never mind the drop goal.can anyone tell me why on a very windy day we kept putting a kick along the ground on the last tackle.much more pressure would have been put on them with a high ball.
i feel sure we could have come up with a couple of more scores.

I can tell you mate. Did you happen to see the players warming up, and in particular the high kicks Goldy and Shifty were doing? They were going all over the shop, in to the crowd and not where they wanted them to go. I agree, a high ball in windy conditions is hard to catch, just ask Mathers. It was just that windy it could have neded up anywhere.
