If NOBSPC was a racehorse the stewards would be asking some serious questions of its trainer after its form reversal this week. Of course with football teams it is never that simple as we all know. We were undermanned in the midfield, kicked against the wind in the first quarter, but to be honest just didn’t put in hard enough away from a home track.

Shepherd was again our best player, while Holland was a good contributor, along with new recruit Byrne in a largely forgettable game.

We have 2 weeks to get ready for another away game at Bulleen Templestowe. The stewards will be watching that one with a lot of interest.
