Shame about Gilbee. I thought he was pretty good last week. Chatfield not bad either. Good to see Hannan playing again.

Anyone else having issues accessing the live game?

Doesn’t seem to have the option in the match centre.

What a dumb time.

Why? This way it allows the full squad to fly home in the afternoon instead of waiting around all day for a night match and then having to get back into Melbourne in the early hours on Saturday.

 

[VitalDread]

Going to be a long day for this young side

barely getting their hands on the ball

Mitch Hannan in defense is peak Bevo

 

[dergert]

The umpiring is woeful.

This is why clubs should only be Victorian based.

 

[_Mike_]

43-7 Lions way

Nice snap in the rain Khamis

Doesn't seem to be an overly strong wind here, but does seem the left is scoring end. Getting our hands on the ball a bit more to start second qtr.

Bevo, Power, Maple all here. No players I've seen, aside from a few Lions.
