Redleg

Up on the Gold Coast and Pacific Airshow on for next 3 days right in front of my balcony. Gee those guys can fly, really scary to watch.

Daisy, the first one that came to mind was Really Pathetic Foolish Clown, but I didn’t post it, as it might have upset him, so I settled for Resolute Peerless Football Club.😉

Cripps threw the ball at least 3 times and dropped it twice when tackled and Dow threw the ball with both hands up high and no free, nor comment from the broadcast. Max blocked in most obvious block I have seen, front on, with 30 seconds left, which stopped him getting back for a mark. Yet they pay slight arm touches. Again nothing from commentators. Probably 9 holding the ball frees to 2 in their favour.

Look at the full front on block on Gawn, running back to take a mark, twenty out from our goal seconds later. Put him on the ground. Player ran at him and knocked him over, off the ball. Umpire was right there. Most blatant free of the night not paid.

Are they dividing princes park into farms now?

If only. Would be the get of the off season. No chance.

Yes, well he needs to shut down the circus. He is more bitter than uncle.

Mine tasted like cordial.

But it takes people to ask them to do it first.

More [censored] from the ex President and his partner in the Sun. Will it never end?

Good points.

I recall a game some years ago, against the Eagles in Perth, where with a minute to go to half time the frees were 15 to Eagles and none to us. We were playing well and every time we looked like scoring, another Eagles free to stop us. Just before the half time siren went, we got our only free for the half, in the back pocket. It didn’t improve much after half time and we lost, but not heavily and Dees fans were filthy. I think one commentator said oh Eagles are getting a good run and that was it. Umpires do affect games occasionally and that, while difficult to stop, is a pity. I have never seen a more one sided umpiring display since, thank heavens.

If we can win one of the next two, we will have a home final against the Pies without Nick and a double chance. That’s probably our best result at this stage.

Could lose next 2 as well and probably need Suns to beat Roos in last.

Sunday to Sunday 7 days.

Tommo was very good today again at Casey and you could be right about Petty.

I am not saying he isn’t, but just commenting on your view that he will definitely play seniors next year. Today he was slaughtered. I am sure he will improve, but I have seen nothing yet to suggest he will definitely play seniors next year. What do you think is the reason for the horrible ball use of both Demon teams this weekend.

I would estimate between them Dunstan and Harmes turned it over about 20 times.

Exactly. Our whole club is riddled with poor disposal. 17-5 inside F50 our way in last quarter and we kick one goal. 5-6 absolute sitters missed. Missed passes the whole game and relentless bombing.

Absolutely slaughtered today by Hudson O’Keefe.

I haven’t seen that.

Ball handling sh-thouse.

Port game too. When you are poor at ball handling wet conditions can exacerbate it.

You can see why we lost in one passage of play. The Docherty goal came from 4 Dees fumbling the ball and he picks it up and kicks the goal. We fumbled and mis kicked and mis handballed and dropped marks all night.

We lost because of one thing, garbage ball handling and disposal. If we don’t bring in more ball skill we will suffer.
