from a far off lounge chair it looked like this

[Ed from WA]

MM tries a new trick move by playing heath shaw instead of scott burns.
Shaw played 4 qtrs against willy yesterday,big ask for a kid.


With the roof open i decided to get in the groove and moved the tv out to the back verandah,lovely sunny day here in my part of WA.

Bucks won the toss and kicked towards our backyard dunny.

Josh wins first tap,cheesy passes to CHF where TC marks spots Taz and hits him on the tit.
taz hits the post.
tazzza has another go a few minutes later and misses a sitter.
It takes 8 minutes for us to finally bomb one long to ANT who marks and goals.

taz gets another on the tit and kicks it OOF this time.Not to be denied Lika has a shot for the same result OOF.
10 minutes played we have gone inside 50 ,10 times for very little result.

Hawks go fwd twice for 2 goals.TC marks and goals then we play funny buggers like Adelaide did last week,only we muck it right up and the hawks end with another late goal.

16-19 down at the change.

Open the second qtr with a dash fwd,didak kicks it to lika by himself in the goal square,yet somehowwhile lika got on his left foot he got tackled and $@&^# it up.
Hawks went fwd and goaled.
taz who has a case of the yips now has a shot from 95,Ant marks it in the square and goals.
Now thats better pies.
Our fwds are suffering from terrible passing from the mids,but that didnt excuse the lack of defensive pressure applied as the hawks cleared our 50 most times.
Lika is having a shocker,Ant hasnt done much.
Richards is no hope in the ruck,the game is a shocker.Josh marks and goals to put some sanity on the game,then its back to comedy capers as lonie runs into open goal on his right foot and misses a shot my mom could have kicked.
The final scene of a comedic half came whn Taz marked 30 out and didnt make the distance.

33 to us-42 to them.

They decide to close the roof,but its not raining here so i stayed outside.
hawks seem to like the roof closed and goal in the first 15 secs of the second half.
we are 15 points down and looking shite.
they show the coaches box and MM is in the back row,has he given up? handed control to browny?
Whatever it was all of a sudden the pies see the light.

Kick long and direct,Ant comes to life,takes marks galore,even does a few great second efforts
the goals pile on
taz who is by now deflated as to his goal kicking,but still getting the ball plenty takes marks and handballs to blokes next to him twice and they both goal.
We have the hawks on the hop,playing the game the way it should be played.

Just on the end of the third term taz marks 30 out in the pocket,goes back and slots it.
Now thats better.

81- 56 up



Start with johhno running down the flank,he passes to ANT,as usual his pass is shit,it goes over Ants head,but somehow rolls thru for a sausage.
the Gods are with us today.
Ant and brodie goal and the large lady starts gargling in preparation for a song.
taz has a shot from 75 that Josh marks in the square,more from Ant and daks and its all over now baby blue.Joffa dusts off the cobwebs from the gold jacket and dons the aforesaid item as the siren screams,so do the crowd.
119 to us-84 to them

We have won one in a row.

Goals Rocca got 8 Josh and leon kicked 2 and 5 others chipped in with one each

best players ? Josh,Bucks,Carrots,Swan,Rocca,Thomas,Didak....

in fact i reckon we only had 3 clear losers on the day.

Harry got chopped up by dixon,Richards was hopeless in the ruck and Lika had a shocker.

Votes? 3.Josh 2.Buckley 1 Rocca

well ed, from a far off bed at 5 in the morning with the radio on my computer next to me it did sound pretty shite when we were 15 points down in the third. Then i had the next stage of the match completely talked down by robert walls, who seemed convinced that the only reason that we were winning was because of some kid that was playing on the roc. good onya wallsy, you tried to make my morning bad but the pies made it very sweet indeed!
