NAB Cup Semi: Dogs fall into a Grand Final
Posted by Josh Barnstable on March 6th, 2010
by Josh Barnstable
After catching a cold mid-week, I fought out the remaining days of the school week before conceding on Friday; seeing as it was cold and pouring down, I didn’t want to go out in that weather and risk getting even sicker, so I spent the day home from school, in the warmth of the house. I find it hard to believe that it is Friday already, and I remember that a game of football is mandatory when you are feeling ill.
Order must have been restored since last Sunday, with the Dogs running out in full home-uniform while the Power donned the white shorts for tonight’s encounter, fitting seeing as they are the away side. North Melbourne and Fremantle also followed these rules in last weekend’s match.
The Power start superbly with Robbie Gray sharking Jordan Roughead’s hit out to run into the opening goal of the match, before Warren Tredrea tackles his opponent, earning a free kick from outside 50. He bangs it home in his first match of 2010. Cameron Cloke marks from a kick-in and sends it back over the goal umpire’s head, giving the Power a handy 18 point lead. The Dogs are spared of the goalless quarter humiliation with a late Super goal to Ryan Griffen after a 50m penalty; the Dogs going into the first break trailing by nine, 1.0.3 to 0.3.3.
The second quarter begins and Adam Cooney kicks the opener after an unselfish Barry Hall clumsily handballs to the red-nut all alone in the goalsquare, missing him completely. The Brownlow Medallist is able to gather it and goal, though. The Power hit back with goals through Daniel Stewart, who is impressive, and Paul Stewart, who is tough as nails. Speaking of tough as nails, Mitch Hahn capitalizes on a great tackle in defence by Daniel Cross, the ball moving downfield where Hahn kicks the goal. Griffen receives from an unselfish Josh Hill just outside the goalsquare and rams home his second, before Gray cleverly snaps his second to take the margin back out to seven points. Goals through Jason Akermanis and Hall on the siren see the Dogs take the lead for the first time in the match, 1.5.8 to 0.6.4 at half time.
The second half starts and Danyle Pearce breaks free from his temporary human blanket in Liam Picken to kick a long nine-pointer, drawing scores level. Shaun Higgins makes an immediate impact after coming on through the substitution rule, kicking a goal before Hall snaps through a ripper on the boundary line. The Dogs are barking, and the Power’s energy seems sapped. But the lively Ruckman Dan Stewart brings Etihad to life with two clever goals, and then Mitch Banner weaves his way through traffic to snap a lead-grabbing goal. Hall has the final impact for the quarter though, marking and goaling on three quarter time, 1.8.13 to 1.9.7 at the last break, 70 apiece.
The final term is set to be a doozy, Brett Ebert marking and goaling in the first minute of the quarter, before Hall replies just as quickly to draw scores level. Brodie Moles, who has been impressive, gets on the end of a Hall-pass to kick his first and give the Dogs a six point lead. The Power look gone, enter Scott Harding. The Brisbane Lion discard is thrown into the fray; great pressure in the forward line for Port sees a turnover and Harding to kick the goal, bringing the margin back to two points with less than five minutes to play. Harding then gets on the end of a great tap by Dean Brogan and snaps his second, giving the Power the lead with a couple of minutes to go. Port seems to have snatched victory back from the hands of the Doggies, but they have one last crack at it. A free kick on the wing to Jason Akermanis results in a long kick inside 50 by Higgins, and Hall takes a screamer! Almost emulating Michael Gardiner against the Cats last year in Round 14, except Hall dishes of the handball to none other than Brian Lake, who was standing behind him applauding his mark. Lake looks a bit perplexed, before slamming the ball onto his boot through for a goal, probably the luckiest goal he has kicked in his career. The Dogs lead by three points, and will need to be at their barking best to hold onto that margin. The Power press forward but a free kick against Dom Cassisi sees the Dogs into their first Grand Final of any sorts since 1970, 1.11.17.92 to 1.12.8.89.
This was just one of those games where you didn’t know who you wanted to win. I wanted Port Adelaide to win because I rarely get to see them play on television, and they have an exciting breed of youngsters, but I’m glad the Bulldogs made it; this is a small step to making it to that one day in September.
Western Bulldogs 1.0.3—1.5.8—1.8.13—1.11.17.92

