yeh Megan...

3AW via Scotty Cummings said Lucas went into the rooms, won't be back on, and they are saying he's done his posterior cruciate ligament.

That's what I heard.

that 50 meter penalty was absolute bullshit and the sad part is who here was surprised that it was paid???

we are playing like shit... free kicks are non existent for us... we are lucky to be within 50

Did anyone see Brent Harvey clutch his head in the pack when no one touched him?

Every time North get tackled they fall forward.

And they took 2 goals off us.

Confirmed 10 week injury to Lucas.

Step up Johns or Neagle...

Can we please get Fletcher off f****** Thompson, stupid match up Knighta, surely you know Thompson is one player Fletcher has always struggled with.

Three goals on him now, time to make a move methinks.

And who the f*** is on Lindasy Thomas, time to make a change there as well!!

Ooooh. I may have misinterpreted but I just heard a very impassioned outburst from Hille. Lloyd marked and got touched up a little on the ground and I think I heard Hille yell at the umpire something to the affect of "Protect the player, Pay something" and he was right up in his face and screaming it at him...

I think Hille and I are both turning green and getting a little angry.

13 min to run, Fletch has just had his first touch and Stants is yet to have one...

What the hell. I was worried about the KIDS settling.

Don't look now but I think Schwartz is starting to think that the umps are favouring the Roos a bit this term. That's been two not paid to us that he's been gobsmacked again.

Roos nearly given another goal from the umps due to Macca NOT being paid.

Very quick paced game, esp considering it's humid and warm. Will be interesting to see how the last term pans out.
