[The Donners]

Watson out, Atkinson in.

 

[Blind Blink]

I thought Winderlich was in for Watson? Atkinson isn't even an emergency?

 

[Houli2Gumbleton]

on gameday live it says johns and dyson are playing and no rama. Didn't look in it much. Might be other things too.

 

[BIGBEZ]

Great match preview! Anyway, Go Bloods!....

You could be right, I did read the article very early this morning... probably wasn't in a condition to be able to comprehend it!

[The Donners]

I think the side looks far more balanced this week. Sydney is probably the only team in the competition that I try and watch as little as possible, their style of football just frustrates the hell out of me. I'd like to think we have a rough chance today.... but I'm not at all confident.

We play more than one style, I gotta admit, Im not a big fan of the close em down style your refering to either, but you gotta admit, it keeps you on the edge of your seat, right till the end!

 

[Ricky]

the odds are ridiculous for this game

 

[OzBomber]

Lloyd should dominate Barry.

 

[Spikey]

Jolly goals from a free-kick...

 

[OzBomber]

Who's listening to MMM? Matthew Campbell (I think that's his name) is prononcing reimers like Rymers.

 

[WindyHillWatcher]

Sydney game

7 minutes left in the first quarter. Lloyd lining up for goal. Thinks looking bleak. I'm gonna start drinking and getting angry now

 

[OzBomber]

Re: Sydney game

2 behinds in a quarter. Disgraceful.

 

[Spikey]

Re: Sydney game

Welsh goals...That means he's off Goodes thank god...

 

[WindyHillWatcher]

awesome! glad i started drinking. 3 in a row! come on boys!

 

[WindyHillWatcher]

Bring me the head of Angus Monfries

 

[dapto]

Sounds like darcy and myers and jetta have been quite.

Heard little of ryder too.

Know anything of the rotations?

 

[bombre-boy]

< Know anything of the rotations? >

Unfortunatly the only rotation in the lst part of the 3red Q seem to be sydneys score rotating upwards....

 

[rancidpants13]

Who's listening to MMM? Matthew Campbell (I think that's his name) is prononcing reimers like Rymers.

at least on MMM they're close with names
on rex rhyming slang hunt's call, mark mcveigh is playing for both sides (the name jarrad mcveigh has been called maybe 3 times), ted roberts was in sydney's defence in the second term and half the time hunt and shaw don't even bother with the names of sydney players at all
a load of redneck, parochial vic-centric ignorant heckin'g rubbish ... again

oh, and somehow these clowns managed to mistake jude bolton for henry playfair....

 

[THOMO_31]

watching the footy on 7 and hislop is havin a very good game

 

[Schmick]

Impressed with Myers and Hislop so far even know they're not getting that much of the ball, just look like they belong. Riemers also good, besides an off day in the disposal department.

Im pretty sure Monfries has butchered every kick he's had today, discracefull. Would be a decent player for us if he improved his disposal (just like the rest of the team I guess).

Can't imagine us kicking many goals without McVeigh today, he's a mighty fine player to have. Welsh also playing a very good game, great player (Welsh>McPhee).

 

[OzBomber]

If we played this bad in 06, we would've won the wooden spoon easily.
