No 11 is Matt Hanson...midfielder who will come under consideration by a few clubs in the mid season draft, not pretty but effective. Hanson had 6 Liston votes vs the NB's
last season so Fraser didnt do his homework very well in terms of stopping him this game.
Agree that Williamson and Stocker are the two who showed the most, Kennedy still doesnt look match fit, attacks the footy ok but isnt overly mobile for a mid and looks like he needs a season or two with Jack Russell to get some wheels.

Lang looks putrid. He will need a lot more time in the 2s to build up some confidence cos he looks shot right now. His pace and long goals could be a massive win for us but the way he's playing - he's about as far away from 1s as you can get.

Northern Blues   1.1-7   2.4-16   5.5-35   7.9-51
Werribee   5.1-31   10.3-63   13.7-85   17.7-109

Not happy. Not happy at all.

So disappointing to see so many players doing so little. Neither of the ruckmen. Not happy.

That's what happens when you drink Horlicks too early in the day. But maybe 7pm is your bedtime? 

Went full of expectation, left at half time because there is nothing worse than watching a team that is playing crap to start off with and then just becomes undisciplined and frustrated due to some exceptionally ordinary umpiring.

Williamson set the afternoon off by giving away a double goal due to undisciplined actions and it went downhill from there. Hard to assess Stocker as he had no support or structure around him. However he just does things that make you think that, in better company, he could do the job....a bit like Williamson when he was given his first chance. Young Finbar and Ben Silvagni are both victims of no development teams and are there purely for experience. Fasolo and Lang are not going to make it but Kennedy, with less attention in the main team, will be ok.

(All based on a full viewing at Vic Park and half a game today)

Anderson, Keppel and MaCreadie are very lucky to be in the best......I thought the kid Wheeler was better than all of them.

I suspect it was the beef and lobster burger and cheeky shiraz that I had for lunch 

I don't mind that from Willo.  Yes, it is undisciplined and unacceptable but it tells me that he is playing with passion.  He now needs to harness that passion and focus on getting the pill and stopping his opponent.  Once is enough though and I will be disappointed if he does anything similar in future.

Sounds like we did well just to have "best players"...lol.

Good sign that Stocker was our best.

There was one passage of play in the highlights package that might have been a look into our future (hopefully). Stocker took it from a centre bounce and kicked it long to BSOS who marked strongly in front of goal. Dont know if he kicked it but the passage looked good.

Sorry,  I ain't buying the argument "it's OK that they're crap because they cost nothing". Waste of time types,  they getting us nowhere.

We paid decent draft picks for all these GWS types and I ain't seeing a lot of world beaters.   I'd swap all these cheap half raters for one decent blow in. Quality trumps quantity.
