FT

AFC 9.8.62
WWT 13.11.89

Maley, Drury two goals. Singles to Ludowyke, Richards, Foot, Welsh and O’Brien.

Best was Borlase. Drury, Maley, O’Brien and Ludowyke with some good moments. Ryan had a good last quarter.

I’ll post a more detailed report tomorrow.

I do like that Ludo impressed. Kid seems desperate to make an impact

 

[beartoo]

Thanks Bigman. What would we do without you?

Thanks Bigman. What would we do without you?

Bitch and moan about Nicks coaching would be my guess.

 

[Huntercrow]

Haha yeh right
Bigman coverage will have to do

I would rather a bigman appraisal than some random amo stream.

AFC 1.2.8
WWT 7.1.43

Maley the sole goal scorer, Ludo with two posters.

Bloodbath as you would expect with our outs. Eagles transitioning far too easily.

Sid understandably looks rusty. Foot fumbly but couple of nice bursts of speed. Strachan playing defence and been ok. Welsh competing well aerially. Ryan non-existent. Cotton getting some pill but very hesitant.

HT

AFC 2.4.16
WWT 10.2.62

Eagles can’t miss.

Maley and Ludo with a goal each.

Sid better that quarter, some real nice gives in tight. Borlase our best - took at least three intercept grabs. ROB just ok, struggling at centre bounce vs Lukac. Bell been underwhelming.

Top-ups turnovers are killing us. And there is a lot of them.

3QT

AFC 7.6.48
WWT 11.6.72

Maley and Drury with two goals. Singles to Ludowyke, Welsh, O’Brien.

Much better quarter although Eagles took a few senior players off.

Big quarter from Drury. Maley some great marks playing primarily in the ruck, though he did have one absolute shank that invited comments from the WWT dregs on the sidelines. O’Brien played forward and was solid. Ryan very quiet though at least he’s playing the game out.

Thank you bigman, You are a great resource on BF. You fill the void that the clubs media department couldn't be bothered with.

I see by the qtr by qtr scores, they jumped us in the first half. But second half we outscored them 7 goals to 3.

Do you think they took their foot off in the second half?

He said they took some of their senior players off.

How did Bell go?

He chimed in with a few possessions

What the hell is going on?

Pedlar Pivotal

'Luke Pedlar again put his hand up for further midfield minutes this season, with a team high 9 clearances. SANFL head coach Matthew Wright highlighted his efforts after the game, "Luke has again stood out in an undermanned midfield, we were really happy with what he brings in there".'

 

[Huntercrow]

I really like the SANFL strip. Not sure about the “Balfours” reference. Hopefully doesn’t come back on them. For whatever reason it is there and who’s in the right, it’s a reminder to any future sponsors that it could be problematical dealing with the club. At least at SANFL level.

They appear to have removed this part.

Pretty sure Pedlar is in Perth? Maybe the writer was dreaming.

If this is true, they were probably editing an old file and forgot to remove this bit.

Did he make any saves?

Nice try.

Keep up. He explained over two past after this.

 

[CromradeCromulent]

One of the most fun parts of the SANFL is watching the tall forwards develop, needless to say Burgess wasn't doing that for me. Maley and Ludowyke certainly do though.

I'll make a prediction. Ludowyke in 3-4 years time will be better than Fogarty.

 

[spenze]

bigman what did you think of Maleys rucking?

Was it OK or good enough to chop out at a higher level? Also, how mobile was he around the ground?

I was surprised to see the Balfours logo on the front of the jumper.
A strange situation that one, I thought the club would have dumped them if they had to go to court over sponsorship
