At Preston. The forecast there was ordinary.

Their hone ground is still at Coburg, but they call it Piranha Park these days. Somehow I doubt they know the word 'piranha' does not just refer to carnivorous fish these days. I have heard from a number of sources that 'piranha' is used to represent sex for money in Brasil. Not having been there, I can only go on what I've heard or read. When I first saw it, the implication to me was clear: Coburg was a brothel. And while it tickled my admittedly strange sense of humour, I can't imagine it would have the same effect on the people of Coburg.

DISPOSALS: Wilson 19, Fisher 15, O'Shea 14, Mullett 14, Shaw 9, Schumacher 9.

No mention of Nick Graham. He must have gone to Perth as the travelling Emergency.

Palmer kicks truly and the Blues are away, 4 minutes into the 3rd quarter.

Thank god it isn't at Piranha Park today (the old City Park).
Seriously the worst oval on the planet when it's wet, a gluey stinking boggy morass akin to the Somme in 1916. They must top dress it with raw sewage it used to stink so bad, dogs used to drink from puddles and die. The black mud used to have gravel and grit in it which yielded cuts which used to fester almost instantly. Coupled with the ice cold water afterwards, what a deadset dump.

Makes Cramer Street look like the 'G.

The Blues started the term well: 3 goals to 1 so far. Glass-McCasker even snapped a goal!

2 quick goals to Glass-McCasker.
Is he trying to be the next Liam Jones?

An odd day at the footie:
Willy beat Richmond, Sandy lead Casey, Werribee beat Box Hill(!) and we're kicking straight.
Another goal to Tom Wilson.

6 goals straight to the Blues this quarter. Miracles can happen.

3/4 time and we have 24 point lead, but we really did squander a brilliant start. We kicked 6 goals for the quarter, but Coburg got 4 goals 5 behinds, with almost all of that coming in the last 10 minutes.
