At the game watching from just after half time.
Terrible game of footy, they look the better team out there. 
Goal to them just before 3 quarter time.
51-36 up. 
Atmosphere weird but good for the youngsters to play on the G.  I prefer punt road oval for the curtain raiser

Ump #2 is totally clueless. You are allowed to hold your ground with your hands to take a mark.

I don't normally accept the clash jumper argument but the number of times we have kicked straight to Essendon players today you would think the Tiger has seen the dark jumper and thought it was a teammate. We'll find out tonight if it's an issue.

Cumberland in some form kicking goals selfish or not deserves a chance