Nice work JB. Pretty good intensity in this match.
Throughout the game I kept thinking that Justin Westhoff reminded me of someone. Finally it hit me – the floppy-haired beardo loping and leaping around the park was evoking memories of that bloke taking the mark over John Harms on the back cover of the 2007 Footy Almanac.
March 6th, 2010 at 8:23 am
I thought he might have been Shaggy from Scooby Doo.
March 6th, 2010 at 8:25 am
Either one.
March 6th, 2010 at 8:26 am
Josh, so footy’s the new chicken soup?
March 6th, 2010 at 9:16 am
Does any other captain give away as many 50m penalties or critical free kicks as Dom Cassisi? I really respect Mark Williams for being so diplomatically silent as the bloke he didn’t want as captain continues to cost his team.
No disrespect to Port, but I’m glad to see the Doggies in with a shot a title. Their form over the past few years has been at the elite level, and they can be one of the most entertaining teams to watch when on song. A pre-season title would be a just reward for their recent past, and like Aker, I reckon they’re in with a fair shot come the main season.
Good report, JB. Hope you’re feeling better.
March 6th, 2010 at 9:32 am
Thanks blokes.
1- Haha is that an insult or a compliment to Daff Gigs?
3- It certainly made me feel better
Did anyone notice how low Daniel Stewart was wearing his footy shorts last night? It looked stupid.
March 6th, 2010 at 9:34 am
And Dom Cassisi was a bit clumsy last night, he should know better than to argue with the umpire, and his late high tackle cost the Power at their last roll of the dice.
March 6th, 2010 at 9:36 am
Good report Josh, I must admit I was barracking for Port at the end as well.
Have we ever had such an early conversation on the almanac?
Yeah, Westhoff does have a bit of Daff about him
March 6th, 2010 at 10:05 am
Blokes,
I no longer have a beard or floppy hair.
As for Westhoff’s athleticism …
March 6th, 2010 at 11:46 am
Nice work Josh,
It was an entertaining game wasn’t it, it was unselfish play by big Barry at the end and it could have been costly had Lake not slotted the goal.
I wanted the Bulldogs to take the points, it’s always a great sight when a team breaks a drought of any kind. It will be intresting to see how the Bulldogs handle tyhe overwhelming pressure this season, even Dougie Hawkins believes 2010 is the Year of the Dog.
March 6th, 2010 at 11:51 am
Hall could’ve easily kicked 7 or 8 if he hadn’t been so unselfish.
I think the delayed St.Kilda V Freo is good, cos im listening to Adelaide V Melbourne online at 4:40, that gives me a bit of a gap between both games. Are you going tonight Damo?
March 6th, 2010 at 12:11 pm
Yeah I’m going, hopefully the match is as transfixing as last night, I might be going with a friend but I’m not sure if not I have Medallion Club tickets so I’ll go anyway.
I think the match will be teklecast live on Fox Sports and shown delayed on Channel 10, they did a similar line-up in the NAB Cup Semi Final last year in the Geelong-Carlton clash.
Steve here is a clip I think you will enjoy, I love the part when Barassi is fiery: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEVSF0SSHA0
March 6th, 2010 at 12:16 pm
Did anyone see Salopek’s screamer? I think it was taken in the third term.
I just realised you might have that clip on DVD already Steve.
March 6th, 2010 at 12:17 pm
oh ok, I wouldnt know since I was at that game. I really wish I could go today/tonight.
I really want my Dad to get medallion club tickets again. He got them for Bulldogs V West Coast in 2008 The Dogs won 20.14 134 to 11.8 74, and Kangaroos V melbourne (19.12 126 to 9.8 62) and Western Bulldogs V Port ADelaide (20.13 133 to 17.11 113) in 2007, so I’ve only ever been to 3
March 6th, 2010 at 12:18 pm
whats the clip Damo? Sorry, I cant get on to Youtube
That was a magnificent mark, he kept his eyes on the ball for the whole time
March 6th, 2010 at 12:21 pm
It’s a bit of Melbourne’s history from 1982-87, it includes the Barassi-Zantuck spat and their interview together years later.
Yeah I’ve been to quite a few games sitting in the Medallion Club over the years.
March 6th, 2010 at 12:23 pm
Nice, Damo. Yeah I’ve seen that vision on the electrifying 80’s as well as an old Demons video I have called: The Red and the Blue, which is about the dees history from 1939-99, its really interesting.
I love the medallion club, we always sat just right of the wing towards the coventry end
March 6th, 2010 at 12:29 pm
status- Can’t wait till the Dees game starts!
March 6th, 2010 at 12:32 pm
What’s your opinion on the interactive in-built TV’s that are avaliable, are they useful or do they distract you from the match?
I sit towards the pocket so I don’t have access to those mini TV’s.
Really? sounds like a great DVD, no doubt it will include the 1998 Qualifying Final.
March 6th, 2010 at 12:34 pm
It annoys me how they supply you with a free copy of The Age! If it really was ‘Sporting Heaven’ then surely the Herald Sun would be the preferred choice! lol
March 6th, 2010 at 12:35 pm
Its a video, weve probably had it for about 10 years, I just havent watched it in ages lol. Yep, thats right. Gee what a game it was, Dees won 17.13 115 to 9.13 67, Neitz and Farmer 6 each! And how good was Farmer’s double handed tap! Gee, it was such a good game.
I dont like them, they are a distraction, although it could be useful if your there on saturday night and theres another saturday night game on, but when you go to the footy, you go to watch the game! I remember seeing a couple of kids watching the simpsons, what the hell! We didn’t have the TV’s, they started at the bay to the left of us
March 6th, 2010 at 12:37 pm
20- You’ve gotta be kidding me! The Age is clearly better than that “tabloid” crap. I never knew that, I didn’t get an Age when I went.
Oh yeah, and you might also notice that there’s a massive ad for the Age on Etihad Stadium, as we saw
March 6th, 2010 at 12:41 pm
Yeah I think The Age has only recently been handed out. Ian Collins is behind all that Age advertising.
I agree sometimes the TV can be a distraction, the only time I would connsider using the TV is when I attend an A-League match lol.
March 6th, 2010 at 12:42 pm
Medallion Club?
Who’s mark was better? Salopek’s or Hall’s at the end? Hall’s mark was good, but you have to admire Salopek’s courage and that he didn’t take his eyes off the ball.
Yeah the Saturday night match during the Semi-Final of the NAB Cup is on Ch10 but is televised by Fox. Has been like that for a few years now. I missed last year’s Semi-Final clashes because i was out camping with mates. I remember that weekend, it went from the Friday after school to the Monday afternoon, and we didn’t even pack a tent! And i woke up and a Koala was 15m away from me. And i remember joking about how the world would end while we were out in the bush and i heard on the radio that earthquakes had hit Melbourne while Collingwood v Essendon was on, so i was starting to fear that my prediction was coming true. Jack Anthony kicked seven goals that night.
March 6th, 2010 at 12:43 pm
hahaha yeah, good point, I’d rather watch Channel 31 than an A-League game. I’ve always wanted to sit in a corporate box, I never have though.
Should be an exciting afternoon, 4 games of footy to follow via the internet.
March 6th, 2010 at 12:44 pm
I like Sam Edmunds article in the HS today about who is going to be the Daniel Rich/Joel Selwood of 2010.
March 6th, 2010 at 12:45 pm
Hall’s was better in the context of the game of course, but Salopek’s mark was better.
Hahahaha, there was only one earthquake, I remember watching Collingwood V Essendon and the whole room started shaking, I thought I was just imagining it. And I remember a week later one followed at 4 in the afternoon, and I thought I was just imagining it again lol
March 6th, 2010 at 12:46 pm
Isn’t this early for a major almanac conversation? I bet Danni’s still in bed
March 6th, 2010 at 12:48 pm
This isn’t really a major conversation, nice to see the older generation commenting as well.
I’ve been up since about 8:40, just got back from town.
March 6th, 2010 at 12:50 pm
same, even though I went to sleep at about 1:30 last night I got up just before 9, but my whole family’s out, or almost, my sisters going out and my brothers going to work. I really wish that we could chat to the older generation more often
March 6th, 2010 at 12:51 pm
And Josh, the Medallion club is the equivalent of MCC members at Etihad Stadium. The seats are along the broadcast side wing on level 2, and its really expensive to get a membership but some companies have reserved seats, like my Dad’s so ocassionly I can get seats there.
March 6th, 2010 at 12:54 pm
I never felt those earthquakes last year although plenty of my friends certainly copped a fair brunt of it.
Yeah I read that article Josh, he made some good points as well.
Did you read the article in the Confidential section where James Brayshaw mistakenly called anthony Hudson instead of Rex Hunt for the Trple M position. Huddo did his best Rex impersenation and Brayshaw didn’t realise the blue he made until the following morning.
March 6th, 2010 at 12:57 pm
32: Nah, i read the headline but that’s it lol, i’ll have a look later.
Oh is that right, why bother with special seats at the game? Where we sat at the North v Cats game was perfect.
March 6th, 2010 at 1:00 pm
33- Josh, for a lot of home and away games you can only sit in the top level for general admission tickets.
32- Hahaha are you serious Damo? Anthony Hudson and Gerard Wheatley both live in Ashburton, right near me, yet ive never seen either of them before. Hudson just moved here though
March 6th, 2010 at 1:01 pm
34: Gee, all the people who can’t grow facial hair seem to live in Ashburton.
Carlton v West Coast is being played now, correct?
March 6th, 2010 at 1:04 pm
It starts at 1:30, Josh.
hahaha, Huddo is the youngest looking 38 year old I’ve ever seen.
I’ve actually got a sort of facial thing going now
March 6th, 2010 at 1:04 pm
We’ve been fortunate to find sensational seats for both of the games we have attended over the last fortnight.
I think Jarryd Roughead lives around your area too Steve, a few of my friends live in the Burwood/Ashburton area.
My dad and I recieved corporate box tixckets for the 2006 Richmond-North Melbourne match at the MCG but we were heading to the Northern territory on the same day which was grossly unfortunate!
March 6th, 2010 at 1:05 pm
actually, Gerard Wheatley might not live in ashburton, he only lives 10-20 houses down my street, but I think its in Glen Iris (the next suburb)
March 6th, 2010 at 1:06 pm
36: Thought it started at 10:30? That might have been AWST.
I couldn’t care less if North Melbourne loses or wins today, as long as no one gets injured and the youngsters perform. How good has this year’s NAB Cup been? Only a couple of serious injuries with Cale Morton and James Sellar and most matches have been tight and entertaining.
March 6th, 2010 at 1:07 pm
37: Ahh i remember that match, Richmond won by 35 points, and that night Michael Rix made his debut for the Saints against Sydney and kicked the first goal of the night, even though it shaved the goalpost.
March 6th, 2010 at 1:08 pm
Never seen Roughead, I’ve heard Rodney Eade lives in Ashburton, Todd viney used to before he moved to Adelaide, Luke Ball grew up around here, Adem Yze lives around, since his son goes to the child care centre that my sister works at (which is just up the street). And I think Robbo used to live around as well.
March 6th, 2010 at 1:10 pm
yep, as I said in my report which is up on the site, the seventh game that has been decided by 14 points or less.
Yeah, its so sad about Morton.
Josh, its 10:30 in Perth, which is surprisingly early, so 1:30 here. Gee, if the game was 10:30 here the game would start at 7:30 in perth lol
March 6th, 2010 at 1:10 pm
Yeah I agree Josh although you can’t help but wonder about the prospect of the new Home and Away Season, I certainly have March 25th marked in my calender.
Are we attending a Round 1 match or not?
March 6th, 2010 at 1:12 pm
It’s hard adjusting to the times of games in other states. When i went to Adelaide a few years ago i went to watch the footy at the standard 1:00 timeslot on Sunday on channel 9 but it started half an hour earlier.
March 6th, 2010 at 1:12 pm
Yeah, I really cant wait for Round 1. We’ll be going to at least one round 1 match,I think Josh is going to the almanac lunch so it’d make sense if we went to Geelong V Essendon that night
March 6th, 2010 at 1:13 pm
43: I couldn’t believe when i read that Tom Scully and Jack Trengove will be in Dean Bailey’s starting 22 on March 27 in the HS today, that’s only three weeks away!
I don’t know yet. Even if i can’t i’m sure you guys can still go.
March 6th, 2010 at 1:13 pm
Hahaha, its just common sense that NT, SA are 30 mins behind, and WA is 2 hours behind in non-day light savings, and 3 hours during day light savings here
March 6th, 2010 at 1:14 pm
Yeah the match is being played at Leederville, i’ll mirror waht Josh has mentioned and hope there are no major injuries and that youngsters perform admirably.
The only players that would show any animosity for the Pre-season comp is Shaun Rehn and to a lesser extent Matthew Lloyd.
March 6th, 2010 at 1:14 pm
47: And QLD are an hour behind during Day light savings.
March 6th, 2010 at 1:15 pm
Yeah the home and away season is fast approaching, thats for sure.
I’ve never had the problem, I went to Adelaide once when I was 1 or 2, apart from that ive never been out of the time zone
March 6th, 2010 at 1:16 pm
Yeah, your right Josh I forgot about that.
I remember when I got Yze’s autograph on my way home from school in grade 6..
March 6th, 2010 at 1:16 pm
Speaking of Shaun Rehn
March 6th, 2010 at 1:17 pm
I’ve never really had that problem even while I was in Adelaide throughout some stage of the footy season.
March 6th, 2010 at 1:17 pm
I find it amazing that Paul Salmon re-entered the game at 37 years of age in 2002, don’t yell at me for just realizing this now.
March 6th, 2010 at 1:19 pm
54- HAHAHAHA! lol, sorry I couldnt help myself
March 6th, 2010 at 1:19 pm
Oh so you were living inside a rock in 2002 just like Saddam Hussein! lol
Yeah the fish made a return in the Round 7 match against Carlton, Tony Lockett also made a well-documented comeback that year, albeit less successful.
March 6th, 2010 at 1:20 pm
55: Well, i did know, but i didn’t know he was 37. I just thought about researching him after seeing him kick a goal against Richmond in the Auskick CD’s Damo gave me.
March 6th, 2010 at 1:20 pm
53- Is your life an Australian road trip Damo? Although, I do understand you wanting to get away from Wantirna South
March 6th, 2010 at 1:21 pm
Yeah, Lockett just played 2 games. Remember the talk about James Hird making a comeback?
March 6th, 2010 at 1:21 pm
56: Yeah i knew about Plugger.
Damo, i didn’t know what AFL was in 2002! Well, i learnt in Round 20 of 2002 when i went to North v Carlton, which we won.
March 6th, 2010 at 1:21 pm
Someone told me that you can listen online to West Coast V Carlton on here: http://www.6pr.com.au/ it doesn’t seem to be working for me though
March 6th, 2010 at 1:22 pm
Josh, did you know that the current AFL logo came in 2000? lol
March 6th, 2010 at 1:23 pm
62: I know that Coca-Cola was one of the major sponsors of the AFL around that time..
March 6th, 2010 at 1:24 pm
58- What is wrong with wantirna south? lol you do realise I live in a housing estate so i’m probably live in the friendly part of the neighbourhood.
Yeah we do travel a lot, although I still haven’t been to Waaia!
Good to see your enjoying those Cd’s Josh.
March 6th, 2010 at 1:26 pm
What’s a wantirna?? Lol
Speaking of Waaia, driving out of my driveway this morning and we found eight cows crowding around our mailbox eating the grass around it. Dunno who’s they were, but they were gone by the time we got back.
March 6th, 2010 at 1:26 pm
64- Sorry I meant- I probably live.
Thanks Steve! I’ll try the link.
Yeah Coca-Cola was the major sponsor of the AFL from 1995-2000 I think.
March 6th, 2010 at 1:26 pm
Do you know what the old logo looked like? And how could you not know what the AFL was?
March 6th, 2010 at 1:28 pm
Wantirna South is a suburb in Eastern Melbourne- it’s produced footballers such as Ayden Kennedy, Peter Everitt, Kieran McGuiness etc.
March 6th, 2010 at 1:31 pm
Yeah i’m looking on Wikipedia now, i looked up Wantirna South and you can click surrounding suburbs and it keeps branching to the way your going, and i found Ashburton, then i looked for Croydon but couldn’t find it. I think Croydon is North-East of Melbourne, right?
67: Who cares what the old logo looked like, all that matters is here and now. And i had an idea of what AFL was i just couldn’t name one player other than Anthony Stevens. And i used to do footy tipping and i was raised to always pick North Melbourne and NEVER pick Carlton by my parents.
March 6th, 2010 at 1:31 pm
When I meant housing estate I didn’t mean a single building, I live in a two story house in a suburban area which is referred to as an estate.
Josh, I’m curious about your Dad’s footy career, who did he play for and in what capacity?
March 6th, 2010 at 1:31 pm
Kieran McGuiness lol. im sure there’d be more footy players from/ living in Ashburton that im not aware of
March 6th, 2010 at 1:32 pm
Croydon is near Lilydale it is an outer eastern suburb.
March 6th, 2010 at 1:33 pm
71- Yeah I know you’re right, Ashburton has probably produced footballers who have had a fair career.
March 6th, 2010 at 1:33 pm
ok, not only that radio link doesn’t work, but its stuffed up my computer twice
March 6th, 2010 at 1:34 pm
Yeah the link isn’t working on my computer either, doesn’t matter.
March 6th, 2010 at 1:35 pm
Ashburton is the best town. Friendly community, all the shops you need, two train stations, near schools, hospitals etc. And hardly any voilence either, an old man got bashed to death last year and obviously the pram incident, but apart from that Ashburton has a clean reputation
March 6th, 2010 at 1:36 pm
70: Two story!?!?!
I’m not entirely sure Damo, i think he played for 20 years but it was for Waaia, and played in the backline i think, and i think he kicked the winning point in a match once. I’ll ask tonight when he gets home from work.
March 6th, 2010 at 1:38 pm
lol I just read on Wikipedia that a politician once labelled Ashburton as ‘Kath and Kim’ country, which obviously indicates that she thiks the suburb has a lot of bogans.
But I think Ashburton is one of the best areas in Melbourne, I think you can categorise it as one of the leafy suburbs.
March 6th, 2010 at 1:39 pm
77- Josh I think I sent the address via e-mail have a look at the house on Google Earth.
It’s not that big, it’s just another two-storey house.
March 6th, 2010 at 1:39 pm
Dandenong has to be the best.
March 6th, 2010 at 1:40 pm
80- I do hope you are being sarcastic Josh.
March 6th, 2010 at 1:40 pm
The Eagles kicked the first goal of the game, thats all I know
March 6th, 2010 at 1:42 pm
Yeah its a leafy suburb
March 6th, 2010 at 1:42 pm
81: Haha
79: When did you send this email? And to what address?
I’ll take a wild prediction and say West Coast by 24 points.
March 6th, 2010 at 1:43 pm
I tipped Adelaide by 24 against the Dees today.
West Coast 2.1 13 Carlton 0.1 1, West Coast with the wind in the first
March 6th, 2010 at 1:44 pm
Damo, did you see the pics I sent of the Roos V Freo game?
March 6th, 2010 at 1:44 pm
I think I sent it to your address on the 10th February.
March 6th, 2010 at 1:45 pm
Yeah I saw the pics, the shot with Hayden Ballantyne sprinting to our direction is great.
March 6th, 2010 at 1:47 pm
Oh yeah i see it now, haha that’s my oldest email address, i don’t use it coz it has 2240 emails but luckily yours was on the second page. And obviously i never forwarded it to anyone, so i’ll do that now. Was their a reason you sent me that email? Did i ask you what your address was? I can’t remember.
March 6th, 2010 at 1:49 pm
Yeah Its awesome Damo lol.
Blues seem like their struggling
March 6th, 2010 at 1:50 pm
89- Yeah you asked me for my address.
March 6th, 2010 at 1:50 pm
Well I hope they can lift the intensity, are the blues still goalless?
March 6th, 2010 at 1:51 pm
Oh ok. Yeah it’s an alright looking house, i looked it up on streetview on Google maps. Obviously my house won’t come up on streetview but it’s 1187 Rendells Road Waaia if you want to have a look.
March 6th, 2010 at 1:52 pm
It was 2.1 13 to 0.2 2 a few minutes, Grigg kicked a behind
March 6th, 2010 at 1:54 pm

