any reports on ellard brock aj etc

There hasn't been a lot of talk about Joeseph on the forum, but he's been doing a good job for the team by keeping the oppositions best crumbing forward quiet and sticking up for youngsters when they get into a push and shove. His jumper punch on Brett Goodes would get 2 or 3 weeks at least if caught on camera.

Interesting about the outs.

No problem about Walker being out as he should be given the extra week to be ready for Essendon, but what of McCarthy and Bootsma?

Where's Dale????
Lodge also still a no show, even though not listed as injured.

 

[Blue Girl 4 life]

Andrew McKay said Walker will play in the VFL this week.

Siren sounds to end an entertaining first quarter of football here at Preston City Oval - @NBluesFC 4.3 (27) Collingwood 4.0 (24) #PJVFL

https://twitter.com/#!/NBluesFC/status/191005718046965761

Development team has registered their first win for the season downing Frankston 15.14 (104) to 10.8 (68)

Super effort by @NBluesFC development side romping to a comfortable win. Great team performance and a big plus to see @thomasbell91 back!

Great effort from the 2's, er, Deveopment Side, to win their first game! Well done!

 

[beowulf]

Blues 5 - 4 - 34 tp Pies 5 - 2 - 32

 

[HARKER]

Collingwood up by 10 at half time.

Better players for NBluesFC in the first half here at Preston - McLean, Marcon, Jenkins, Thornton and Watson.

 

[beowulf]

Blues 5 - 4 - 34 to Pies 5 - 2 - 32

Pity my typing is so ordinary.
Anyway, The Blues have come back to take the lead in the 3rd quarter, with a big mark and goal from Thornton.

 

[beowulf]

A bit of a turnaround: Blues up by 10 points with Collins bagging a goal.

At 3/4 time the scores are Blues 11 - 11 - 77 to Meat Pies 10 - 5 - 65

 

[beowulf]

This game changes rapidly, just like the practice game did. We are now 1 point down.

 

[beowulf]

We really need to work on the fitness of thios group! We've faded the last 2 weeks and now the Pies are coming back. We need someone to stand up and provide a spark.

 

[beowulf]

13 points down and not much time left. Not looking good.

 

[beowulf]

Lost by 7 points
Blues 13 - 13 - 91 to Meat Pies 15 - 8 - 98
Bad kicking is bad football. This time it was lethal.

 

[Dale Gribble]

I've only seen him play one V.F.L game in person but it looks like we have a lot to work with. He's got good pace on him, has Dustin Fletcher like long arms that allow him to somehow squeeze in a spoil and he can give the footy a decent roost. What he needs to work on in addition to his lack of muscles is the decision making on his kicks. A few times he tried to centre the ball in a way that needed an inch perfect kick rather than playing the percentages and going long down the line. He will overcome this with experience. He also fumbled quite a bit, which I'm hoping was down to the nerves of it being his first propper game against Men.

He has 3 years to get to AFL level by that time we should have a bit of a indication. It was a bold move to take him as a first round pick. He must have something special, his father was a different type of player and smaller. I thought his old man was very average for the Dockers. This draft was apparently pretty weak we will wait and see in a few years. The clubs first 2 picks, we were looking outside the box as we speak.

This is not good, we lost all games, we need them to make the finals in case of injuries to players.

 

[HARKER]

Also Carter ?

I think Carter was involved in the earlier match.

 

[chipzac]

I am hoping Rowe didn't play today as his name wasn't mentioned in the bests or goal kickers.

 

[Silvagnis]

Walker, Rowe, McCarthy, Bootsma, Bray, Lodge and Dale didn't play.

Northern Blues 4.3 5.4 11.11 13.13 (91)

Carlton midfielder Brock McLean racked up 38 touches and two goals for the Blues but is still likely to battle to get a look at senior level, according to Blues VFL coach Robert Hyde.

''He just has to keep doing this and when he gets an opportunity and he will, he just has to play super, super good,'' he said.

Robbie Warnock also made an impressive return from injury, while Bret Thornton kicked three goals.
