Who makes the final decision if itās a tie?
Little @scotty21 has been told by his mum he canāt attend.
So I will decide on some mechanism to chooseā¦
Sorry Everyone. Small personal issue to attend to. Iāve handed the keys over to DJR for this week. Iāll still start the North vote later tonight.
OK, weāre setting the TARDIS for 2 July 2011. Pile in, thereās plenty of room.
If youāre confused as to how we can all fit into that little wooden box, a quick explanation below:
Itās Saturday night at Docklands (our home game). A crowd of over 40,000 is expected.
Geelong are sitting two wins clear on top of the ladder, undefeated after 13 games (and a bye). We, on the other hand, have lost our last five games in a row, and slumped from 3rd on the ladder to 10th! Last week was the worst of the lot, by 65 points to the Dawks.
Didnāt include how the VFL went. Fail
Teams are out:
ā
Mitch Brown. WSPHU
Shut up Scotty, Iām not done yet.
Interestingly, the named Geelong team is both vastly more experienced than us (total of 2525 games to our 1805) and stuffed with <10 games players (5 versus our 1). The newest of them is some spud called Mitch Brown. Mind you, he kicked three goals versus Adelaide in his debut last week.
We do have the youngest player though: Dyson Heppell, at 19 years and 49 days old. Heās played in all of our games so far, in his debut year.
Itās rather chilly tonight. Roof is closed.
Can it get any worse? Captain Jobe Watson was on fire (likely on track for his first Brownlow Medal win) but is out injured due to a massive hamstring ping last week. Whoād have thought he could run fast enough to do that?!?
Geelong casually bring back Jimmy Bartel, James Kelly, Mathew Stokes, Brad Ottens and Josh Hunt.
doesnāt train hard enough, or run enough to do a hammy. windy hill flu
Good money can be made on Geelong at $1.05.
You can burn it on us at $7.
We havenāt beaten Geelong for six years!
Supersubs have been named: Colyer for us, and Gillies for them.
Unfortunately we have Dean Margetts (+ Kennedy + Jennings) umpiring tonight. Can our home crowd boo louder than that of the team from the west?
You gotta hope that assistant coach Bomber Thompson can give us some inside info on this mob ā itās his first game against them since he coached them himself.
Itās lovely day in Bali. I donāt think Iāll bother watching the game. Gonna go for a scooter ride along the east coast.
