For the penultimate time in 2018 the Blues will face the foe. Hopefully we can improve on last week's effort. At least I'll be there to see it.

[1.5] Patrick Cripps
[1.5] Jacob Weitering
[1.5] Ciaran Byrne
[1.5] Caleb Marchbank
[1] Ed Curnow

[0.5] Harry McKay
[0.5] Tom de Koning
Explanations:
[3] Kade Simpson: Simmo was brilliant today and slaughtered his opponents and provided great drive from defence.
[1.5] Patrick Cripps: Not Crippa’s best game today, but it would be nice if got even 10% of the holding free kicks he deserves to get.
[1.5] Jacob Weitering: An excellent return and a good effort in defence. The Dogs’ forwards didn’t get a sniff.
[1.5] Ciaran Byrne: Gradually getting back to some decent form, even with a couple of turnovers. He took out his opponent and provided a lot of drive from defence.
[1.5] Caleb Marchbank: Probably his best game for the year. He took 11 very good marks and played a much more constructive game.
[1] Ed Curnow: Not Ed’s best, but he tried hard and got the ball a lot.
[1] Sam Rowe: Really did a job on the Bulldog tall forwards.
[1] Jed Lamb: A few mistakes, but overall and excellent effort.
[1] Lochie O’Brien: Possibly his best game so far and his kicking was great. Still don’t ike the way he chases.
[0.5] Matthew Lobbe: Did a pretty good job in the ruck, but his inability to get hitouts to advantage hurt us a lot. Big heart, but the future does not look impressive.
[0.5] Daisy Thomas: A solid effort at halfback with some nice runs from defence.
[0.5] Harry McKay: Too some good marks and looked too good for his man.
[0.5] Tom de Koning: Tom should be happy with his first up performance.
Honourable Mentions:
Charlie Curnow: Did have a big day but made a contribution.
Marc Murphy: Not a great day by Murph, but he did keep at it.
Team C- (pretty good endeavour all day)

I reckon a few of you had better watch a replay.
Weitering was diabolically bad...
Team: B
One of the seasons better efforts - Dogs had been in good form and we had the usual handful of passengers - this week - Lang, Murphy, Polson, SPS, ...

Windscreen? Who is Windscreen?
I reckon you had better get your eyes tested or don’t you ever wonder why your votes are out of sync with most other folk ;)
Everyone sees the game differently and that’s why we’re supposed to refrain from commenting on the way other folk may vote :)
