whatwhat say what

robbie gray's hammy goes 'ping'

as long as dusty stays fit the tiggas will be there or thereabouts it's hard to judge on a practice match but the hawks don't appear to have a forward line or an ability to manufacture a score, which is not too dissimilar to their season last year

grimes, prestia, and soldo all looking pretty miserable for the tiggas i think breust for the hawks injured too

riewoldt mouthed off and it took the "respected adjudicator of officialdom" an AGE to call the 50 compared to how red hot they were about it for our praccy game

terribly sad for his family it would seem he died after going to a health retreat in thailand his last insta post: https://www.instagram.com/p/CagedhrvOIz/

grimes looks pretty sore

my five faves from 75: bob dylan - blood on the tracks pink floyd - wish you were here bruce springsteen - born to run neil young - tonight's the night patti smith - horses helluva year

i like how much these sides don't like each other

this looks like a finals game based on the 5 mins i've watched how many 50s paid?

pretty sure it was gifted as an area to the aints as part of gilligan's largesse towards his side

mfc stopped being involved with the smjfl area at least three, maybe four, seasons ago aints put in next to no effort with the area

smjfl is very much st kilda's zone, not melbourne's, at least judging by my son's experience a couple of years back it was so blatant that if you signed up as a junior you got a complimentary saints membership

i had no issues with the 50s against jordon (failure to hand the ball directly back), viney (blocked the previous 50s run forward), and langdon (another failure to hand it directly back) the one against clayton was pretty harsh but, as per above, technically 'there' as he clearly thought it was a dees free (as it arguably should have been) but, in particular, the penalties against tomlinson and t mac (note: not trac; it was against t mac for raising his arms in disgust in the umpire's direction after cripps ducked and earned a free) were absolutely laughable things that looked like they worked: fritsch as our main forward target lift in intensity in the second half things that looked like they didn't work: missing 5 of the premiership back 6 gus at half-back lack of intensity in the first half mostly, it seemed to be like we blew out some cobwebs ahead of the real thing starting in 13 or so days

they kicked another goal in a practice game in march! GET AROUND EM BOYS

clayton dancing to the weeknd hahahaha how many times are we gonna see that on replay

five of our premiership back six out but our entire starting midfield not defending doesn't help

b-side backline are butchers but of more concern is that our a-side midfield are getting massacred

this is so bad oh well; still the premiers

play-by-play commentators clearly at dorcas st

the ruling for 'insufficient intent' is SO grey will be the buzz rule til rd 5 til the maggots forget about it

jordon wasn't stiff, jordon was dumb that's exactly why the 'time wasting' rule came in

cos he mouths off constantly

as usual gawn is mauled every ruck contest and can't buy a free

trac wtf

carlton's high press is going to look great when it looks great...and expose em something chronic when it doesn't
