Commie, It certainly hit the fan up here yesterday.
At quarter time I thought we would win by ten goals, Unfortunately the players must have thought the same.
No strong breeze, but definitely favoured the eastern end to which the Roosters kicked first. Apalling kicking by Corey Jones who kicked 4 pts from very simple shots.
Ten scoring shots to two in the first quarter.
Well done to Casey who are coached by a good tactician who did his homework whilst commenting for ABC the previous week. Sometimes the old wise heads are miles ahead of the hotshots.
Looking forwatd to Box Hill next week which will give us a better indication as to where are at.
I think it might be time to review those early season odds.
Bendigo 150/1 > Were there any takers.

There were no goals kicked at the grandstand end of the ground..the wind was howling but blowing more across the ground.....Matt Little had the chance to kick a goal at that end in the 3rd 1/4 but hit the post...and in the last 1/4 Rhys Stanley took a great mark 15 metres out directly in front but the wind made sure it was a point...
The 2 players who normally carve Sandy up were fairly quiet today...Patrick Rose and Brett Johnson..Little got 2 goals...he is as good a mark of the ball as anyone going around..the same can be said for Ben McEvoy
A highlight for Sandy was ne player Chris irving getting 3 goals in the 1st 1/4 and one on the 3rd...his tackling is awesome...
Minson was average at best today...although the conditions didn't really help him or any other player for that matter..
It would have been an injustice if Sandy had lost as they were never headed once for the entire game...and that's something of a rarity at one of the hardest grounds to win at...
A few weeks ago in a practice match at Whitten Oval, Willy played Sandy off the park in similar windy conditions
It all made for a particularly pleasant drive home from a match that I expected not to win
will the VFL and ABC have to rethink and give Sandy a telecast game at some point given they are on top alone?
Enjoy the view!!!

I'll enjoy it while it lasts...it's a long season and being on top after 3 rounds mean bugger all..
It's great to see ESSENDON doing so well after many years struggling.
:)
After that quality comment two words enter my mind...
UP YOURS ;)
In both the daily papers Herald Sun and the Age the ladders were not inclded in the results yesterday. This is simply not good enough.
