I think it was last year too from memory (could be wrong).

Dogs vs Lions is the other game on tonight. Not much better.

Dell'Olio was always going to play tonight. Maybe Winderlich still having a bit of an issue with his knee from the Sydney game a few weeks ago.

Lot of typical anti-dons umpiring, as we've come to expect. Doesn't matter, still winning. Two youngsters in Joe and Zacky have been very good.

Heater and Dev combined for 29 kicks and 2 handballs, that's how footy should be played :P
