Also an old wise head that understands the state of play. It was he who pointed out that only a draw was needed, and we just had to play keepings off.

Dogs took a while to adjust. They were setting up like we were going for the win when we had the ball, and were confused when we started milking the clock. They eventually worked it out that a draw was enough for us but by then we got to take quite a bit of time off the clock.

Playing for the draw was the right thing to do, and it suited the dogs enough too, but part of me wishes we had the fortitude to go win the game.

The 2nd last round of the VFLW season and the Blues face Geelong at Carlton.
The game starts at 12:05 on Saturday, which doesn't suit well: 3 game on at more or less the same time in 3 different players. It does minimize our support at each venue!

Our line-up:

B:   35 Harry Dean   47 Wade Derksen   23 Jacob Weitering
HB:   2 Lachlan Cowan   33 Lewis Young   14 Oliver Florent
C:   13 Blake Acres   9 Patrick Cripps   15 Billy Wilson
HF:   12 Ben Ainsworth   17 Brodie Kemp   44 Francis Evans
F:   39 Talor Byrne   10 Harry McKay   36 Cooper Lord
R:   27 Marc Pittonet   7 Jagga Smith   18 Sam Walsh
Int:   4 Oliver Hollands   29 George Hewett   11 Mitch McGovern   5 Adam Cerra   46 Matthew Cottrell
Em:   21 Lucas Camporeale   30 Jack Ison   28 Harry Charleson

Playing with your form is always fraught with danger. It certainly didn't help us back in the 90's.
But, it is what it is.
Charleson can't be too far away, to be Emergency again.

I wonder which of the Emergencies won't play VFL?

Big outs for us, Haynes has been important mopping up and intercepting, and his ball use is smart

I think with Young for Haynes, we are better balanced.

Last week i suggested Weitering come in for Haynes instead of Young, essentially whats happened now over 2 weeks.

Hope it works.
