from the armchair,how the pies belted the hapless pussies

[Ed from WA]

Been a nice day in WA so far,played golf,lost my usual 10 dollars in bits on the round.
Had a few beers to ready myself for the pies v cats blockbuster.
Back in my comfy arnchair this week after having been at sooby in the microscopic plastic chairs that only half my arse fits on and my kness belting the grumpy woman in front of me.

Bit apprehensive as most sides struggle the week after playing in perth .


Bucks won the toss and we kicked to what i always called the jolimont end.

Swan and taz both start on the pine,as MM has a new rotation plan in progress it seems.

The coloured mug banged the sherrin into the hallowed soil and the game was on.

Our first 2 fwd sorties hit rocca on the tit and bounced straight off it.

Had a laugh when they showed cam clokes new hair do.
strange how his hair turned white when it was his dad who got held up at gunpoint?
funny family.

5 minutes of pie attack and we finally kick a goal thru leon and up goes the finger already.
I think he meant the cats are out!

Didak marks at 50 then he and lonie play silly buggers,try their best to stuff it up,but burns bangs it thru to put some sanity back in the game.
8 mins in Rocca and Burns go off and swan and taz come on.
Its a double ended floodathon.
Johnnos back to his worst disposal wise OOF 2 in a row.
then a minute later hes forgiven as he bangs thru the pies 3rd for the qtr.
the cats goaled without a pie touching it from the bounce down.
Bucks off Rocca on and the big fella goals immediately from the square.
The intensity lifts quite a lot as the cats realise they are already in strife against a switched on pie unit.

Taz takes his regular specky against the cats and goals
leon is showing off all his magic tricks so far,sets Rocca up for his second.and we get 2 goals in a minute to make it 6 for the qtr.

Our first qtrs have been our worst all year,not tonight.
6.0=36 v 2.1=13

Josh starts the second term by dumping his guts all over the G.
Maybe the AFL will have to bring in a chunder rule?


leon opens the flooded waters and dashed thru to goal to open the second terms scoring.
Bucks has a shot,no score.
Obree and 60000 pie fans were then bewildered by the coloured mug,who pinged cheesy for letting bartel grab him around the shoulder.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! shout the crowd.
Ill write to umpy humpy on tuesday about that one!



We play chippity chip around the edge of the flood for a while then Swan bangs one thru.
Heath Shaw is very brave down back,and is the link man in our offensive drives.
We squander a few chances until cheesy found a way thru the flood and slammed one thru the hi diddle.
And looked at the heavens to say
"that one was for you grand dad."

Swan bags another from a Rocca pass then Leon shows all his poise and pace to bag another sausage.
Rocca takes his 3rd one handed mark of the night and goals to make us 10 goals clear at the long break.

Champagne footy.
12.3=75 v 2.4=16

Cats get the first goal of the term,and i worry.
Its the legacy of 40 yrs of watching us lose so many games we had won.
But soon i realise we had nothing to fret about as we slam on another few goals to Swan,leon and Shaw.
16 mins into the 3rd qtr the gold jacket is on,the gold hat is on,the large woman has already sung and packed away her tonsils.
I dips me lid to the work of josh fraser,hes just played the best 7 qtrs in his life.
How a bloke his size can win a centre tap and then be in the fwd pocket to mark 10 secs later is incredible,and he did it both ends and all night.
18.10=118 v 3.6 =24

Josh and Bucks start on the pine as MM realises its a long season and no point draining all the energy from the guns.
Clement is bemused for getting pinged for doing what all backmen have been getting away with against tarrant all year.
Thats another one for umpy humpy on tuesday,Clinton.

then the umps have a feel sorry for the poor old cats qtr and they get soft as treacle frees but all to no avail.

Cam Cloke seemed to enjoy it when josh went off and he did ok in the ruck and around the ground.
Ant polishes off the game with a long goal from 60.
cats get one after the siren but our song is already being played.

the cats only clear winner was scarlett.
I thought he beat Ant but he still managed to bag a few anyway.
Votes were hard to give as it was a great team effort

3 josh Fraser
gave ottens and king a bath,took 14 marks,kicked goals,set others up,marked strongly in defence when needed
The perfect ruckmans game.
2 Dane Swan
1 Heath Shaw
