Game Review

A young Blues outfit were completely outclassed by the emerging Saints, who took over from the second quarter and pounded goal after goal against us after half time in the pre-season fixture.

The Coach, Brendon Bolton, would have a lot to focus on before the third and final JLT Match.

Game Review

The Blues lost to the Dockers by 21 points over in the West.

A stronger team at selection, the Blues kicked the first 2, but gradually fell behind the Dockers who were more polished in the middle and up forward.

New Blue Jarrod Pickett was particularly impressive with clean hands, a nice mark and 3 goals.