March 6th, 2010 at 1:56 pm
so you just live off the end of high st, thats interesting. So how do you get home from Glen Waverley station?
March 6th, 2010 at 1:56 pm
95- lol I knew that you would say that Steve, I don’t think my house compares to the vast luxurious houses in Ashburton.
March 6th, 2010 at 1:56 pm
Where are you getting this game information Steve?
I tried that link, it works for me except the media player won’t start playing.
March 6th, 2010 at 1:56 pm
97: Don’t forget the luxurious houses in Waaia!
March 6th, 2010 at 1:57 pm
I get driven home, my parents pick me up from the station.
March 6th, 2010 at 1:58 pm

Cheers Josh, its awesome that the Roos website has one of those things
March 6th, 2010 at 2:02 pm
Good effort on getting over 100 comments on this and we’ve only just gotten past dinner time!

March 6th, 2010 at 2:21 pm
kangaroos.com.au: Jess – no 9 pointers yet – going to be a tough with weather like this. However it has cleared up a bit for the moment.
WHAT AN IDIOT! there arent 9 pointers in challenge games, and this is coming from the person whos updating it!
March 6th, 2010 at 2:22 pm
Yeah i sent a comment saying their are no 9-pointers in NAB Challenge matches, but it never got put up.
Comment From Joe Joe: ]
SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNING – MELBOURNE AREA – stay safe people.
March 6th, 2010 at 2:22 pm
Eagles up 6.6 42 to 1.3 9, Roos up 0.1 1 to 3.1 19. This is the sort of game that Hawthorn would lose
March 6th, 2010 at 2:23 pm
same, severe thunderstorm warning? really?
March 6th, 2010 at 2:23 pm
by the way, there must be another Steve on the thing, cos I didnt say “bastinac will be a star”
March 6th, 2010 at 2:24 pm
Roos are doing very well, i’m surprised and glad. Urquhart kicked his first goal in blue and white colours.
That’s what Joe said, although Thunderstorms can’t hurt people, right? All it is is major sound.
March 6th, 2010 at 2:25 pm
exactly, Josh look at my last comment on the thing
March 6th, 2010 at 2:26 pm

For those lowlifes reading our conversation!
West Coast 7.6 48 to Carlton 2.5 17 at half time, Roos lead the Hawks 3.3 21 to 0.2 2

March 6th, 2010 at 2:44 pm
Whats there to be scared about, you can drive like no one else
March 6th, 2010 at 2:44 pm
Your not that sacred are you?
I find it stupid that people are commenting saying “Who got injured?” When they can just scroll down and see for themselves.
March 6th, 2010 at 2:44 pm
I dont wanna drive in the THUNDERSTROM!!!
March 6th, 2010 at 2:45 pm
ITS HAILINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

March 6th, 2010 at 2:49 pm

March 6th, 2010 at 2:52 pm

March 6th, 2010 at 2:52 pm
WELLS!
March 6th, 2010 at 2:52 pm
Wells is starring, 3 goals for him
March 6th, 2010 at 2:53 pm
Where’s Jeff? He’s always said Wells is a hack and doesn’t deserve a spot in the North side. Michael said that as well a couple of weeks ago.
March 6th, 2010 at 2:53 pm
hahahaha, absolutely hillarious situation, the kid next door’s parents are telling him to get down from the garage roof, hahaha!
March 6th, 2010 at 2:53 pm
I can hear it all perfectly
March 6th, 2010 at 2:54 pm
Yes i love hail! David Hale that is.
March 6th, 2010 at 2:56 pm
Eagles up 9.7 61 to 4.5 29 in the third. SHit, its actually hailing!
March 6th, 2010 at 2:56 pm
Edwards is kinda cute…
March 6th, 2010 at 2:57 pm

