Finals wk1

[doggies40]

Looks like it will be
Port Melb v Werribee
Williamstown v Nth Ballarat

Only put those two up cause we have people interested in both Werribee and Williamstown.

Should be two awesome games, would be nice if both teams won, and will be interesting to see if they are played on the same day(im hoping 1 is played on sat, and the other on sunday)

Woohooo, may see if i can go to both games.

Not good for Williamstown having to play all the way in Ballarat, but thats footy i guess.

I got from the VFL Website too. Someone at the website must've initially entered incorrectly.

Both on Sunday it appears.

Which will you pick Mel?

North Melbourne Listed Players
Seniors
29.Goldstein- struggled at times in the ruck against McLaren and Fanning, but still managed to be effective around ground as a tall option. Shared ruck duties with McIntosh, finishing with 18 hit outs and 16 disposals.

30.Greenwood- didn't get much of the ball at all, but I think he was one of Werribee's better players for his defensive efforts (4 tackles, 6 spoils). Was just beaten by a side that dominated all over the ground.

32.Ross- performed well in a disappointing team effort and I don't think he was completely beaten, played a good midfield game. Had the second most tackles (6) of any Werribee player. Accumulated 15 disposals and 4 clearances.

33.Brown- switched between the forward line and midfield with good effect. Helped to set up some goals, but also provided height and run along the wings. Finished with 16 disposals and a goal.

34.Davies- today's performance was down on his usual ball magnet style of play. Did not stop running but was stopped in his tracks by opponents a number of times. Nowhere near his usual 20+ disposals, could only rack up 12 this week.

36.Scott Thompson- after a super performance against Williamstown last week, was well beaten by the Port Melbourne forwards. Kicking let him down a number of times, but managed to have 17 disposals.

40.Obst- played in his usual defensive position at full back, but struggled to hold down power forward Bonaddio. Defensive pressure and general work rate was good. Had 12 disposals and 3 spoils.

45.Warren- recalled to the side following Riggio's suspension for rough conduct, but was quiet during his stints in the forward line. Was well held by Port Melbourne's defence and held a good mark in the last quarter.

70.McIntosh- somewhat controversially dropped from the North Melbourne side that went up to Sydney. Rotated with Goldstein in the ruck and in most instances, gave the Werribee midfielders first use. Showed no signs of poor fitness or injury and finished with 16 hit outs/14 disposals.

Michael Barlow, with 28 disposals and three goals was one of the few Werribee players who could hold his head high in what was a disappointing team performance.

Robbie Castello again did the hard yards and applied plenty of defensive pressure as he laid a team high nine tackles.

Pods was disappointing in front of goal with three behinds and visibly upset with the loss afterwards.
