Round 3: the other games.

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!

Yeah, I noticed them. They looked a bit like brothers and a bit like their parents were also closely related. One of them was wearing a Port SANFL prison bar jersey, that somehow seemed more prison bar than usual. The other was wearing a T-shirt, and it looked to me that the logo said, 'criminal'.

Hawks have the Cats somewhat rattled, really getting under their skin.

Good come back from the Hawks. I'm at the game and after the first quarter I thought it was going to be all one way.

Yesterday I was having a go at Papley for slipping over at the Ponsford end of the ground. The players are also slipping over in the same area today. Apparently that end was where the Taylor Swift stage was, so that may be contributing to it.

Hawks back within 4 pts after being belted early.

And now they're being belted again!

It is absolutely pouring here now. Glad I'm undercover!

The game has been suspended for 20 minutes because of the weather. I've never seen this happen before.

But are you going to wait until play resumes after the weather break?

Yes but only because my brother is a Geelong supporter. Play is going to resume 6:11pm.

There was the final back in 2004, that I think of as the shake down the thunder final. We gave West Coast a bit of a thrashing, but IIRC, the game was delayed by about twenty minutes, due to a severe storm over Homebush.

I never thought I’d see the day I’d say this, but the Hawks got a very rum deal from the umpires in that match. There were at least three legitimate high tackles on Ginnivan.

Happened several years ago in an early round match Swans v GWS at their Homebush ground. Play was suspended for maybe 30 minutes due to lightning . I think lightning actually hit the stadium roof once. Certainly the clap of thunder was scary. I was under cover but that wasn’t very reassuring …

And we were thumped which didn’t improve the experience.

That was a memorable game, R1 2014. Buddy's debut for the Swans (just the 1.1) and the first derby win for GWS, who seemed to regroup better after the weather break.

One of the lighting towers took a direct lightning strike and I believe something fell from it - it was pretty impressive!

Somewhere in the footage I appear, several rows back, grinning as Heath Grundy takes a great one-hander. I always remember the bloke in front of me who sat stoically through the whole thing, so drenched he looked like he'd jumped in a pool.
