It's almost easier to spot who is NOT in a long-sleever out there for out blokes! At least 10 of ours are going around in sleeves. Just as the Good Lord intended!

All 14 of our AFL listed blokes are out there...

Lucky it's not snowing, Ballarat's cold at the best of times.

First score to them, a behind from general play...

0-1

Not that cold here, all things considered. I'm even wearing my coat open!

Great looking team, especially this line:

HB: Alan Toovey, Adam Oxley, Marley Williams

Goldy pole-axed going back with the flight!

Wins a free... and seems to be okay...

They're playing their dungheap very well, North (as you'd expect). They're forcing us to play down the outer side and what hacked kicked isn't being picked off is sailing either out of bounds or OOTF...

I'd agree but really harsh on Nick Gray, and Collopy hasn't done too much wrong, ditto Hinkley. A senior or rookie listed player or 2 can consider themselves very fortunate.
Like Corey Gault, for instance...?

Golds for another.

Roosters on the board after Golds (I think) drops an intercept mark inside defensive 50 that was his for the taking...

0-8

Understand it's a little damp out there, but the fumbles and skill errors have been quite laughable from our blokes...

Witts is getting embarrassed out there by an octogenarian and a newcomer...

Well. he wouldn't want to disappoint all his faithful "supporters" on Nick's. They'll be whingeing soon that he isn't doing enough to get his trade value up, though.

Cox, in the stands and in civvies and providing selfies to the crowd, is doing a better job than our so-called promising backup ruckman...
