That's a given, HB. If it was "through hand", it would be a point...

So, roughly half...? (Give or take...)

Maybe. Maybe not -- given LJ can play as effectively as any "small", and has been touted as a future midfielder (when not actually in the Ruck)...

Excuse me??!!! Get your priorities right, Sport! DL needs you!!

Why is everyone doubting Andy's word?! Of course it's true! Just as this is true...

6 of the 9 first round games finished, and we're STILL on top of the ladder!

Yes. good to get a win. The thing that got to me was that, every time the ball was bobbing around on the ground amongst a group of players, it was pretty much a for-gone conclusion that a Freo player would emerge with the ball and clear it out of the congested area! Our ball handling in those tight areas just seems SO clumsy...

The old enemy getting beaten warms my heart at any time of the year. But, especially sweet in Round 1. Now, the Dees just need to win to make it all perfect!!

He's laying low with some character called "General Soreness"...

Maybe they're just getting ready for the day when they stick names on the back of jumpers. Need to be sure the name will fit! LOL

A little extra LEVERage, huh? Very droll, Mr ET!

Clearly, he will need to set his alarm clock for much earlier in future. Simply not good enough to let us down like that! he should give himself a good slap!

So sorry to hear several guys went to the (not insignificant) effort of getting all the way out to Casey, only to be disappointed! Just wanted you to know that we DLers really appreciate the effort. Your reports are always devoured by those of us far away supporters. Just sorry you weren't able to deliver today, due to no fault of your own! Please don't let it discourage you from future forays down the Hwy...

Stop it, Poita!! You are being FAR too logical and sensible! Give yourself a good slap!

Well said, 58er!! Agree totally.

Also wonder if Ben Brown had any influence in having the Dees consider him?

I seem to remember the same thing, WJ. In fact, think that pic of him in the MFC article in a Dees Jumper is from that match.

Thanks, PF. Really appreciated seeing your excellent report pop up. Such a refreshing change from some of the endless drivvle on this site of late! Just one question, re your comment about Nietschke being a ruckman. You being serious? I've no idea what position he plays, but ruck wasn't one that has ever entered my head. Can you elaborate?

Sorry. I know I've come in at the end of this thread. But, are we still talking about Eddie?? Didn't know he was a sailor!

Well done, guys! MUCH appreciated!!

I want whatever you're on...!!

Well done, Stinga. Was beginning to think we had no shows today...

Sarcasm?? On DL?? Never!!

So, what happened to the DL drones?? Someone shoot 'em down??

Now THAT would be letting the cat outa the bag...!
