Port v us
Bombers v tigers
I always have a soft spot for western suburbs clubs , especially Werribee this week, I will be into Bior at work about how the bombers cheat the system and how pissed off I will be if Werribee don’t win and he doesn’t kick 6.

Yep hope the Bees can win.

Good luck to Werribee. Hopefully they can knock out Essendon VFL.

We fell for the three card trick and let them crowd us when we were kicking with the wind but when they were kicking with it it was usually only ever them at the fall of the ball.

We used the wrong wing a lot when we attacked too. The outer wing on a windy day is the defensive wing because the ball gets blown around. We should have used the other wing because it's protected by the grandstands. Willy worked it out after halftime and kept the ball on the outer wing in the third and then used the attacking wing in the last.

It's basics, if the wind is pushing it to one side and long you attack from the side the wind flows from. In defence you go the other way. Did we really do the opposite of that?

I don't believe we did.

We lost the game due to lack of midfielders. Prudden was out early with an injury with what looked like either his shoulder or broken hand (hard to tell with the sling), Webb couldn't get a kick, West wasn't playing, the VFL player Scott was out. We were forced to play Gowers in the midfield for most of the game, and he actually did pretty well, and kicked a couple as well.

We certainly did. It was like we were the visiting team.

Totally agree - lost it in midfield. Hoping Jong is fit & can play on Sat. Pity game not on Sunday as those heading to Plastics vs Dogs will not be able to make it. Prudden has been a really good captain and we really missed him as well as West.
