May have to take the lid off one early to calm the nerves. Its only 1.00pm though. That's a problem!


3 hours before the game is my rule.


And for 17 hours afterwards. :D

Is that for day games?


Any modifications to the rule if you’re wearing a footy jumper over your shirt?

Watched the replay today.

Campo had a good enough debut. McKay still has trouble with set shots. Sillvagni gives 100%. Cripps gets it a lot but did not think he was terribly effective.

Carlton keep playing McGovern and Williams. Yet Docherty was the sub?

I thought Campo was terrible, got the footy but just butchered it.

Had 20 touches and 50% efficiency which was higher than I thought

Campo is going to be a gun!
Docherty and Williams both wouldn’t be in my side.
McGovern is a deadset space cadet but you take his good with his bad.

McKay doesn’t give a shit.
Happy to turn up and kick 2 goals and take his pay cheque each week.
His miss in that last quarter was terrible and he just smiled and walked away after it

I’d rather play SOS up forward as at least he has a real crack and cares about the club.

It was his first game.
A lot of his possessions were under real heat also.

A lot of players slipping, like last night.

I hope this ground hasn’t been affected by cricket.

The endeavour is there but a massive gulf on class. We will have some big scores kicked against us this year I feel

True.

Then Scrimshaw gets cleaned up by his own player. Looked nasty.