March 6th, 2010 at 2:57 pm
182: Yeah sorta
March 6th, 2010 at 3:00 pm
my roof sounds like its about to collapse!
March 6th, 2010 at 3:00 pm
183: can’t you say you don’t feel safe driving in those conditions?
March 6th, 2010 at 3:02 pm
its all white outside! there as big as golf balls
It is scary!
March 6th, 2010 at 3:03 pm
You can’t be serious. There is not a cloud in the sky here. Although i hope the rain and hail comes my way.
March 6th, 2010 at 3:04 pm
this is the most bizare weather ive ever seen!
March 6th, 2010 at 3:06 pm
windows broken!
March 6th, 2010 at 3:14 pm
0.3 3 to 7.4 46 at half time, what the hell!
March 6th, 2010 at 3:17 pm
I’m starting to get the roth of the hailstorm, I guess we are lucky we didn’t go to the footy today Steve, what was it you had planned?
March 6th, 2010 at 3:19 pm
yeah its very convinient that we chose not to go today!
March 6th, 2010 at 3:22 pm
I had planned? I just have to be home cos im sick and need rest or something.
Has Brisbane V Geelong been called off?
March 6th, 2010 at 3:24 pm
My lawn has turned into a ski resort it just consists of hailstones.
How are the blues faring?
March 6th, 2010 at 3:24 pm
it was 11.9 75 to 6.7 43 at three quarter time
March 6th, 2010 at 3:25 pm
Paul Peos 1993 Waverley Park, now I know how he felt that afternoon.
I wouldn’t be suprised if it has been called off.
March 6th, 2010 at 3:25 pm
same, its all white and dent st is a river
March 6th, 2010 at 3:26 pm
197- hahaha yeah Damo, im looking on the bigfooty forum now, It seems that the players went on the ground but the storm returned so they went back off, its gonna be hard to follow the Dees game on the radio lol
March 6th, 2010 at 3:29 pm
Franklin just kicked the first goal for the Hawks, but the Roos had kicked the first nine up to that point. And just kicked his second. 9.4.58 to 2.4.16.
March 6th, 2010 at 3:29 pm
I think Brisbane V Geelong has been officialy cancelled
March 6th, 2010 at 3:29 pm
unbelievable, how are the Hawks playing so shit?
March 6th, 2010 at 3:32 pm
expect a 5,000 crowd at Etihad tonight
March 6th, 2010 at 3:33 pm
Yep I heard a similar statement, I was just thinking what would we could have done in this situation we probably would’ve been stuck in the city.
Gee, North are definitely dominating which is an understatement.
I’m just checking the radar and the storm should ease in the short term.
March 6th, 2010 at 3:33 pm
Because they are playing the Roos!
I suspect the roof will be closed tonight.
March 6th, 2010 at 3:34 pm
On SEN someone said that all the roads to Etihad Stadium are flooded!
March 6th, 2010 at 3:34 pm
But seriously, I know they have a few stars out, but they must not be trying
March 6th, 2010 at 3:35 pm
Well I’ll be driven to the game tonight, providing we are still going.
My dad just pulled into the driveway so he has survived the storm lol.
March 6th, 2010 at 3:36 pm
Damo, how sad would it be if we went to a called off game
March 6th, 2010 at 3:38 pm
The Hawks have kicked 4 goals to 2 this quarter, 9.7.61 to 4.4.28.
March 6th, 2010 at 3:38 pm
Hawks are coming back: 4.4 28 to 9.5 59
March 6th, 2010 at 3:38 pm
does Franklin have 3 or 4?
March 6th, 2010 at 3:39 pm
Well don’t write them off yet.
I hope your parents cars are alright Steve,ours are a little worse for wear.
March 6th, 2010 at 3:40 pm
New facebook fanpage: “I SURVIVED THE GREAT MELBOURNE HAILSTORM OF 6 MARCH 2010″ -_-
March 6th, 2010 at 3:41 pm
214: Gee they work quick don’t they?
March 6th, 2010 at 3:41 pm
I dunno, my parents will be home later tonight.
Listen to SEN, apperantly the Cats are training on one of the grounds next to Visy Park, and they interrupted a cricket game that was being played
March 6th, 2010 at 3:44 pm
A cricket game in that weather? And the Cricketers should have told them to piss off, the Cats can’t just march onto any oval and take claim of it.
March 6th, 2010 at 3:46 pm
Yeah apparently there was a fight, they were waiting in the pavillion, hoping the rain would stop and the whole Geelong team just marched on in their playing gear. That wouldve been so funny lol
March 6th, 2010 at 3:48 pm
TQT- Hawks 4.4 28 Roos 9.8 62.
Its all over at Leederville- Eagles 16.9 105 Carlton 9.12 66, the Blues improved in the second half
March 6th, 2010 at 3:57 pm
Ben Ross has kicked two goals, he should be in North’s starting 22 come Round 1
March 6th, 2010 at 4:03 pm
The Roos seem really turned on for the 2010 season. Win to Geelong, Unfortunate loss to the Dockers, thrashing of the Hawks
March 6th, 2010 at 4:05 pm
Hmm, maybe Michael will belive me now that the Roos are in for a good year. Although the Hawks have kicked two quick goals to trail by 29 points.
March 6th, 2010 at 4:06 pm
10.10.70 to 6.5.41.
March 6th, 2010 at 4:10 pm
11.11.77 to 6.5.41. Matt Campbell kicked a nice goal on the run. Jack Ziebell has been impressive in the last quarter.
March 6th, 2010 at 4:11 pm
how many has buddy kicked?
March 6th, 2010 at 4:13 pm
225: Who cares? 3-5 goals, i know that much.
March 6th, 2010 at 4:13 pm
Urquhart just roved a pack to snap his second goal of the afternoon, 12.11.83 to 6.5.41.
March 6th, 2010 at 4:16 pm
ahh, Fiveaa on the net! 24 minutes till the game starts, Go DEES!
March 6th, 2010 at 4:17 pm
Roos won 12.11.83 to 6.7.43. Impressive game, Wells kicked 3, Ross and Urquhart booted 2 each. Best players were Bastinac, Wells, Urquhart, Ziebell and Josh Smith.
So where can i get coverage of Melbourne v Adelaide now?
March 6th, 2010 at 4:20 pm
go to fiveaa.com.au. Thanks for that Josh.
Lol, Apparently their starting at 4:50 instead of 4:30 cos the Dees arrived late to the ground! lol
March 6th, 2010 at 4:21 pm
the stream is working perfectly, no flaws at all. I love footy
March 6th, 2010 at 4:23 pm

Jurrah goal from over his head from the GS, Scully set shot from 50. GO DEES!
March 6th, 2010 at 5:13 pm
258- ooooooohhhhhhhh the dees are comming
March 6th, 2010 at 5:14 pm
259- It’s not all good news, couple of injuries.
March 6th, 2010 at 5:17 pm
to who?
March 6th, 2010 at 5:19 pm
Quarter time, Adelaide 3.2 20 to 3.0 18
A Goals: Tippett 2, Cook.
M Goals: Jurrah, Scully, Petterd.
Bell and Jurrah both off the ground with serious shoulder injuries!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO!
March 6th, 2010 at 5:19 pm
Jurrah and Bell, both shoulders the commentators are saying.
March 6th, 2010 at 5:20 pm
I cannot believe it, Jurrah’s injured!
On a brighter note, Scully and Trengove have been really impressive, Edwards, Mackay, Tippett and McLeod the best for Adelaide
Dees dominated from the 10-min mark
March 6th, 2010 at 5:21 pm
Yeah it was a topsy turvey quarter, Edwards is running amok and picking up easy touches everywhere.
March 6th, 2010 at 5:22 pm
So you’re listening online as well.
I just hope the Dees can get up now without the two
March 6th, 2010 at 5:23 pm
Yeah not anymore though, was a good first quarter there labbeling Scully as a left-footed Chris Judd.
March 6th, 2010 at 5:24 pm
OMG STEVE!!! JURRAH!! OMG
see THATS HWY U SHOULD REST YOUR PLAYERS UNTIL THE REAL SEASON!!
March 6th, 2010 at 5:34 pm
Goals to Miller and Maric! Dees by 9!!!! 21-30
March 6th, 2010 at 5:36 pm
Hey guys,
Gee let’s hope Jurrah’s injury isn’t too serious and he can be fully fit by Round 1, all the bad luck happens at Elizabeth.
It’s been chaos around my area, apparently Ferntree Gully was one of the worst hit and that’s about 5 minutes away. My dad was at Bunnings as the roth of the storm hit and all of the cars in the parking area were severly damaged, windscreens were broken and their was hail the size of golfballs smashing down on his car, so there are plenty of dents on the car.
I’d doubt that I can go to the match tonight, I guess I can settle for the delayed coverage.
March 6th, 2010 at 5:37 pm
Damo u have cute feet!
lol
March 6th, 2010 at 5:43 pm
Do you like the runners Danni? lol
March 6th, 2010 at 5:43 pm
Miller kicks his second!!!!!!!!!! 19 mins gone. 3.6 24 to 6.0 36. Trengove 14 possessions!
March 6th, 2010 at 5:47 pm
Hmm i send my love to Jurrah.
The Dees are being accurate, what’s the situation Steve? What jumpers, what’s the weather like, all that stuff.
March 6th, 2010 at 5:47 pm
272- lmao yep!
you two are so cute! would have been even cuter in matching raincoats!
March 6th, 2010 at 5:48 pm
allmost half time ill give a report then
March 6th, 2010 at 5:49 pm
i have the Age for the last 3 days, but have i even raed any of them? no

