At Least I Saw a Flag

Going back to the filth match, why did the commentators insist on calling Hill "Bobby Hill" when he was the only player on the ground with that surname? They did it EVERY TIME he got the ball, well other than the 2 times (in a row) that Der-Wayne called him "Bobby". I think this issue is more interesting than any discussion about the Swans/GC snoozefest.

I think I'll pop onto the Crows forum in BigFooty. Wonder what they're saying about Rachele?

Adelaide's dropped marks are proving very costly. Richelle is a frustrating player to watch.

lol ... he just kicked a pretty good goal!

Hey, you've pinched my line!! PS. That's ok ...

There's only one player on the ground with the surname Davey. Despite that, Brayshaw keeps calling "Alwyn Davey Jnr" every time he gets the ball.

Dawson BOG so far ... he's great.

lol ... BT's intelligence bar would be very low.

Adelaide fumbling so much.

Cox = Cale Morton's doppleganger!

I hope Adelaide win tonight. Of course I hope the filth lose. Doesn't matter who they're playing.

Zak Jones, an experienced player, subbed off during this debacle. Not a good sign. Harmes played an OK game.

I might pop over to the Saints bigfooty post match thread (shortly). Nothing like a bit of schadenfreude. Did anyone else read the 'highlights' of Justice Lee's judgment in the Lehrmann defamation case? I recommend it. I especially loved the line "After escaping the lion's den, Mr Lehrmann made the mistake of going back for his hat." Comic gold. Is anyone else still actually watching the match?

It tends to be players with surname type first names. I first noticed it with Mitchell White of WC Eagles about 30 years ago. Continued with Fraser Gehrig et al. Although that BT moron used to call him "Fraser" sometimes. This discussion is more interesting than the carnage taking place at Doglands.

Commentator just called Bailey Williams. There's only one player on the ground with that surname. Thankfully Bailey Smith isn't playing.

There is only player on the ground with the surname Dale. Why do the commentators always identify him as Bailey Dale? They don't do the same with other players.

Saints are woeful. Free kick Bulldogs back in force.

I hate the filth.

He'll play v Tigers. Goodwin rarely drops someone after one match ... well, other than Tomlinson and Schache.

It's a yes from me.

It is beyond tragic ... RIP Ashlee and the 5 others who were murdered. Her 9 month old daughter was also attacked, but thankfully survived. But she will grow up without her mum. Good's nine-month-old baby was rushed to hospital on Saturday and is now "doing well" after hours of emergency surgery, her family said in a statement. It is beyond belief that this happened.
