield. Kerridge tired after half time, but had 26 possessions, while Graham had 37!

Some good news!

Well done boys ????????

If we aren't looking at Jesse Palmer for next year we have rocks in our head.  He's a big body who gets amongst the goals and is very creative in terms of helping others score.

GOALS: Kerr 4, Casboult 3, Palmer 3, Velissaris 3, Strachan 2, Blakey, Fisher, Mullett.

DISPOSALS: Graham 37, Kerridge 26, Mullett 24, Wilson 24, Hill 22, Fisher 21, Shaw 21.

I'll add fisher to that two.

Gee that Graham bloke goes ok!

[Professer E]

Pity he can't transfer that form to senior level: classic example of too good for the seconds, something lacking at the next level.

[ElwoodBlues1]

Gee that Graham bloke goes ok!

Mullett had 24 so that devalues Grahams efforts down to about 20 possies...Frankston must be a good team...not..

I went along for a look. However, after repeating the old cliche about only being able to beat what the opposition puts on the ground - there was stuff all opposition (especially after 1/2 time) so pretty much every performance had to be downgraded.

O'Shea was the traveling emergency; Garlett was present in a tracksuit with Strachan warming up later that every one else.

Good to see Macreadie playing.

Kerridge dominated the 1st qtr but Graham dominated the match as Kerridge faded.

Not one of our 3 tall forwards (Kerr, Casboult or De Koning) was worth a cracker in the 1st half - all were too one dimensional but joined in the fun after 1/2 time.

Palmer led very well and kicked very straight but he is not Kane Lambert yet.

Mullett and Shaw are just depth players - Schumacher has excellent disposal but didn't play as well as I have seen him so no rush for an AFL game as yet - then again, Polson keeps getting a game.
