3/4 time and the Blues are 15 points in front. So far we have had some heartbreaks, but we are looking promising this time around.

Northern Blues: 11 - 10 - 76
Sandringham: 9 - 7 - 61

GOALS: Johnson 2, Menzel 2, Walsh 2, Watson, Bransgrove, Viojo-Rainbow, Wilson, Graham.

Watson and Casboult sharing the rucks and doing OK.

DISPOSALS: McGuinness 20, Strachan 19, Graham 17, Fields 16, Holman 16
Holman was quiet that quarter, but the ball seemed to be in forward line for much of the quarter. McGuinness and Fields, on the other hand, appeared to have a picnic.

Menzel off: he's played his required time. He had only 8 possessions, but kicked 2 goals. It would be safe to say that he won't be ready for next week.

Wonder why. Not as if he's coming back from a long layoff due to a bad injury.

That's an old fashioned losing culture!

How can we expect these players to tough it out at AFL level if we give them an armchair ride at VFL level?

There goes the lead!

Our partnership with Preston isn't raising them up, we are dragging them down!

Northern Blues: 14 - 12 - 96
Sandringham: 12 - 18 - 90

We almost stuffed it up in the last, but Sandy caught our kicking disease.  ;D ;D ;D

Don't know about the talent in the team, but there does appear to be some spirit at the moment.

Nick Graham kicked 3 goals and must have done his chances of getting a game next week a good deal of good.

GOALS: Graham 3, Johnson 2, Menzel 2, Walsh 2, Holman, Bransgrove, Wilson, Viojo-Rainbow, Watson

DISPOSALS: McGuinness 25, Fields 23, Strachan 23, Graham 22, Walsh 20, Holman 19

If Casboult and Menzel cant dominate in the 2nds there really is no hope.

Menzel was underdone and went off well before the end. He needs another couple of weeks to get his fitness and form back. If he is only kicking 2 goals and getting 8 possessions in 3 weeks, then he is trouble.
Casboult was rucking with Watson. He didn't get huge stats, but he could have played well enough. Certainly Watson got reasonable stats in the first half, just not near goal.

But you are right: if these guys are going to be recalled, then they should be pounding opponents in the VFL.
