OK, I am making an unwarranted assumption, but we seem to have lost that vim and vigour that we showed during our winning stretch. Now it is a case of preparing for 2017.
Hope you can enjoy it. I'll be enjoying Endone to keep the pain down. :(
On fire at the moment :D
Sure are Lods , but one thing you notice , we are creating chances, even though we have kicked 4, should have easily added another 2 simple set shots from Casboult & Graham & also Kruzer the good sides convert those .
Graham really has disposal issues, does the hard job , wins the ball, and misses the target, creates turnover , and they are away.
Casboult is a disgrace today. Has no idea! Is embarrassing. Even Kenny E is having a crack!!
Game of two halves coming, you can feel it in the air!
Some great individual skills mixed in with some very ordinary efforts
It's the Gibbs and Cripps show!
intersting game, at times we had the same run & energy during the golden run earlier this year, then the lack of skills show up, turnovers and drags us back
Ed would be a bloody good player if he could just clean up his disposal.
Sad so say but the time for Daisy is near. Missed the option to hit Sumner for easy goal or kick it himself, saddly none of that happened. Long way from his best. The effort is there but the body is letting him down
Agree. I like Daisy, but we never should've recruited him.
EDIT : and I should add, his time is not near, his time is here.
Buckley off with a nasty head clash, apparently.
Creating the chances but again no reward. Wright should have done better than that
Great mark Jones in The conditions , now can he.......convert, yes we needed that some reward for all the effort.
4 goals up - stop the game now.
Thanks Dylan.
Yes good to see him kicking a few in the last few weeks,
Buckley has improved alot in the last few weeks. Becoming a valuable player.
might just save his career....the knock on him has been his endurance?
Can't run out 4 quarters.....
Philips is developing a great habit of rest up forward and coming in with a goal nice to see
Hogan having a game to forget.
Blues start well and continue showing enough. Need to sustain.
Go Blues
Good to see the defensive pressure being created by our players
Some Melb inaccuracy keeping us in the game , they have missed some sitters
Saved by Melbourne poor goal kicking
Weitres sensational mark
Currently winning the frees 20-4.
Gibbs and Crippa have been all class
Simmo what a legend , just keeps going & going , can we clone him?
Radio commentators talking about a flaw in Krooz's jumping for mark technique. Keeps jumping under the ball apparently.
Blues winning on back of clearances, kept Melbourne to scoring 4pt from clearances. Great win.
Nice mark big MK
Dare I dream, wins to Carlton & Leeds United in the same weekend? Very rare lol
Buckley, Jones, and Graham have held their own. Well done
Blues will do the deal for you ^-^
Don't waste your time listening to the dead weight on the radio, they continually hang it on Kreuzer but they'd want him on their on teams list in a heartbeat as a ruckmen!
What they are really upset about is that their tipping is forked for the weekend and they cannot spend all next week talking about tanking!
Kreuzer neutralised the AFLs two top ruckmen in recent weeks, and gets no credit for it!
Great win, real team effort in the second half on the back of an amazing effort from Cripps & Gibbs in the first half. Some nice cameo's from Buckley & jones
Given the Dees form recently, a fair enough victory.
My son's soccer team won their semi / prelim today, playing in the GF. From a sporting point of view, not a bad weekend.
