Redleg

A win, forgot what they were.

They didn't.

Going out for brekky with the Missus, chance for a banana smoothie. Hope they have nice bananas in Bentleigh.

Yeah.

More flat over this loss than the Saints one.

Lions planning on another 4 points this week.

Well we certainly kick like dogs.

The Sun is shining. Almost forgotten what that looks like.

What I didn't like was the stopping each time he got the ball, the poor disposal that then followed and the fact that 4 times he failed to retard Hooker, who he had hold of and then let him just run away with the ball and set up a score for the Bombers.

So flat today after yesterday's game.

It might be pick 2 or even 1.

Didn't play in front once the whole game.

I think we all support him and hope to hell he becomes a good player for us, but..................

Not if the bad weather is as predicted. 6 goals in that case would be remarkable.

I understand the "get over it " philosophy, as it is done, but that doesn't stop you thinking about what could have been. It is compounded by the fact that most armchair experts on here wanted Ollie and the fact that he was a Victorian and good mates with Viney. Toumpas was considered top 4 by most recruiters and above Ollie. Our problem was that GWS didn't take him at 3, instead I think taking O'Rourke, who most would agree has been underwhelming, more so than Toumpas. It is pretty likely that if GWS had in fact taken Toumpas, we would have taken Ollie. The fact that they didn't probably spooked us and we had to decide whether to take the higher rated player over the lower rated one and we took the easy way out. A gutsy call would have given us a fantastic player. As I believe it was Todd Viney's call, he may have been worried about taking Jack's mate above a higher rated player. No need to mention it to him today, as he probably feels sicker than we all do, as it was his decision.

What is our form in hail?

That is very distressing news.

Well the difference is that the Eagles would have beaten us anyway, but the Tigers were handed the game by the umpires. We got a very bad run again, but GWS were robbed of the win.

Just watched the Tigers beat the Giants and the 3 best on the ground for the Tigers were all in green. Most disgraceful display from umpires you could see. Not that I care, but they handed the game to the Tigers,

Another injury. Russell Roberston injured in the Legends game.

Bloody foxtel. I recorded the whole listed game and was [censored] as hell when the recording stopped 3.5 minutes from the end. These are digital times and recorded by remote and they should get it bloody right. I miss the end and the celebration of one of our best wins of recent times.

Well that is great, back in OZ and the Dees aren't playing. Oh well I guess I can watch the Geelong replay.

Probably will.

Well they starved me of bananas for one thing. They allowed our game against the Cats to be in the middle of the night for another. They didn't cover the game in the press for another. No replays either. Need to get back to civilisation.

Back in Melbourne Thursday and no Dees to watch this weekend and only on telly the next. Looking forward to going to another game to see our batch of youngsters,
