Match Day Thread Rnd 21 Sydney V Fremantle. SCG. 13.45 pm.

The only issue is the sun in the eyes of the players.

Yes the sun was causing a few problems. That set shot goal by McVeigh very close to the end of match was very impressive as he was looking straight into the sun. I think he kicked on instinct about where the goal posts were.

I would say it was a world record for KtoK !

Here's the city end of oval with Kick to Kick.

Are the goals aligned the same as the cricket pitches? I think they are. In cricket they talk about the Randwick and Paddington ends with this being the Paddington end. I think that's probably a bit more accurate too since the city direction is probably halfway between those goals and where this photo is being taken from.

[Meg]

Yes you're right, I couldn't remember the terminology when I was posting. The photo is of the Paddington end.

I should know as I go to a lot of cricket at the SCG. Will be sitting right where I've taken this photo for first 3 days of Ashes Pink test.

Kick to kick?! You could barely play pass the parcel in that congestion! Surely that's the sort of close packed situation that Tom Mitchell used to practice his inside disposal?

[Meg]

Here's the Randwick end - not a good photo with the sun on phone.

Melican only had 10 touches but thought he was very good they must have all been off the burst and a 10m run

[Auntie.Gerald]

Yeah
I remember the last kick to kick

It was Pitt street

a mate sent in a cracking 50m kick to our kids in the goal square and this random guy (who had a few drinks) went up for a mark from another ball his mate sent in and our AFL ball (fully pumped / bright yellow) smashed him right on the kisser

He went down like a hession sack of potatoes ????

Never saw it coming.......completely simpered full force

We all got him up , bleeding mouth and very dazed and he took a breather while all his mates were on the ground laughing at him

Eeeeeewwww

Ps melican is owning it !!

Was I watching a different game?
I'm not a basher but I thought Tippo was pretty ordinary again. I could see that he was trying hard but Sinclair seems well in front at this point of the season

[Untamed Snark]

Can the large crowd have anything to do with the fact that it was one of only 2 day games at home this year? It certainly did for me as I have 2 little kids and am sad I can't take them to more games.

I'd happily trade some friday night games for some more early afternoon games

Looks like they've got that backline very well packed.
