West Coast Loses Pre-Season Derby

The first thing i'd like to note is that the Australian television media sucks for allowing foxtel to get the live-telecast rights for this game -- meaning that for those unlucky enough to be stuck with free-to-air, you had to stay up past Seven's new smash hit comedy What About Brian to catch the game... Farrrrk!
But... thankfully my dear girlfriend has fox, so i managed to catch most of the game up until Gray's Anatomy started.

All in all, a 6 goal loss is fine. Its the preseason... Who cares?? Geelong won last year, and weren't they devastating during the finals last year? oh wait a second...

Cool, so the Dockers managed to knock up a meaningless win, while the eagles gave a fair run to our young lads Matty Rosa, Matty Priddis and Mark LeCras. Their throwback numbers of Worsfold (24), McIntosh (11) and Kempy (2) are great. Especially the LeCras/Kemp lookalike tribute. Some concerns were raised when Rowan Jones took to the field (sorry Jonesy), but with Chris and Nightclub Embly out and Daniel Kerr behind bars, i guess our options were pretty limited...
  • Ben Cousins is in dire need of a non-metro haircut...
  • Mark Seaby would be so much better if he got a little "bad".
  • Lynchy looks "bad"... Unfortunately he doesn't really play too "good" yet...
  • I reckon a black guernsey would look awesome.
  • Adam Hunter will be an all-australian this year. With C*nter being a slightly inapropriate family-friendly-nickname, i'd like to propose the name Adonis Hunter. He's chiseled like a greek god and is pretty into his looks, plus it starts with Ad like Adam. I'm not gay.
  • Is Mmm-Bop Hanson, Rump Staker and Lynchy really a forward line?
