Round 13

Best this week were Grace, Helen, Jeremy Colleen, Jeremy, Matt, Ray, Sal, Steph and myself, all with 6 out of 8. Next were Fran, Gaynor, Janet and Lara with 5. Gaynor was in the lead on her own for about 6 weeks until Tony jumped in front of her last week, but now Gaynor has bounced back and she and Tony are tied for the lead, one ahead of Fran, and with Helen and Huddo tied one further back.

That was a great win for the Crows on Thursday night – at last we have beaten Geelong. It was also good to see Matthew Nicks, Jordan Dawson and other Crows players at Noarlunga on Saturday watching their Reserves against South, with the Crows beating the Panthers by 44 points in the end. Noarlunga is a ground where you can drive in and watch from your car. That’s what some of the Crows boys were doing – the camera found them and zoomed on in them. So, the Crows’ season is back on track, especially if we can beat the in-form Dogs on Thursday night at Docklands. Meanwhile, Carlton’s run of wins is now at four, Gold Coast are faltering, and Freo go into a bye this week still sitting pretty on top of the ladder.

The Neale Daniher funeral is on Wednesday and I’m going. What an inspiration of a man.
