Round 7: Live Scores

[brod]

Was pretty rapped with the way the Carlton lads ran up to Kennedy after the game

We miss ya JK !

Played well too the young lad, especially with the delivery into the forward lines.
McKinley, who I rate highly was quiet tonight, but far from alone.
Is it just me or does Chad Fletcher look knackered five minutes into the game and hasnt slept for two days..?

slight tangent but I'm really surprised on how "common sense" Bucks is as a commentator. Quite a few times he 'overrode' the commentators to say 'no actually that was a good kick/handball' and then went on to explain why.

I'd heard from a few people, including my wife, but that was the first time I'd sat through a special comments game from Bucks.

Full credit to him, he's made the transition very well.

I'm biased, I love the man, but i think he's a very good commentator. Will become one of the best at it in coming years.

The eagles second term was shite, worst football I've seen from them in ages, but still I thought Kennedy was good last night. The eagles really have something with him there. It will be a long season for eagles, but I think the future will be ok. As with Lynch, McKinely and Kennedy in the forward line it actually looks decent. Midfield, well with Cousins and Judd gone the hole is huge, but its now time for Priddis, Selwood, Kerr, Flecter and Masten to step up into those roles.

Lads - I think we need one thread for live scores and one thread for discussion, will keep this one for Live scores and discussion during the game....thanks

Does anyone know if Brown or Franklin are outs for todays games??
All of the emergencies for the Lions travelled (doubts over Black and Power??)

[brod]

Well, Bargearse is in...he wouldnt do a warm up for no reason..not one for extra running is he - looks like for Bateman

Franklin will play. Dew is in for Bateman.

Good call lads, agree with you both.

Stewie Dew is playing a ripper!

A couple of clangers, but the 60m running goal and the bullet pass to Franklin from CHB are just what he was recruited to do..and its GREAT to see

Franklin has spent more than half of the game starting on the wing and running into the square after the bounce. Would have most of his 10 touches in the midfield and it is working well as the Hawks are playing Roughead one on one with Wakelin. Franklin started the first quarter at full forward and Collingwood tried to crowd the forward line for him..good coaching Clarko (always easier with the cattle)
