Absolute shit show!!
We made so many mistakes a turnovers but the only saving grace was they made more. On at least 6 occasions we hand balled to the opposition, several of which, resulted in goals.
Appalling umpiring did not help but was not an excuse from our side.
Bring that game to the “G” next week and we will lose.
Hats off to Guelf and 2MP.

Thank God for the 3rd quarter!!!
Too far for Baker now he's on to it, now he’s got it, OPEN GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Dons are in front by one point at the 8 minute mark

7 goal victory is nice enough. 5% points gained. Nice.

North were up and about, and we’re probably motivated to play against Goldy, Mac, and good ol’ Scotty himself. Cammy Zurhaar probs wanted to show his wares to Scotty for a possible trade. All that shows up to a scenars.

The game was a galumph in the main. The middle of the ground was owned by North, but the arcs were owned by us. The defence was fantastic - Pidge, Big Ben, Lavs, Kells, Hepps, Marto, Red Dog all solid as a bar of depleted uranium.

The connectivation of the arcs was good ol’ Marto as per usual. Such a silky smooth mover and deliverer of the pill. Red Dog thrusted quite a lot too.

The forwards functioned well even though Doc Jones and Kylos were held well. Pedro, Package, Guelf all lively. I thought Tsatas was pretty good today… but did fluff a few disposals. But he’s a good mover. Much to like.

The Race Caller was excellent today. Probs best on along with Marto.

Pity his name isn’t Zak Butters where he can get a get out of jail free card for the billionth time.

Is this game rigged or what?

Remember Peter Wright getting 4 weeks for having the audacity to BRACE FOR IMPACT in a marking contest (i.e “a footy act”) and concussing his opponent, but Jimmy Webster can knock Frederick into the next postcode without bracing, and that’s AOK!

Chad Warner can forearm someone to the head, but that’s ok. NOTHING TO SEE HERE.

He needs to kick more goals to get the similar treatment as the icons of the game.

Just saw the replay. Head bounce will do him.

But someone should have got a free from that tackle.

Which idiot gave Xerri 4 votes? Typical Clarkson.

He was nowhere near 2nd best on ground. LDU would have been close.
