At Least I Saw a Flag

Pretty much a repeat of the Demons v Blues match this year. Demons 0.0.0 v Blues 5 goals something at qtr time.

JJ was on our list for years ... and posters here are still calling him JordAn rather than his correct name.

I was at the match hoping for a close contest. Bulldogs were terrible. So many of their players contributed virtually nothing. Bont, Darcy, JUH, Naughton .... Even Bont. Hawks ran them off their feet. Their spread was great ... always giving the player with the ball a relatively easy option. Conversely the Dogs didn't work hard enough. And their skills (Bulldogs) were terrible ... fumbling, handballing to players under pressure, dropping marks, slipping over. You're almost better missing out finals if that's the best you can do. Big crowd, big occasion, great atmosphere. Shame only one side turned up.

World Cup qualifier ... in Brisbane ... Socceroos 0 - Bahrain 1. Appalling/clueless performance by Socceroos.

Socceroos playing a World Cup qualifier v Bahrain. 0-0 at half time. Very boring match .... Socceroos ranked 24, Bahrain 62. Socceroos lacking ideas. Hopefully Bahrain run out of steam ... or Irakunda comes on and scores.

I think he needs to answer the perenial question "can a souffle rise twice?"

Preferred premier? Allen or Pesuto? Neither is a great option!

I have minimal interest in the finals this year. But I hope Jee-long get bundled out in straight sets. I dislike Bris-bane too. And I'm not overly fond of Hawthorn. Come to think of it, I don't like Port either. That leaves the Dogs, Swans, GWS and Carlton. Actually I don't particularly like Carlton or Dogs either. So, that leaves the Swans and GWS. I probably have a slight preference for GWS ... they'll go crazy in western Sydney if they win. ("They'll" ... perhaps that should be singular?)

Their last finals win was v Demons.

Re-signed. The hyphen makes a lotta difference !!!!

He would be perfect.

Too small, too old and can't kick far enough. Probably too slow as well.

Not ideal.

Too old.

Who remembers Kelvin Templeton ?

It's so bad. Good to see Tigers at rock bottom though.

Far from ideal

I wonder if Goodwin told the players they should go out and enjoy themselves. For example, there were a couple of very attacking cross ground kicks, which the players don't normally do. Sadly they were turned over due to poor skills.

Not ideal.

Not ideal

I spoke to him briefly at the G a few years ago. A real gentleman*. *Is it still permissible to use that word?

I usually don't have a problem with other supporters (in MCC) other than at filth matches. I occasionally have pleasant conversations with opposition supporters ...

Agree. Who remembers the 'Kruezer cup' match? Where both sides (Demons & Blues) were trying to lose. Blues left Travis Johnston to run riot ...42 possessions from memory. Demons won, so Carlton got pick #1, which was Kruezer.

It was revealed on the news tonight that Sam was on his phone, talking to his mother, when he was hit. Too sad.
