If you are seeing this one live or on pay TV, well done to you. I will be doing neither. I'll be anxious from the firs bounce to the last.
Car'n the Blues!

Just tossing up whether or not to get a Foxtel Now free two weeks trial? Anybody tried this?
Nice finish by Murphy.
Lamb lining up.
First 2 goals go our way. Samo and Charlie look good early.
Bolts on his feet in the box already
Bad luck Jack played on and coughed up a goal.
Fierce tackling Pickett Samo
Classy Gibbs goal from the boundary.
Ffs plowman mark given to WC.
Cripps kicks his 3rd
Pickett's flair.... Nearly but not quite. Looks good though, running hard.
We've had plenty more i50. Levi well matched by McKenzie
Well we're finally taking the game on a bit. Still some costly fumbles but it's good to see us attacking.
Shocking umpiring, again.
So far so good. ????
our delivery into the F50 is pitiful, high slow moon balls....ffs.
Ffs plowman mark given to WC.
Cripps kicks his 3rd
Yeah that was poor
So was Daisy not throwing the ball on his boot (and Pickett handballing to him instead of taking the shot himself).
We look okay at this stage, certainly putting a lot of pressure on, the key is going to be how we hold up into the wind.
We have to not go back into our shells, because a kick from the back of the square can create a scoring opportunity for West Coast if we are not putting pressure on them.
Must keep running and moving it quickly now.
Well tonight won't go down as a slow start. We're matching them. Mix up between Simo-Jones aside, looks like we've come to play at least.
Jk first touch, Jones sends him over the line.
My TV has been playing up and turning itself off.....refusing to turn back on. Been doing it all day.
Last time it turned off was at the start of the game. I think its trying to warn me.....but its behaving itself so far.
I feel another honourable loss in the making thus far.
Jones outclassed JK 1:1
Getting outclassed....
9 goals from only 17 inside 50's and its starting to look ugly.
We've had 25 inside 50's for 3 goals, and in our last 20 we've kicked one.
Who says you need forwards to win games of football??
No chance when Gibbs and MK miss set shots 45 out
When it rains it pours
well done Casboult, way to finish a poor quarter by playing on at the siren instead of having a shot.
Leading the i50's and marks I50. Most other stats are fairly even.
Not much you can do when your goal kicking sabotages everything else.
Just terrible q after coming out strong :-\
Cmon boys. Dig in.
Hey Dennis, have a go at kicking the pill. Take them by surprise. Worth a go.
Umpire McInerney....I cringe every time we get this flog....last 4 frees against....he is just a cheat????
Agree
well done Casboult, way to finish a poor quarter by playing on at the siren instead of having a shot.
Yep. An area yet to be mastered, the big moments
Another goalless quarter.... And another spoon. What a marvelous 2017.
Not too disappointed, we looked like getting blown away but if not for some poor conversion we'd only be 2 or 3 down.
A few of the kids have gone missing, along with a few of our older bit players, and Docherty has been uncharacteristically quiet, but the old firm of Murphy, Gibbs and Kreuzer are keeping us in it.
Jk first touch, Jones sends him over the line.
:-[ :-X
A team with actual forwards playing against a team with none - it's not even a contest.
We had about 15 inside 50's and couldn't kick a goal for the quarter. We just don't give ourselves any chance because we can't get enough shots on goal for our hard work and when we do we can't convert them anyway. Just demoralising.
Who was replaced late?
Yes, a grand total of 25 points for a half of footy. The Brisvegas boys kicked 142 today and have already overtaken us.
They are just utterly crap
With all the runners surely Casbolt Must've know. The siren was about to go?!
Very disappointing due mainly to inefficiency i50. Otherwise some OK play with a few (costly) lapses.
Plowman, Kerridge, and Pickett going OK along with MK, Murphy, Gibbs. Glimpses again from Samo, SOJ, and Charlie.
Cmon Blues. Take it up to the weazles..

Mine had the same problem. Turned out to be a stuffed power board.
The Brisvegas boys kicked 142 today and have already overtaken us.
In what way?
They are not higher on the ladder.
There was a lot to like that half, just the execution of that final ball in 50 and the shots on goal were terrible, but the ball movement and pressure were really good

Goalkicking mids + forwards v none of either. Apples oranges.
I hear one of the likely no. 1 picks is the former. That's a goalkicking mid, not an apple :))
Just want us to remain competitive.
Nice piece on Daisy during the break. That might be the green shoot ;)
Go Blues.

