All ready for Saturday night, assuming no more Covid-Questions.
Nice to see Philp to debut, even better to see another jack martin sized type, players who have got a bit of height and pace.
Mates are telling me this kid at the contest reminds them of Hunter, I assume that comes form his last TAC season as they wouldn't have seen him recently.
Ready, set. go!
OK start, but the free hurt.

And again. Two easy goals to the Drug Cheats.
We lead it at quarter time, but it could have been better.
Philps has made a few fumbles, but he has got the ball.
Gibbo and Walsh big early.
So youre allowed to nudge players in the back and under the ball now?

Just depends on who you play for. A few in the back frees would make a difference.
wtf how do these freakin’ cheats keep getting away with it? Snipers every one of them. Silvagni? This is where we need a red card system. Stop the play, take the offending player from the field. Grow some balls AFL and stand up to the team that continually besmirched the good name of the competition.
So Tippinwuti can just cannon into the back of Casboult with no eyes for the ball at all and it’s play on?!? FMD I hate these dirty f*cking cheatin’ bastards
Setterfield 6 disposals, Cunningham 8. That’s what we were looking for.
Fwd line is a worry.

Why do the callers say there was nothing in it? Was he trying to tackle with a clenched fist?
Plowman is a joke.
Townsend pushes Plowman in the back.
Brayshaw: just a good contest.
Fwd line is a worry.
Let me rephrase that, fwd is a shambles...again.
McKay is a big loss.
2 chances 2 misses.
Nobody leading.
Losing Harry meant Jack was playing as a tall.
Casboult tranferring to the ruck and Jack being off injured, meant we were playing with 1 'tall' in mcgovern. Pretty easy to defend a FWD line that has 1 tall in it.
We'll rejig and Teague will get it sorted, but it'll take us a bit of time to get that right.
If it was me.....Cripps resting fwd, and give setters some more midfield time....which it looks like he's getting a bit more anyway.
...and then we have mcgovern playing the small FWD role with the crumb and snap.
Great call by Plowman to leave his man and provide a big smother. Had he have missed, that was a goal to the bombers.
Most people won't give him credit for that though.
this has to be Cunningham's/ Mcgovern's best game in the navy blue

Cunners has been excellent. McGovern has been near the ball. 8 points up should be more.
There is a team spirit on display. Very promising. And Levi is worth a hell of a lot more than steak knives.
this has to be Cunningham's/ Mcgovern's best game in the navy blue
Cunningham has 19 disposals to half time.
Most at the bombers is 12 from Merrett (stand in captain!)
Cunners only needs 4 more to equal his PB, 5 to beat it (24)
2nd to Docherty (17 touches - 2 kick more than Cunners) in meters gained thus far 367 - 326.
Dominating.

Cunningham is going really well.

On the left, as was his bullet into Gibbons.
McGovern and Cunners have stepped up. Best half I've seen from Cunningham.
Ed doing what he does best. Keeping Sheil quite so far. Doc and the 2 big boys are super down back.
Gee we've had some fumbles though from unlikely sorts. Crippa and Jack come to mind.
Tidy a few things up and we're in with a chance. I'd love to see Philpy get a goal. Hope he got some confidence from his efforts that finished in a goal.
Go Blues
Doc has been the one for mine. Cunners and Gov very good, need more of the same for qtrs 3 and 4. Dead Eye Levi is on song, 45m reverse ba-na-na, confidence is a wonderful thing.
We are one guy down. Silvagni in hospital having scans.

But there was nothing in it apparently, farken cretins.
Interesting the comparison of Tippa vs Betts splitscreen.
Shows Tippa has 2 tackles, Eddie with 0. Despite the highlights showing Eddie tackling an opponent. ::)
Whoever's on Tippa deserves a shout out 👏
We are one guy down. Silvagni in hospital having scans.
We've been playing 2 down with Philps unable to pick up the ball. Fumbled more times than he's had disposals.
....but the kid is trying.
We are one guy down. Silvagni in hospital having scans.
Cracked rib is my uneducated guess. Looked a bit short for breath I thought.
🤞 all the best to Jack

