Rovers are a likeable bunch, but not likeable enough that I'd let a possible 150+ point % booster go astray 
I'll like 'em again when they play someone else.

This is totally off the point but I have a problem. Next week, in the arvo, I will be at Richardson Park, in Darwin, having a stubbie or two, and not at the Footie in Melbourne ( Rugby games start at 3.30 Darwin Time). I hear about this "Twitter", stuff (sounds like tweezers to me, and that is a dental instrument, and so close to my heart). How do I get the scores?
What is this facebook thing? Is it any use for the sun-seeking old Redder?
Young Pete has a phone that has the internet and will be with me trying to stop the overgrowth of the grass around Richardson Park.
We are staying in a place that has the net on. What should we do for our instant fix of Fitzroy?

I'd suggest the Twitter. I dont like twitter myself but it IS where the Red Roys are posting their scores. I try to repeat them here and on Facebook when I have time but my home circumstances often make that difficult. it's probably possible to read the Fitzroy twitter page without signing up to twitter yourself, I dunno. This is the address for Fitzroy FC's twitter page : https://twitter.com/#!/Fitzroy_FC
Check it out now and get a feel for it.
Fitzroy's official facebook page is here : http://www.facebook.com/fitzroyfc
A fan page I manage is here : http://www.facebook.com/pages/the-fact-Fitzroy-Football-Club-has-its-own-team-again/58312012951 (though not updated with scores as much now that the club has its own presence, didn't wanna step on toes)

A percentage boosting victory is no doubt coming up today. Nonetheless with the high player turnover that has plagued Hampton in recent times we can all appreciate their difficulties. Let's hope they can find on-field stability and be more competitive in the second half of the season.

For those of you out of town it was another ugly day in Melbourne today which would have created testing conditions for footy. Not surprisingly this resulted in some close contests and translated into a defeat for nearby Old Camberwell. However it's all sunshine and pots of gold at Brunswick St. I'm starting to run out of fingers for counting our consecutive victories.

Another week and another thumping win!
Five weeks before the Marcellin game, and if we can beat them, promotion beckons
That deserves some Aussie-style celebration I think!

I took Friday arvo off. The Cricket Society had a lunch at the Kelvin Club with Bryce McGain the guest of honour. As you all know, anything less than four hours is not lunch, merely the taking of sustenance, merely the warding off the evils of hunger. It just left no time to get back to the grind, even if one did not need to allow an alcoholic beverage or two to work their way through the derrinalphil system.
Bryce played one more Test Match for Australia than I did but it was not a pleasant look. The South Africans massacred Bryce, scoring one hundred runs off his first ten overs. It was a massacre of the first order and on Saturday we Fitzroy fans journeyed down Warrigal Road to watch our boys play Hampton. We were expecting a massacre of Roman proportions. Hampton have been losing matches like the Romans lost battles to Hannibal in the Second Punic War; Trebia, Lake Trasimena and Cannae all had Roman casualty stats very much like the scores from Hampton’s matches this season.
I missed most of the Twos but Rick the Click was of the opinion that Harry Topp stood out. Matt Coad, suffering from a cold, told me after the match that it was hard to get up for the match. (I hope people get the joke here, I mean he is ten foot tall)
Quite a few out today; Ablett, Josh, Pickers and Two Dads which left a hole up the middle and on the ball but I was interested that Michael Lee started in the ruck and Roscoe started at full forward. Roscoe has played well as a short ruckman this year but it annoys me that we cannot find a way for Roscoe and Pickers to play together up forward. Roscoe has kicked thirty odd goals in a season, at this level, in a struggling team. Roscoe is the better all-round footballer and Michael is the better ruckman. Both players played well today and I noticed Two Dads looking worried after the match.
We started out poorly, with handball that seemed to be aimed at players’ feet. All day we seemed determined to give one more poorly aimed backwards handball. It was only in the last quarter that we started to bomb the ball forward with satisfying results. I spent some time down back and early on it was apparent that the porcupine did not turn up today. I like seeing multiple defenders flying for the ball with fists extended to smash the ball. This done well makes the opposition’s forward line look like a porcupine’s back. Early on our backs were going for marks on a windy day with a slippery ball. Despite this we were well in front by at half time. We had a brief scare at the start of the third quarter when Hampton’s midfielders got on top and they managed to get within three goals’ but class will tell and the expected massacre happened in the end.
It was a frustrating game to watch and was best summarised by Torch Magee “It was a tough seventy point win.”
Jessie Dimond was in sparking form especially early in the match, running hard to create “spread.” Big Matt Brown (I now name him “Big Matt Brown” or “BMB”) was a dominating player all day. One thing that did catch my eye was the forward set up in the last quarter. Believe it or not we had Scott Cations and another small (I can’t remember who it was) as our “tall forwards.” I think the coaching staff needs to look at this issue. When Pickers does not play we need to think about having a tall option in the goal square. We lost against Pegs largely due to a poorly structured and therefore non-functioning forward line.
I’m off to Darwin next week so I will miss the match against Pegs. I will be at Richardson Park with young Pete, watching the Darwin Rugby League, sitting on the hill behind the posts having an amber fluid or two. Go the Redders.

Worst game i have watched all year. Over use of crap handball to players under the pump.
Also that same old same old crept in again yesterday, players marking within range of goal, then having players on a much more accute angle calling for it like an under 12's, then spilling it causing a turnover, and watching the ball get run up the ground, where the player who marked should have steadied and gone back and had a shot.
Its the same players who keep calling from ridiculous positions infront of goal, exciting the player into passing, who could have had the shot.
It is frustratingly ugly to watch. Do this against a top side and watch them bury you.
I thought i was watching a D1 game yesterday, someone else said D2.
The opposition continually called Fitzroy soft, they were dead right!
