Here we go. We're switched on.
Some classy passages of play so far...
Daisy has cost 2 goals thus far.
WHAT A MARK LEVI!!
Been good so far.
Doesn't look like there's much interest here tonight. Just a few of us logged on.
I want us to win just to rub it in to James Brayshaw. met him once. that was enough.
Look up the definition of a know it all smart anus in the dictionary, and his name is there.
Robbo turns at the last moment to protect himself and delivers an old style hip & shoulder and the commentators are now working out how long he will get suspended for.
harvey will kick the goal from a terrible passage of play by us. Three blokes went up to try and punch that ball, away. Ridiculous.

Nup, they worked out it was a good hip and shoulder. Which it was.
Good to see a few more of the regulars posting.
I'd stand Mitch next to boomer and the next sly one he gives out....
Rowe is doing an excellent job.
Daisy has put his brain in gear and start playing football. Not switched on.
Pleased to see White go in for Robbo... White looks out of his depth but he's having a go.
I'm over getting beaten up by sides like this mob. We owe this mob big time.
I wonder which quarter this week we go out for a cup of tea? ::) ::) ::)
I liked Wood's first quarter. Decent enough crowd here.
Wood is getting beaten in the centre but Warnock should be very, very worried.
HMMMM you might be right Sheik.
Wankerry said he might do time.
Welcome Cameron Wood!!!!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
3 marks and a goal to Wood, good start
Warnock is gawn!
Holy crap.
Wood has taken more marks than Warnock all year.
Bye Robbie.
Wood is getting beaten in the centre but Warnock should be very, very worried.
That's our boy!!!!
Gibbs is on tonight
Now we'll see what Graham is made of.

One more year Juddy!!!!!
Now we'll see what Graham is made of.
No excuses for him now, he has 3/4 of a game to have an impact.
Maybe I have missed it when I have been typing, but I can't recall Channel 7 showing Mick in the box once tonight

He's been on the big screen. He was twitching a little, but keeping a lid on it :P
There he is!!! ;D ;D ;D
Waite playing out of his skin!
When you look at Waite tonight, you realise, at least I do, that he's been a wasted talent at our club.
Yes, I know he's carried injuries and been injured, but for every game that he's played like he's playing tonight, he's played one exactly the opposite.
Waite wood and Judd making Mick look a bit foolish
That was terrible defence by White. He anticipated what was going to happen, and still fkd up. Lucky no goal
Rowe been very good tonight so far.
Sh!!!!t, did I really say that?? ;D ;D
Another Crap free given by the umps. >:( >:( >:( >:(
Waite wood and Judd making Mick look a bit foolish
I think MM would be happy to accept that.
Mathews talking cr@p again. Become a goody two shoes in his old age.
Welcome Nick Graham!!!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOHHH YEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAHHH NICK GRAHAM YOU STAR!!
Billy Graham the Evangelist you beauty!! ;D ;D ;D ;D :D :D
Geez that felt good.
GRAHAM!! Shepherded the biggest guy out there, kept his feet, handball receive, GOAL!
That's one of Rowes problems, won't mark in those situations. Always goes for the punch.
Aside from the fact that we are leading a top 8 team, we are a man down. So that's a huge test for us.
I'd pay money to have one of them to knock out Lindsay Thomas. >:D >:D >:D >:D >:D >:D >:D >:D >:D
All we need now is to have Menzel cut loose in the second half.
NO JUNK TIME GOALS PLEASE!!!!!!
WE are the best team at it by far >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(

Every quarter mate. Every bloody one.
Sellers, kept the record, we have given up 4 goals in time on tonight. Story of our season.
More red time goals , that's so frustrating
White makes some critical, critical errors... very bad red time goal.
Gibbs second quarter was freakin' massive.
Menzel and Daisy need to do a lot more. Menzel laying tackles but Daisy not involved and needs to stop being a passenger.
Awesome first half by Rowe...
All we need now is to have Menzel cut loose in the second half.
Agree, him and the Cas.
Wood isn't a great ruckman but he sure as hell is giving us more than Warnock normally would be. I'm happy to persist with him from now till the end of the season.

