It's a trick, designed to foil Melbourne's plans. (and other prying coaches)

Don't worry.


You're quite brilliant Shane, yeah..terrific!

How f***ed is that. Windy kicks a long goal and the clueless female commentating the match says
'the dees put through another one. Thankfully her male mate corrected her.

Kicking is very poor and they look slow.

Dirty bastards. Howard monstered after marking about 15 metres out...Misses though.

Should have received 50 metres.

Better that period. Midfield actually started winning some ball. Makes a difference. As opposed to the first two periods we were able to move the ball with occasional fluency. Still way of the mark to where we want to be

And we just let them run all over us in the last 10 minutes.

Other than Wanganeen Milera and Matteus Phillipou, there wasn't much to get excited by.

Same old Saints, slow, loose and poor skills, may get a little better but probably not a lot. Top five draft pick heading our way.

That was lucky. I mean, this just proves that women have no place in sport am I right? It’s a good thing there was a man there to correct her, and put her in her place.
I can’t figure out if you are trying to get people to pile on her, or just really like to publicly post about every single negative thought you have?

Yep
Watched the first three stanzas.
By which time I was wondering what the F we got out of it . As it's only a practice game you do wonder , but when we had it Melbourne's pressure led to poor disposal.
What actually pissed me off the most was in the 2nd stanza we had 3 shots at goal . Kicking into a strong gusty wind you'd think that professional footballers who train at the ground and have probably trained in similar conditions many times , would have some idea how to attack the goal , but our guys never come close .
