LOL. With Big O off and Maric resting on the bench, Petterd had to do the centrebounce ruckwork  .

38 - 65

[one-eyed]

Luke Conca misses from 15m out. Tried to grubber it through instead of snapping it properly on his left.

O'Hanlon long to a 2-vs-2 contest and Az Edwards stays down and gets one out of the back.

Elton looks like he's injured his shoulder in a friendly fire collision  .

Does this happen to any side more than us?

[one-eyed]

Petterd stands up in the tackle and gets a centering kick to Arnot who takes nice overhead contested mark. Goal 

We go forward from the centre bounce and Petterd marks on the lead 45m out. Misses though. That would've got us right back in it before 3/4 time.

BS free in front of the sticks to Werribee on siren gifts them a goal.

As dodgy the free, it only got down there because #59 or was it #69? for us couldn't bend over to pick up the ball on the wing.

Very soft effort by O'Hanlon in defence. Had the front position in the marking contest and just let the Werribee forward come over the top and take the mark out of his hands.

Maric chips it to Bathie 40m out. Misses.

Our play has really degenerated now. Some very slow and soft efforts looking for others to make the effort. 3 Tiger defenders looking at each other as a Werribee runs in and takes a uncontested chestmark  .

52 - 91

Petterd in the ruck again and it works lol.

Big Ivan marks it 35m out and goals.

Werribee   1.3   4.10   10.12   17.14-116

Goals: A.Edwards 2, Maric 2, Banfield, Arnot, Gleeson, Young.


Nothing to get excited about apart from Big Ivan getting through a full VFL game unscathed. We should have been at leats 5 goals up at quarter time but stuffed up every chance and from then on Werribee dominated apart from a brief rally from us late in the 3rd qtr.

Petterd the best for the Tiges. Played all over the park today including the ruck.

To top off a bad day, Big O and Elton (shoulder) went off with injuries.

This result far more relevent looking ahead than the flat track bully nonsense up in Sydney.
