A must win game this one: lose this and the finals are going to be very hard to get to.
Nice to see Ellard, McInnes and Collins back from injury. I am a little surprised that Graham didn't get a gig, but he is emergency.

Temay on the ball in the magoos magoos.
Is that just to get him more ball time?

I just think he is an average player and a ordinary draft selection....maybe he will be a sleeper like Kade Simpson was and will develop but at his size you have to be very very good
to make it in the modern game.
Seb Ross is a Stkilda player with some ability and I'll be interested to see how he goes.......good size and skills, would consider him if available for trade.

hard to play for them and Carlton in the one weekend perhaps? Im expecting him to play for seniors this week.
Half Time: Northern Blues 6. 10. (46) lead Sandringham 5. 3. (33)
GOALS: Collins 2, Robinson, Bell, Lambert, Wilson
STATS: Lambert 15, Ellard 14, Robinson 14, Joseph 12, Lucas 12
By the sounds of it Nick Graham is playing, not sure if Andy McInnes is though. Can anyone shed some light on this?

Thanks for this, much appreciated. :) :) :)
McInnes held over as Carlton emergency at Etihad in case of a last minute withdrawal.
Anyone got a score update. I'm old fashioned and technologically incompetent so I', not on twitter. ::)

Boys really need to play with some composure. Sandy with 4 of last 5 goals.

Thanks mate, keep it coming please. :)
So, what was the final score?
94-76.
Blues win.
good omen?
Good win. Sandy came hard in the last qtr kicking the 1st 3 of the term bringing them within 2 kicks, but the NBs steadied, eventually though still losing the last qtr by a goal.
Lambert, Meece, Bransgrove and Wilson were really good for the Preston boys.
Thought our best of the Senior listed players were (forget some of the stats and in no particular order):
Ellard - good return.
Bell - best game for a while - put his hand up.
ROK - good off HB. Strong. Seems to be doing a 2E role - being groomed to release 2E into the guts?
Davies - apart from mediocre disposal, once of his much better games off HB. Ran and linked up well.
Mitchell - Waste.
Casboult - took some good grabs and kicking has improved greatly. When chasing an opponent at one stage ran past Mitchell (who was also chasing) like he was standing still.
Lucas - might have had plenty of touches but ordinary decisions under pressure. Still skirting the packs for easy possessions.
Buckley - was he out there?
Joseph - good. Liked his game. Has improved.
Collins - did some classy things but way too little. No second effort.
Dale - given minding roles, especially on one of their most damaging players in the final quarter - did well, though still learning the caper in terms of defensive positioning.
Duigan and Laidler did not play.
Woops... forgot Graham - good, again, but looked a little tired at times. Tried up forward as a 'small forward' and looked likely, though on one occasion, running into an open goal tried to do the team thing with a cute pass to a team mate that went astray.
...and Robbo - was really disciplined and focussed. Took a terrific attitude into the game - good to see. Encouraging to team mates.
You'd look hard at, for a call up:
Robbo
Meat
ROK
Dinger
(interesting that all 4 have a dash of mongrel and are hard at it).

Agreed - well done mate.
I don't see a lot of the Northern Blues game but I check results. This Lambert bloke is always mentioned in the best. What's his history? Chance to get drafted?

I think he is a monty to be picked up. Just hope we are smart enough to do it.

Many thanks, Baggers. Nice to read something positive after yesterday's disaster. At least a few guys put up their hands to replace Judd next week.
It is really nice to see the Baby Blues winning because it does suggest we are not just a spiritless group of individuals.

Casboult has to come in for Rowe next week. Rowe hasn't been able to get a kick in and has looked terrible this last few weeks.
@Baggers
Thanks for your great report Baggers, very informative.
Robbo not in the best?
Thanks for the report Baggers. I wonder who'll come in for Judd and Garlett? I'd love to see how Graham goes in the seniors. What the hell has happened to Laidler? I was a massive fan of him and I can't understand why MM obviously isn't.
thanks for the report Baggers
thanks for the comments guys!
I learn heaps from the posts and the good thing is that we can be one-eyed and shoot-our-mouths off!
Apologies if I hurt anyone's sensitivities !

He played a defensive midfield role, similar to Cachia's role early in the season. He nullified his opponent and was a useful contributor and had plenty of ground time. Solid but underwhelming performance.

We should have drafted him last year before everyone else got to know about him.
Ellard - good return.
Not physically gifted but a fully committed footballer who should be in our best team - provides much more offensive productivity than either Curnow or Cachia - hope he gets another year after injury wrecked this one.
Mitchell - Waste.
His only good game for the season was in the Development League in the wet against Box Hill. Maybe he is a wet tracker. Maybe he should have played in the DL more often to allow him more game time and a chance to gain some confidence.
ROK - good off HB. Strong. Seems to be doing a 2E role - being groomed to release 2E into the guts?
I'd rather Gibbs be released into an attacking role more than Touhy to be honest.

Gibbs played well in the midfield when Murphy was out but has been back in defence since then to allow us to select multiple taggers - maybe its time to go and get the ball because we have been slaughtered in centre clearance the past two weeks.

If he is ever to make a midfielder, then there will never be a better time to try.