Tackles are really down. Need to improve there.
Best thing for me so far is that were not reliant on Cripps to carry the team, everyone is playing their part

🤞 all the best to Jack
Richo and Darcy reckon there was nothing in it.
Scrappy skills from both teams at times, but kind of entertaining as well.
Eddie's spatial sense, goal sense, and ability to just be in the right spot ahead of time is unparalleled. I can't think of a single player I've watched that does this as consistently as him.
Richo and Darcy reckon there was nothing in it.
Like me, they are uneducated. Difference is they get paid to guess at anything and everything 😉
Hope the boys bring the pressure this half.
Been the better team for the majority of this but can’t put it on the scoreboard.
Not taking our chances. They have 1 forward entry and get a goal.
Levi is very Stewie Lowe like.
And is it just me or does Cameron Ling look like Lucifer? >:D
were still making bad decision's going forward need a little composure
Gibbo misses his 2nd set shot, both very much gettable.
We gotta start putting the scoreboard pressure on the bombers. Letting them off the hook!
....and thats why gibbo needed to kick it.
2 goals up vs scores level. >:(

Lets hope that was our 1 BAD quarter for the game, a lot of pressure for no reward , we just need to get 5 % smarter in the front half
We've let them off the hook. All square and we should be 5 goals up.
Our mids have had leather poisoning, but we just can't finish.
Newnes should not be allowed to kick the ball.
Forward entry is opposite to last week.
Knew last week was too good to be true. Cats left a heap of space. This mob is not and we aren’t skilled enough to get thru.
Been the better team but they have made the most of the opportunities and we haven’t. Not confident
If Martin fired up it would help.
SPS and Jack Martin and Eddie: barely had a touch.
You dont win games playing goalless qtrs.

We kicked 0.5 that quarter.
Plus Levi had 2 shots on goal. One across the face to a pack (inadvertantly) and 1 out on the full 30 seconds later.
Could've had 7 goals, instead, we didn't even manage the equivalent of 1 goal.
Time for Captain Cripps to sound the whistle on the Teague Train.
All Aboard!
If Martin fired up it would help.
Hasnt got near it.
You dont win games playing goalless qtrs.
Did last week.
0.1 in the last.
Cheats going at 3/4 pace, will run over the top, when they get it outside, they show us up. Our fwd line is at its disfunctional best.
Plowman again. What a spud.
Hands up who is frustrated.
We best not piss another 4pts down the drain as we did 2 weeks ago.
Easy peasy, isolate Plowman, free kick everytime. Game over.
Plowman again. What a spud.
That happens 50 times a game and doesn't get called.
Unlucky. Weitering has done it at least 4 times alone.
Game over
Absolutely pathetic.
SPS twice this quarter has shirked the contest.
Did i mention the importance of that Gibbons shot?!
F***!
Positives.
Cunners and Cripps in the gets give us first use every time.
We just need to work out or forwardline a bit better and stop overusing the ball.
Teams only need to play one good qtr against us.
We shall see now if we have improved. Simple as that
did the reserves get a scratch match today?
Great smarts, vision and skills to get the ball and find Martin then.
Big kick and goal.
Its amazing what a couple of SKILLED players can do.
Murphy puts the body on the line to force a throw in.
Murphy gets the ball forward to Levi for another shot.
BANG!
Scores level
We've done well. Dragged them back. Taken the heat out of the contest.
If we kick the next goal, we win.
The governator!
Fell in his lap.
Make it count!
Important rushed behind.
Why was that 50?!
I can hear Eddie McGuires commentary now.
"Carlton are going to win by a point!"
'99 prelim all over again.
Dam I hate these close one's
🤯🥳🥳🥳
Ugly but I 'll take it!
It was great to win, but we should have won by 5 goals! The chances that we waste!
Worst 50 I can remember. Cannot even figure out why it was given...
Ugly but I 'll take it!
Yep, scrappy as.
Worst 50 I can remember. Cannot even figure out why it was given...
I half turned away from the TV as it happened and thought i missed something.
Then i saw the replay....and thought I (or the umpire) must've had a lobotomy.
Absolutely no idea what that was for......unless Eddie told the umpire to F*** off or something.....which i highly doubt.
