Hammer and Mini hammer coming in clutch in the end. Need some end-game strats in the handbook though.

It's not Caminiti's fault, he'd a kid - but why on earth were teammates not telling him to kick it quickly?

Against Bombers, multiple unforced errors. Lose by 4 points

Against GWS, multiple unforced errors. Lose by one point.


Hill, Steele, and Marshall were awesome. Garcia is a keeper.

So time on not paid if you mark and lining up for a shot at goal anymore?

Because rushing the kicks has been soooo effective for us.

Rather kick it and be 1 point down with 20 seconds than kick a point and have 39 points to try and stop them from blasting it forward.

Can't remember when it was - that is why the rule came in - because a player from North took literally a minute to have his sho in the dying seconds of a game (against us)

We played 1 quarter

We have spuds which we carry

Did NOT deserve to win

Kudos to Hill, Marshall and Steele

Sharman is a massive dud
Byrnes is a hacker
Phillipou is struggling

Had no right having the shot - that mark was one out of a million.

They were decimated by injuries in the last quarter, so it would’ve been highway robbery if we had have stolen that.

That being said I would’ve taken it.

The 6+ goals we gave them from turnovers is what cost us the game.

I totally disagree with your criticism. He had to kick the goal. He took the time he needed. He kicked the goal- AND there were still 41 seconds on the clock at the next bounce . As we saw, still plenty of time to win the game if we were good enough.

There were plenty of occasions where you might legitimately criticise our players , but not that player on that occasion.

Can't remember a team missing so many handballs. And that's not including the turnovers by foot.

Our best footy can go with the best. Just gotta get some of these kids playing four quarters of footy.

Yes, we came back, but we seem to be playing only 1 good quarter this season. Essendon was the 1st, Collingwood and Richmond was the 3rd and can't remember Geelong.
Garcia keeps his spot next week.
Depending on King's condition we either bring Howard in and put Cordy forward, or bring in Hayes.
Butler plays for Sandy.


Think of me long enough to make a memory.
