Macrea, Mcinnes and harrison all playing

[stui magpie]

Wet slippery day, surface water on the ground. Norf has had most of the ball in the first 7 minutes and lead 1.2.8 to no score.

[stui magpie]

24 minute mark 1st quarter, Begg kicks the first goal for the Pies from a free kick, Norf 10, Pies 7.

Dunno if it's just the camera but Begg looks to have put on a lot of weight since last year, much bigger in the thighs and shoulders.

[stui magpie]

Quarter time, Norf 1.6.12 leads Pies 1.1.7

Best player for Pies Macrae, Bianco, Allen.

Ground is resembling the old back yard slip and slide, players go to ground and slide 2 metres sending up a spray of water as they go.

[stui magpie]

Goal to Turner for Norf from a free kick, Norf 18 Pies 7. Norf are dominating the inside 50's.

Krueger and Reef yet to touch the ball.

[stui magpie]

Lovely snap from the boundary by Carmichael. 18 to 13 Norf in front.

[stui magpie]

Goal to Nrof directly in front from a dodgy free kick, should have been caught but scumpire paid in the back. 27 to 16 Norf in front 18 minute mark 2nd quarter

[stui magpie]

Snap goal to Norf, 33 to 16.

[stui magpie]

Kreuger Goals from a free kick, 40 metres out, 45 degree angle, straight through the middle.

Norf leads 34-22

[stui magpie]

Half Time.

Norf 4.10.34 to Pies 3.5.23

Bianco and Macrae leading possession getters on the ground. Stats pretty even, Norf winning the hitouts but Pies winning clearances.

Norf getting it inside 50 more than us.

Not sure if Reef has been off the ground but him and Jetta yet to record a possession.

Ruscoe has been good down back for mine, Kreuger has been throwing himself around as usual, seems to be rotating Ruck/Forward with Begg and Steene.

[Dark Beanie]

Would be good if the Pies can get the win.
Chances of finishing in the top 8 are slipping away.

Thanks for the updates, Stui

Trailing 5.13 to 11.16. But if a shellacking, now.
