Round 3: the other games.

[Kafka's Ghost]

I saw the first half and Adelaide kept kicking wide to wings and made little or effort to go down the guts. I suspect Mathew Nicks will be in the gun.

Putrid is a generous description of this truly awful game. Adelaide didn’t score a goal for almost an hour and couldn’t hit a row of barn walls a kilometre long. Walker looked their only dangerous forward, which is amazing when he’s as old as Methuselah.

Didn't see any of last night's game, but against the Suns, the Crows reminded me of an NFL team whose offence looks inept for most of a half, but suddenly moves the ball well when the two minute warning sounds. So, I wasn't really sure who the real Crows were. Then against Geelong, they played the sort of game that almost guarantees a Cats win. That is, plenty of straight ahead, scrubbed kicks to contests, interspersed with long bombs to Tom Stewart. And last night, while I didn't watch the game, I did check the Perth weather and was surprised that it wasn't a wet weather game; since their scoring suggested otherwise.

There's a tough couple of weeks ahead, as well. Hosting Melbourne in Gather Round, then away to Carlton. So, fairly easily to envisage them being 0/5, and without the skills to recover.

He signed a 2 year extension a week ago so the only ones in the gun will be the club’s board shooting themselves in the foot

The Freo Crows game is pretty putrid and boy the Crows are stinking it up this year. For such a high scoring side last year their forward of centre play is awful. Enjoy Dawson.

Gocygnet and I often watch the crows train when we go to the library on daddy/daughter day (as their training ground is next door). He sometimes waves at her as they jog past so he’s not all bad (although she not often wearing her Swans top).

Back just in time for kick off, then. Think I might prefer Melbourne to win, as Port might be more of a threat to us.

Stringer won the game for the Bombers with some massive key moments in the fourth quarter, including a set shot bomb from outside 50 from what looked like over 45 degrees.

He was very under par in the first half, but rose to the occasion when the game was there to be won.

Yeah, how annoying is that? They'll be gleefully spruiking 'the edge' now.

I suspect that Ratugolea will be asked, "what were you thinking", a number of times this week, after marking that shot over the line.

Have seen Ben McKay play two weeks in a row (a rarity in itself lol), and am so glad he chose the Bombers over us.

Although, it still irks me that North got pick 3 in compensation, when I don't think his loss would've been all that traumatic.

Benevolent dictators (AFL) are doubling down on their North Melbourne investment. Can't see the club continue to fail after all the help they have been given already, so they have to give them even more.

Windsor is shaping as a very handy pick 7.

Tough win by Melbourne in a quality game. The fact that many of the Port fans a so feral, made me enjoy it a little bit more.

The ferals who were abusing Ben Brown when he successfully kicked a goal from the boundary line would've been considered too aggressive and nasty to be a part of the Collingwood Cheer Squad!

Bombers/Saints was very entertaining to watch but also hilarious - it seemed that both teams were trying to lose. The ball handling mistakes by both teams on a ground that is protected from the elements were terrible!
