We just had thunder and a couple of minutes of rain. Can you please send some more from Darwin Hopper?

Is the game still going ahead? I think I'm glad our team isn't up there, don't fancy having to sit in the plane for a couple of hours before being able to land.
 
Raining again. Both teams will need full scuba gear for tonight. The rain usually picks up in the late afternoon - early evening.

Not to worry Cats fans, Bomber Thompson said 'the wet weather doesn't bother us!'. Obviously he is looking for a second 'March Champion' trophy on his Mantle. :hihi

I think the weather might keep the crowds away too. It is keeping me away at any rate.

Whorethorn & Blooz about to start, I hope we don't see the Franklin Show again. :P

Can someone explain two things in this game:

(1) Why the Gawks still wear pre-1975 jumpers ?
(2) What the hell is that navy blue pattern on the side of the Bluebuggers shorts?

Where is Buddy? IS he even there? Oh yeah I saw him give away a soft free kick. Ordinary Game so far (3/4 time)
 
Is anyone watching the carlton /hawks game.

If this is a sign of things to come this year,fair dinkum the umpiring is going to make me tear my hair out .They've just about outlawed contact all together. Even 'implied contact' is starting to get penalised.

It's encouraging players to stage constantly.Fev already has it down pat.

disgrace.

Ordinary game by Buddy without a doubt with Waite on him for most of the game, it's not the day out he expected. Buddy has made some very ordinary basic errors that would of made Sipthorp & Biddiscombe look like seasoned veterans. I'll tell you all that Buddy doesn't have a football brain at all, he may arse the odd ball through impossible angles, he is also a one sided player, you may say he is a 'Tivendale' very much one sided.

Apparently Clarkson just yelled out to the umps complaining that he couldn't hear the siren :hihi

Franklin's nothing yet.

Agree, the Hodge free kick in the dying minutes for canning into Nick Stevens was a disgrace.

And the siren still doesn't work in Tassie. I cannot believe after the uproar last year the same thing happens again. Tim(id) Lane and Vossy (supringsly good as a special comments) both missed it.

The AFL wants to protect drug cheats, out gamblers, stop contact all together, make you buy a pie for $8.50 and they cannot supply a decent siren.

I fear for our game.
 
This game was a comedy of errors, errant handballs and kicks more often than not missing their targets.

I mentioned the other day that Franklin is not a contested mark player and the way to combat him was to block his space, i thought Waite really didn’t give him any real room on his preferred left foot...
 
Flanklin was ok. He overdid it and stuffed up a couple of times.
Put together a few handy bits of work as well, he's got a truckload of talent and will rip holes in games.
Have no doubt that as he grows from a big kid to an experienced hard bodied footballer he will get lots better.
