Armstrong, no one pressuring him, puts an inside 50 kick OOTF.

Facepalm...

Fasolo receives in the corridor, long inside 50, good contested mark Marsh!

And he takes off, streams toward goal, a little checkside to finish it off!

19-9.

Early thoughts...

- Skills as bad at VFL level as AFL level. Dons controlled a lot of the play, courtesy of our turnovers, but didn't get it in enough.

- Lynch getting crucified by our delivery inside 50. Working hard as always, but not getting the opportunities to make that hard work pay off.

- Fasolo the only half-decent kick amongst this team, along with Dwyer. Took a nice mark going back with the flight, and got crunched for it. Hair stylist will be earning their money this week...

- Armstrong, why is this scrubber on our list? Utterly fking useless. Just a wiry seagull.

- Hudson our #1 ruck today, doing well.

- Thomas quiet, except for the goal.

- Dwyer rusty today. Kicking skills not on show ATM.

- Yagmoor did one good thing, a spoil on the last line. Again, why is he still here?

- Blair MIA.

- Now before you all start jumping up and down about Marsh, his mark had a bit of the Jimmy Clement about it (sly hands in the back). Lucky to get away with it, but that speed!

LOVELY kick Marto, good vision!

Mooney marks inside 50.

From 47m, 20 degrees... GOAL!

26-9.

Turner takes a good mark going back with it, and crunched.

But he goes back and slots it!

32-9.
