    Fair enough. I didn’t think Gards sat him down at all. I thought he was going to run with him, initiate some contact as you do in this game, and clumsy Francis bumped into him without really seeing it and fell over.

    At the end of the day, Francis should just go back to being mayor of Schitts Creek.

      Maybe that (anointed) was a strong word but you did say he was tall, fast, a good spoiler, checks his opponent well, is a good decision maker and rarely beaten. I guess you missed out incredibly handsome but you gave him a pretty decent wrap!
      What should I tell her? She's going to ask.

        I only saw him once or so in 2019 and thought he wouldn’t be on the list now. It’s a low base of expectation, but I was quite happy from then to now. Not sure on looks he’s a 9/10, more like a solid 7/10.

          I didn't realise it was him at the time but I met Gardner when he was working at the Railway in Yarraville just before he got drafted. He's definitely a very handsome guy. Hope that helps.

            This is the stuff you just can’t get from watching games on TV.

                    Yeah, that's correct. It's just that sometimes you're allowed two metres or seven, depending on how the umpire is feeling!

                        they make it up as they go along. I have seen players close to 2m when they run around the back of the player with the ball.

                          And almost got me in serious trouble.

                          I went off tap at the time dropped a few F-bombs at Young (for giving the 50), English (for missing a dead set soda) and the entire team (for being asleep).

                          My better half promptly got up off the couch and took her laptop with her and went to another room for the remainder of the first half...

                            My partner left the room before the bounce. Good decision from her.
                            Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

                              Mine was at work so I warned her I could be very grumpy when she comes back if we lose. Thankfully it was partway through the last and I was very happy

                                But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.
