Bombers v Blues - Dolphin free, line fished from the interwebs

■■■■ weather

The two Fark Carlton fans who turned up got to see a win that will be rated by Carlton as one of the greatest games in the history of their club. Probably surpassing the Prelim Final of 99 in the clubs litany of heroic battles fought and won.

A Bomber fan shows about the same level of intelligence, attempting to put on a rain poncho, as some of the players trying to pick their way through a crowded wet pack throughout the game.

Dois

Leads the boys up the race for a quick training swim on the ground.

■■■■■■ rainbow never got a chance to come out. Dois with the laces.

Jobe

Even the greatest of players found the conditions tough going.

Thinking of warmer, drier, happier times…

Pigeon

Looking more like a drowned rat at times. Applied some tough, if unconventional, tackles throughout the game. Plenty to like about his endeavour in trying conditions.

No high contact?

Competed well in marking contests.

Held a tough one and took the knee to the back.

Even flew with the big boys and got a fist in it!

Zerrett

So slick and smooth his hair doesn’t even get wet! Celebrates a goal.

He can kick on his right too!

Darcy “Darcy Parish” Parish

He is used to wrestling with wet wethers, so wrestling with this wet weather was nothing new to him.

“Bugger, I really should have worn the Fins, not the Blades…”

BJ

Not the best weather for the laser boot.


Umpire, please?

JoeDan

Grabs the ball out of the ruck contest against Kreuzenstein

EFA - Attempts to grab the ball out of the ruck contest against Kreuzenstein

Kreuzenstein applies a nipple cripple to JoeDan to stop him competing at the throw in.

Kicks straight in the wet! Gives the “Up Yours” to the weather gods…bad move.

You can see him getting stronger as he can hold ground in the contests much better.

Great leap over Kreuzenstein, who it appears is feeling the effects of Jobe’s squirrel grip manoeuvre.

Attempts to improve Kreuzenstein’s looks.

Hacks it forward, under pressure.

Trav

Just couldn’t hold the mark

Hurls

Sees a dry ball for the one and only time of the match

Gleeson

Gets the kick away.

Pops

One of less than a handful of players who actually played wet weather footy.

Walla

Bullocked his way through the defenders and kicked a tough goal

Slip,

Sliding,

Away.

Hooker

Goal.

Buddha

The type of game he would normally own, but first game back is always a tough ask.

Bags

Goes for the Joel Selwood ™ look.

But gets the Zippy the Pin Head look instead.

Bites of more than he can chew…

Ambrose goes BOOM! Resulting aftershock sends Greatest Player of All Time careening into Hurls head.

Hurls sees tweety birds.

Greatest Player of All Time - “What was that, that hit me?”
Physio - “Ambrose. He done get ya!”

Woosher

Happy not to be out there playing

Not happy that the rain isn’t stopping.

Not happy at all.

Not happy Jan.
