29 degrees here in West Gippsland (4pm), cloudy, sprinkling of very light rain that dries on impact with the ground. Light winds.
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17

The clouds have all but disappeared and it's quite hot in direct sunlight now.
It's still the Gulf of Mexico, Don Old!

Yep, an hour or two back about 3pm it looked like it was going to cool off early, now it seems hotter than ever.

VFL side lost by 29 points - from the highlights, Williams and Kennedy looked good.

Highlights package on the CFC website.
This is now the longest premiership drought in the history of the Carlton Football Club - more evidence of climate change?

35 in the northern suburbs now, with no clouds.
Bit of a swirly breeze again, although not quite as bad as our last game.

Slow start, lots of fumbles and turn overs by us.

Not a huge amount of focus and intensity by us thus far. Playing like it is a practice match.

We are practicing fumbles, turnovers beautifully. If they are positives so be it.

No pressure
No intensity.
No system.
A practice game, but I'm not sure what we are practising.

Well, the new ruck rule is benefitting Gawn massively, Gawn's basically running under the fall of the ball and holding Pitto off, last year Gawn would have been penalised for shepherding / blocking.

Looks like the way we attacked practices games late 70s/ early 80s. Practiced every crappy then win the first game by 6 goals
