I will be at this one. I didn't see a single minute of last week's game and that always p*sses me off.
As the VFL state game is on this weekend, the teams have a bye. However, as the Blues also have a bye NEXT week, the Blues and Werribee got together and organized a practice match On Sunday, starting at 1000 at Arden St. Teams have not been announced as yet.

I don't expect a lot of voting this week, but I hope we can get anyone who saw the game to put in their 2 cents worth.
Hard for me to comment on the Fremantle game as I didn't see any of it. However good or bad it was, we now to face North Melbourne at Etihad next Sunday evening and they appear to be finding some form. Hopefully we can learn from our mistakes and move forward.
This Saturday at Preston the Blues will play Sandy.
NORTHERN BLUES v. SANDRINGHAM
Round 6 - 20/05/2017

Preston City Oval
Northern Blues
B:5. B. Smedts, 43. S. White, 70. T. Williamson HB:37. H. Macreadie, 48. K. Jaksch, 13. C. O'Shea C:51. J. Lamb, 72. S. Kerridge, 62. B. Boekhorst HF:45. D. Thomas, 14. L. Jones, 49. D.

23P: 9. J. Corboy
This line-up looks about as strong as we can field in the VFL, but the 3 emergencies will almost certainly not be there. They will be making the trip to Perth, even though they may not play at all. Russell and Wilson will almost certainly play, meaning there WILL be a couple of guys running around on the development game. I doubt Buckley will be one of them: he has been playing well. Polson and LeBois are more likely.
Keppel and Pickett are out, which is pity.
Sandringham
B: 78. J. Baker-Thomas, 73. N. Coughlan, 1. D. Weickhardt HB: 75. B. Rice, 37. H. Goddard, 65. B. White C: 2. K. Answerth, 63. N. O'Kearney, 3. L. Verma HF: 32. J. Lonie, 36. J. Battle, 34. B. Long F: 62. R. Connellan, 16. M. Hayes, 9. M. Cook R: 69. J. Holmes, 33. N. Freeman, 76. N. Wright Int: 40. J. Bruce, 6. J. Fisscher, 41. D. Minchington, 71. L. Pierce, 49. J. Sziller, 7. C. Rich, 26. J. Wallace, 80. S. Savage
This week we play the Dockers on Sunday at 1640 in the afternoon, Melbourne time (1440 over in Perth). We will not be on free to air TV in Melbourne.
As a result I probably won't be voting on this game: I simply won't be seeing enough to have a decent opinion.
This is a danger game for us, not the Freo are THAT good (although they are improving), but that their drive comes from Sandilands. Kreuzer does not have a good record against Sandilands.
Not the result we wanted, mainly due to our own errors, although the umpiring did not help. Lots of good signs, but not quite enough.
