I think part of the problem with Tommy Mac wandering around the half forward line is that we aren't aware of how <quick> he is - great tank, but fast as well. We're so unused to getting turnovers that we don't stream forward with much fluency - I reckon a good coach (e.g. Craig) will want him to run - makes tons of ground - and will help the team structure up around him. I think he's going to be really damaging - imagine if he had Stevie J / Bartel etc etc around him... Such a great night - not downhill skiing, just really exciting footy from the team we love!!!

I might chicken out of suggesting it could be used part of a verb, though

Dees great. Your knowledge of grammar not so good

You can't be serious. "The dog bit the man" had 5 words but only 2 nouns. It has one verb and two definite article d well giving a total of 5 words. Tel me you don't think that a noun and a word are the same...

For a bloke with some Latin in his sig it must be a great relief to finally understand the difference between a noun and a word

More foot injuries??????

Killed in clearances and hard ball gets. Every stoppage in the last was s chance for then to score. Don't know if it's talent or ahem... mid field coaching

Someone get a clearance. CLEARANCE PLEASE.

Should see the boys looking at Craig at the end of the break. Real intent.

Place is buzzing. It might just be the turn guys.

Clark dawes hogan watts howe with gawn or fitz resting Just need a mid or two.

Maggot

Clearance please. Just one or two

Tommy m galloping through the centre, more pace than the dogs mids but a bit lost! This is completely different. For those dlanders who might be thinking about staying away- don't. These boys are having a crack and are nearly good to watch. Think of a less skilful geelong. Well Ok. Much less skilful.

Pre game warm up. Much practice running it down the ground.

Where's the farkin song????

Love the game plan! See ball get ball. Kick long. Beat your opponent. Punch when behind. Spread hard. I think Peter Giles is playing on the wing

Melbourne number 3 Gun

Mrs Frankie will be accompanying me, Frankie Junior and the two daughters - one of whom, I regret to say, goes for the Doggies. I can only put his down to a cosmic ray phenomenon - no family influences, nothing. Just decided she liked them when she was about 5, and stuck. All of us will be there for the women's game first.

So the first quarter blew it.

Why is watts behind the ball?

Howe needs to turn around after he takes a mark. Burned watts twice.

Reckon Tommy Mac had had him for most of the game and done really well

Clisby Kent and terlich have all done well. Good disposal.
