Strong mark from Patrick McCarthy from the kick in.

Great forward pressure from the Blues and a great goal from Rhys to put us 13 points up!
Great final quarter from the Northern Blues. David Ellard on fire. 3 last quarter goals.
 
Game over
16.7 (103) - 11.13 (79)

Great final quarter from the Northern Blues. Really dug deep and were prepared to put up a fight, which caught the werribee tigers off guard.
David Ellard - B.O.G for me, put his body on the line all day. Final quarter, single handedly brought us back in it. 3 goals in the final term.
Rhys O'Keeffe- Hard at it all day, continued to put his body on the line.
Luke Mitchell was well held all day but didn't let it get to him, which is a positive sign from the youngster. He kept his head up and increased his pressure and finished off the game better than he started.
Dylan Buckley- was fairly quiet all day, didn't see too much of the ball, but really lifted his intensity in that final quarter, kicking some nice goals.

Just need to get McCarthy on Stuart Dew's diet for a month or two.
Better handballer than Mitchell and Watson after he picked it up off the deck and didn't turn it over. Watson and Mitchell almost throw the ball into the air before they knock the ball away. :eek: :)

McCarthy could be a lead up forward/second ruck once he fills out. Pretty mobile for a tall.
 
Great team effort Northern Blues
Enjoyed the stream, now can get back to AFL on Fox.
One game observations only, from a Blues list perspective.
McCarthy a keeper will be a gun....soon
O'Keeffe solid great utility depth to have on rookie list
Mitchell....understand why has not had a game yet. "It" is all there, but needs game time.
Buckley....potential
Bootsma....more potential
Carter......saw enough to suggest enough for rookie retention. Particularly as a small lock down defender.
AJ.....have supported strongly, but no more poise at lower level....hmmmmm
Davies...solid at best
Lucas....too many question marks for mine, if he is the player many claim he should have more input.
Russell, Thornton, Bower....all handy, but agree with consensus, nothing to alter this seen today.
Collins.....keeper
Ellard....top 22 player, but who the hell do we leave out. Bell should be a lock and was sub.
Hi TG :D
 
Surely if Robbo is out this week then Davey has to come in. ..

hbf put that forward here last week and said that if Warnock did play it would have been under duress.
So much for "In the Mix"

Bootsma will make for a terrific wing-man, capable of playing offensive and negating roles.
It will be nice to have a 191cm mid.

Is Bootsma related to this guy. ..

great to see McCarthy showing some signs after being moved forward.

He was one I was keen to see during the nab cup earlier in the year but couldn't find his way into the games as a backman.

What a draft 2010 could end up being: Watson, McCarthy, Mitchell, McInnes, Duigan, Curnow.
