Noted. I watched him a few times last year and he just seemed to get lost with what appeared to be a run with role. Looked ok with the ball and going fwd but got caught out often not being able to go the other way. Here is hoping he is up to his role and helps us get better.

Stuie?

Dons mates call the Ess list manager "No Deal". They think he is a goose who over rates the whole list and cost them rather than brings value.

Maybe he is going to take over the Warrnambool boxing sessions to toughen Wattsy up? Not a fan, he doesn't seem like he gets enough pill, doesn't look like he uses it that well and then seems to get turned around going the other way. Here is hoping he improves, is he a direct replacement for Cross role? (Not comparing them)

Would have thought it doesn't matter what he was, but what he becomes. From the limited number of rehab info/footage floating around he looks like he is really looking to get as ready to go as possible. With both physical and mental growth trying to be achieved. Can't wait to see how all of Frosty, Trenners and 'Trac get back amongst it.

Loss inside 3 days by the looks of it. Very little backbone in the batting order.

A was literally just telling the TV to bring Lyon on. Bang Root throws his wicket away. Massive end to the session, we need to finish them up quick smart. This could be wrapped up inside 3 days one way or the other.

Fark me Mitchy goes bang bang!!! What a nut to get Johnny B! I genuinely love the shocked look on little Johnnys face when he gets out.

Hoping we knuckle down and get the eye back in early after lunch then really push on before tea. Poms will get some reverse later on. Bucky needs to get another 100, couple of hooks and Voges, Nev big support roles. Bring on our lefty attack!!!

Yup bang, Finned!!!

Holy cow!!! The poms are on the gold coin this morning. Plenty of good nuts, Clarke getting lucky. Bucky is looking good again. We need a massive stand from these 2 now or it could be all out today.

JJ didn't get to watch as much as I wanted to this year, to be fair I didn't push the late nights to much until the last 3 days. Froome was so far in front it seemed impossible for him to be caught. Sky and Froome clearly the dominate team and rider this year. Their grinding style works a treat but sucks the life out of it. Froomey does nothing for me so really struggled to stay involved until the last 3 days even though he has a brilliant high reving technique. Hurry little Q tip to mature, I love watching him ride he is a little freak.

Great nut Anderson. Tough start, overcast, grass, seam. Rodgers under a cloud, would you bounce him? Wowee could be a cracking test match.

Watto to the rescue, oh right it's Watto.. Shocking start to day 3. They look quick and accurate with the ball in hand. Stark contrast to us. Will need a huge fight back to draw let alone win it.

Fell asleep, Ali did some damage. Watto needs to stand up!

Rodgers looks set for another innings just over 50. Smith just getting the eye in gearing up for another ton. Pitch looking like its flattening out again, Ali bowling will be interesting.

We look really flat to be honest, here is hoping we show a bit of grit with the club in hand.

Going to be tough from here to win it, if Anderson can get the old ball to reverse we could be in trouble.

Already is a big let off, he looks so comfortable. The batsmen out would be so disappointed, dead wicket and in the main poor poor bowling.

Bloody Haddin dropped root too!!!

Poor start from the bowlers..... Cook Gawn!!!!

Harris is a big loss already. His line and length is sorely missed.

Come on Aussies!!! But thought Marsh would have come in for everyone's mate Watto.

Not just Dees fans. Went with Hawks fans to that game and they were genuinely disappointed he was not going to play.

Tough start for Porte, the Spanish guy is hard enough to beat let alone giving him 20 seconds in stage 1. Good luck Ritchie!!!
