We kicked 4 goals in the second half to 7 of Collingwoods who were goalless at half time. Considering the gulf in class a very dissapointing end to the game. 

But we had more shots on goal in the 2nd half... just couldn't hit the side of a barn! The only time they got a hold of us was late in the 3rd when they kicked 3 unanswered goals.

Plenty of positives to take out of that win. Plenty of blokes putting their hands up for senior selection. Acres, Hewett, Lord and Young chief among them. I also liked Billy Wilson's game and that Flynn Riley is worth having a good look at, some potential there.

George Hewett: 29 possessions, 9 clearances, 9 tackles.
Cooper Lord: 31 possessions, 5 clearances, 11 tackles.
Blake Acres: 31 possessions, 2 clearances, 2 tackles.

I would promote all three plus Flynn Young - there will be plenty of options for omission.

Absolutely.

Lucas went off injured before 1/2 time, I don't recall him returning.

He copped a massive hit to the body that had him throwing up at one stage.
He came off walking hunched up, like a rib injury.

I think he did come back on late

He definitely returned. They played well just inaccurate infront of goal. Ben had 0.4.

We limp over the line, that game was there to win by 15 goals, we never for it anymore.

We manage, went don't dominate!
Right now Ill take any farken win anywhere anyway. Small steps LP.

Start of the 3rd.   3 very shots at goal that should be converted.   Cerra, Kemp and McKay.    Think Kemp was 30 out slight angle.

Kick those and we are 30 odd points up.   Ball goes down the other end and Elliott goals.

Walsh did similar in the Melbourne game.   Missed a sitter and Langdon goals.

We haven't been able for over 2-3 years been able to stop of slow the momentum and concede 3-5 goals quickly.   
That happens so often, and often in the 3rd qtr that we attack, kick point after point, then the other goes forward once, kicks a goal and we seems to drop our heads, allowing a flow of goals.
Was it the Melb game start of the 3rd Fog hits the post or missus from directly in front? It often the start of the collapse.

[1] Lucas C has a quiet one: 13 possessions, 6 tackles and 1 point.

Lucas was playing a different role, with Chesser and Acres on the wings for most of the night.

Harry Charleson: 23 disposals
Billy Wilson: 21 disposals
