And I nearly lost my voice after the 3rd. Thankfully with a little help from some amber fluid I was still able to communicate. But that's not always the way !

It was a great game and yes Davey was a big loss. I'm truly itching for Sunday arvo.

This game it otherwise known as the "worst-umpired game in history" for anyone who didn't recognise it by it's other title.

i hate not being able to sit in my regular spot at the 'g.. makes me feel at a distinct disadvantage

[Red and Blue Flame 179]

As we saw vs Sydney, last time they met means absolute diddly squat.

Expecting a close one if Chip plays. I really think we'll win. One stat that will decide the game. Stoppages. If we can actually win the stoppages this week, then we'll go a long way to winning. the hawks use their skill around the clearance and move the ball fast- they aren't fast, so if we can nullify this then it's our game to be won!

Jurrah, Watts to fire this week and Dunn and Green to kick straight!

That was a significant factor ~ !

Funny thing is that when I look back, I think of every game we've lost (or even drawn) as the "worst-umpired game in history".

Strange about that WJ !
