Took the dog down to Rathmines on the weekend where there was more security than the recent Taylor Swift concerts. Easy pay day for some of the boys.
Interesting game of football where the final score didn't truly reflect the game. Both sides seemed to hit hard with injuries with Raiti and Luke Huber out of the game early for the Citz while Jones and Hankin seemed to be hampered from the start. Hankin still kick 5 mind you!! It appeared that Elsternwick didn't have a bench in the last - could be wrong.
For my Citz, the long injury run continues and I was told they had 55 unavailability's throughout the club on the weekend. They had a crack this week but Elsternwick too good on the day.
Better players for each side: Citz - Webb (hard as nails and playing a lone hand in the midfield), JB in the ruck and a new guy Loxton who tagged the guy who won the GF medal out of the game. For the Wicks, #11 and #35 were outstanding and Hankin and Jones were very good for them as well. #3 looks to be the most annoying player in the comp??
Testing time for the Citz - need players back and need them quickly!!

ALL clubs have injuries throughout the season. The bloke with the dog crying "injuries-cost-us".
Does he expect sympathy from umpires?

Injuries cost us?? Read the post again.
Wasn't quoting you. Paraphrasing an old often used reason. Don't forget to feed your dog.

brought the cat down to gillon oval this saturday to catch a bit of brunswick vs friars. a nice hotly contested game. number 12 for brunswick was incredible off of half back, and might i say quite handsome. friars brought a polished unit but in the end ran out of steam against a brunswick side that is fortunate to have number 12: a rugged man that i suspect smells brilliant.

Took the dog down to Rathmines on the weekend to watch the Citz take on Brunswick. Henry (my dog) was on the look out for the Brunswick cat but it was nowhere to be seen.
It was a great game of local footy with two very evenly matched teams - on the day. In my opinion, the Citz had the best of the first half but couldn't break away from Brunswick. Every time they got momentum, #1 would find some space and arrest the momentum and kick a crumbing goal. #13 was well held by Avery and #23 was marking everything across half back.
Great to see Billy Meehan back in the goal square - he really adds another dimension to the Citz forward line.
Undiscipline by the Citz in the 3rd allowed two goals from 50m penalties (one 100m) saw NOBs kick four goals in 10 mins which ended up being the difference in the game.
The Citz had their opportunities in the last, missing about 5 set shots.
Brunswick are a very even team, apart from #1 and #23 who are standouts, very even across the ground. All good sized, big bodied players and play a very disciplined brand of football.
For my Citz, much better effort. Good to see some names back in the line up, hopefully they can build on what was a very good performance from them.

Ladder is so tight, we could see two points separate 4th and 8th by the end of it. 3rd and 8th could be 4 points.

Biased but I'd have Tricarico in there

Not a bad effort there. From what I saw on Saturday, I would have Cloverdale starting as their are not many players in the division like him.
Wasn't a big wrap for Hogenbirk. Big bodied and takes a good mark but does very little around the ground for a midfielder - plus a horrible kick.
I'm biased as well, but surely Harvey gets a run? Actually both Harvey's, the Wicks one as well.

Great crack at the 22, wouldn't really change it. Cloverdale starting yep, but Hogenbirk deserves a spot in there.
Side note - will we see Brunswick unravel at some point? not to say that they aren't flying, they've won every bloody game comfortably, however the past few weeks have been much closer with hawthorn and friars. Could be really chasing something, but ya never know.

Would say a few more Wicks players could be in there.
Sitting second on the ladder with a gap. Convery or Hill on a wing. Sanderson in the middle/half forward.
I have Harvey from Hawthron in there as EHC
Agree with Coverdale statement. Not many players can do what we does but I believe he missed games early
If that’s what you saw from Hogenbirk he must have had an off day because I reakon the bloke can play. I reakon the blokes playing on him might agree
Both WF and Hawks look to have gone very close and pushed them. Everyone gettable on there day
They look to have a lot of depth with there twos also clearly on top

Unfortunately had to have my cat put down this week so attended Rathmines solo. He gave me 17 years of companionship and had a 10 year pet membership at the nobs. The boys ran through a banner with his face on it pregame and brought home the win in his honour.
It was a quality matchup with turnovers proving costly given that Rathmines oval is about 20 metres end to end. the citz have some special players and will no doubt be pushing the best sides once they pull it together. Nobs managed to get on top in the second half and go to 9-0.
I'm more an onlooker than an involved clubman, but ive been hearing whispers that we are hiding a player of some quality in the 2s. I don't know much about him, just that the boys call him "The Bont". Something to keep an eye on.

Sorry about the cat mate some things are bigger than footy. Can’t 100 percent confirm as I was at the Taylor swift concert tonight myself but my mate was walking his dog past Gillon oval tonight and he saw “the Bont” training with the ones this week. He couldn’t smell number twelve so no comment there.

Interesting results on the weekend, BT reserves cop their second 300 point loss, Seniors almost beat WF, SMS and MH in a "sharp shooting" affair and Brunswick are beatable.
Credit to South, that was a cracking game, however I did see that Tajh Haddock did not play. Was that the difference?
That 3rd and 4th spot still up for grabs between South, WF, WP and MH
