Veteran ruckman Todd Goldstein proved himself a class above the level again on Sunday but couldn't do enough to get North Melbourne home against Box Hill on Sunday.

The Roos lost by five points, but 'Goldy' did his bit with 35 hitouts, 28 disposals, 11 marks and five clearances.

Aaron Hall was in his usual ball-magnet mode, finishing with 43 disposals and 11 marks, while Hugh Greenwood was also honest to his bullocking self with a game-high 13 tackles to go with 24 disposals, seven clearances and one goal.

Kayne Turner kicked two goals from 16 touches, Blake Drury slotted one from 12, Phoenix Spicer one from 10 and mid-season draftee Robert Hansen jnr booted one from 13 disposals.

Charlie Lazzaro (27 disposals, five tackles), Will Phillips (24, six clearances), Will Phillips (24), Aiden Bonar (19) and Miller Bergman (18) were all busy, along with Kallan Dawson (14).

I assume nothing from Edwards again?

The number of bye's is an issue with the comp. It really needs to get parity with the AFL and run as a proper reserves or at the least run an even number of teams to avoid this issue. A professional league should be able to rely on a proper seconds league.

 

[ferball]

Its good we finally cloned Will Phillips. If it holds LDU is next and then we can work on a new Wardlaw with super hammies.

I assume nothing from Edwards again?

5 disposals. Won a few taps in the ruck but didn't always go to our guys.
He's all arms and legs, gangly. Maybe needs to fill out to get coordinated.

[The Nostradamus]

Bonar and hall managed the week after a bye?

 

[AnUltimateRessie]

This will be a tough one. Funny to see Nick Stevens listed as an out and on the interchange

 

[hellas_johnny]

Disappointing to see bonar perez and hall all out. Gonna be a tough game. Although good to see a taller team. Tucker sellers and keogh all in

 

[roos_fanatic08]

With those outs I Can’t see us getting within 40 of Werribee they are a well oiled machine

 

[Ischenko]

Good to see Tommy Powell back. Hopefully a few senior games to end the year. VFL watchers what is Bergman being asked to work on? Or does he need more size before he can play seniors for a full season?

I think that it is about looking after his development, both physical and game sense wise, in a season where we need to have a look at senior level for a few others before making a final decision on their futures.
