I've got into the habit of naming the In Game thread 'Angst'. As much as anything, it is probably because that is how I feel until the siren goes and I get a flood of Dopamine through my brain (assuming that we win. :) :) ). I am never certain until the game is over and I always want the Blues to run out the 4 quarters.
It is worse when the game is Interstate and I can't get there and especially bad when the game is not on TV. At least this game is on TV in Victoria, even though it is an hour and a half behind. Not sure about next week: Channel 7 do things in strange ways.
Anyway, enjoy!
Curnow brothers. Looking good so far!!!
Yep nice mark & goal to Charlie
Nice to see the boys up and about, and nice to see a bit of Hawthorn-like opportunism with that 2nd goal.
But I wish they would stop selling their teammates into trouble with poor decisions.
Nice smother by Kruzer has had a few touches early ,
Very scrappy , closed up game not much free space. Lack of skills contributing to that
Krooz looks on today....
Nice grab & goal to Kruzer
Gibbs great first quarter!!

Maybe it's because we've played well, but I've found it rather absorbing thus far. Given the wind and small ground, I've seen much worse in Sydney.
Bloody Buddy.
Certainly some great flashes of positive team play, mixed in with some scrappy play. But seem to lost in defence at times, they seem to not know how to play Buddy atm

Yes agree - too many easy marks inside our D50.
Two bad errors cost goals...Buckley not hard or strong enough vs Josh Kenendy...goal
Cripps didnt produce a 2nd effort vs Buddy...goal...
Very good endeavour from the boys but skills let us down too often. Still I can see we are starting to move forward and signs are encouraging. Nice mark and goal from Charlie C.
Buddy is fantastic. :(

Cripps should have chased him a second time after missing the tackle ...stood there watching...
Apparently it's very windy down there, it's not just us fumbling at times Syd seem uncertain at times
Print on the board in big letters next training session " HOW TO PASS TO A PLAYER IN THE 50"
Ahh Kerridge you goose.
Curnow has had about 5 'almosts!' Very exciting.
Liking how Charlie is approaching his game, showing some flair not afraid to go for his marks . Nice snap Bluckley
Army certainly has created a spark since he has been back, added some life
Weitering very quiet.
Levi the same , not a kick btwn them
Is Grundy the 21st century version of the Tilt?
Ahh Kerridge you goose.
He makes too many errors for mine, just not damaging enough. We need someone better IMO.
Weitering very quiet.
Took a nice defensive mark towards the end of the 2Q, but agree that he's very quiet so far.
Ed Curnow is quickly moving from C grade to B grade and moving up. A great stopper who is now winning plenty of his own ball.
52 tackles at half time!
Puss needs to take first option and make his disposals count.
Gibbs, Cripps and Ed Curnow all having very good games, Kerridge and Graham busy but their foot skills leave a bit to be desired, Buckley much better this week.
We're some sort of chance but we need something from Casboult if we're going to win it.
Kreuzer and Phillips both playing well.
Rowe has to stop giving away easy frees.
Swans skills and pressure telling on us so far in this qtr. we need to hang in!
Hard to to keep up the early pressure , , going to be tough now, clean skills will be valuable now
Gees if we had a CHF we might have a sniff.
Steadiers from Jack 'n Levi!
Needed that from then have been missing all day
Good work Blues, great grit - we could have been put away in that qtr.
Still a sniff.
As a curiosity, we have had two kicks just before the siren sounded. Are they counted as efficient/effective disposals?
Certainly more fight of late, just lacking that class , and clean skill to finish of at times.can make it frustration to watch. Hard to get the reward for effort at times
Good work Blues, great grit - we could have been put away in that qtr.
Yep, our lack of skills hurts us but we don't lack endeavour, win, lose or draw we have a crack.
Any word on Charlie?
Craps me no end when the likes of Alliir and Grundy take uncontested marks in defence.
Charlie gone for day with a knee.
Ta Prof E , any idea what the damage is , hope our tall curse stays away
Currnow has certainly added to his game in the last 12 months more complete player these days. Nice goal
Talkin' of Curnow - here comes Ed. :)
Just when Levi has a chance to make his mark, again he disappoints
Currnow has certainly added to his game in the last 12 months more complete player these days. Nice goal
I never thought I'd say this, but I wish we had more than one Ed C.
Ta Prof E , any idea what the damage is , hope our tall curse stays away
No idea at the moment, but it was the result of "friendly fire" from Casboult.
Just saw him knee iced up, hope not serious
I never thought I'd say this, but I wish we had more than one Ed C.
One of the first picked I would think these days. Great story, pure grit, added more skill set along the way
Wright goal would have made it interesting
can somebody please show a bit of composure! 11 inside 50s for one goal! This game is ours for the taking but we don't seem to be able to get it done. C'mon Blues!!
Spot on, lack of class when it counts , no real go to person
Another goddam honorable loss. I hate them.
Sh1te!!!! Great effort boys, sheer guts and determination. Just need that extra class and we're on the way.
What's the score?
Lost by 6 , great effort
How did we manage to not win that one. We had the Swans on the ropes for the last 20 minutes and managed one goal. Nobody with presence.
Oh and Casboult... see ya later!
Should have been a free in front to Philips a few mins out as well
