Also no sign of Still, Pendles III, Taylor and Lach Wallace either this year, all injured?

Yeah, all of those guys have had delayed pre-seasons through injury.

Still was released to plat locally on permit a couple of weeks ago, but haven't heard anything since...

Was named last week, didn't take his place.

Can only assume he's still injured...

Online here now at Cramer Street.

Pies have won the toss, kicking to the Bruce Street end (right of screen), which is being favoured by a slight breeze.

Phillips the only emergency out there, no Marsh...

Need to win this to get the season back on track.

And away we go!

Phillips snaps from the boundary across his body, bounces wrong side

1-0

I think that's Jamison out there in #27 for them, has Cloke who started at FF...

Been played in our forward 50 almost exclusively thus far, just can't get clean possession...

White intercept marks forward of wing.

Wheels around, pumps it long, Cloke has a whole nest to deal with, clears the pack, Hellier at ground level, shovels it off to Cloke getting back, GOAL!

7-0

Quick centre break to the Blues, Roos goals.

Macaffer snaps over his shoulder from a F50 stoppage, misses badly...

8-6

The 11th Doctor (Matt Smith) steadies on the run but misses...

9-6

And while I am typing that, Phillips has either marked the kick-out or won a free...

From 40m, against the boundary... oh, LOVELY KICK!

GOAL!

15-6

Cloke marks sliding out, but can't repeat Phillips' heroic from almost the exact same spot on the outer side...

16-6

Excellent work by Hinkley to escape capture deep in defence, slips a handpass away, Cloke gets ahold of it and goes BOOF down the corridor, carries all the way into the 50, Crocker in a footrace, out-points his man, gathers, wheels around, snaps and GOALS!!!

22-6

Crocker can't repeat off 1 step, again from that same area as Phillips and Cloke...

23-6
