Report from a faraway loungeroom - By Ed from WA
match report from a faraway loungeroom
with the score on 4 qtrs played for 2004 and 4 qtrs
lost,the pies lined up hoping for a better showing from the boys.
Willo,McKee and Rhyce got the sarseparilla and new boys richards,davidson
and nixon get a gig.
and of course in comes Rocca.
Dogs snap a goal from a throw in ,Taz shoots and misses
and then the dogs goal again.
Taz gets a free dead in front and misses again.
bulldogs 2 goals ..tarrant 2 points.
Cheesy busts his snout and the chosen one gets his first run for the
day.
wakes is on fire early,we seem to have a new system of play,we flood
our own fwd line,and then go to the boundary chalk so that when the
dogs rebound its clear for them. field Umpires argue with goal umpire
about a touched goal.
Goal umpire muralitharan wins and its a point.
bang bang bang go the dogs and its 4 goals to 3 pts.
Young davo has a bit of biffo and shows hes not afraid of the dogs or
anyone else.
Josh marks a lonie pass and has a quick sniff of the boundary chalk
and its a goal..great kick.
goal umpire sriniventrakavagan is in strife again,this time with the
field umpire.
davo marks and passes to rocca who goals 41-17 at the break.
5 qtrs played 5 qtrs lost.
Leon gets a run and has 4 touches in 2 minutes then goes off again.
back over to the chalk we go and cole runs 30 mtrs and what follows
was a comedy routine of handballs that somehow end up with a pie goal
to rocca.
the centre of the G is slippery.most likely from all the tears of richmond
players yesterday,and lots of players are slipping over.
Presti went for a ruck knock in tthe dogs goal square and looked to
be going to take possesion then realised he had to punch so he just
gave it a miss and the dogs soccered a goal.
2 goals to tazza when we for some reason go down the middle.but back
to thechalk again on siren time as bucks snaps and misses 38-59
we won a qtr.
Leon takes a strong gutsy mark at 50 and goals to begin
the second half.
Bucks snaps a pt.
Leon crumbs the ball on the wing sends a 60 mtr left foot pass to tazzas
tit and he makes no mistake.
all of a sudden the pies are going back to what makes us a good side..teamwork.
skills are still a bit off but the running together and backing up is
returning,and thank the good lord for that.
Josh goals from a ruck throw in, maddee goals from 50 after cheesy worked
his butt off to get it to him.
maddeee gets immediately dragged for his effort.
Brodie crumbs a goal, daks misses a sitter and its been
all the pies.
TCO dashes out of defence kicks direct to a loose dog and its a dog
goal.
Rocca a point from dead in front,
rawlings for dogs misses from dead in front,its a mistakeathon.
Bucks belts darcy and gets pinged and then 50
TCO breaks clear handballs straight to a loose dog and its a another
dog goal. and then on the siren dogs have a shot and miss.
74-76
if we had kicked straight all night we would be well ahead.
if the dogs had kicked straight all night we would be in the shit.
as it is we are both wasteful and its close.
Bucks snaps from the bloody chalk and misses everything.
Leon milks a free,everyone stops except cheesy who claims advantage
and goals.
Darcy whacks bucks and gets pinged..tazz misses with the free of course.
rawlings is giving presti a bath in this last qtr,luckily for us he
cant kick a goal.
we go fwd TCO comes in from the side and flattens the pack,dogs rebound
and goal.
woey drops a mark and the dogs goal.
Bucks gets dragged and isnt real pleased.
Burns is killing them in the guts,Rocca a goal and lika a long pt.
we are in front.Brodie limps off with a buggered hammy and bucks comes
back on.
taz hands to running leon and its a goal and out comes the finger for
his first wave for 2004.
Woey does some great tough work and gets it off to cloke who passes
to maddee and he makes no mistake.
Ant marks at 50 on the chalk and goals,its a pie.
Dogs goal 9 points in it.
Rocca marks...not paid..then gets a free aginst him at the bounce.
josh marks....siren!!
pies win by 9.
we will play worse sides than the dogs this year,but not next week.
have to be happy to win,good to see some teamwork come back,..
But this game report should be titled
the umpires confused me.
like a pygmy in a porno their performance came up short.
and we probably got the better of their mistakes too,but they were still
horrible.
umpires are a blight on the game,as are the rule makers who are trying
to get ruckplay out of the game the way these rules are at present.
votes.
2 wakes,tarrant and bucks
