Re: Round 5 - Footscray Bulldogs v Port Melbourne

Prudden a really bad few minutes. Gave away the free kick that cost a goal, and then coughed up an easy kick.

NMM looks like we have something pretty decent to develop too, on top of English & Lippa who are contracted for another 3.5 years each.

What I've seen of him I like. I didn't see him until the 2nd quarter in this game.

English doing more work in the ruck this quarter and we've been better for it. He's a talent!

Roughy playing everywhere. Rucked, he's been in defence and been in the forward half.

Ripping mark by NMM.

Re: Round 5 - Footscray Bulldogs v Port Melbourne

Highlight of the day so far with NMM taking a big contested mark and converting from 30m.

Some great scrapping in the middle to win that ball and get it forward.

A poor kick from Collins - must have travelled 8 meters directly to the opposition - leads to a transition that costs us a goal.

Playing better than the score suggests. Some late goals drom sloppy play to Port kept them in it. Should have a 4 - 5 goal lead.

I wondered who that was. Overall he's been good today. Best I've personally seen him play.

Up by 8 points at half time. Considering the outs which have gutted Footscray's senior listed players, we're competing well. Great to see Roughy moving well.

He's played a standard Collins game, IMO. Some good, mixed with some howlers. That kick was park footy calibre.

Collins has clearly got to work on his disposal, which he will do, after last year was horrific for him injury wise. But his positioning looks much improved and his marking looks pretty too. I'm happy that he's slowly coming along, a guy his size with smarts and good hands will be a huge asset. But I guess his disposal is why he's playing VFL. So hopefully he can fix up some average kicks.

Heading off soon so won't see much more of this. Just want to add the most impressive thing abiut Wallis' game is his work rate. He'll get a possesion kick it forward and he'll be at the next contest. Time after time this happens, his tank is huge!

Yeah noticed all that as well. I've only watched 2 other games this season but he looks lots better than those 2.

Ripping start to the quarter. Clean handball from the middle leading to a streaming goal from 50.

So far Crameri has been poor.
