Bryan's too old - I remember hearing them say he is 22 years old.

He's 23.

I reckon there are a number of slightly more mature players running around that could be picked up.

Wasn't Jude great, hard at it all day. Micky O's second half was very good and although his set shots were relatively easy, never looked like missing. Well done Hall on his effort as captain, has to be up there with the best he has played this season.

happy to get the win
im officially on the barry hall for captain bandwagon

Whoops knew it was 22 or 23

NMWBloods I agree there's definitely a few running around that haven't been noticed yet.

Anyone know what Jason did at the end of the match? I saw him limping off the ground.

Highlight of the day was Buchanan getting a goal, about bloody time.

Seems the capatinacy sits will with BBBH, also pleasing to see some quick,direct delivery to Hall

A big WORD to that.

I'm a huge Amon fan but everytime he goes for goals at the moment I cringe that's it's going to be another behind - so a big bloody hell came out of my mouth when he finally kicked that goal.

And he had another touched on the line, which would have gone through.

I think that was the oddest game of football I have seen for a while. Seemed to be a lot of effort spent for very few results, from both sides. At least it was interesting to watch.

Roosy has just promised that we'll play a few more shockers this season

I loved Boulton's run through the middle ending with a superb kick to Magic.

The real highlight for me was O'Keefe's first goal - not the goal itself but for Davis' efforts in keeping the ball in the forward line on his own against 3 opponents.

As for the rest of it, not sure what all the complaints are about. It wasn't a great game but was still pretty decent. Both teams had a real dip, it was pretty free flowing for much of the time and we saw lots of goals. Those criticising it based on listening just to radio commentary from people who had it in its head that it was going to be a crap game should maybe watch it first.

any danger of LRT taking a grab!
and how bloody soft was that free in the ruck against ball to whitnall - un effen believeable

nick malceski looks a likely type and was good to see crouchy playing in the back line on a crumber (where he belongs)
