At Least I Saw a Flag

An additional tall defender must come in. I guess it has to be one of Tomlinson (most likely) or Smith or Schache. I'm not a huge fan of any of those gents, but Lever can't play on McKay or Curnow. As has been said repeatedly, he's not a particularly good one on one defender. He needs to be the third man up/inteceptor.

I wonder how much he lost ....

Lukisous charged front on. No free kick .... thankfully Humphrey kicked a miraculous goal.

Umpires doing their best to get the Dogs home

Mac Andrew is trying for a world record for the number of his kicks being smothered. Rowell is a freak.

Sadly I think that the Bulldogs will run over the top of Gold Coast. I hope I'm wrong.

He turned sideways. Would you believe it ... he disappeared!!

Early last week Sportsbet had Freo at $4.10. Ridiculous odds. I put a few bucks on at that price. I would rather have lost my money.

What a funny old fellow is Humphrey. He gets in all manner of strife.

Bad kicking is bad football.

I was at the match. There was never a moment that I thought we'd win. I've seen the movie too many times. At least I had a nice lunch, and a few drinks, so the day wasn't a total loss.

Deserved to lose

He's referred to as a lizard. Not sure about that .... there's a case for him being described as a rikali, or an otter.

What's the bet that Curnow & McKay kick straight next week? I still recall Travis Cloke kicking 7 straight against us years ago.

I've moved on from the 70s. Watching Kula Shaker live concert in Cologne (2016). So good. Their best song (second last song of this concert) is Great Hosannah.

I think I'll go back to watching 70s music videos on Youtube.

I'm not sure if it's strictly on topic, but those women in Boney M were really hot.

Surely Franklin must retire at the end of the season? A shadow of his former self. Other than his kicking Curnow (Charlie) is playing really well. What's up with Walsh? Warner tries to take on the tackler too often. Excuse my ramblings.

Petty's absence should not be underestimated.

I inadvertently bought a visitor's ticket (MCC members) to Saturday's match. If anyone wants it, please send me a private message. It's yours .... free to a fellow Demonlander.

Woey won't be the sub. Demons never name debutantes as the sub. Poor JJ ... he really is on the outer. Thought he was a certainty to be in the 22 ahead of Harmes. Walters being injured is something of a bonus. He's the type of player who cuts us up.

No

When is the next training session at Gosch's Paddock? Is it the Captain's Run on Friday?

I don't. Can't stand him.
