Felt like a final at the Lodge - the pressure rating for the first half for both sides would have been through the roof. Credit to De La for playing a great brand of footy after that point.

Big milestone this week for Anthony Simpson reaching 600 games. From starting the goals in the 1990s to field umpiring over the last 20 plus years, Simmo has been a great servant.

St. Bedes were competitive with Old Geelong for 3 quarters but the 3rd Quarter cost them. Just wish the Oggers had proper umpires rooms and not a store room!

Not touching that one.

Good day at the Fearon too. Cys tried hard and at 1 stage in the 3rd quarter hit the front but then De La went whooshka. Talk about switching up gears.

Wellers too strong for CYs in the end but the footy was a decent standard by both sides.

Not a bad game at the Lodge yesterday...in hindsight Wellers probably were the better team on the day but a good close one to start the year

Trinity started like the proverbial house on fire and whilst it got incredibly willing for a praccy they were a class and a half above Marcellin

They looked good against Vermont 2 weeks ago after a slow start.

Yeah Max. Watching Trinity today at Marcellin. Memories of when they were both in Premier 20 years plus ago.

Finally back at HQ during the week. Significant numbers at the season launch - the social room upstairs was jam packed. Wish we could get the same numbers for our Association meetings!

Season launches for both competition and the umpires Wednesday night just passed (why schedule both on the same night?)

At Marcellin today as they host Trinity.

No change.

Marcellin would be encouraged by their efforts as Old Geelong weren't particularly great.

Do we play an undersized Lav to replace Reid or do we just go with Cox as a CHB as I felt the latter grew into the role replacing Reid yesterday. Caddy seemed to play well in the reserves by all reports so a straight swap for Jones might be the way to go. My changes: Out: Reid (injured)...

3 - Perkins 2 - Gresham 1 - McKay Plenty of players could have been in there.

Praise to Travis Cloke and the goalkicking. Suddenly our reliability up forward has arrived in style.

Pre-season training at EP4 has been a case of dodging the doggy-dos. Be glad for a bit of normality back at HQ!

Will be looking at Marcellin today against Old Geelong at Whitefriars of all places.

Surely the Fearon has a nickname by now...

I would have got lights done first. Memories of that game that was called off at 5.20 a few years back still linger Max!

It's a serious and science based approach. Yet the blokes at the Local Footy Show basically attacked them for it.

Nah you were one of the princes. We all know who the king is.

Long live the King! The King of the Calicos has stepped down from his throne.

Trialling at Essendon for the vacant spot there.

Pay that.

I honestly think the move to RSN hasn't been a good one. The Inner FM crew did it well for so long. Had the opportunity to meet Ken et al at a Premier after match at Toorak Park a decade ago now when Chilli introduced me. Think the crew loved how I umpired that day FWIW.

Tempting offer!

Ha!
