Carlton's VFL team got pumped by 127 pts yesterday, which means Norf can't fall out of the top 10 unless we somehow flog them today by 10+ goals.

It doesn't really change anything for us as we just need to win or we're out. Only difference now is if we win by less than 10 goals then we knock Carlton out rather than Norf.

Serious question

Is MRJ allowed to play today seeing he was only subbed on fro about 35 minutes yesterday?

[Tiger Khosh]

I’m pretty sure we’ve had subs play a full vfl game after a sub appearance.

Yes he is allowed to play and will play today

Rushed behind from the ball-up.

Plenty of inside 50s but can't score a goal.

Just as I type that, bad error by the Norf defender and Bauer intercepts 25 out. Goal! 

Rich  1.2-8
Norf  0.0-0

Ball-up at HF. Good tap by Samson to Banks who hits up Miller 40 out. Oddly goes to the pocket to Bauer which is a harder kick into the breeze. Misses.

These umps . Rugby throw by Norf and they get the free kick.

Goal to Norf.

9 - 6

[one-eyed]

Our tackling had been good so far but not pinging the arm in D50 allowed the ball to get out and Norf get another.

9 - 12

[Knighter]

Ralphsmith is a dud at this level also.  He stinks

[one-eyed]

Norf midfield getting on top now after we wasted the first 5-10 mins. Lucky they miss a sitter.
