Hi all, looking forward to interacting with you all today on this perfect Prospect day for football.

An exciting game in the reserves, the Roosters controlled most of the game before the Magpies mounted a last quarter comeback.

In the end, North held on for a close win, well done Roosters...


Reserves Final Score:

North - 17.8 = 110

Port - 14.9 = 93

Roosters win by 17 points

Pollock kicked 5, Max Thring 3, Dempsey, Wooding 2, Hill & Hill, Young, Connors and Moore 1 each

[RM]

No radio killing me in the country, so well done you guys. Cant believe how much you miss radio/TV coverage.

No worries RM, our pleasure mate...

It's good fun but we both realise how much easier it is to commentate a game verbally than type it, I tell you that much !!!

Just go and get Wedgie off the juice just to the right of you guys to give a hand!

[Big Phil]

Ball in the middle for the start of the 2nd quarter, Meiklejohn and Ackland go at in the ruck contest...

A free to Jimmy Allan takes the Roosters into attack where a flying shot on goal from North goes out of bounds on the full...

Ball up on the back flank for the Maggies, Jimmy Allan gets another free kick, from 55m out, roosts it into the forward 50 where it is thumped through for a rushed behind...

Good defensive work from the Rooster forwards sees the ball out of bounds at half forward for North...

[johntheclaret]

Another to Alleway.

[Dog_ger]

Great job Guys.

[The Sleeping Giant]

Is 3 tackles to North, 13 to Port a good thing or a bad thing. Are North getting to the ball first?

[PhilH]

Looking around probably one of the bigger crowds I have seen at Prospect, If it is less than 3,000 I would be very surprised

Port struggling to clear out of defence, after about 4 tries Thring Marks centre win,

Mercer marks and looks to clear

Ends up centre wing Members side

Backwell finds Stewart on 50, kicks to top of square.

Gill crumbs, finds White who kicks to Alleway 30m out

And ALLEWAY KICKS HIS 3rd GOAL

North have kicked 4 of last 5 I think

Roosters 5.3.33
Port 3.4.22 ....... biggest margin of match so far.

[dedja]

LOL, I wish I was at Propsect watching the two Phils trying to keep up ...

Well done boys ... keep it up

[Big Phil]

Alleway's 3rd goal sees the Roosters out to 11 point lead...

Ball back in the middle, Ackland gives a free away to Meikleojohn where the Maggies go into attack. The ball over the back of the pack sees Butcher attempt to soccer it through...

He misses and North eventually get it out of bounds where after the throw in, a free kick is awarded to Port's Sam Gray about 40m out in front of goal.

His shot on goal goes throught the middle, six points to the Maggies.

7 minutes in...

North - 5.3 = 33

Port - 4.4 =28

[The Sleeping Giant]

Lucky we have the 2 "biggest" nerds on the job.

[PhilH]

Much needed steadier to the Magpies,

Five points the margin early stages 2nd quarter

Miecklejohn the tap straight to Backwell who handpasses to Thring

Kicks to Norths fwd 50 where there is a scamble

Port clears good work Clinch under pressure via Harder into Ports 50 BUT Thring repels to Allen

[Big Phil]

Roosters head up the outer side wing and into attack but Slattery for Port is able to clear not before great defence by the Roosters at half forward forces a boundary throw in...

Port clear from the throw in and head into attack down the members side wing but the Roosters mop up through McIntyre and clear defence for the time being...

[RustyCage]

Port need to tighten up in defense. North forwards seemingly too tall

[Big Phil]

Lucky we have the 2 "biggest" nerds on the job.

Feel free to come and join us mate, increase the 'Geekiness'

[The Sleeping Giant]

It's Allan. Geez after 2 medals you'd think people in the "media" would get it right.

[PhilH]

I take that as praise TSG

North struugling to clear out of their defence, Thring finally kicks to centre wing outer side

11mins gones, North by 5

In the tea saucer Ivens and T Armstrong to win the ball get it to the running Ryswyk
who gets it to Bennett
from 50 kicks over the pack

Alleway with PACE (??) gets there first snaps and missses

[Big Phil]

Port making a mess of it from the point kick out, North force a ball up - great forward defensive pressure from the Roosters...

Port attempt to get it out of defence but Thring, playing really well, pumps the Roosters back in 50...

The ball spills over the back of the pack and Jimy Allan reads the play perfectly to crumb and snap his first goal and take North's lead out to 2 goals...

14 minutes in:

North - 6.4 = 40

Port - 4.4 = 28

[PhilH]

Allen, Allan ,,, count the typos for us, worst offender is buying the other a beer at games end.

Millera shoots a goal back to a 6 point margin

PORT 5.4.34
