S. Buckley's incompetence sees North Ballarat get a free kick and a goal through Austin.

We seem to be suffering from wanting to get game time into all of our talls, as we are too top heavy. And we are just bombing it down there, with very little system at all.

God Our Kicking is Shithouse and if this keeps up we will be Flogged

Lacking smarts in the middle - insufficient run and kicking in hope.
Wood and Young doing ok.

Ferraro is Blair like!

Underlines the need, in my view, for a side in the VFL Reserves (a 3rds team, if you will). Allows us to split the list between teams.

Have been impressed with Gault. His he related to Rod Gault?

How is Nathan Brown going?

Quiet so far. Made a costly mistake in the goal sqaure in the 1st quarter which cost us a goal. But partly redeemed himself with a great mark in defence in the 2nd term. Got a big round of applause for it, too.

Could you imagine what that standard would be like? They be better off playing in a suburban league.

If we are being honest, there is not one Collingwood midfielder currently playing in the VFL that looks like having any AFL potential.

Our best player is Johnno and after that you would have to say that it is Ricky Ferraro.

I can't see how Young will ever make it as a player. His kicking is atrocious.

How long has Luke Rounds been on our list now? He looks like he should be a player, but he seems to lack something.

Our talls are competiting well, but they have no composure. Gault can move, but it is far too early to tell whether he can make it.

Why is Shae playing? A, we have too many talls, and B, he is taking the spot of someone else we could be getting some game time into.

Good to see Browny back though. He gifted them a goal in the first qtr, but has done ok since. Will need to play at least another 4 games in the VFL before he is ready to be considered for the seniors.

True. But you would pre-dominately play the rookies and top-up players in the 3rds team, and play the guys most likely to get senior call-ups in the 2nds.

It would really be more about maintaining continuity in our systems and structures than anything else...
