Garland subbed off for fellow Tasmanian boy Howe

We don't deserve to win this.

Yup.

We may well run it out better, but we've been the lesser side.

Monfries held off the contest and gets a soft free. would have had a shot anyway.

45 meters. Hits the post.

16 points to the bombers

Ess 84

v

Melb 74

Maric!!!!! That's what he was recruited for.

Maric!!!!!!! goal!!!!!!!

Jurrah creating from half back and then dunny gets it to Maric!

10 points down.

Bombers have 3 men injured. (why dont they just sub???)

LJ Torana involved again...Maric Goal.

Moloney and Trengove are leading our possessions. Sylvia and Grimes going well too.

3 Qtr time

10 points down last quarter. Certainly agree that we do not deserve to win, but might have the legs to run it out better.

Yup.

We may well run it out better, but we've been the lesser side.

I disagree. We have won two of the three quarters played so far and the game has run in ebbs and flows. Sure, they have played the prettier football, but we haven't stayed with them because of their mistakes (they aren't making many) and we haven't had the advantage of more frees (they are ahead on that score as well I would think), we have simply played good football in bursts.

Will run over the top of them. And if your in front at the end you deserve to win.

Maric playing for a spot, and doing well!

Not sure whether i want to win this one or not.

We do not deserve a victory so far....maybe at games end my mind will change.

Another magnificent umpiring decision.

Will run over the top of them. And if your in front at the end you deserve to win.

That is true. I should have articulated myself a bit better and said something along the lines of we are not playing great football and we have done a lot wrong. But if we win, we win.

i just heard "davey limping off with ankle or hammy". ours or theirs?

bombers by 16. must have missed a goal

ryder kicks another. bombers by 22

i just heard "davey limping off with ankle or hammy". ours or theirs?

Ours.

22 points now - game over. Off to scrubber ovals next week.

bombers 96

demons 74

Here come the injuries

Jones goes for a supergoal but is touched on the line.

Not sure whether i want to win this one or not.

I was thinking that. Even if by some miracle we won, we're not winning next week.

No Jamar, no demons... This will be his second season as our most important player.

That's ok though. If you're going to play Martin and Spencer I'd rather they did it now than in the real season.

Oh well. One more month of boredom.

Bail is pushed in the back but gets called for holding the ball

Davey is on for bombers. hope ours isnt hurt.

Maric scores another clever one.

15 points 8 mins gone.

no jamar ? did I miss something. Im not happy with this I know its the care factor cup but a winning culture breeds success and unlike previous years we have said we want to win yet with close to full strength we put in this tripe performance.
