i thought the crowd was excellent and ringed most of the oval..i see you had stalls set up on the western side which were frequented well and would have been a good money spinner..oval was patchy but not hard and that was important with most ovals like concrete atm..beers after the game were very much appreciated..you should be proud of your club and they way they went about it..with a strong B grade plus a C and D grade you are definitely ready for division 4..
the only dampener for me was the 2 men in white who were over the top officious and umpired like it was a game between the bloods and the crips paying light infringement penalties all day..i dont like to discuss umpires as they DONT determine who wins or loses and they didnt this time either but with 60 (and i know the split) frees in such an important game it certainly wasnt what were expecting from umpires from higher divisions..good umpires are not noticed..these 2 were noticed by everyone at the game..they spoiled a really good hard game of footy with far to many free kicks..
Maybe I was too exhausted to notice the umpires or maybe we got a good run but I thought they were ok, a lot of touchy stuff but it stayed like that all day. I don't like it when they change from touchy decisions to letting everything go then back to touchy.
Thanks for the feedback Zed, looking forward to a good day out at CLG on Saturday. I am hoping for a draw and extra time.
I have a problem. It's to do with the little man, the squashed-in French man, the naked little squashed up hairy boy! You know! With the hand feet
