The Kolonel watched things unfold for Voice of The Outer...
The Box Hill City oval was the latest crime scene for the latest mauling for the Bendigo Bank Cats and the Kolonels world tour of Victoria. We have so far been to many settings and belted by many teams, the Cats had consistent footy instilled in them by coach Leigh Tudor who must surely be next in line for a senior coaching gig somewhere.
The Chant Guy opted for a fleecy jumper due to the cool conditions that greeted us at the ground. The Ground was a mud pit in the middle which I thought would suit that tough in and under players of the Cats like Blake and Batchelor. The Cats were disappointing to say the least in the first quarter with Mark Blake winning hit outs, Rahilly hitting targets and Jarrod Garth kicking straight to see the Cats keep within a goal for most of the first stanza.
The Chant guy & I sang a lovely duet each time the Cats kicked a goal, meaning by the end of the first quarter all the Box Hill fans were pissed off and I had managed to make an idiot of myself. Objective number 1 ticked off the list. Young aboriginal boy Rowan Bonson unfortunately didn’t play, and neither did Mule Boot David Haynes, ending speculation during the week we would see the two Mules face off: Haynes verses Mule Face Josh Thurgood, who gave away 5 free kicks during the game for being ugly, and was reported for indecent exposure.
The second quarter the Cats played possessed, a Leigh Tudor spray during the break must’ve inspired them to play insipid football, kicking just one goal and conceding 7. Nathan Ablett spent the majority of the quarter on the pine, channel 7 reporter Craig Hutchinson believes this was because they were selling pies at the game, expect a full report about tomorrow on channel 7 news.
Matthew Egan played a sterling game at Full Back, without looking at the stats I'd say he was our leading possession getter, and should be either promoted or dropped. His hard tackling, selflessness and courage does not belong in any team coached by Tudor. Tim Callan also plays the game in this way, no doubt waking up Monday morning a very, very sore boy after going in hard pack after pack.
The third term and there was no chance of a Liverpool type comeback for the Cats, they are just too undisciplined to let that happen, and it must've had Leigh Tudor grinning from ear to ear in his tin shed excuse for a coaches
box. Nick Batchelor typifies this, kicking the ball before he gets it in an effort not to get any attention from opposition players, and skirting the outside of the packs looking for cheap kicks, which didn’t work because
Jay Cheep spent the majority of the game on the bench. Anyway, the Cats conceded another 6 goals and a 100 point flogging looked on the cards, this young teams best effort yet.
Unfortunately Matt Spencer played a very good game at centre half forward, taking 5-6 strong grabs up the ground and kicking a couple of goals in the last. Luke Buckland who will be cut at the end of the year kicked a couple of goals in the second half also, and nearly took mark of the... A.D, but couldn’t hang on. Buckland is a very athletic player but it gets him only so far. His skills and defensive efforts are flawed and hasn’t done nearly enough to get promoted next season.
Brent Prismall played a good last term and had a pretty solid game. He was the pick of the midfield bunch and when he learns to find the ball to match his silky smooth skills will be a player to watch. Happy, they had the game won on the ground, the Hawks coaching staff sent two bogans down to tag the chant guy. Being the selfless contributor to the team I am, I felt it necessary to step in and help him...
- Matt Spencer kicks a goal -
Kolonel - Yes! The Cats are back, now we get to do Oi,Oi,Oi with the Chant guy!!
Silence....
Kolonel - Hey Chant guy, what about Oi,Oi,Oi??
Hawkswhore - Go back to Geelong you loser, the Cats suck (at the Chant guy)
Kolonel - Yeah, and peroxide hair is cool....
Chant Guy - Spenner Spenner Spenner
Kolonel - OI OI OI
Chant Guy - Spenner Spenner Spenner
Kolonel - OI OI OI
Chant Guy - Spenner
Kolonel - OI
Chant Guy - Spenner
Kolonel - OI
Chant Guy - Spenner Spenner Spenner
Kolonel - OI OI OI
During this time, Hawkswhore has proceeded to say "sucks" after everything the Chant Guy said..
Kolonel - I'll see you at Centrelink on Thursday love!
Anyway, the Chant guy had the last laugh with the Cats outscoring the Hawks in the last by a point and the Kolonel getting the best of the skanky hawks whore and her deadbeat brother/husband/cousin.
You’d think that when the siren sounded we'd walk home content with seeing another percentage boosting win, but my main objective was yet to come. That was to get Nathans autograph. Admittedly, he showed a little more than he had in previous weeks, winning a few one on one duels, laying tackles and ending with 10-15 touches. He has nice skills, is powerful one on one, but is yet to learn how to play the game. Anyway, I got my wish at the end of the game said G’day to him gave him a pat on the back and parted ways knowing I could sell the number 23 hoops I donned with his signature on it for about 500 bucks on e-Bay. No, I won’t do that but what I will do is ask the VFL for a please explain. How can the Hawks fit Nick Holland and John Barker under the salary cap. I mean VB is $3.50 but still, that’s a lot of raffle tickets. He must be getting paid more than the club makes in revenue each year. And to all the Hawks fans who cheer Nick Holland - You make me laugh. Ha! HAHAHAHAHA. How can you cheer a VFL player who is your highest paid player? Is it because his contract is to end soon or are you just idiots.
Kolonels best for the Cats - Egan, Spencer, Prismall, Garth, Callan, Chambers.
Kolonels best for the Hawks - Buckland, Condy, Batchelor, Blake.
Significant others -
Sanderson: Played 3/4's so I guess that is a positive.
Koula - Played most of game in midfield, probably 20 tocuhes. Kicked a nice goal, still needs to lift
to make return.
Surfie Dude (aka Simon Clarke) I like his style, athletic tall who worked hard and could hold head high.