March 6th, 2010 at 5:51 pm
277: Good on you Danni. I’m looking forward to getting the AFL 2010 Fixture poster in my HS tomorrow, what will the Age have to offer?
March 6th, 2010 at 5:51 pm
I’m guessing you read Ralphy’s article about 6 times.
March 6th, 2010 at 5:52 pm
278- seriouly Josh, i can read a newspaper that DOESNT HAVE RALPHY!!
March 6th, 2010 at 5:52 pm
Damo what size shoe are you? Size 7? lol
March 6th, 2010 at 5:52 pm
281- damo has cute feet!
March 6th, 2010 at 5:53 pm
While Steve and I were in the city I pointed out the huge structure that is the Herald Sun building while The Age was a depleted old office that looked like it was around in the Depression era.
March 6th, 2010 at 5:53 pm
You mean he has a cute shoe, you can’t see his feet. If he was wearing thongs that statement would be correct, but you can’t wear thongs to the footy.
March 6th, 2010 at 5:54 pm
lmaoo i was in sydney my cousin drove me to the city and we passed the offices for ‘The Morning Herald’ or whatever its called there and hes like “ill drop you off here?” and im liek “YES!”
March 6th, 2010 at 5:55 pm

March 6th, 2010 at 5:56 pm

March 6th, 2010 at 5:58 pm
lol is it?
HAPPY BIRTHDAY GREG! LOL
March 6th, 2010 at 5:58 pm
Siren just sounded!
Adelaide 3.7 25 Melbourne 7.2 44 at half time.
Goals Adel: Tippett 2, Cook. Melb: Petterd 2, Miller 2, Maric, Scully, Jurrah.
Dees too strong, Adelaide really fumbly and inaccurate when kicking on goal. Trengove 16 possessions (11 in that quarter), McDonald 16 while McLeod and Mackay have 13 each for the Crows.
The Crows havent kicked a goal since the 10 minute mark of the first quarter
March 6th, 2010 at 5:58 pm
In the words of Brian Taylor- ITS ABSOLUTELY PISSING DOWN!
March 6th, 2010 at 5:59 pm
Hahaha you guys are getting the storm now!
Its also raining in Elizabeth
March 6th, 2010 at 5:59 pm
294- I’m gonna miss BRIAN after I play on a saturday arvo :/
March 6th, 2010 at 6:00 pm
steve- i would hav stolen ur jumper/jacket its cute as!
March 6th, 2010 at 6:00 pm
295: You can’t even see past our driveway! Although no hail to speak of yet, its also heavy thunder and lightning. If my power goes out at around 8:30..:|
March 6th, 2010 at 6:01 pm
297: I have an almost idential hoody, although i can’t find it
March 6th, 2010 at 6:03 pm
299- omg u HAVE to find it! it looks so cosy id so wear that!
March 6th, 2010 at 6:03 pm

March 6th, 2010 at 6:04 pm
302: Don’t you mean get better Jurrah? Screw Bell lol.
I’m having real doubts about the Crows for 2010 now..
March 6th, 2010 at 6:05 pm
IT ISNT RAINING !?!?!
March 6th, 2010 at 6:06 pm
Were you wearing the same T-Shirt as the North-Geelong match underneath Steve?
Don’t doubt the Crows just yet Josh, I still believe they will be a real contender this season with talent across the board.
March 6th, 2010 at 6:06 pm
BELLS STILL GOOD!
Tippett took a screamer on the goal line in that second but missed.
They really need Vince, Burton, Porplyzia, Knights and Bock in their side.
But to be fair, the Dees have Bruce, Davey, Sylvia, Moloney, Morton, Johnson and Watts all out
March 6th, 2010 at 6:07 pm
302- lol YESS i want it! lol
March 6th, 2010 at 6:07 pm
No I don’t think I was Damo.
Its started raining here again.
I don’t care if ive said this a million times in the last day, I love footy!
March 6th, 2010 at 6:08 pm
By the way my feet size are about 11 or 12
March 6th, 2010 at 6:08 pm
I’m a bit peeved at the 8:30 start for tonight’s game, usually i’m watching Saturday nights game by 7:30 but i have to wait an extra hour.
March 6th, 2010 at 6:09 pm
I’m fine with the 8:30 start, if it was another Saturday I probably wouldn’t be but on a day like this im content
March 6th, 2010 at 6:09 pm
Anyeay I’m off to the St Kilda-Fremantle match, hopefully the Dees hang on for a victory.
March 6th, 2010 at 6:09 pm

March 6th, 2010 at 6:11 pm
Don’t be surprised if you get a text off me Damo, if my power goes out i’m relying on you for the scores. Haha just kidding, but seriously.
March 6th, 2010 at 6:13 pm

March 6th, 2010 at 6:13 pm

Has anyone heard Justin Bieber? How homosexual is he?
March 6th, 2010 at 6:20 pm
Bieber is cute BUT im no Cougar!
March 6th, 2010 at 6:21 pm
Danni have you heard ‘Weightless’ by All Time Low? If not, download it.
March 6th, 2010 at 6:21 pm
Justin Bieber brings all the girls to the yard, and there like can you even get hard ?
March 6th, 2010 at 6:21 pm
334: Haha, even Lady Gaga’s more manly than him.
March 6th, 2010 at 6:22 pm
334- lmaoo like i said im no cougar!
March 6th, 2010 at 6:23 pm
Oh the next person to say Cougar is gonna get it. When i see 35-45 y.o women these days i just think slut thanks to that TV show.
March 6th, 2010 at 6:23 pm

7 mins in. 4.7 31 to 7.3 45
March 6th, 2010 at 6:23 pm

March 6th, 2010 at 6:24 pm
337- lmaoo but im not! i dont chase younger dudes!
March 6th, 2010 at 6:25 pm

