I would've thought if Stack was fit to play then he'd come straight back into the seniors. He's only missed one game.

Bump.

Ch 7 coverage has started.

We'll got 10 pts clear at the top of the VFL ladder (playing one game more) if we win today.

Great pick up and give by SOldo. We're off to the Races. Gets to RCD who bends the back to try and avoid the chaser. His kick on the run thought misses to the left.

14 - 1

[one-eyed]

Balta runs and bounces past 5 Blues and then hits Markov at HF  .

Ordinary kick by Oleg allows the Blues to clear but only temporarily. We get it back on the wing and it gets to Aarts 45 out. Set shot = goal! 

Rich  3.2-20
NB     0.2-2
