Another one. Bombers in front

Good to see the commentators are using common sense, which is the opposite of what AFL says.

Lemmey got a free kick despite sliding into his opponent....simply because he hurt himself.

We'll take it, but by AFL rules, its wrong.

Nige stood up to help us steady.

Yep
Under the rules it probably should have gone the other way...I thought it would and was surprised when it went our way.

HT 75-40 but momentum keeps swinging.  Motlop much more involved this week, looking like a player who wants a senior gig.  Lewis Young playing much better, as he should.  Likewise Marchbank and Big Durds looking solid down back.  Binns again very busy, but getting benched for the second half to be an emergency for the firsts so we wont see him again for the match.

95-83 at 3QT.  Blown off the park for the first half of that quarter but managed to steady after that burst.  Game could go either way.  Good sized melee at the 3QT siren.  No-one really impressed that quarter, our best AFL boys still Mots and Wilson given Binns taken out of the game.  Couldn't imagine anyone else pressing for the seniors.

Nigel Carmody should be calling AFL matches.

McMahon is a class above most on whats on display for us today, nice kick and mark just needs a few more kgs and seems a a reasonably intelligent kid going by his interview as well.
