North Ballarat v Footscray VFL Practice match

[Chazdog92]

Qtr time scores: North Ballarat 6.3 39 v Footscray 2.0 12 Preuss is a massive unit. Nahas is buzzing around as usual. Got here a bit late but have seen him kick 2 goals. Dumont is in and under laying some hard tackles. Durdin looks like he is struggling with the pace a bit which is to be expected. Had a snap and kicked a behind. Not too much of a breeze but definitely had the wind that quarter. Perfect weather in Ballarat for footy.

Durdin just snapped a nice goal.

Great work mate. Keep em coming

So is Durdin playing as a forward then not a back? If so I like this

Possible Petrie replacement.

I can confirm he is definitely playing forward. Nahas, Durdin and Preuss started up forward. North Ballarat look much better this year with Sewell and Stephenson back in the team.

That saved me a lot of effort

 

[Augustine]

Possible Petrie replacement.

Once Petrie and Waite are done in one or two years we have Black, Brown, Durdin and Wood there to take the mantle. List is in a nice place.

 

[Chazdog92]

Eureka stadium looks in immaculate condition.

 

[Heaps of fun]

Can only reflect well on Preuss and Durdin that while they've been up forward their side as kicked 65 points in a half.

 

[Chazdog92]

No problem. Literally a 5 min drive for me. Played here as a junior. I'll be watching the forward line this quarter so any questions just fire away and I will reply at 3 quarter time.

 

[GarnerSmash]

Brilliant.

Let us know if Preuss gets a run in the ruck at any stage mate.

Can already answer that. It's mostly been Big O but Preuss has don't bits here and there. As we saw in the highlights last week he more than holds his own. Pretty sure Nahas's brother is here too.

 

[Augustine]

A sudden, random (and mental) desire for North Ballarat to smash Footscray just come over me. A decade of work in Ballarat probably something to do with it. I'm crazy and just a little bitter.

Sewell continues to find the pill with 17 touches, Dumont getting busy with 15 possessions and Nick Rippon has 14. #PJVFL #GoRoosters

 

[Chazdog92]

I didn't realise Tippett is playing.

 

[Kimbo]

Come on Froggy!

 

[TooUglyForFugly]

... Wait, Tippett? Wow, Foolscray sucks if he gets a goal.

Interesting that Tippett is playing. Reading between the lines, I have realized that the lines are too close together to read anything between them. But interesting that Tippett is playing.

Any other possible round 1 contenders playing today Chazdog and co?

 

[Chazdog92]

Preuss, Durdin and Nahas starting forward. Preuss at full forward. Looks like Durdin at chf

 

[Chazdog92]

Nahas kicks another one. Marks then played on and goals.

 

[Devington]

So Nahas with 4...
That complicates things in a fantastic way.

Surely odds on to be put back on the senior list, especially if Patch gives it away.

 

[Chazdog92]

Nahas just set up a goal but the player hit the post. It's quite a fierce praccy.
