2nds Northern Blues 2019

[Jimmae]

Just terrible numbers from our smalls, but focussing hardest on the guys that have been around for a few years now;

Garlett - 6 possessions
Polson - 7 possessions
LeBois - 4 possessions

Not going to pick on Cottrell & Owies, as they're newbies, but those numbers from more senior players are simply awful.
Two won't be there at years end and one will only survive because someone must have liked him.

Garlett survives; Polson goes to the midfield and stays there.

Was the game televised?

It was on the club's You Tube page.

It was on the club's You Tube page.

In my experience televised/streamed games are quicker to have reports etc
The off air games players get away with a bit more.

No Stocker. Good test for Macreadie and Schumacher this week.

 

[Christou2Kouta]

That’s a much quicker side this week, far less top heavy. They have lost a bit of leadership but it will be interesting to see how TDK and Macreadie go with greater responsibility in the absence of Phillips and Goddard.

Finbar being managed again

Played a pretty hectic game in defence last week as a medium/small defender. There's not much of him, so I'd imagine running ragged at this stage neither helps his recovery, nor his ability to put on muscle.

If he can get his body up a notch in terms of strength and endurance, he could be an extremely versatile player.

No Stocker. Good test for Macreadie and Schumacher this week.

Pity about Stocker but good to see both Wheeler & FAnderson back in.
Macreadie, BSOS & Schumacher down back with no A. Johnson.

Is Flip injured?

 

[The Blue Weirdo]

Bewdy, Franks returned.

 

[GapInIkonPark]

No Johnson. Was he injured?

Real opportunity for Kerr to get a few senior games if he can get going again.

 

[SammaGilberto]

Is Flip injured?

Got reported and suspended, not sure what he did against Casey though.

[Blue and Blue]

The side looks a bit low on quality naturally enough. SOS and co still got plenty of list building to do.

 

[Bokan]

No Johnson. Was he injured?

Real opportunity for Kerr to get a few senior games if he can get going again.

Mentioned that he had soreness I believe on the northern blues website

[Robbo's my hero]

Looking forward to following this clash on Big Footy and Twitter.

Who's going today?

 

[happydude]

It still saddens me that Preston don't get to wear their colours anymore but being the Northern Blues is better than insolvency

No final team listed, but Owies was the travelling emergency so one from the bench drops from the squad (probably Strachan).

First goal to Palmer, then:

It's not that NB are controlling the game but they are making the most of their opportunities.
TDK doigg well in the ruck. Port looking very flat footed
