Who was the commentator tag teaming with dwayne Russell? Haven't heard him before but liked him a lot, nice old-school radio/ race-caller voice, called it as he saw it, straight bat. Out Huddo In: this guy.
Matt Hill and funnily enough he is the main race caller for the Melbourne races. He's an excellent race caller and also a very good football caller as it turns out. Just calls it as he sees it. A breathe of fresh air to the football commentary ranks.

He was unreal to listen to.
Even Gazza Lyon was on our bandwagon.

There was a fair bit of unsociable football about the Tiges yesterday.
We were not afraid to get in the glamour boys faces.
There's was some genuine mongrel in that 22.
Stick your 'edge' hype that was a quiet Tiger tough. Loved it.

All I know is that when I heard his voice, I had a strange urge to place a bet.

Makes the transition from races to footy better than aBill Collins did to athletics.

the majority of our injuries atm , are either past their best or not at Punt rd next year , hopefully a lot of the lads can make the most of their opportunities this year and make Blair’s job a bit easier at seasons end

Gibcus?
Balta?
Even Lynch is in peak years for FF
Hopper

I'll give you Prestia, Grimes and Graham

But majority just isn't right.

Still can't believe after an amazing win and getting our season back on track we lose the 2 players we could least afford to lose to long term injuries. Any other players besides Lynch and Balta we could have covered. Unfarkenbelievable.

I was pleased to see that our guys still had run in their legs at the end - even if they were running on momentum and excitement.

And Sonsie may not have had many possessions, but he was often thereabouts (eg with MRJ at the death), and his smile and celebrations at big moments showed he’s all in. I look forward to his development.
