VFL Practice Match Colac 11th March 2018

Hind cops one in the face. Is up. Takes his free then comes off for check. Should be OK.

Geelong burst free and bomb one seventy for the goal.

51-32, margin same after 21 minutes of them having the wind.

Pressure forced an easy goal out of bounds. Throw in their pocket.

DJR, just wait for the questions about the elephant in the room at half time. " is Langford an inside mid ?"

Kick from clearance randomly marked by them at 49. Tumbling awful kick falls short but is marked by them. Again, random luck.

51-38 at 24 into second

Langford playing accountable at bounces but still getting clearances. Gets the last one before the siren goes at 25:08

8.3.51 we lead 6.2.38

Walks out on ground at half time, wind is a lot stronger than I supposed.

DJR, is Pops Kelly involved with coaching the VFL side at any level?

What, am I an expert now or something? Dunno.

(Relocates to now-empty grandstand down the wind end.)

Smack and Long playing the second half. We have six on the bench, BTW.

EDIT: was 7? See later comment.

Yes. I wondered if he was involved with the VFL on game day, as evidenced by presence at the huddle.

Langford holding the ball free at first bounce. Kicks long, Smack clunks, Smack goals.

57-38

That was easy.

Sounds like Langford been very involved from your call DJR, best on at this point?

Hind sniped after kick at next bounce. Down the ground. Lazzaro is a timid kicker and it’s only a point.

58-38

Smack in beast mode, smashes pack from behind.

Lazzaro makes up with a smother.

Langford standing snap from fifty is a point.

YOUNAN! Dodges four guys and snaps the goal. Freaky.
