Just got to my seat then. Not much of a crowd at this stage. Anyone know if it's a 2.10 or 2.40 start?

Hey Gring, can you tell me how many blades of grass are on the playing surface - you'll have time to count


(me thinks he is making up for walking out at three quarter time in a game last season :wink: )

Le Cras has 3 goals already - this is where Knights has to react more quickly to the threat.

LeCras with 3 already is a concern...

Fletch, Melksham, Reimers and Hocking leading possession winners at the moment.

This is just a disgusting game of football...our skills (and theirs) are deplorable.

Can anyone explain to me why our meathead players continue to play on when they have no idea what they are going to do with it?

Why do we continue to f*** around with the ball instead of kicking it long to Gumby and Neagle?

Do we have anyone playing in the midfield at all?

Le Cras has four goals to quarter time...he'll finish with at least ten the way we defend.

Maybe the earth could just open up and swallow both these sorry excuses for AFL teams :evil:

Unless there is a significant change in the momentum, we are gone. This club has lost its heart and soul.

A sad day so far

5 unanswered goals to WCE - sound familiar

What is the problem with this side, they just go to water if the other side gets a roll going
