What a waste! Streaming in numbers to 50 and Olden just blazes away and puts it OOTF  .

Dumb dumb dumb! Melville gives away 50 and a goal against the breeze to Sandy .

[Knighter]

Street looks like he is still peeed from last night. Been poohouse.

[one-eyed]

Geez our forwards take the wrong option. The ball was in the goalsquare and it ends up 30 out by the time we fumble and stumble.

Anyway Street snaps a point.

And then another shot misses.

38 - 26
