I'll change it more regularly and l got a more centred pic this time.

He was ok apart from that dreaded high ball into the clutches of lion cubs

Your dollars would have have put the kiss of death on your Blues. Nice way to start the season. Congrats.

Throw Motlop in as well - who comes out? Carroll staked his claim, Kennedy looked of the pace but had some important moments, Young didn’t do a lot wrong but is most likely to come out for Weitering while none of the small forward really impressed

Will be even better when Weitering, Walsh & Martin are playing.

No, I prefer to watch the game on TV than actually going to the game as you get to watch it a lot better.

Macca

Roar Rookie


We’re you there Col?

He showed abit tonight, hopefully gets a chance to start next week before Walsh comes back

Yeah I'm never happy when Carlton win. :silly:

Me too. I had tipped every game this season correctly until this one. Well, I suppose the run had to end eventually.

2024-03-08T11:38:23+00:00

Macca

Roar Rookie


Preseason I had my doubts the second half of last year was the blues reality, tonight has me convinced it is

2024-03-08T11:37:37+00:00

Alan

Roar Rookie


Agree - the Sydney Game was terrible to watch.

2024-03-08T11:35:55+00:00

Rowdy

Roar Rookie


After a stellar run in this year's tipping I finally lost my first tip for the season.

2024-03-08T11:33:33+00:00

Macca

Roar Rookie


I should have listened to you and taken the blues at $4

Happy for the purple boys to be playing Brissy next week. Time for Vossy to stop stuffing around with Jack Carroll. Play the East Freo boy.
