Whats with the low scoring???

Look at all those points! What is going on down there? Windy conditions?

Also heard that Grima came off injured in the VFL, any news?

Sounds like a cracking game ?? WTF

Looks like the Cats are sticking to the coaches plan of scoring heavily this year.

Where are you getting your updates from?

 

[SJ]

Very irregularly on SEN.

They haven't mentioned the weather, I thought I'd look that up on the BOM site myself.

From memory, better players for Geelong in the first half included Ottens, Chapman, Prismall and Tenace. Melbourne had about five late withdrawals, playing a very raw side.

16 minute mark of the 3rd quarter...
Cats: 6.11.47
Dees: 4.8.32

Aparently Shannon Byrnes is injured.

Thanks to Eliza for the sms updates!

Aparently Shannon Byrnes is injured.

Hopefully that means he will be in no-ones thoughts come selection time for Round 1.

Thanks Eliza!

Any idea who the withdrawls are?

Any idea who the withdrawls are?

From memory (I wasn't 100% concentrating on the names they said for Melbourne, I was busy typing up the scores here) players included Pickett, Green, Bruce and Yze. Also maybe Mclean, but not sure about that one.

As I said, don't quote me on those.

 

[Big Nasty]

Does anyone know how Hawkins did in the VFL practice match?

We will if Ling stays in the guts, just like in the West Coast game last year.

No mention of goalkickers in the most recent update. Apparently Mooney kicked a few in the the third quarter though, and Robertson has a few for Melbourne.

I only bag those players who's efforts are detrimental to the efforts of the team as a whole. If Ling actually did something worth supporting, then I'd support him, but until then, I'll bag him.

By the way, judging by your post, you sound like you are one of the fans who sit in the Brownlow Stand and cheer the team off after every game, regardless of whether they win by 9 goals, lose by 9 goals or lose after conceding a 9 goal lead.