March 6th, 2010 at 6:27 pm
34-
March 6th, 2010 at 6:27 pm
341-
*
March 6th, 2010 at 6:29 pm
341- Would you rather they played for Collingwood ? lol
March 6th, 2010 at 6:29 pm
lmao Jeff i had it set in concrete that i MUST marry a collingwood suporter
i thought about it, and i think it wold be kinda more fun to have a rivalry in the relationship.
March 6th, 2010 at 6:30 pm
LOL – saw the thing about the cricket match. Geelong did not interrupt, that would have been a joke. There was no way cricket was still being played. It had been pelting down monsoon-style for an hour.
Cricket gets called off when it’s spitting – this was one of the biggest storms I’ve ever seen. Terrential rain, hailstones the size of golf balls, strong winds and thunder and lightning to boot.
March 6th, 2010 at 6:30 pm
344- well if JACK proposes there is a DEFINATE chance that i will accept. lmao
March 6th, 2010 at 6:32 pm
346: Well it started here an hour ago, but it seems to be holding off now though, although thunder and lightning is staying around.
Susie, were you one of the people that went to Visy Park today only to be told to go home? Lol
March 6th, 2010 at 6:32 pm
Come on Dees!!!! 5.10 to 7.3!
March 6th, 2010 at 6:34 pm
F*ck! 6.10 46 to 7.3 45. Crows playing well now, Tippett has 4!!!
March 6th, 2010 at 6:37 pm
They were bigger than golf balls in my area Susie I can guarentee that.
I’ve come back because we just recieved a bulletin saying that the St Kilda-Freo game will be delayed and their is a strong likelihood that spectators will NOT be allowed in. Plus the police have released a statement that we should avoid the city if possible, although I haven’t found anything on the internet.
This is due to the damage to the stadium and cancellations in the city.
March 6th, 2010 at 6:38 pm
348: Yes -_-
I travelled ALL the way from Werribee … Ah, well. Got to see the boys train – that was hilarious.
March 6th, 2010 at 6:40 pm
WHAT!?
March 6th, 2010 at 6:40 pm
351: What??? What’s going on??
March 6th, 2010 at 6:41 pm
352: Lol, i saw on TV this group of girls running into cover from the rain, and I wondered if it was you.
March 6th, 2010 at 6:42 pm
352- HAWKINS? MACKIE? MOONEY??
March 6th, 2010 at 6:43 pm
355: Nah, i toughed it out. I had a jacket, I was right.
March 6th, 2010 at 6:43 pm
Mooney and Hawkins are the ugliest pair in the game Danni!
March 6th, 2010 at 6:43 pm
357: True supporter you are!
March 6th, 2010 at 6:43 pm
Yeah there is a good chance that there will be no spectators able to enter Etihad Stadium because of damage, my Dad and I decided there is no point travelling there and getting asked to go home.
There will be major chaos in the city anyway with street flooding and cancellations.
March 6th, 2010 at 6:44 pm
358- ARE NOT!!!
lol WOW Susie! i would have ran to the nearest shelter, wouldnt want Jack to see my hair get wet and or frizzy
March 6th, 2010 at 6:44 pm
353- Oh you were there Susie! lol.
Thats incredible Damo.
Three quarter time siren has sounded. Adelaide 7.12 54 Melbourne 8.3 51, Adelaide absolutely dominated, Petterd was the only spark with a goal.
Goals
ADelaide: Tippett 4, Cook, Petrenko, Mackay.
melbourne: Petterd 3, Miller 2, Maric, Jurrah, Scully
March 6th, 2010 at 6:44 pm
360: So, is the match still being played? And if so, does that mean the only people watching it will be the coaching staff? What is with St Kilda and Fremantle, never a dull moment when these two play!
March 6th, 2010 at 6:45 pm
358: Lies, all lies!
Scarlo and Dasher got a bit too into the wrestling drill, next thing you know, Mooney and Taylor have jumped onto the stack as well, LOL. Chappy and Hunt were enjoying themselves a bit too much too, and next thing you know, Chappy’s guernsey is up around his neck, hahahaa.
March 6th, 2010 at 6:47 pm
OMG!! did Mooney loose his Guernsey too?
now thats a sight!
March 6th, 2010 at 6:47 pm
Steve, how do i get radio coverage of the game? I went to the website but can’t find a link saying Adelaide v Melbourne??
March 6th, 2010 at 6:47 pm
363: Yeah contoversy surrounds matches that involve these two teams.
The match will still go ahead however it will be delayed and like I said there will be a good chance spectators aren’t allowed in.
I was just thinking this time last year we had an earthquake and now a hailstorm, melbourne is a strange place from a weather perspective.
March 6th, 2010 at 6:47 pm
Barn, Barn, Barn. ‘Shakes head.’
March 6th, 2010 at 6:48 pm
in the right hand corner it should say “listen live”.
Thats unbelievable, the game has to be on!
Ricky Henderson looks good for the Crows, Petrenko’s been starring as well. Trengove’s had about 22 possessions
March 6th, 2010 at 6:49 pm
Good for you Susie, you are a diehard supporter I hope you didn’t bet battered by the hail lol.
March 6th, 2010 at 6:49 pm
369- Is Edwards still racking the possies up ?
March 6th, 2010 at 6:49 pm
368: What? They’re ugly, you know it!
“Hayden Ballantyne runs into goal and kicks it, and the crowd goes wild!!” Haha that won’t be happening now.
Don’t worry i found it.
March 6th, 2010 at 6:49 pm
Steve the match is on but spectators probably won’t be allowed in.
March 6th, 2010 at 6:50 pm
371- He’s been a bit quiet since.
COME ON DEES, WIN THE GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah Susie, me and Damo were considering going but I wasnt allowed to, which was good lol
March 6th, 2010 at 6:50 pm
last quarters started
March 6th, 2010 at 6:51 pm
374- Thats a bit of a suprise.
March 6th, 2010 at 6:51 pm
By the way I’m getting information from the radio so this is unconfirmed.
March 6th, 2010 at 6:51 pm
ARE NOT!! MOONEY is HOT!
March 6th, 2010 at 6:52 pm
Jurrah has broken his arm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
March 6th, 2010 at 6:53 pm
379: I’m sorry Steve, but its hard not to laugh at that.
March 6th, 2010 at 6:53 pm
379- Ahhh thats terrible news, he is super exciting to watch.
March 6th, 2010 at 6:53 pm
370: Why thank-you
I think the stand I’m thinking of is the Ross Heatley stand? It’s the newest one with the wavy roof. Anywho, that is the most ill-conceived, impractical stadium in Australia. That’s all I have to say.
March 6th, 2010 at 6:53 pm
Oh and how has Austin Wonaeamirri gone?
March 6th, 2010 at 6:53 pm
Really? Steve I wouldn’t be suprised if you are in tears at the moment, this is Matthew Lloyd 2006 all over again.
March 6th, 2010 at 6:55 pm
379: No! That sucks
Is it definite? Not just suspected?
March 6th, 2010 at 6:55 pm
7.13 55 to 8.3 51 about 5 minutes gone
March 6th, 2010 at 6:55 pm
Yeah I did miss the old Robert Heatley stand, it stood throughout both Carlton’s glorious and horror eras and it is a great hitorical figure.
I’m a little sceptical about the new stand as well.
March 6th, 2010 at 6:56 pm
Steve that wouldnt have heppend if i was coaching the Dees.
March 6th, 2010 at 6:56 pm
Be thankful though Steve, its only a broken arm so he should be back by Round 3-5.
March 6th, 2010 at 6:57 pm
Demons in front by the way thanks to a goal to Maric.
March 6th, 2010 at 6:57 pm
Scully to Maric, goal! 55-57
March 6th, 2010 at 6:58 pm
Have you seen footage of the incident which caused the broken arm?
How far are we into the last quarter?
March 6th, 2010 at 6:58 pm
387: The terrential rain swept into the stadium, so the first 40 rows were vacated. The wavy roof makes it all kinds of non-weather proof
And the tin roof! Good in theory, not when it has thousands upon thousands of huge hailstones smashing into it. Sounded like I was in the middle of a war, everyone was shouting at the top of their lungs to be heard above it.
March 6th, 2010 at 6:59 pm
I’m going to watch the coverage on the streaming site and see what the situation is at Docklands.
March 6th, 2010 at 6:59 pm
393: I know how it feels, our roof is tin so when we have a hailstone it’s pretty hard to hear the parents.
March 6th, 2010 at 7:01 pm
Kurt Tippett just took a screamer. I’ll leave the rest to Steve to commentate, as he probably wants too.
March 6th, 2010 at 7:02 pm
I cant stand this!!!!!!!!!!!
March 6th, 2010 at 7:03 pm
397: It’s only a praccy match.
March 6th, 2010 at 7:04 pm
its alright Darlingdee!
March 6th, 2010 at 7:04 pm
Did you hear that Steve? “Scores locked, 9.3 to 7.1″ lol
March 6th, 2010 at 7:05 pm
Scores are level. 57-57.
I dont care, I cant stop nervously shaking!
March 6th, 2010 at 7:06 pm
401- breathe Stevey, breathe!!
March 6th, 2010 at 7:06 pm
The match at Etihad Stadium will be delayed by 20 minutes.
The Medallion Club has been shut which was where our initial sets were and one gate is open so don’t expect too many spectators.
March 6th, 2010 at 7:06 pm
How DO you say Gysberts? I thought it was Gis-berts.
March 6th, 2010 at 7:06 pm
AHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 63-58!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Crows winning!
March 6th, 2010 at 7:07 pm
Steve it’s only a practice match in one of the worst neighborhoods in Australia, calm down lol.
March 6th, 2010 at 7:07 pm
403: It may be postponded until later tonight or tomorrow.
March 6th, 2010 at 7:08 pm
406- Damo this is STEVE u cnt even consider that he will calm down, just remind him to breathe is all we can do.
March 6th, 2010 at 7:08 pm
Trengove!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! has missed from 30! F!!!!!!!!
March 6th, 2010 at 7:10 pm
argghhh bloody idiot, see if it were JACK anthony he would have split the middle….Trengrove- FAIL WHALE!!
March 6th, 2010 at 7:10 pm
I’ll return the favour Steve:
CARN DEES!!
March 6th, 2010 at 7:10 pm
Now Scully’s turn!
March 6th, 2010 at 7:11 pm
Scully misses everything! Your kidding!
March 6th, 2010 at 7:11 pm
Fox Sports are currently showin a replay of the Fremantle-Geelong match last year.
Apparently Worksafe inspectors are observing the ground but I am pretty sure it will be played later tonight. Who knows the game might be Live on Channel 10 after all lol.
March 6th, 2010 at 7:11 pm
They’re tanking..
March 6th, 2010 at 7:12 pm
ohh sh*t…
March 6th, 2010 at 7:12 pm
Josh TANKING DOES NOT EXIST!!!!!
