Yeah, it was just a touch too much.

How was Z Cordy this week after his promising game last week? Guessing the ball didn't get past centre for most of the match.

 

[Dav1d]

The last draft was a very good one

You remember Dean Gore from last years draft?
He was sitting in front of me at Simmonds & was interested in how Hamilton/Daniel & Webb were going
very interested in Webb, he said Webb was a gun
looks like we played alright

 

[DogDays]

Scores and best players?

Only saw the second half. Keep in mind that the opposition was very weak and undermanned.
Macrae: kicked well to position, had more time to dispose of the ball than he does at Afl level but to leave him out any longer is just plain stupid
Hrovat: very creative around the packs and also used the ball well, another who should be in the mix for promotion
Grant: only played half a game due to emergency for seniors duties but showed enough skill to warrant consideration for promotion
Cordy Junior: given limited time on ground but tackles hard and used the ball well, get him in the gym and we have a player next season
Campbell: dominated the ruck after Will was sent to the sin bin, dropped a fair few marks which was disappointing but his tap work against limited opposition was very good
McLean: highly skilled small who can take a strong mark, disposal today was excellent, another who needs to build some muscle to be a great forward prospect next year
Webb: a few handpasses went astray but his game was very solid, and kicking as usual, excellent
Pearce: a good game, getting more opportunity in and around the midfield and gaining confidence
Hamilton: as skinny as spaghetti, made a few errors but contributed well, developing for next year
Will: given red card as soon as I arrived, can't comment
Prudden: blows hard each time he is interchanged but was quite effective down back and in the midfield
Hamling: didn't have to work too hard due to the opposition not getting the ball in their forward line, but was steady with good marking and punching
Darley: typical Darley game with good outside run and neat disposal, may not be hard enough for AFL level
Daniel: given limited time, some smart hand balls in traffic but otherwise quiet
Smith: this guy is shaping up as our next back pocket player, took a specky and plenty of run
Redpath: lead well and out muscled weaker opponents, strong second half
Special mention: all the top up players today were very good lead by Russell and Greenwood.

Footscray 5.7 11.11 17.14 27.17 (179)

North Ballarat 0.0 1.1 3.3 5.3 (33)



Goals Footscray: Redpath 5.2, Mclean 4, Grant 3.2, Webb 3, Hrovat 2, Pearce 2, Hayes 2.2, Hamilton 1.2, Macrae 1, Greenwood 1, Campbell 1, Russell 1, Buchannan 1, Fogarty 0.1. Minson 0.2, Rushed 0.5.

Goals North Ballarat: Andrew Hooper (that little guy who played one game for us), Lyle, Scott, Staley, Aaron Black

Best: Hrovat, Webb, Macrae, Mclean, Redpath

Aaron Black, a North listed player got their first goal through a great individual effort: a long run and bounce.

Hrovat
Played with authority today. A lot of evasive run and tried hard.

Webb
Back to his pre-callup best

Macrae
Got a lot of the ball, many tackles.

Mclean
His best game to date.

Redpath
Took about 6 overhead marks and was very steady when shooting for goal.

The backline was sound but didn't have to do a lot of work. Seems as though everybody played well. Spindleshanks may have been best on the ground if he didn't go off at half time. Minno was doing well in the ruck before bumping an umpire. We play Frankston at Frankston next week; they are on the bottom of the ladder with no wins.

Weird how this was the only game that a Bulldogs team played this weekend, huh.

Toby McLean's stat line from yesterday. Fair to say he had a good game.

Huge game, a few reports are saying he kicked 5 as well, and going by the twitter feed he handed off a heap as well! Want this kid in the team. What a draft!

 

[Wizard17]

16 effective kicks and only 3 ineffective kicks for McLean #class

I got those stats from the Footy Live app, which does tend to show different stats to other sources quite often. From being at the game this stat line seems fair though, he played very well all over the ground. I like the 12 marks in particular.

How was darley?? Hard to judge against such shite opposition i guess.

[100action]

Sounds pretty good, any idea how many marks he took? That seemed to be most peoples main criticism of him. Has to be worth a go this week, unless we throw Rough in there full time anyway, liked him in there on the weekend.

If we rest Boyd then Campbell would come in you'd think