That might be higher come the end of the season.
They've overtaken us because they actually have a decent forward line, play to win, and can kick a winning score.
Wow got paid htb...
Beautiful shoot. End to end. Started with Jones backing himself v JK. Ends zacattack goal.
They have kicked more than us all year though, it hasn't helped at all.
They have kicked 330 points more than us before we played tonight, but then had 560 more points kicked against.
I don't care if they overtake us on the ladder btw, because I think we are cooked for the year, but I still think we are far better placed going into next year than Brisbane, even if we lose by 100 points tonight
Charlie having nice patch

Shhh...
Shuey runs 5m over mark and.... Nothing
Really MIO...?
Cmon Murphy need captains goal.
Good boy ^-^
I hope we keep Sav on next year to work with Jack as his kicking has got worse over the year.
Very very poor
Another exciting play from Pickett

Well, apart from today's match, they did actually beat us only recently.

We also beat GWS this year...
It has never worked that way Paul
SOJ has killed us tonight with turnovers and missed sitters????????
I spoke to soon....jags one back from 50
SOJ has killed us tonight with turnovers and missed sitters????????
Beautiful kick from 50m lol.
Blaine hasn't made a case to attract WC interest so far.
Finally SOJ has found the goals. Well done son

Yes we did, that's very true. And for both teams (GWS and us) that result was a statistical aberration.
Has the makings of us hitting the front in the last qtr and losing.
Another exciting play from Pickett
And another. Great goal son.
Blaine hasn't made a case to attract WC interest so far.

And again
It's good to know we're at least a prick of side to beat even if we don't win much.

Paul do I really need to go through and find out how many games are won by teams lower on the ladder?
C'mon it is clear as day the result of a single home and away game doesn't determine who is the better team.
1pt ball game ;D

Once again, that's quite true. It's not just about 1 game though.
Samo and Pickett showing off to their mob.... Keep it up boys
Should be a good last qtr. Two sides that often have leads in the last qtr and lose. Less pressure on us though.
Samo and Pickett showing off to their mob.... Keep it up boys
And so is Blaine. ;) beautiful goal, paid to back yourself son
Great tackle on Priddis by Samo. He's got a pair of clampers, the opposition are going to fear after a PS or two
Game there to be won.
Go Blues
Can't tell you how many times this season i have thought how we are only 4-5 goals down and come back to hit the front. We might not be good enough, but at least we don't give up
WC have 3 goal breeze - hopefully its at a 45 degree angle
Best quarter of football we've played this year, not pretty but fearless.
Weiters going OK on Darling
How can the ump call holding the ball, when not only was there no prior, but AFTER the balls spills free!?
Heart in mouth... Levi

1 word...McInerney
Heart in mouth... Levi
OMG Levi. Excellent goal in a big moment. Tick.
16 points down and nt looking good.
16 points down and nt looking good.
Not any more
Looks like another heart breaker. 9 points in it.
You have to admire the team's fighting qualities, and that never say die attitude.
Nice goal by Charlie. Only answered by JK >:D
Dig deep boys
OMG Levi. Excellent goal in a big moment. Tick.
And another.... Wow just wow
Big moment started BT silky Samo
Given how much trouble everyone has had kicking to that end all night....and given how 'well' casboult kicks the ball i think that goal was simply.
More ar3e than class.
But we'll take it.
@Cookie...
Not the power board, checked and changed that already.
Had Levi kicked straight last week......
Well, I wish I could see some of this!
Ffs Petrie around plowman neck and JK gets the mark >:D

Looked ugly for a while...but we fought back to fulfill my prediction.
We'll fall short, but excellent coaching and play from the boy's
Better than it looked like it was going to be and reasonably satisfied with that game
Indeed. WE just don't know how to win!
Better than it looked like it was going to be and reasonably satisfied with that game
agree.
7th time we've been in front/level in the last qtr and lost this year.

Already becoming a habit. Need to break it. I don't want this to keep happening next season.
If they're looking to play finals, we're simply not that far off.... Seriously. Had we kicked straight, as windy as it was, well.... Watch out when we've got some players on the park
To get in front from where we were says a lot. But not being able to finish it off says that we are not ready yet,
OK guys. Time for the post game thread. :(