How far out was Scully?
March 6th, 2010 at 7:12 pm
415- lmaooo yeah…okayy
March 6th, 2010 at 7:13 pm
414: If they reschedule it for tomorrow, i won’t be too upset, as a footy-less Sunday would kill me, and i’ve got my footy fix for today. But i still wish it will be played tonight. What idiot left the roof open!?
March 6th, 2010 at 7:13 pm
417: 25m, 45 degree angle.
Brad Green’s just marked!
March 6th, 2010 at 7:13 pm
GREEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 25 out directly in front!!! kick it! kick it!
March 6th, 2010 at 7:14 pm
STEVE!! HE MISSED IT!
March 6th, 2010 at 7:14 pm
419- Dicko wouldn’t be happy lol.
March 6th, 2010 at 7:14 pm
Josh the ground is in excellent condition so that is not an issue.
I’m stilol confident it will be scheduled for tonight.
March 6th, 2010 at 7:15 pm
419: The same one who left it open for last year’s NAB Cup Final when is poured…
March 6th, 2010 at 7:15 pm
424: The radio station is saying the roof was left open.
Now OUR radio station is saying the game is starting in 15 minutes! What is going on??
March 6th, 2010 at 7:16 pm
it*
March 6th, 2010 at 7:16 pm
The Dockers are on the ground now!
March 6th, 2010 at 7:17 pm
I don’t think your radio station is relaible Josh lol.
But I think it will begin in 15 minutes.
March 6th, 2010 at 7:17 pm
STEVE!!
March 6th, 2010 at 7:18 pm
PETTERD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YES!!!!! YES!!!! 63-67!!!!!!! WERE IN FRONT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
March 6th, 2010 at 7:18 pm
I DROVE DANE SWANS PORSCHE……
March 6th, 2010 at 7:20 pm
They’ll probably still be playing to an empty ground. Flinders Street under water. Half of footscray under water. Half the city under water … No one will show up :-S
March 6th, 2010 at 7:20 pm
NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
March 6th, 2010 at 7:20 pm
Ah better luck next week Steve
March 6th, 2010 at 7:21 pm
Susie there are people waiting outside the gate so I’d predict possibly 1000-2000 if they let spectators in.
March 6th, 2010 at 7:21 pm
THis is bull shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FUCK YOU TIPPETT!!!!!!!!!
March 6th, 2010 at 7:22 pm
437- whoa
March 6th, 2010 at 7:22 pm
I cannot believe it, I cant believe it at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
March 6th, 2010 at 7:23 pm
This is a carbon copy of Hawthorn V Melbourne last year!!!!!! NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
March 6th, 2010 at 7:23 pm
The fans have been allowed in.
March 6th, 2010 at 7:24 pm
437: …
STEVE, ITS A NAB CHALLENGE MATCH! HOW ARE YOU GONNA COPE IN THE REAL SEASON!?
March 6th, 2010 at 7:24 pm
440- Steve, its okay…well no its not but…well UR STUPID COACH SHOULDNT HAVE PLAYED JURRAH!!
March 6th, 2010 at 7:24 pm
Poor Steve lol.
March 6th, 2010 at 7:25 pm
ILL BE CALM IN A FEW MINUTES!
March 6th, 2010 at 7:25 pm
Petterd kicked a good goal late to put the Dees in front after Miller, Trengove, Scully and Green all missed easy shots at goal, but the Crows won a free kick to Tippett with 10 seconds remaining to kick his fifth.
March 6th, 2010 at 7:26 pm
Well big Kurt Tippett stands up under immense pressure as we found out in last years Semi Final only to be upstaged by none other than Jack Anthony.
March 6th, 2010 at 7:27 pm
447- yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh BABYYYYYY!!
THAT MY MAN!! yeahh MY MAN!!! woooooooo
Farkk yeah!!
March 6th, 2010 at 7:28 pm
Well its fair to say, the goal he kicked 10 minutes ago was nothing compared to the Semi-Final goal but yeah he is a money-man.
According to this Adelaide radio station, the roof had a minor collapse at Etihad.
March 6th, 2010 at 7:28 pm
Steve you should be used to disappointment by now.
March 6th, 2010 at 7:29 pm
449- What have I been telling you for the past half-hour!!!! lol
March 6th, 2010 at 7:29 pm
450: Don’t mess with the enraged beast Damo
March 6th, 2010 at 7:29 pm
You never said anything about a roof collapse!
March 6th, 2010 at 7:29 pm
Come on Steve since u hate Tippet now u must like Jack a little bit more!!
March 6th, 2010 at 7:30 pm
The game is underway.
March 6th, 2010 at 7:36 pm
I think I said that there was damage to the roof of the stadium anyway at least the match is underway.
Are you going to watch the delayed coverage Josh?
March 6th, 2010 at 7:37 pm
Yeah, although i’m listening to the match now because i haven’t gotten out of the radio link after listening to the earlier game. I presume the match is still on at 8:30 on ch10?
March 6th, 2010 at 7:37 pm
So whats going on? Did the match start at 7:30.
Ok, dinner calmed me down a bit, I was just lost in the moment, it was such an unlucky ending to the game, I knew we’d lose
March 6th, 2010 at 7:38 pm
457- yeah I hope so
March 6th, 2010 at 7:38 pm
Yeah after the Simpsons Movie.
March 6th, 2010 at 7:39 pm
guys check ur emails
lmaoo at Joshy photo
March 6th, 2010 at 7:39 pm
Simpsons Movie? I’m off.
March 6th, 2010 at 7:40 pm
Josh sent a photo?
TIPPETT YOU FOOL!!!!! EVEN THOUGH I DIDNT SEE IT, I COULD TELL IT WASNT A FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
March 6th, 2010 at 7:42 pm
463: Yeah to Danni, it was the one of me drinking that awesome slushee drink that you’ve probably seen on FB.
Danni, that’s a scary photo.
March 6th, 2010 at 7:42 pm
lmaoo i love Damo even more…
hahahahah Jack upstaged tippett= FAILLLLLL WHALEEEEEE!! lmaoo
March 6th, 2010 at 7:42 pm
464- really i think i look good in it!
March 6th, 2010 at 7:42 pm
I’m telling you Steve it is the Elizabeth curse, they hate Victorians!
Anyhow despite those late misses how did Scully and Trengrove fair generally?
March 6th, 2010 at 7:42 pm
But, really Tippett played a great game, 5/9 Adelaide goals. I cannot believe we blew that. We missed 4 easy shots in a row!!!!!!!!!
March 6th, 2010 at 7:43 pm
467- Magnificent, Scully had 23 odd possessions and Trengove 26, absolutely brilliant both of them
March 6th, 2010 at 7:43 pm
They were outstanding, so was Jizberts.
March 6th, 2010 at 7:44 pm
Its blood Gis-Berts, stupid commentators
March 6th, 2010 at 7:46 pm
Yeah the FiveAA commentary team are well renowned for being completely biased to South Australian teams although you can’t blame them SA is their demographic audience.
March 6th, 2010 at 7:46 pm
So Steve what’s your opinion on star-players playing in NAB Challenge matches? Nothing happened to Jack Anthony, like Danni predicted would happen, but Jurrah broke his arm.
March 6th, 2010 at 7:48 pm
Well these star players I suppose do have a custom to play in these regional areas that don’t have too much exposure to AFL footy.
March 6th, 2010 at 7:48 pm
Well, the Dees had a number of stars rested, it was just bad luck that Jurrah got injured. THey said at least 6 weeks, so im hoping hes back for Round 3 or 4 or something
March 6th, 2010 at 7:49 pm
I remember when Nathan Thompson did his knee in a NAB Challenge game in 2007, i felt physically sick when i saw it on the back of the HS. Turns out we didn’t need him for the year.
March 6th, 2010 at 7:49 pm
steve dont i make a cool vampire?
March 6th, 2010 at 7:49 pm
I really cant believe im taking a practice match this seriously! It just goes to show how passionate I am
March 6th, 2010 at 7:50 pm
477- Yep, lol
March 6th, 2010 at 7:51 pm
Well Carlton lossed but that seems secondary after what happened today.
March 6th, 2010 at 7:52 pm
its just been a very chaotic day, and weve all contributed 481 almanac comments lol
March 6th, 2010 at 7:52 pm
I was showing more emotion in the Melbourne v Adelaide game than the North v Hawks game.
March 6th, 2010 at 7:53 pm
Correction 482- How have your parents reacted to the broken windows Steve?
March 6th, 2010 at 7:53 pm
Steve, you amaze me.
if Jack got injured i would be crying my eyes out right now.
i guess its diff cos ur not in love iwth jurrah
March 6th, 2010 at 7:53 pm
Thats cos it was actually on the radio, Josh.
Bloody Tippett, as mad as I was I had to give him 3 votes though
March 6th, 2010 at 7:55 pm
I would give Trengove 3 votes Steve. Its a NAB Challenge game give the votes to some Dees players!
It’s fair to say this has been our most prolific day on the Almanac, even missing Michael and Adam, who only contributed a handful of comments. We talk way too much.
March 6th, 2010 at 7:55 pm
Danni, im worried, but yeah its probably not the same, it’ll probably take a bit longer to hit me.
I dunno Damo, they understood and cleaned it up when they got home.
My Mum got really angry with me for not coming for dinner during the last quarter, and I tried to explain just before and she goes
“ITS ONLY A PRACTICE MATCH”!!
March 6th, 2010 at 7:56 pm
2 to Trenners, 1 to Scully
March 6th, 2010 at 7:57 pm
ive been on and off the almanac all day, lol, I didnt have anything else to do, I wasn’t allowed to go out
March 6th, 2010 at 7:57 pm
Steve, comment 383
March 6th, 2010 at 7:58 pm
Wonaeamirri? he didnt play, hes still injured
March 6th, 2010 at 7:58 pm
Oh..it said in the HS that he was playing his first game since 2008..
March 6th, 2010 at 7:59 pm
status- packet of Tim-Tams
March 6th, 2010 at 7:59 pm
492- Easy mistake to be made. .
March 6th, 2010 at 8:00 pm
Well, he was in the squad, but I think he still has injury troubles. Joel MacDonald didnt play either
March 6th, 2010 at 8:00 pm
I need to watch ch7 to see that Tippett mark..
March 6th, 2010 at 8:01 pm
Yeah I really wanna see that as well, hopefully its on the AFL website too
March 6th, 2010 at 8:01 pm
JURRAH SHOULDNT HAVE PLAYED! NAB cup should be a chance to put in all your rookies and young guns to see how they work on the field! Not to play your starts in chance they might get injuries!
March 6th, 2010 at 8:03 pm
Jurrah needed to play, Danni, we didnt have anyone else who could’ve filled his spot, pretty much.
I probably would be more pissed off about Jurrah if we had gotten absolutely hammered, but the closeness of the game put my mind off his injury
March 6th, 2010 at 8:04 pm
AFL match centre aren’t aware that St.Kilda V Freo is underway…
March 6th, 2010 at 8:05 pm
