a casualty.

 

[Mr Ripper]

Noz finds Marshall inside fifty and he bisects the big ones. 14.10 to 2.1 As I write Kenny snaps his fifth. 15.10 to 2.1

 

[iBeng]

We seem pretty competitive.

 

[Mr Ripper]

Shagga adds his fourth. Skills getting a bit messy all ‘round. DSmith kicks another. 17.13 v 2.1

 

[Mr Ripper]

Tunstill appears to have gone forward (presumably to get some ball)

 

[Mr Ripper]

Shagga hits Bailey Hahn on the left tit. Goal. 18.14 to 3.1 immediately followed up with Brad McDonald dribbling one through from the square. 19.14 to 3.1

 

[Mr Ripper]

Torrent to Greenaway for another right on the siren. Getting farcically easy. 20.15 to 3.1

 

[Mr Ripper]

Looks like McKenna has called it quits for the day.

sails through. Both sides going through the motions. Good news is Noah finishing the game full of running. 21.17 to 3.2

 

[Mr Ripper]

Snappy chain of handballs winds up with DSmith who adds his fourth I think 150-20

 

[Mr Ripper]

Five to Shagga (5.4 or 5.5 I reckon). 157 plays 21

 

[Mr Ripper]

Tunstill set shot from the pocket. 24.19 to 3.3

 

[Mr Ripper]

Annable finds little Archie for another. 25.19 v 3.3

 

[Mr Ripper]

Two for Tunstill 175 to 21

 

[Hollow Knight]

Looks like a nail biter. Hang in there boys!

 

[Mr Ripper]

All over us 26.20 them 3.3. Dunno what you can take out of that other than getting a bit more run in the legs. Waller super impressive. Annable bog.

Thanks for the updates!

For all I know you just made up Shagga's goals to keep the bandwagon going...

Cheers Rip!

Thank you Mr Ripper. Interested in your honest thoughts on Weller. I've only seen the intra club game, but he was very impressive that game.

Thank you Mr Ripper. Interested in your honest thoughts on Weller. I've only seen the intra club game, but he was very impressive that game.

Firstly, need to emphasise that the opposition were stepping up a class and were a mile off VFL level in skill and fitness, so that should come into consideration when handing out bouquets.

Nevertheless...

Waller jumped well, palmed pretty accurately and followed up energetically at ground level, often providing a link in possession chains out of the middle.

Went forward on occasion and looked at home there, too. In his own right and also creating a bit of breathing space for other forwards (bit like Oscar in the GF).

It was a difficult marking day, so that could be an excuse, but he did drop a couple of grabs you'd think would normally be taken.

See how he goes against Southport next week.

 

[Mr Ripper]

Might be down to 3 or 4 listeds this week. Good thing there’s a bye before the first game.

 

[M Malice]

Might be down to 3 or 4 listeds this week. Good thing there’s a bye before the first game.

On the other hand I'm expecting Harris to have to come back through the reserves so we should have a pretty good side in the medium term.

 

[Mr Ripper]

Game off.

5 listed players according to Fish. No wonder we cancelled it lol
