15:20 start. Wonder what the crowd will be like?
I don't want to crucify a player who cops more than his share, but Dow is costing us a bit at the moment.
Dow has cost us 2 goals
And pit the other 2!!
As dopey as they come that bloke
Said pre game Marshall is the danger and he is slaughtering us around the ground.
Pressure and clean handling is not there at the moment.
This is shaping a bit like the St Kilda game earlier in the year.
Need to lift.
Docherty has stick closer to Crouch.
Being slaughtered in the ruck too...
If I ever hear Marchy is good replacement in defence again Ill spew up.

Can’t kick, too small and too slow. Tries hard tho
Our confidence is dwindling by the minute
Tigers smalls have 3 already.
They will steal this game if we can't contain them
This game could be over at 1/2 time
Marchbank is way too slow for senior footy...
Saints want it more.
Saints want it more.
Lyon wants it more!
7 - 1 free kicks. What are we doing wrong?
Did say pre game Lyon will not allow us to play our style and we need to be aware of it.
He is the master of shutting teams down and turning it ugly.
The better teams find a way it’s a good test for this group.
Lyon wants it more!
All his venom will be poured into this game (hi to sos). Nothing better than halting any chance we might have for the 8.
Good kick to Jesse by Paddy
Marchbank is way too slow for senior footy...
Agree
45 - 29 tackles. Need to bring the pressure like previous weeks
Dow can find the footy no doubt but erratic and loose disposal is not at the standard
Silly mistakes and poor disposal will cost us this game.
Doubled our score :o
Sheesh Ollie Hollands got away with one there!
Lyon was always going to do this to us. if we can’t find a way won’t make finals and probably still not ready.
Doubled our score :o
What have we got?
Need to kick more goals in 2nd half, unanswered, to even get look in.
Don't like our chances from here. Loathe the idea of this scummy mob sticking it to us.

Yep
Finals pressure will be another level above this.
Question will be in the second half, can St Kilda maintain that pressure?
Making this game look like hard work. Not sure enough hard work is taking place yet. Half a game to turn things around if we are prepared to do the work that is needed. These mongrels find a way of getting the better of us. Something has to change soon.

Just too many injuries to our star players.
Still in the game but need more output from our onball group so we can get some quick connect to Charlie and crew up forward.
Id like to get Ed into the game and shut down Crouch and get some lift from TDK and Pittonet who have struggled with Marshall.
Game is shot I reckon but I would sub Pitto for Ed and let TDK go head to head with Marshall.
Hewett seemed to go quiet after a positive start.
I am seeing why Dow doesn't get a game, presented with the opportunity as a starting Mid and he has shown he isn't up to it, makes too many errors.
I think that's where the game is being lost, in the midfield, Cripps back to his heroics role instead of team orientated.
We are doing everything we haven't been in the last. 6 weeks.
Have to sub Pit. Playing a man down
Have to sub Pit. Playing a man down
Worst game I have seen him play for us
Their defenders making our fwds look second rate.
Need to make the most of our good clearance work... somehow
Well done Mowies 👏🏼
1 more goal q3 and we'll have a chance
Ffs the injury curse will get us even if this mob doesn’t
Missed a couple of potential opportunities just not being composed to get another score on the board. Not confident we will get over the line in the last quarter. Close but need to get in front.
I know I’m stating the obvious but how big is this last 30mins.
I said we will need to win ugly and that’s exactly the way we will need to get this done.
Motlop owies and fog need to have massive quarters.
And get pit off and bring ed on
Marchbank ...... free to a good home.
Cmon Blues. Get it done
DOW JFC 😂😂😂 worst kick in the team can’t believe he kicked it
Please 1 more unanswered 🙏
Blacres stick it up the old mob 😝
Love the feeling of a sphincter freeing up.....hahaha.
🥳🥳🥳
Up Toss Lyon
Started with Paddy Dow...so I'll finish with him and give him a pat on the back for fighting back into the game.
Its a good win vs motivated opposition, actually a bit more satisfying than last week given the effort to get back in the game and beat a nemisis like Stkilda who were all over us early in the game.
1 - 7 goals in the second half 🙌
Love that

As many have said, this game more important than the last

I started watching late in the third and I didn't see anything to get angry about, he was pretty good actually.
So proud of the boys. Massive hearts, massive effort. 23 shots to 14. Wonderful win. Nice to see Dow getting kudos for a good game.

That when we were coming good. Obviously you get the credit...haha.
One of the best.
Not because of the come back
Not because of the players out
But because the system is tested and proven
Showed we missed Harry today otherwise they would have copped a bath.
So proud of Dow and Fish today
Finish up in here and move to the Post Match thread.
