[Hello Kitty]

Hope it's not Danger. We sent GHS over I think.

Not Danger at this stage, only change so far is for Port with Marshall out + Thomas in

 

[Down at K Park]

Officially no changes for us.

 

[you pick one]

Hope it's not Danger. We sent GHS over I think.

Yeah he left Tuesday

 

[FredLeDeux]

Yeah he left Tuesday

11 days, he might make it in time.

One positive for tonight - BT was commentating the Saints-Giants game on MMM this afternoon, so we don't have to listen to him say Par-fitt tonight.

He should if he wasn't sent by standard post.

Just not listening to him at all is a massive positive to take out of the match already.

Thomas to kick 5 goals then back to the sanfl

Massive positive, this.

There is surely no way in the wide world that this is how Brandon wants his surname pronounced. Yet BT inanely rolls it out week after week.

With an absolutely ridiculous overemphasis on the second syllable as well. Couldn't sound more like a goose if he tried.

People here talk about a number of reasons to turn the sound down when BT is commentating. This particular act of idiocy on his behalf is top of that list for me whenever we suffer the ignominy of having him cover our games.

Sav starting in the ruck with Stanley on the pine according to K-Rock. Interesting.

Wins to the Falcons girls and boys sides, and both the VFL and VFLW today. Hope the seniors make it 5/5.

Yep we ducked Minchington last week, we are due for a small to get off of the chain against us in their only highlight for the year.

So Geelong has won four of the last five games against Port



Fairly evenly matched:

Go Catters

Hope the link good for you this week mate!

 

[Munich]

Lindsay diving Thomas plays for them now?



And what has happened to Sam Lane? She looks deathly skinny.

O'Bree discussing Gardner on K Rock "he just lets himself down with those 5 minutes patches. He needs to do it at VFL level before we can be confident he can do it at AFL level."

Shane Obre on KROCK

Good win to the Bankers.

AFL listed blokes did good -
Smith did well around the ground won that - 50/50 in the hit outs.
Jones great pressure and go them out the back.
House and Gardner both solid and did well.

Chook Constable solid again. Plays inside Mid. Not his best day today - 20 touches or so - but still did ok. Very happy with his development.

Great to see Thurlow go up to AFL side - building his confidence thru playing multiple roles and looking for him to keep building back into his confidence in ability after the knee .

Smith - His #1 thing is his craft he needs to work on. Getting another string to his bow is getting him more successful forward - and when he does that well in VFL his ruck game gets better.

Crameri is building well - fitness doing better and getting more involved in the game.

Gardner - big in roads in yr1 and didnt advance as much in year 2. Gardner hurt by lack of JLT game 3 this year. Seems to indicate that the not ready for AFL - not getting demanding the consistency to get selected. Both are very competitive - comes down to decision making and sometimes it just the lapses in a few moments during games that are hurting him - get that consistency in the game and he'll be pushing for AFL games - but he's not there yet.

He was running, so maybe not

Crameri is building well - fitness doing better and getting more involved in the game.

Exciting news. Reckon Menzel will be rested in the next 2-3 weeks and Crameri will get a run.

The other obloquy is BT's inability to know our players' names!

I reckon BT thinks he's clever, attempting a French pronunciation because the Old French version of the name was Parfit or Parfite - meaning 'completed' or the Latin 'perfectus' or 'to finish or accomplish'. So BT is putting the emphasis on the 'fit/e' saying 'feet'. But he also stuffs up the 'Par' - to me, sounds like he's saying Puff-feet. It's so annoying!

I'd love that!!!
