Armstrong looks to be playing on the wing. Probably us trying to get some match fitness into him in his first game back.


Gibcus went off after a contest. Hopefully just winded  .

Hanson long to the hot spot. It drops in the wet conditions and Pollocks playing in front marks 25 out. Goal!

Gibcus they're working on his neck

Harry not 0n the wing. Forward

But started on the wing for on centre square bounce due to them stuffing up the interchanges

[WilliamPowell]

Gibcus back on

FWIW I'm sitting behind the interchange bench listening intently 😅

Rebound from D50. Yassine gets out of the back along with Armstrong. Yassine handball to Armstrong who kicks a nice finish on the run from 35 out

Lights on at Werribee

Have no idea making zero difference

That wasn't a mark to Werribee. Garner had first hands to it.
