Short's been the most impressive so far of the young guys.

Three OOTFs in a row .

Batch first.

And we kicked with the wind.

Never let it be said we are not fast learners.

Go Griggy!!!!!

[mightytiges]

Doggies on top in the last 5 mins and are back in front. Our kicks out of defence have been ordinary in that time.

31 - 35

[mightytiges]

Flossy to Petterd through the square. We have players free but Miles holds on a fraction too long and when he goes towards Vickery in the clear, the ball holds up in the wind and gives it time for Talia to spoil. Almost punished 12 pts on the rebound but the Dogs miss.

31 - 36

Even if their experience runs over us in the end, good to see our teenagers and late draft picks being competitive. Got it on record now because off to the foo fighters.

Spot on. Given the Dogs are at full strength while we are playing a virtual VFL side, there's been plenty of good signs so far from the young cubs.

Touchwood, we get through unscatched today too which is the main thing  . Other sides haven't been so lucky. Eagles' Eric McKenzie has done his ACL and young Libba's knee is also being scanned to see if he has done his ACL as well.
