664

… except the one with 22 touches and 4 team-lifting goals?

EDIT: Der… me dumb.

665

Which is not to say they weren’t important – e.g. Freezer Ferry Langford filling the large gaps in our list down back.

Well he’s not technically VFL listed this year

667
Hawks played Sphanger (?) for 90 seconds last weekend so he would qualify for vfl as well as afl. Did the hawks make the vfl finals?
Box Hill didn't make the finals so the Hawks played him for 90 secs last week in the Box Hill development league side, basically the Box Hill reserves, so he would qualify for the development league finals. If that's not rorting the system I don't know what is.

Thanks for clearing that up. Definitely rorting.

The clear difference between the low stats in this game and the higher stats we commonly see in a lot of games was the lack of cheap uncontested stats like chip back 15 metres and chip sideways 15 metres etc.

669

Still havent put my clothes back on since the game. Swinging free and easy

Who was the dirty ■■■■■■■ that cleaned up Hams off the ball when he wasn't looking? Not many saw it. Second quarter, I think. Southern end of the ground.

Geelong put a target on Wills back today. They were crunching him every time after he disposed of the ball.

671

So I saw Zach, HeppD, Gach, Eades, Tippa, Hartley, JoeDan, Mitch Brown, Ambrose, Parish there. Who else was in attendance?

676

Parish came in with Gach and promptly got mobbed. Poor Gach had to sit back like a stale bottle of p1ss while Darc dealt with a steady stream of autographs, selfies, photos etc.

Now there’s as good an example of ebony and ivory as you’d ever hope to see.

Any links to replays etc?
Just got home from local footy and the women’s footy has no appeal whatsoever, wouldn’t mind catching the VFL replay