499- well this is were we disagree ey steve.
i think it hurts more that u had a chance of winning but didnt so not olny have u lost the game but u also lost a key player.
March 6th, 2010 at 8:06 pm
You can watch it on stream Steve.
March 6th, 2010 at 8:07 pm
well I reckon we would’ve won if Jurrah had not gotten injured, but we should’ve won anyway, since when has Green missed from 20 out directly in front!!!!!!!
March 6th, 2010 at 8:07 pm
well, I dont wanna know the score, im just wondering why AFL match centre havent updated it yet
March 6th, 2010 at 8:08 pm
503- Green did a Leigh Brown.
Seriously i think Leigh and Travis. Cloke are as bad as each other on set-shots!
March 6th, 2010 at 8:09 pm
its not the same, Danni, Green is as good a kick in the comp as anyone. And how can Scully put it out on the full from 25 on a 45 degree angle? far out
March 6th, 2010 at 8:10 pm
was Miller playing? hes kinda hot
March 6th, 2010 at 8:13 pm
what about his wife? jeez, shes hot
March 6th, 2010 at 8:14 pm
Yeah he was playing, kicked 2 goals, hes getting back into a bit of form
March 6th, 2010 at 8:15 pm
Pia? yeah shes gorgeous!
such a cute couple id have to say after Meddy and his Haylee
Brad and Pia are my sec fav afl couple
March 6th, 2010 at 8:16 pm
just gorgeous!
http://images.triplem.com.au/2009/09/08/260542/mvp-gallery-brad-green-600×400.jpg
March 6th, 2010 at 8:20 pm
Yeah, anyway off now cya
March 6th, 2010 at 9:38 pm
What a shocking game and what a shocking telecast.
March 6th, 2010 at 9:40 pm
I know, they are doing blocks of ads, and they didn’t show Geary’s kick!
Oh well, im just happy that the game went ahead tonight lol, I wonder why Mayne, Ballantyne, Sandilands and McPharlin all got left out?
March 6th, 2010 at 9:42 pm
I’m pissed off that Ballantyne isn’t playing.
So it was Geary who kicked that Supergoal?
March 6th, 2010 at 9:42 pm
Jones has 24 possessions at half time! wow!!!!!
March 6th, 2010 at 9:43 pm
yeah im pretty certain
March 6th, 2010 at 10:24 pm
good quarter, how good is Clinton Jones?
March 6th, 2010 at 10:27 pm
Very good
Tom Lynch is impressive too.
March 6th, 2010 at 11:03 pm
Speaking of Jones, was Andrew Thompson the last St Kilda player to wear number 4 or was there someone after him?
March 6th, 2010 at 11:04 pm
Votes:
3. Jones, 2. Gram, 1. Gilbert.
Impressive crowd of 5,241, im being serious, considering the circumstances
March 6th, 2010 at 11:05 pm
Yeah i was expecting a crowd of 2-3 thousand.
3: Jones, 2: Armitage, 1: Gilbert
March 6th, 2010 at 11:06 pm
Yeah same, I’m pretty sure it was Thompson on the topic, Josh.
The Swans beat the Bombers 14.7 91 to 9.9 63 at Blacktown
March 6th, 2010 at 11:07 pm
Not impressed, AFL match centre didn’t update the game!
March 6th, 2010 at 11:08 pm
Oh and how did Morabito kick his supergoal? I just returned to my room as the umpire was bouncing the ball in the middle so i missed it. I’m guessing it was from a 50m penalty?
March 6th, 2010 at 11:11 pm
nah, it was a great quick clearance from the Dockers which saw Morabito kick a goal on the run from 55
March 6th, 2010 at 11:11 pm
Gee i’m excited for Friday’s Sydney v North Melbourne match, this will be the Roos’ biggest test since the Geelong game.
March 6th, 2010 at 11:12 pm
I’m more excited about the actual season.
March 6th, 2010 at 11:13 pm
has next weeks fixture been released?
March 6th, 2010 at 11:13 pm
Is that because the NAB Cup hasn’t been to kind to the Tigers Adam? Lol
March 6th, 2010 at 11:13 pm
529: Nah i read this on the Sydney website.
March 6th, 2010 at 11:14 pm
…I bet post-game on March 25 Adam will be saying “I can’t wait till the next season” lol
March 6th, 2010 at 11:14 pm
531- ok
March 6th, 2010 at 11:15 pm
Its tragic that Taylor is injured for the Hawks, Renouf might have to ruck the whole season by himself lol
March 6th, 2010 at 11:15 pm
532: I wouldn’t be so sure, Carlton aren’t as fearful as they were last year. I would say the Tigers have a good chance at knocking off the Blues.
March 6th, 2010 at 11:16 pm
534: How long is he out for? And it’s a bit of karma for Taylor.
March 6th, 2010 at 11:16 pm
I agree with the Barnstable.
I’m sad about Simon Taylor getting injured too, he always provides a good source of comic relief. Unique among the Hawk players, he advertises his IQ on the back of his guernsey.
March 6th, 2010 at 11:17 pm
Yeah, I think they are too, I was only joking. I actually did a pretend match the other day of the Round 1 game, the Tigers won 21.11 137 to 20.10 130, Riewoldt kicked 6 from memory, and Tambling had 40 possessions and Cousins 38
March 6th, 2010 at 11:17 pm
536- Not sure yet
March 6th, 2010 at 11:18 pm
537: Lol
538: I did one yesterday, it started with Matt White taking a gutsy mark to kick the first goal but then i gave up on it.
March 6th, 2010 at 11:18 pm
537- hahaha good one
March 6th, 2010 at 11:19 pm
538: Who kicked Carlton’s goals? Thornton??
March 6th, 2010 at 11:20 pm
I actually did almost a whole first half in my head until I skipped some bits lol
Despite the Tigers victory, Martin only had about 5 possessions for the whole game
March 6th, 2010 at 11:21 pm
Betts kicked 4 or 5, Garlett kicked a couple, Murphy kicked 3 I think, im having trouble remembering.
March 6th, 2010 at 11:22 pm
Nice to see you’ve settled down from the Melbourne v Adelaide incident Steve, and if you had forgotten about it, don’t read this comment.
March 6th, 2010 at 11:23 pm
no i’ve settled down completely.
I did go a bit over the top in comments such as 409,431,434 and 437 lol
March 6th, 2010 at 11:25 pm
I have a feeling that the Dees are playing down at Casey next week…
March 6th, 2010 at 11:25 pm
Your nerve will really be tested when Tom Scully and Jack Trengove collide next weekend and both resort to having the I.Q of Kepler Bradley, who played pretty well tonight.
March 6th, 2010 at 11:28 pm
The smell of potato has weakened with Kepler.
March 6th, 2010 at 11:30 pm
Your nerve will really be tested in 2013 when Majak Daw finally debuts and Liam Anthony crashes into him, giving Daw a broken collarbone. Anthony’s excuse: sorry I didn’t see you there
March 6th, 2010 at 11:34 pm
Now your being racist. Go to bed Stephen.
March 6th, 2010 at 11:38 pm
Steve that’s really in bad taste. Also, if anything Majak would be more visible.
On the topic of visibility, anyone play “Where’s Relton?” in the Richmond team photo in the Herald Sun? Last year I had trouble with “Where’s Ross Tungatulum?”
March 6th, 2010 at 11:38 pm
Dont you dare bring out that line!
Hey Josh, do you remember the score for tonights match?
March 6th, 2010 at 11:39 pm
Hows that in bad taste, Josh deserved it!
March 6th, 2010 at 11:41 pm
Majak is a top bloke.
March 6th, 2010 at 11:42 pm
552: Haha i know what you mean, I suppose all you saw was a yellow sash, yellow hooped socks and white boots and some eyes?
2.15.7.115 to 2.3.9.45, what do you notice about tonight’s score Steve?
March 6th, 2010 at 11:44 pm
I dunno, St.Kida won by 70 points?
March 6th, 2010 at 11:45 pm
No socks or boots, Josh, Relton’s in the back row on the end, next to Troy Taylor. It almost looks like a headless guernsey, but the main thing that makes his head easy to see is the fact that his head covers part of the Richmond logo in the top right hand corner.
March 6th, 2010 at 11:46 pm
The Collingwood-Richmond and Sydney-Essendon matches were both decided by 28 points, and there was only one point each between them, the scores were 90-62 and 91-63 respectively.
March 6th, 2010 at 11:47 pm
557: No, do some research. Pretty impressive stat i found.
March 6th, 2010 at 11:51 pm
558- Who’s being racist now? lol.
Adelaide beat the Dees today 69-67, I likened it to the nab cup game last year when Roughead kicked that goal to win like tippett did, the score was a very similiar 69-66 in that game
Nah, I give up Josh, tell me this impressive stat
March 6th, 2010 at 11:54 pm
Did you at least try and research the stat?
March 6th, 2010 at 11:54 pm
Not racism. Just bad positioning on the part of the photographers.
March 6th, 2010 at 11:58 pm
Come to think of it they put Liam Jurrah in the back corner of the 2009 team photo, and I just looked at this years one and he’s in the same place lol.
All 4 supergoals were kicked to the Coventry end?
March 6th, 2010 at 11:58 pm
Thats not very impressive though, lol
March 7th, 2010 at 12:01 am
and the lead doubled from half time to the finish!
March 7th, 2010 at 12:07 am
No, no surprise fact about the score at all, just made you think long and hard about it for no reason. That’s what you get for dissin Majak.
March 7th, 2010 at 12:08 am
Also the Saints won the first quarter by +14
Second quarter by 21
Third quarter by 13
Fourth quarter by 22
If one of their fourth quarter behinds was in the third, they would have increased their lead by the same amount in alternate quarters.
March 7th, 2010 at 12:09 am
If you go around dissing Trengove and Scully then you cant expect to get away with it, I don’t care how much you respect Majak
March 7th, 2010 at 12:10 am
569: It was a joke!
March 7th, 2010 at 12:11 am
Yeah well it was absolutely hillarious. not impressed Barnstable
March 7th, 2010 at 12:12 am
571: Glad to see you found the funny side of it.
March 7th, 2010 at 12:13 am
Glad to see you arent smart enough to realise that I was being sarcastic
March 7th, 2010 at 12:14 am
You should have used your sarcastica font then.
Gee i’m impressed with my form this NAB Cup, i’ve wrote about every team except Adelaide, Brisbane and Melbourne.
March 7th, 2010 at 12:18 am
I havent done Carlton, Sydney or Geelong, thats it.
March 7th, 2010 at 12:21 am
im counting Adelaide since I’m doing one on Adelaide V Melbourne at the moment
March 7th, 2010 at 12:22 am

Why?
March 7th, 2010 at 12:41 am
Anyway, im off now cya Josh
March 7th, 2010 at 12:43 am
In a recent press confrence Bolton said he didn’t want to lose against St Kilda or he would have to “go out into the country to Narrandera or whatever for the NAB Challenge games”
March 7th, 2010 at 12:43 am
Yeah ok talk to you later today