Agree with every bit of that. Rowe has become a real player.
Murphy played some very silky plays that quarter. Impressive and how a captain should conduct himself.
Rowe BOG so far for me. Gibbs very close too.

Ditto. Although he's been creaming them in the twos, still needs to find the tempo of the big league again. We actually look like we're getting a contest.
First to the ball wins the free... so lets be first in. Tackling pressure excellent and FMD, some have been rewarded (I have to rewind the box to make sure I wasn't seeing things).
Rowe goes safety first and punches unless he is sure he can mark. I have no dramas with that. White needs to play percentages more - needed to hold that ball or smash it away. Dropped it... instant late goal and momentum to norf.
Thomas gets a soft free every time he goes near it but FFS Touhy, tighten up on him close to goal. Position yourself correctly!. Get goal side of him.
Need to shorten the leash on Boomer as well. No ball hunting Ed.
Keep it up Sam.. respect. That free was because norf were dropping too far behind.
So refreshing to see a ruckman doing all the basic things like creating space by putting his body in, filling holes, running to take marks aroudn the ground and give an option, the odd big grab up forward...
I will be ropable if we decide to back off the effort now. We have this mob if we're serious... now to drive a stake through them and finish 'em off.

I'd be happier if he wasn't getting done 2:1 in the ruck taps.
Fingers crossed that our 'go missing' qtr doesn't happen this week.

At least that is better than Warnock's 12:1 ratio.
Sorry Prof, don't agree with you on Rowe and his safety first punching.
He does it at least 70% of the trime when he could have easily marked it.
He needs to be told to back himself.
He has 6 weeks to really give it everything. I'd love to win tonight to stuff Brayshaw, but I also want to see Rowe taking the game on and marking when he is in a position to do so, as he was on that occasion. If he drops the mark or stuffs up, so be it. They got a goal by him punching, so they may get a goal if he stuffs up the mark.
But if he DOES mark it, what a difference. And the thing is, he CAN take a good grab.
Fingers crossed that our 'go missing' qtr doesn't happen this week.
MUST be the half time focus. This is where the leaders stand up.
I haven't posted for quite a few years since moving back to Melbourne and watching the baggers,,I was harping against Cappuanos ruck coaching for years even 5 years back….why do Kreuzer and Warnock always stare at the oppo ruck man before the bounce and not the ball>>>>>Cam Wood has shown so much more eyes on the ball at the bounce every time than everything we've seen in the past 5-6 years,,,what an improvement
Their accuracy is keeping them in it (per courtesy of a few @#&%# umpiring decisions.)
Need to do even better this quarter. They will be expecting a poor 3rd quarter from us.
Gibbs is worth every cent.
Wood is no star but he does the basics well, gives a contest, uses his body to make space, and gives us something around the ground. He's the no.1 for now until Kreuzer returns. He also can take the odd mark in front of goal then kick it well.
Warnock gives nothing around the ground, but being so tall he wins a huge percentage of taps, which can actually disadvantage often us as it makes ruck contests too predictable. Opposition rove to him. Makes him little value right now.
Looks like the Chamomile tea has been served. Hope not, but looks like it.
We're due for our lapse. Hopefully we're still in front when it when it's over.
Not enough mongrel in Casboult. Shouldn't let himself be shoved aside like he was.
Leaders required!
Weak effort to tackle from Bell, but all started because Robbo can't hit a trget when he handballs, and that's not the first time this year that it's happened.
They must give the boys warm milk and a bedtime story during the half time break!!

Chammomile tea, mate. It works for me ::) ::)

Haha. My age still begins with a 1, so warm milk is a little more relatable. But yes, Chamomile tea is great!
Haven't posted coz I'm speechless. :-\ :-\
Murph getting A LOT of space tonight. Juddy gone quiet
Can't stand that diving cheat Thomas. >:( >:( >:( But it was a good mark.
Thanks Davey >:( >:(
Ellard... thanks mate but she's over.
2 awful kicks inside 50, missed a gettable shot now run down. Not good enough.

