JLT Community Series Week 2: Gold Coast v Essendon Sunday 26th Feb

[LF]

3:40pm@Harrup Park

[Jukes]

Begley and Laverde kick the first two goals and Parish leading the DT - the future is bright :P

[Jukes]

Brodie killing it too! What a gun

[Mat0369]

Barlow is playing a bit through the middle but I think the Suns are missing 9 first choice players including a number of midfielders.

Stants <3 what a beast

Barlow is playing a bit through the middle but I think the Suns are missing 9 first choice players including a number of midfielders.

Not sure who would displace him though, his inside work is proving pretty critical atm (19 possessions to HT). Lyons more an outside/HFF, Gaz playing fwd, who else is missing that might push him out? Only other midfielder missing is Aaron Hall, but I doubt there isn't room for both to operate in the same midfield.

[Jukes]

Daniher + Stewart + Begley + Laverde could be a delicious forward line if they click (and the latter three keep playing like they have been today). Add to that maybe Green and Walls and that's a potentially awesome young forward line

[Mat0369]

Gaz, Harbrow, Hall and Rosa will all rotate through the middle. Bowes and Lyons can also be added to the list. Based on what Rocket has said he will play more half forward and I can see that when they have everyone in their side.

gun Parish

[Bill Manspeaker]

that should've been 50. ripped off I reckon

[Jukes]

Not even a real match and the umps already screwing us, business as usual I guess. Screwed out of at least two wins last season from it and it'll surely continue if today is any indicator

Pre season is no excuse for totally rigged matches

Mate please



Also I dont think you truly believe the match is rigged, you're a fool if you do!

Also also, it'd be a soft 50 if it was given.

Also also also, its preseason. If Woosha really wanted to win he wouldn't have had Jobe, Goddard on the pine with two minutes remaining.

[elephants]

While its a topic btw, umpires should be able to instruct a player to give the ball back to the opposition imo rather than waste 2-3 seconds waiting for the player to run up and get the ball from between the other blokes legs.

Actually showers me to tears

It's not about winning and losing, it's about what's right. As an umpire myself it ticks me off to see such incompetency in other umpires, especially at this level. This on top of the three weeks of extremely bias umpiring that got the dogs to the premiership when fair umpiring would have them as semi finallists.
