armchair view of the win over sydney

[Ed from WA]

Thank the good Lord for foxfooty,The game isnt on free to air in WA,6PR are doing the rugby and ignoring our game.

But ive got a front row seat in my tv room out the back,been a beautiful sunny day in WA but getting a tad cool now to sit outside by myself.

The circus is in town,theres a darts comp too and a few have gone to perth for the rugby,not me,im on tenterhooks.,been busting all day for 5.10 to come around.

On come the boys and they dont go thru the banner
,its left standing like a honeymooners dick,proud and ready,but no one ran thru it.

On the bench are pendlebury,Johnno<Lika and Chad.

Egan is a late replacement for wakes they tell me.

Bucks won the toss and said we will kick that way as he pointed to the team photo from the 70s i have on the wall.

Crikey!! before i could get a stubby lid off taz had a free kick!!!!!!!!!
and he gives it off to daks who nails a goal on his right foot.

And you wouldnt read about it,Lonie dobbed one from 60 and i still havent had a sip.
Fix that situation pronto during the ads.
2 goals in 90 secs,what a start!
Could have been 3 goals in 3 minutes if josh hadnt dropped a mark in the square.

Lonie looks on his game,gets a nother touch and passes to leon about 25 out and leon misses the shot!!piss poor effort,to be a top side we have to stop being wasteful.

Swans start to slow down play,and do the chip it about routine,and we dont help ourselves by kicking it straight back to them every time we come out of defence.

Didak gets a soft free 10 mtrs out and mucks it up!!!!!!!!

then the swans get a point and then a goal as the kick out missed its target.

Ant barges thru a pack,handballs to lonie from his knees and Lonie rolls a daicos special thru.

Then Lika snaps a beautifuly ugly snap that somehow went thru the hi diddle.

Looks promising,we are winning the hard balls.

Rhyce does a shocker of a pass and the t/o results in a swans goal.

We pass it to egan a few times but he cant mark any of them,bit silly trying him at FF i note down.

And when he did mark a pass from ANT the ump said no 15,play on.
That seemed to upset the ANT and he grabbed crouch around the neck and tried to pull it off.

siren we lead 4.3 to 2.4

should have been at least 4 goals up.

BJ starts the qtr with a shot at goal that is no good,Ant takes a strong mark at FF and kicks another bloody point,then Chad kicks it OOF under no pressure and they kick a point

Taz gets his second free for the game,which is a record for him but he too misses a sitter.

Im getting angry at this wasteful stuff every week.
we should be 8 goals up

then ANT marks on an imposible angle and threads it thru!!!

perhaps thats the key? lets only take shots from the chalk?

Luckily the disease has spread to sydney and they too miss several easy shots
its a pointathon mixed into a flood.

I almost drop my stubby as taz gets another free!! and he passes to Josh who kicks a goal.

after a wasteful half we lead 6.7 to 2.10

I think at half time the umps will need to get new whistles,as they surely have worn the ones they had out.


I say to myself that if we can stay ahead this qtr and keep the crowd out of the game we can win this.

Apparently MM wasnt on the same thought train as me and before the third term had gone 5 minutes they have kicked 3 goals and then another turnover from egan with yet another errant pass they hit the front.

Luckily not for long as BJ roves Joshes ruck tap and goals.

Daks gets a soft free again and goals,Nicole davis misses an easy shot to the delight of the crowd
then Rhyce does a pirrouhette and a few other ballet moves to bamboozle the swans backs and goals
we are back on top after a brief scare.

Egan takes a one handed mark and goals to make up for his piss poor disposals in the back half.
the juries out for me as to if hes mature enough for league footy yet. we miiss a few more easy shots
luckily so do they

and Rocca marks and goals as the siren sounds

11.8 to 6.13

Im nervous, i may run out of stubbies,im supposed to be cutting back
how can you during games like this?

29 points up isnt a great lead,but it should be enough if we keep playing the way we have been.
1 minute in oloughlin goals,but 15 secs late Daks slammed one thru for us

Rocca gets our umpteenth soft free kick ,but misses again.

If we dont take advantage when the umps are with us like this they may get the tom tits and not help us any more.

leon snaps a point.....leon snaps OOF,i drop my stubby all over my wifes favourite tv chair


as im cleaning it up so she wouldnt notice daks goaled on his right foot

heath Shaw is a rock!! kids got guts.

Pendlebury does the steal of the year and leon goals
9 minutes left and we are 6 goals up.
I should be happy,but one of the effects of being a long suffering pie fan is i know its never over until that bloke i used to call the unfaithfull fishkisser screeched out a song.

But after reading a story from the other woman,its become clear he wasnt unfaithful,hes just a wanker.

My worries were well founded as this mob dont just lie down and as we took the foot off the pedal they stormed us.

Egan did another errant pass which lead to a goal from them,oloughlin hit thepost,Okeefe missed a sitter

we are just 2 goals up and under seige

I hate the way channel ten run down the clock,why cant we see how long there is to go?

the siren goes!!!!

phew!! a great win,but i dont know why we let them back in it.

14 11 to us 11.14 to them

votes?
I loved the game rhyce played,and teamed well with his brother who was also great.
Didak and Lonie did great work all night,taz ran all night presenting and wore out his opponent
Clement was steady at the back end.
Burns was brilliant at times under pressure

Love em all.
