I really wish we'd stick with Daisy in the middle. Eitherway, go Dees!

The yellow bus, licking the glass kind of special?

I've actually got some friends coming over any minute, so I'm unlikely to be on here, but I'll still be watching

 

[Theseventhhamster]

Checking in. Will be watching with the wife and kids.

Sell out

 

[Sellout Scully]

Watch out for #28 for the Crows, Sarah 'Pies' Perkins. She's not very mobile but if the ball goes near her she tackles ruthlessly, averaging 4.2 tackles a game which is big for a key forward.

37 degrees! Holy s**t that's horrible.

Weird looking ground. That almost looks like AstroTurf

 

[Proper Gander]

What a mark by Daisy.

 

[Bluelegs]

Why on earth do these players decided to bounce the ball after running 5 metres? They drop it so much and even if they bounce it effectively they're only slowing themselves down. If you don't have that skill why hamper yourself like that?

 

[PerfectFooty]

Game looks very fast, players going to fatigue massively in later on in the conditions. Even if one side get leverage in half one the other will comeback in half 2

 

[PitchBlease]

Umps need to put it away for at least grow another eye

Playing in the NT in early March

 

[Oscarman]

Umpiring is terrible.

 

[Bluelegs]

Great mark

 

[Bluelegs]

Why would you soccer the ball there lol?

 

[Bluelegs]

Feel a belting coming on. Adelaide are a very good side.

Nah they'll fatigue in darwin, bookmark it

Umpiring is terrible.

Again......

Melbourne players don't have a head, according to umpires
