Umpires lost control of that. They knew it would boil over (always does when a free is paid that far off the ball in front of goal), they should have been ready to pay us a free in the centre square from the restart when Pickett decked Mansell, but the umps seemed to enjoy it. The Melbourne players knew they could steal frees because of it. Thats what lead to Vineys stage on the wing against Kmac just after that as he was expecting the slight touch from Kmac would result in a free for him so he dived.

the umps loved it. Ate it up. they were like kids with a bunch of firecrackers.
everywhere on the north side of the river, with the exception of The Valley, is bland.
all the way to Thursday island
Fair call but I couldn’t live there. The winter is great but the humidity in summer is putrid. Would drive me nuts.
Not as good as the ones in Melbourne (at least the ones we’re in).
Noah has had a poor start to the year on the whole. BUT he aint alone its a bit endemic and has been since the season started.
Been glossed over.
In fact there are a few that have not hit the season well.
Baker (although seems to be doing better now) and Astbury, had been down or not as assured and so too has Short even though hes getting kicks he isnt impacting.
Jack Graham seems to play one good then one or 2 ordinary ones, Rioli has been poor and George has also dropped off.
Cotchin off the pace, Houli well off the pace, Lynch has been very poor, Grover up and down and missed a game and Aarts is not up to it.
Our most consistent performers have been - , Nank, JR8, Shai, Dusty, Broad, Grimes, Pickett and Sheds, thats pretty much it.

I love the heat. Growing up in Ballarat scarred me for life. 27 and not a cloud in the sky today, and it will be like that until September, give or take
Agreed! every GF I have attended in Bris was great. , but MCG next time
Yeah 6 months of the year would be great; the other 6 totally shitful in my opinion. It’s not the heat it’s the humidity; I *smile* hate it.I love the heat. Growing up in Ballarat scarred me for life. 27 and not a cloud in the sky today, and it will be like that until September, give or take
I don’t mind the cold. Melbourne’s weather is okay by me.
Ha ha yes Sydney overall is a shithole. Although lived there for 3 years in my late 20s and had a great time. The weather is quite like Brisbane; great in winter but shitfully humid in summer.
I would never live there again though. Been there done that. My company’s head office in Sydney and overtures about a potential move have been put forward on occasion. I have resisted rigorously.

Mansell was good. Loved his aggression and saw him step into much bigger blokes faces when he needed to. Not bad for a 3-gamer. Should have been rewarded with a free kick for the first contact from Pickett - Blocking. And if not that, should have had a free kick from when Pickett charged him after kicking the goal. What I liked was that he didn't take a backward step at all. He is giving me some Dan Jackson and Jake King vibes with his attitude. Loving it.
It’s all about gettin in with the locals. Once you do - the place opens up. Trouble is the locals take to us Mexicans about as well as Broncos supporters take to the Storm.