Loves the club etc etc BUT you don't win flags with blokes like Ellard,
We had games like this early in the year when shots for goal let us down.
Ho Hum, here we go again.
Leigh Mathews loves a bet. He's backed North.
Thanks Robbo, just stand there and say, here you are mate, you mark it. Fwit
It's all starting to turn to SH1T now >:(
1 . 5. To 4 straight this quarter!!
Robinson just showed why he is such a liability - his brain doesn't work !!
Fancy not trying to spoil 20m out from goal and against a guy his size, he marked completely uncontested.
He is not part of the future !!!
Bruce is barracking real hard now...pfffttt
FK ME
And there's Curnow's Achilles Heel, woeful kick of the ball. Set shot from 35m and near missed everything with a tumbling helicopter punt.
Can we hang on?
That is unbelievable that no one told him to have the shot. Waite is a shocking pass at the best of times.
Win lose or draw, that quarter showed why we are where we are.
The guy on the siren can go and get stuffed...imho
Why do all our big blokes run out of gas... is it because we can't rotate them out or something?
Straight kicking and we'd be 7 goals up.
Daisy Thomas = $700 000 dud.
Here come a "noble" defeat. F THAT.
If we were 100% serious we'd cream this mob of deadest pretenders.
I'm not going to state the obvious that we are 6-8 quality players short of being a top side. B
But taking into account the material that we have to work with, three things have killed us all year.
The first, is we can't kick straight. The second, we go to sleep at least one quarter a game. and the third, we give up too many goals in junk time.
It's why there should be a countdown clock on the scoreboard...fkkkkk!
David Ellard OMG why do we keep picking this spastic? too slow and he takes advantage kick from Gibbs free straight to Norf….run down free against…useless stop picking this dud
Ch 7 do the major suck act by showing a warm and fuzzy photo.
Graham on Zeibell, big mismatch
We had more scoring shots in the 3rd qtr but outscored 4.0-1.6.

I think we are a couple more than that but the sentiment is right.
Why is it when they have a whole body to tackle they tackle around the neck. Levi ordinary tonight.

Now Murphy on Zeibell better match up
Leigh's getting desperate. Not a big punter has $50 each way. Used to bet at the races with my old man who was a bookie, but doesn't like to lose.
Is Daisy alive or pushing up Daisy's??
BIG GOAL GIBBS!!!
Gibbs !!!
Breathing space .................
GIBBBBSSS!!!!

Then again....so are Norf! ;)
Now who among you wanted to trade Gibbs?
Oh that's right, I was one :-[ :-[
THIS IS HUGE !!!
YESSSASSSSSSSSSSSSS
Hendo ................... and we are now in the box seat !!
Now, without getting too carried away, twice we have been 16 points in front at this part of the last quarter and stuffed it.
Now who among you wanted to trade Gibbs?
Oh that's right, I was one :-[ :-[
I still am .......... !!!! ;)
Wood got the hit twice to advantage in the last two centre bounces.
McLean' s been our best player......going out pre-game for Waite!
How good has Waite been!!!!
Can we lose from here ??
They need 5 goals in 7-mins, surely this one is over now.

The fat lady is gargling
I haven't seen them win all year. This looks the goods!!!
Sometimes Yarran tries to be too cute
I can smell a North goal, we are stuffing around again!!
Lucky.
Good to see Jamo running up there giving it to Daw!
Notice how we haven't heard a peep from Leigh mathews the last 5 minutes? As I said, hates to lose and it was obvious that hew had backed north.
Dah Dah Dah Dah Dah.... ;D
We might see the full potential of Cam Wood.
Been outstanding!
Hendo has 6!
One for the true believers.
Can someone please tell the fat lady to pipe down :-* :-* :-*
We might see the full potential of Cam Wood.
Been outstanding!
Nice to have a Ruckman contributing around the ground...look and learn 206 ;)

Well said. Nick Graham also been fantastic. Time for a full game.
High draft picks are good...... But winning is better!
Cam wood - what a revelation!
