Thought it might be good to have a thread for random comments on the games we're not involved in...

Last night both teams looked pretty average.

Tonight...can't see Harry staying forward for too long. The Cats defence is very average now that Enright's gone, they're not good enough to have Harry as a luxury forward.

Also, without 3rd man up they don't have a ruck combination that works. Selwood and Danger will be knackered at the end of the season holding this crew up.

And how good is it to see Roughy in full swing?  Colours aside, here's a man that would've gone through hell, like man, many others in less profile positions than him, but his fight and determination has seen him get back to the top of his game.

An inspiration.

Hawthorn look as composed as ever.

Geelong don't have a forward line.

Great to see Roughead back.

Sorry, but T-shirts??? 

They look like thugby players

Good to see Motlop pick up where he left off in September.

Agree. The Tommy Hafey look is just not right.

13 degrees in Hobart at the moment... perhaps Geelong were a little chilly

Game was played in Launceston, so it would've been balmy!

 

my apologies

always thought the university of Tasmania was in Hobart but the wonders of naming rights ... it is the old Blundstone Oval..no wait.. it was the old Aurora stadium or was that York Park

Hell perhaps it was in Antarctica and who is JLT

So the cats wore T-shirts tonight.

And LOST . Here endeth the lesson. 

Unless Melbourne wear T-shirts today.

It's my difficult task to present you with the JLT ladder as it currently stands showing Collingwood on top. 

Collingwood 1 - - 105 94 111.7 4
Hawthorn 1 - - 98 94 104.3 4
Geelong - 1 - 94 98 95.9 0
Essendon - 1 - 94 105 89.5 0

UTas has a campus in Launceston.

Launceston = York Park = Aurora Stadium = UTas Stadium
Hobart = Bellerive Oval = Blundstone Arena

Got a new jumper

Not saying anything we don't already know but GWS have a lot of great young talent.

As you can only play 22 on any given game, I would think that Stevie J, Griffen and even Delidio would not be guaranteed a game this year.

If they do get the nod ahead of some of the young kids like Taranto then they are hindering the kids development.

Interesting times ahead.

Apart form Tyson we have taken some GWS cast offs...maybe it's time to get into some these kids before they are established.

I spent a couple of weeks traveling around Tasmania over new years, bloody spectacular place.

kelly looks a gem, and taranto looks very promising.

Nasty hip injury to GC17's Sam Day - sucked on one of those sticks on ground the pain was so bad.

If he dislocated it, from first hand experience I can say it is very painful.

I understand BBO has done the same injury a few times...

St Kilda looking a bit scary early. 

And of course they play at Shitihad- why aren't they playing at a suburban ground like erryone else??

St Kilda suddenly look like a big team, slick ball movement makes them look formidable.

Saints are slick and quick.
