Plenty of darker skinned locals wearing Demons colours.. I know I was standing in a group of them.. I must have looked like a stone chip on a dark car on TV screens!Siegfriedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03282773946177730569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6408965100294016330.post-45064344879455669552019-07-22T21:45:43.007+10:002019-07-22T21:45:43.007+10:00Was at the Alice Springs game.. behind the goals ...Was at the Alice Springs game.. behind the goals and the Dees cheer squad. A bloody gale was blowing into my face before the toss and during all the first quarter! Couldn’t believe that we won the toss and decided to kick first in the opposite direction!,<br />Of course in the second quarter the wind died down to about 10% of what it was...<br />In the first quarter the Weagles were roosting 60m kicks down the ground while some of ours didn’t even make the distance from 45m out... you’ve covered the 5 points kicked which were all gettable.. but difficult given the wind strength....somebody screwed up biggly.Siegfriedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03282773946177730569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6408965100294016330.post-51660277071653523732019-07-22T16:36:26.133+10:002019-07-22T16:36:26.133+10:00I must have been in a similar mind frame.

Imagine being a defender who has struggled to keep the ball out only for straightforward shots to be pissed away (esp. WCE x2, Adelaide). Worse, imagine being one of those defenders (reputedly the best kick in the team) who is sent forward to show how it’s done and ends with 2.2 instead of 4 zip. Oliver’s goal proved you don’t need to allow for non-existent breeze or left-to-right fade. Just kick the bloody ball straight. After taking a contested mark that almost resulted in spinal damage.<br />Pro Eagles crowd: so much for the time and toil invested in NT over the years trying to woo the locals. No more games for Alice. Puts Darwin on notice to toe the line.<br />Not sure what Maximum has done to offend the umpiring fraternity. Horrible decisions against him two weeks running which took the wind out of our sails at key moments (but not the sole reason for defeat).<br />Knoreply@blogger.com
