I went to the game and the consensus prior to the start from about half a dozen people all was for a Werribee win by as much as 8 goals. But a very impressive performance from the Roosters smashed those predictions, with a 10 goal opening quarter. From then on in, it was simply a matter of by how far the North would go on to win. Very disapointing performance from Werribee, who just didn't seem that interesested, and failed to respond after 1/4 time when kicking with the wind.

Absolutly massive opening quarter by the Roosters - Trotter,Whyman,Dinnell and Le Cras attack on the footy had Werribee steping backwards and sideways. Poor performance by Werribee. however an 8 goal to 6 last quarter saw it possibly saved from being a 20 goal hiding. Interesting now that the Kangaroos season is over and North Ballarat will gain Ben Schwarze,Eddie Sansbury,Daniel McConnell & Andrew Swallow who have qualified playing next week vs Geelong - maybe North Ballarat can knock off Geelong?

Yeah that'd be right. Haven't watched it yet, listened to the first qtr on the radio but I suspect I'll see Werribee delivering it into Podsy repeatedly when he has two and three additional opponents to compete with. That happens even moreso the last couple of weeks without Jarrod Garth in the side. And of course the usual Werribee poor start. How many times under Simon Atkins coaching have they gotten 8 or 10 goals down in a game? They've gotten out of jail in a few of them but it stuns me that he doesn't have some tactic which can minimise the impact of opposition scoring. They've signed him for two years, good luck to him. As a footy club they've gone into two Grand Finals as favourites this decade and lost both. And they've made other finals series and fallen out before their time I would say in three of them. Underachievers I would say.

Extremely disappointing effort and it was even more upsetting for Travis Robertson who was chaired off after his last game.

Yeah, sad way to finish off, but I thought he too was one of those in the Tigers side that had their colours lowered today. I thought he was beaten by his opponent, and also turned the ball over on several occasions which proved costly. Did kick a couple of last quarter goals when moved up forward.

Yep, the way we performed in the last quarter was great and if we had played for the first three quarters in the same ways I definately think we might have been a good chance to get over North Ballarat.

North Ballarat can knock off Geelong no worries. Geelong will go out in straight sets. Like their AFL team Geelong are week when the pressure is on. Bullants will also lose and go out in straight sets. Huge percentage, one loss for the season, some big wins and big scores. All that means very little come September. Frankston will knock them off just like Willy did yesterday. Carlton will start their mad Mondayand do you reckon the AFL listed players give two hoots ? They will turn up and think it is a stroll in the park with no passion. The Dolphins are very passionate mob and will win to set up a beauty against Sandy in the Prelim. Geelong and Preston out in straight sets just like Phillipoussis.

Mark Phillipoussis is the most overated sportsmen ever. He brags as if he is the greatest. He is garbage and loses in straight sets. Both Geelong and Preston will be out in straight sets. Yes the dolphins would beat Phillipoustie and his old man.

I honestly don't see why you guys would want him, Dolphin.
