Terrible weekend for vfa teams. Werribee almost but not quite. Great come back where actually hit the front. Williamstown getting closer but still winless. Coburg and Preston had shockers. Frankston not quite there. A weekend to forget.
Went to Preston City Oval. Game over half way through first quarter. GWS too fast slick and professional. At least the sun was out. Nice day on the hill
Frankston outclassed by Sandy. Williams not playing and then losing Walker in the second quarter didnt help. Dolphins lack height, and are desperate for one (or two) big key forwards who can take a few marks. Dont think Ive ever seen a team take as many marks inside 50 as Sandy did. Dunnell took 10 marks for the game -almost all inside 50 - Frankston would have been lucky to have that many for the day.
Their style of play isnt holding up against the better teams. They are not skilled enough to chip it around and kick it short - they were easy pickings for a much quicker Sandy.
Hoping for an improvement next week against Carlton at Skybus.
