1913 was the one that got away.....

Don Scott.."..and there's Tony Lockett in the no 4 jumper made famous by Barry Breen...."

Saints by 13. Will be a slog.

Seen the game twice now...

Very difficult.

Lots of apologies. Webster was terrific, Billings, Curren, Gwilt, Ray, Delaney, Bruce, Newnes...all of them actually

Fantastic what Weller has done. Could be very handy in Wellington conditions.

The Saints part is not uploaded. Pity.....

Essendon looking for the sympathy vote...... They are playing the 'poor us' card quite a lot lately.

Mav Weller seems to be putting a strong case forward to be elevated off the rookie list. Cam Shenton is also doing well. With Wright out for a while, wonder what happens?

I think this is quite close...if not on the button. Milera possible.

Your literary background betrayed you there Loris. Patrick Smith might think of himself as the Vivisector, but Patrick White wrote it.....

He's being forced into the role. Not his fault. They must be unsure about Bruce so far. No one else I can see.

Bruce sounds like he did ok for Sandy though.

I said this in a thread last year. We need Clint. He covers that much ground and does so much of the grunt work. He saves one of our young kids getting prematurely smashed as he is at the coal-face the whole time getting contested possessions and then spreading. Pity about his kicking sometimes, but...

Rhys played well. He showed further improvement, and that is what we're after. He has had so much injury,,and hasn't strung too many games together. Hopefully he got some confidence out of today.

I struggle to understand Hickey... Was beaten comfortable in the Hit outs three weeks in a row? 46-20 last week 60-25 tonight You make a good point. But my impression was that every hit out was earned against him, and so they don't often go to clear advantage. And our insiders make it hard for the ...

But on Wright..thought he was terrific. That great mark when we were under siege was inspiring. Takes things on, but locked his opponent down well.

He's very likely As is Dunstan, Newnes, Webster Not sold on Newnes yet. Newnes is a quiet achiever. He has been getting good numbers this year. You don't really notice him as he's not very obvious looking. He uses the ball pretty well but doesn't have any x factor tricks to make him obvious either....

Was very good body on body, and when the ball hits the deck in a scrimmage he invariably extracts it. Not quick, but did a job for us. Dempster was on Cox at one point. Tough stuff with the ball coming in high.

Gwilty seems to get the dirty jobs, and acquits himself pretty well.

Joey hurt. Hope he's ok.

I won't get a call. Overseas charges.......and I signed up (now a Gold member) last week,

Wasn't Goldmember a character in an Austin Powers movie?!

Didn't we get Savage as well? Not that he had a great first game.

1966 Stkilda v hawthorn last game of the season at moorabbin. D Baldock with badly injured knee selected as 19th man. Stkilda was well behind at 3/4 time. Jeans was quoted as saying when asked why he played the injured Baldock, "It was either play him today or wait for the night series". ...

Can someone do a match report? This is a must see encounter.....

Round 3 might be tough. Here's hoping for the eight, but aren't we tanking?

Just got it. Panic over. Someone working back late. Good on them. Rachael in the team sorted it. :D Enjoy the game. It was a bit like the panic of the last few years as a game was about to start, and we were all trying to find a stream.....dodgy or not, we didn't care! Fraught business being an ove...
