At Least I Saw a Flag

Interesting article. Dennis Cometti played/coached footy, albeit 'only' at WAFL level. Isa Gohu (sp) is an awesome cricket commentator. Daisy is, of course, a fantastic special comments person. Offers interesting insights and doesn't prattle on like some of her male counterparts (read Garry Lyon et al) who are just air fillers. Jonathan Brown is also a great special comments person. He's like Mr Ed ... only speaks when he has something (worthwhile) to say.

That would be similar to Blitz-Ar@e running with Cripps.

Au contraire ... I love him.

Tomlinson's not a forward ... or a winger. His only position is as a backman (which he's OK at) or nothing.

Possibly also wearing a Demons cap, and a Katmandu puffer jacket. Further identification assistance ... I'll be the oldest person there ... by a fair margin!!

Kewl .... I'll be the bloke wearing a Demons' scarf !!!

I'll be watching the match at the Sporting Globe in Richmond. Not at all confident.

Richmond ... losing after the siren v GC, then choking against Norf .... excellent!! Shame the Crows couldn't win against the filth. Nick Daicos ... bloody hell, what a star!! He and Pendlebury got them over the line. Hey, does anyone know that Pendlebury was a champion junior basketballer ??

I think he's paying homage to the late Ronnie James Dio.

No ... that's quite normal. However I'm sure you don't hate them as much as me.

The Age tipsters ... 14-0 Demons. Incredible. Surely close to an even money match?

I think there is more likelihood of Jacko leaving if the Dees 'fizzle out' this season. If he stays, he will sign on for another 2 years. Perhaps I should wash my mouth out, but I think he's a little overrated. I think Gus will stay.

He took stupidity to another level when he said that the Bulldogs were having a "mini onslaught". That West player (Rylee... FFS) looks like he has an adult head superimposed on a 15 year old body. Interesting that the free kick Bulldogs rule was in full force. Worst incident was Bontempelli getting caught and simply dropping the ball ... nothing to see hear, move on. And Hodge saying that was OK. Players like Bontempelli get away with murder. Saints are terrible. Players like Zac Jones, Crouch, Higgins were terrible recruits. Even Steele has regressed .... no longer an A grader.

I've heard something about goats.

Sadly I agree. Tomlinson will come in for Petty. Dunstan in for Oliver. Rivers in for Bowey. If Bedford is out, then not sure who comes in ... hopefully Hunt.

I like the guy, but he was attrocious yesterday, and the previous round/s. Doesn't bust a gut to get to contests, and when he does he just sticks an arm out lamely. Sadly not many (if any) other options.

Agree about Petty. He is an absolute gun. I thought Ben Brown was terrible. His first goal was a gift ... the result of a dropped (uncontested) mark by a Crows defender (Murray). His only other goal was in junk time. His inability to impact on contests is a problem ... he either fails to get to the contest, or 'attacks' the ball meekly with one hand. He was great last year, but his form this year is worrying. Weid did what Weid does. Shame he can't 'clunk' marks. M. Brown was passable. He did better than his namesake. Hibbo ... mixed bag. Did some good things, but got outmarked twice which cost 2 goals. Overall an OK game. Bedford ... until he kicked his goal ... didn't know he was playing!! Kozzy ... rarely sighted.

Such a tragedy that the filth got up against GC. I'm still in mourning.

I feel very sad.

Filth now a goal ahead ... oh dear ... I don't think I can watch this any more.

Scores level ... Suns have stopped. I'm fearful...

I hate the filth so much. Come on Suns ... do it !!

I got on the Crows at $4.90. Now $4.40. Hope I lose my money!!

I've always been reluctant to travel interstate to watch matches ... the thought of flying back after a drubbing, or even a loss, isn't particularly appealing. The only interstate match I went to was v Swans, about 5 years ago. In an upset, the Demons won at the SCG!! I was visiting my thirdborn (who lived/lives there) and shouted my secondborn a trip there. Very enjoyable long weekend !!!

WCW ... hope you have an enjoyable day at the footy. Where is everyone else going to watch the match? If anywhere. I'm going to the Sporting Globe in Richmond.
