Pies v North Ballarat coverage?

I hear the word 'plodders' mentioned and I think that just about sums it up.

Dissappointing day on many levels and I am too tired to go into too many details. But here is a quick rant...

Chris Dawes not making the distance from inside 50 is very dissappointing. I have seen this kid casually slam through 60m bombs and can not understand why his confidence is so low. But he is working very hard and it should not be long before he gets a bag and sets the ball rolling. Nuts Coventry kicked the vaste majority of his 1299 goals at Victoria Park and it would be a good start to get some games relocated so the kids can get a feel for what the jumper they wear really means.

All bar four players were from the AFL list, but the instability and lack of team balance is glaringly obvious. Blame coaches, players, whatever you like. The underlying structure of the VFL side is all wrong and needs to be changed urgently.

Wellingham has been played out of form drifting between AFL and VFL and missing games. Presti and Fraser are doing training drills. And where were K Pendles, Ryan Colbert and Nigel Carmody? Three of our best contributors over the last few weeks.

Some pics from today

ther umps looked like they were about 12 years old.

does anyone know what happened to dyas? it looked like he jarred his knee, was down for a while but managed to walk off the ground even though he was assisted by trainers.

Any reports on J-Mac & Presti?

you left early. you are not a true supporter.

frost will benefit from the year with better skilled team mates but looked a little like a headless chook at times. he was not overly alone though.

on the day, someone said that north ballarat never wear white shorts.

I thought exactly the same thing.

Talk about a clash. Surely the Roosters should have had white AWAY shorts on. The black socks on all 88 legs didn't help either.

As I said earlier, it was a shit of a day that gave me the shits literally. The Pie I got at half time completely cleaned me out.

Sand filled pot holes are all over that crappy ground. Just the thing for an ACL or a rolled ankle too.

The toilets are filthy too.

At least a team wearing black and white won!

Given the jumpers being worn it would have made sense for NB to wear black shorts, Collingwood probably should have worn white shorts but looking at those pictures doesnt look like much of a clash anyway due to the different designs

Josh looks like a freakazoid in the top pic.

A good start would be www.google.com.au , and then search for VFL scores.

Yes, you're correct, I am not a true supporter. I had a chuckle to myself as I left too. But fortunately for myself (not having to endure too much of that pain) I had other things to do at home. Oh the lives of the fulltime worker!!!
