Round 16 VS NTH BALLARAT @ Burbank 2pm sunday

[Snoop Dog]

Does not read well - Thomas back for Davis and hope like hell that JOhnson and H.Shaw (who tripped a bloke) dont get reported.

Have a feeling a Rhyce may have to come back to give us the run we will need for the Crows.

Was thinking Lonie would be dropped but suspect they will need him for Burton.

How did Iles and Morrison go?

I didn't mind Ruslings game , had a yard on his opponent but they kick it to him awfully. Kicking might need a little work.

Rusling was $£$%^%%$ pathetic, was about to give him a spray when he kicked 2 goals but had a great bit of banter with a little kid who thought Rusling was good, I enjoyed that

As for the umpires, **** if that cop didnt get in my way I would have belted the pricks after the game, so $£$%^%%$ angry. Its funny though I had a chance to go to VFL umpire training last week, only reason I said no was I dont know what sort of reception I would get if any of them recognised me from giving them regular sprays this year

I have noticed 1 common factor with our shit games, more Pies players, we play better with a 12-10 split, I am sure it was more than that today

As WKB said, not much to say about the Pies players, except there was someone out there in Guy Richards jumper, its still unconfirmed however if it was Guy or a giant witches hat, but some people have suggested a witches hat would have provided a better contest so we have concluded Guy Richards was playing

[Cakewalk]

But what is Rusling meant to do when they kick it over his head all the time?
Got crunched twice aswell in marking contests , I really had no problem with his game , especially when compared to most of the rest of the team.

I remember the incident you were referring to and yes it wasn't smart , but Williamstown generally make stupid decisions.
Playing Richards and Fanning forward was always going to be a disaster , as they have little apart from hit-outs , atleast the boy gives the team a target .
The umpiring was also a disgrace but I kept myself in check due to Willi's mostly pathetic performance and being in the company of others who were less interested.

[eddiesmith]

The one that absolutely made me filthy, was already down the Willy end ready to give them a spray anyway was the Rhyce Shaw goal that was disallowed for running to far, no chance in hell he ran further than 15m after taking a bounce

Also the funniest moment was Magpie Dan having a hissy fit at 3 qtr time, was $£$%^%%$ hilarious

Give credit where its due... Nth Ballarat played as if it was their home ground.. The Towner's attacked in the 1st and 2nd quarters against the
strong cross wind [resulting in the the Seagull's scoring numerous points, many of which should have been goals].... Nth Ballarat used the wind well:- attacking "from the top". . After 1/2 time [Seagulls were something like 2 goals 10] it was catch up footy. Standing out on the ground at 1/4 time, Gotchie told them the way to way:- the players didn't [or couldn't]. At 3/4 time, when I saw it took a couple of attempts for Gotchie to get the team to believe they could still win it, I felt it was all over.

Cheers John, sensational as always, was good to finally have a dry day again

BTW did anyone else see Fannings sensational elbow to the head? Dont even think he was reported, was nearly right in front of me, I was behind the other point post, was waiting for Fanning to smack one of those pricks, shame he didnt go the umpire instead

Worst performance we have put in a while. No inspiration from players today at all in perfect conditions.
