Blah-Blah Bar / Re: Rating the commentators
I think Jason Bennett who does the VFL and also did a bit while the Olympics was on is a Good commentator..articulate and concise..does his homework.

Robert Heatley Stand / Re: Northern Blues vs. North Ballarat at Ballarat on Sunday
 Heres a report I put on FB earlier.  Just home from the Northern Blues game in Ballarat today..Here are my thoughts. Score North Ballarat 14.14.98 to Northern Blues 8.15.63.
Firstly North Ballarat held the lead for most of the day and were a quiet impressive team who work very hard and use the ball well and move it quickly and surprisingly well skilled, they are not a tall side and probably lack some KP players to be a real contender in this comp.. Fitzy is a great coach.
Enough about them, The NB's had a few good moments but really were outplayed for the majority of the game. Firstly there was some guys missing, Waite as Jared reported didnt play, Buckley and Holman didnt play either.
The highlight of the game as far as Carlton is concerned was the form of Matthew Watson, he played forward and kicked 3goals 3pts including a poster, but the impressive part was how hard he worked and his lead up work and clean marking, I really think he should be given an opportunity to be played as a fwd for the rest of the season in the 1sts, easily the biggest shining light of the match.
I'll go through the rest of the blues players and put my thoughts, without knowing any stats.
Pat Cripps was Ok, thought he was quiet early but worked into the game used the ball pretty well, don't think his stats will be super impressive but he is definetly something to work with,,pace is not his strong suit though.
Armfield was patchy but did some good things kicked a goal generally worked hard though
Lucas was pretty good early and late in the game i'm guessing his stats will read ok, he's dead set sheep dog of a player and wastes the ball too often for my liking, I descibe him as a very poor mans Gibbs, comes in with the tackles but rarely puts his head over the ball 1st, but at least Gibbs uses it well.
Reynolds might be a player, he wasnt prolific but did a few good things including a nice snap goal.
Cam Wood was pretty good, the best ruckman on the ground, kicked 2 goals and did a bit around the ground, he's a better player than Warnock imo.
Garlett was pretty disappointing for mine, played midfield most of the game but was totally out worked by the roosters boys, he did gather a few possies and wasted it a couple of times,
but looks totally out of sorts and disinterested at times.
McInnes did a few good things but didnt have anywhere near enough impact on the match.
Sheehan and Byrne the Irish boys didnt do alot, although Byrne was the better imo..he's a nice build of a lad.
Temay.ordinary.
Of the NB's players Wilson tried hard, Cattapan was good Wilkinson was pretty good, Walton did a bit down back.
