Ahhh. There's the story. Arch thought Hird was retiring at the end of last season adn was dissapointed he'd never had a chance to get a jumper of his, he wanted to swap jumpers. That's sweet.

Hirdy's injury - bit of hip and hamstring prob, tho Olly thinks it's more like the knee and more serious.

Just watched the first quarter...why can't we kick the bloody ball straight?

Paddy Ryder will be a superstar and Houli did some nice things.

Spanked them in inside 50's and yet trail by three points.

f****** umpires...the free against mcPhee to start the game is one of the reasons football is going to the dogs...f****** soft cock free kicks.

Why wasn't the mark payed to Gus late in the quarter and if not a mark then why not a free kick?

Hille started very well.

I was sitting right behind the right of screen goals and we were shocking with goal kicking most of them either just missed or hit the post and all we needed was 4 goals to win. It will always come back to bite ya.

9 is more than 7. Hard to over-shadow something when its actually smaller
Just because he doesnt kick as many as him doesnt mean that he played better than him.
