No individual stats at half time. GeelongVFL tells me they will update at 3QT

@GeelongVFL: .@NB_Roosters pile on another as the margin widens to 19. NB 39 GEE 20, 19 mins into the third #VFLRoostersCats #PJVFL

 

[Daniel McL]

Excited to hear how the guys went from posters on here who actually went to the game as Twitter is giving us nothing & it doesn't sound good from the score :/

 

[Daniel McL]

@GeelongVFL: A goalless third quarter. North Ballarat still hold a fairly tentative lead, 5.10 (40) to 3.3 (21). Looking for a strong final term!

@GeelongVFL: Menzel takes a FLIER in front of goal!!!.....but it's shanked to the right. NB 40 GEE 22, 2 mins in #VFLRoostersCats #PJVFL

 

[Daniel McL]

@GeelongVFL: .@NB_Roosters are the first to hit the scoreboard in the final term. NB 46 GEE 22, 5 mins in #VFLRoostersCats #PJVFL

 

[Zouz Kitty]

Not Menzel's day

 

[Munich]

Not Menzel's day

It's irrelevant really though, that he gets through unscathed is the main focus, anything else is a bonus.

Everyone knows he's a footy genius.

 

[dazbroncos]

Yeah but its good for Menz to have a day that is not all beer and skittles.

Not that he needs a reality check - but perhaps we all do - just to remind us that while its the story of the year that he is back playing top level footy - there will be down times too and the expectations of his return and effect on the that return need to be tempered.

Go Catters

@GeelongVFL: Siren sounds on a bleak day.

Final scores: North Ballarat defeat Geelong 11.10 (76) to 4.5 (29)

#VFLRoostersCats #PJVFL

 

[Zouz Kitty]

A bleak day indeed for our VFL

Edit: Scratch that! As those who are wiser said, we know Menzel is a footy genius, he's through another game unscathed + we need to temper our expectations (well I do) + it's another great run for our players returning from injury.

 

[JUBJUB]

Lost by 47pts

Still a bees dick of a chance in making the finals as Casey,8 pts and 26% ahead,are 10 goals down at 3/4 time

Wish I'd have thought with such clarity Well said Munich, I needed that reality check Very, very true, we know he's a footy genius + he's unscathed
