Game Review
A tight game in windy conditions saw the Blues record an 8 point win against the Roos and might have been more had they not wasted opportunities through poor kicking for goal.Nick Stevens won 24 disposals in the midfield. David Teague, Matthew Lappin and Cory McGrath played well in defence.
