Where are Frankston at? I thought they might get beaten, but to go down by 100 points is a real worry.
Were there any positives for Dolphins?
You should have heard the blast Shannon Grant gave his boys at 1/2 time.
We could hear it upstairs in the social rooms - He really went to town on the f-bombs, but it didn't help their performance.
In fact I said during the 3rd term "Shannon Grant gave his players a bake, but all they've come up with is cupcakes".
No real positives at all for the Dolphins - felt Magner was their stand out player.
Pete.
To be a good coach at this level I think Shannon Grant a got a hell of a lot to learn.
You don't start with abusing the players and foul language.
Those days are well gone and players won't respond anyway.
Time to shape up or ship out.
I found it strange that there wasn't a huge Frankston crowd there...the atmosphere from the opposition hill was strangely amiss. Where were the usual Frankston crowd? They normally turn up pretty regularly.
Thought Cam Pedersen and Ed Curnow were really good. Ben Smithwick is turning himself into a handy sort too.
Justin Berry got 1 week for head butting according to Channel 10 news.
What a joke this tribunal is.
I know a guy that did the same thing outside a nightclub and was charged and fined $600 and now has a conviction, but it appears its ok to assault someone on the footy field.

What an absurd comment.
He has been given at least the same penalty as the "guy you know". Do you have any idea what a one week penalty will cost him? I doubt it.
Fortunately for him, and us, he is not bealting people outside nightclubs like your mates.

Maybe you can go back and read what i said. 'Iknow a guy' and that guy headbutted a friend of mine who was leaving a restaurant with his wife and children, so no mate of mine. He was of no fixed address so i presume he grew up in Frankston or a nearby shit hole.
I thought Justin Berry was very lucky to get just 1 week ..........
Almost an unbelievably bad performance from Frankston. They have been such a hard nut for Box Hill to crack over the years. Maybe those 2 huge efforts to get so close to Willy and Port took their toll?
I'll bet the Dolphins are glad to have the bye this week; they look like they need to regroup.

So your saying that you don't really know him after all.
Good story Claire.
