[perrdan86]

We need to go after Busslinger

He look that good? Is he a KPD or more like a Sis 3rd tall style player?

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

I turned it off

 

[VandoHawk]

Bennetts takes a massive grab but misses

 

[VandoHawk]

Dogs kick one even though Lobb should have been called HTB.
Great fight back.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Reeves silver service down the throat of Cavarra who snaps it. Back to 13.

FT | WB 10.13 73 to BH 9.6 60
Footscray had a lot of AFL listed players out there so I'm proud of the effort. Our skills were nowhere near good enough but we kept fighting and almost pinched a draw through sheer will alone. Max Hall and Callum Brown played great games.

Serong was our BOG. His kicking skills stood out when everyone was butchering it. Has a good mix of offensive and defensive craft.
Phillips is a wall when the ball is in the air, taking many intercepts. Looks nervous when it hits the ground.
BMac is getting back to his best, using his pace offensively but also to close down his opponent.
Reeves may not do much around the ground but that silver service is something to behold. Gives our midfield first use 80% of the time.
Ramsden well beaten by Gardner.
Tucker has good ruck craft but is invisible as a forward, and not strong enough to ruck solo.
Bennetts links up really well. Very crafty.
Down day for Sully, turned it over too much.
Ryan was great with his efforts but uncharacteristically butchered it by foot.
Chad hit the scoreboard but fairly quiet. Only played 3 quarters.
Hustwaite was having a good battle with Sanders but didn't play after HT.

The never gave up... if only we had switched on a bit earlier.

Anyone know what happened to HH? (Ie why he didn’t play after half time)

 

[Walshawk]

Anyone know what happened to HH? (Ie why he didn’t play after half time)

Probably rested in case of a late AFL injury and he needed to be our sub.

 

[Dewnior]

I’d bring Serong straight back in next week. Not really sure why he was dropped.

Possibly because the coaches don't think he's AFL ready yet. Same goes for Ramma.

You simply can’t win with that many turnovers I thought the score line flattered us. Like Serong didn’t take much else from the hawthorn listed players
