Can we beat this bunch of also-rans? I hope so.
Spirited opening , nice goal SOJ kept his composure and howled when Hogan at the other end couldnt
Cas down to the rooms. Knee ?
Looked liked a rolled ankle PaulP Fox saying doc getting pain killing injection hope he is back
Hogan either very rusty or very nervous - misses a sitter. If that was Cas.................

Thanks Rob
Great grab Charlie & goal
Levi back on the bench should be back on
Garlett pays us back, misses a sitter. Levi back on strap on knee as well
I wish those idiots would stop patronizing Liam Jones !
Very open game both sides getting ball into their respective 50's.
That has to be one of our best opening quarters this year.
Melbourne are quite good and finding players by hand and are hitting players in traffic, but we seem to be really good and making sure that the receiving player doesn't have a lot on.
Really impressed so far, need to keep it up for 4 quarters, but zero complaints so far
I wish those idiots would stop patronizing Liam Jones !

Great to watch, open flowing game. Plenty in our forward 50 but no conversion. Cripps cops kick behind the knee trainers helping him off
Cripps injured calf ?
Kerro misses everything. Blah.
Is that Cripps done?
Sadly looks like an acl. Terrible terrible look
Gee you have to be impressed with Charlie , really looking to impact. Worried about Cripps trainers took him straight down to rooms
Who knows where he'll end up, but that Charlie has some serious ability - all the makings to be really elite.

Thankfully at the game so don't have to listen. Tothose idiots
Wright poster.
Very soft free kick against Sheehan, Charlie Curnow on fire.
Mass of fumbles by Kerridge leads to turnover & goal to Hogan from the square
No sign of Cripps
White coming off with looks like a knee
Mass of fumbles by Kerridge leads to turnover & goal to Hogan from the square
And again by Kerridge...
Gee are all these free kicks they're getting paid, there?
Kerridge goodness gracious me - two big mistakes two goals late in 2nd quarter - wtf. :(
Kerridge is a bit of a liability atm. I guess that's the price of our rebuild focussing on talls. When we start drafting a few mids, Kerridge will be on thin ice.
Kerridge better have a huge second half.
If we're two men down it will be very tough, especially with one being Cripps.
Gee are all these free kicks they're getting paid, there?
Nope
And then the umpires seem to miss some howlers against us
And again by Kerridge...
I hate potting players but kerridge is a dud. Cost us two late goals with dumb turnovers.
I panic everytime he touches it.
And once he's confidence is down, get ready for more.......
Kerridge is the reason we are not going in 3-4 goals up, killed all momentum twice and saw it both time turn into a goal. Ridiculous.
Angriest I have been at a player all year.
Going to be extremely hard if we are down to 2 on the bench to stop Melbourne's run
Kerridge is getting it a lot but disposal has been a bit of a horror show late. Come on mate, pull it together!
Free kicks are really giving me the craps here at the game - seems like they are getting a lot centre and their F50 and we get none? Hopefully we start getting the rub this half.
Any word on Cripps? He didn't look good, looked like he knew something very bad had happened
Kerridge might be copping flack for some bad decision and execution but the lack of discipline in our team is seeing many frees called against us and they have also stopped paying us the ones that are there because we want to hit Jordan Lewis???
Cmon this is very undisciplined stupid stuff.
It's costing us more than kerridge has.
I like the backbone but this is petty.
Meanwhile we will run this out better than them. They are rubbish.
Reading all the player tracker stuff on the AFL App. Kerridge has run 9.1km, Plowman 8.5, Murphy 8.5 and SPS 7.4. The who side has run 145.2km. Simmo has been our quickest at 32.4 kph, followed by Daisy at 31. Daisy leads our sprint efforts with 12 followed by Plowman with 11.Our average speed in attack is 7.9kph (Kerridge 9.5) and defence 7.5 (Plowman 8.8, SPS 8.8, Sheenan 8.6).
For all that i'm tipping Kerridge leads the howler count too. Cost us a good lead.
Anyway, pleased we are giving another good side a horrible time trying to beat us. We must be an awful side to have to play.
White and cripps out will stretch us to no end.
Kerridge had been ok until the first circus piece, hopefully he can compose himself and come out full of fire after 1/2 time.
Only listening via the app, whats the go with the Cripps injury?
Weitering's last shove in the back was as bad as anything Kerridge did... we had 3 on 1 anyway.
Plenty of other stupid stuff from our blokes.... all across the park.

does the app say how much time on the ground for those results?
Cripps out for the game & White also
Cripps and White done for the day

Dissappointing to hear, BB made a point of stating in his presser that we must be disciplined.
Mass of fumbles by Kerridge leads to turnover & goal to Hogan from the square
Kerridge had a couple of costly howlers. Looks to have undermined his confidence. He needs to reset and get back to playing his strengths. Gee Simo overcooked one too, which hurt us.
Murphy unlucky not to have 2frees!
Gibbs showing class. SOJ smart and intense defensively.
Samo is a pressure machine. Hope he gets some reward for effort soon.
Charlie - another half like this and we must have our 5th RS in the bag. He's settling into his own style and starting to look composed - wow.
Weiters, Doc, Jones, and Plowman all going OK. Haven't noticed McCreadie with it too much.
Hope Crippa and White don't have serious injuries. This will be very tough if they do. Opportunity for Cunners to shine.
Sh&t. Just heard they're BOTH out
Cripps & White both done for the day 2 down
Only listening via the app, whats the go with the Cripps injury?
As soon as I seen it I thought it was a break and I think that is what it will end up being
Had Andy McKay on Fox re injuries Cripps staying at the ground so maybe not as bad as we thought , maybe bruising . If it was a break or similar would have thoughts they would have picked that up . go Blues big second half

No unfortunately.
It only gives the leading players too. Want to see them all to see if there's any bludgers..lol.
So impressed with Levi's one grab marking today. Bugger poster
Cripps on crutches on the bench not looking great
Robbed off a shot at goal from SOJ mark ruled touch very odd
Captains goal from Murphy great from the angle
SPS shouldn't be playing 1s.
SPS shouldn't be playing 1s.
sounds like it, 3AW commentators say he hasn't contributed much.
Bit under manned but hanging on
Sounds like Melb are making slightly more of their forays fwd.
Weitering having a shocker/
They are, we have been the better team the last 5-8 minutes and they have gone forward and goaled, we should have had 3 in that time
We've done well to stay this close, it will come down to who wants it more.
I fancy our chances.
hopefully this quarter they'll be told to kick the ball more than 15m.
Our blunders have been many today. Probably cost us 6 goals.
Time for the leaders to lead. Murphy, Gibbs, Thomas, Simmo, Docherty, Kruze. Can't be the kids, has to be the leaders.
Weitering having a shocker/
Has been well below last years form. Combination of teams putting more time into him and playing him fwd and back (which I am not a fan of). Should have started the year in defence and leav him there. Worry about teaching him the swing man role when he has played 100 games.
3rd Quarter horror stat
Carlton scored 2.3.(15) from nine shots at goal.
We've done well to stay this close, it will come down to who wants it more.
I fancy our chances.
not with 2 men down
Not sure why the knock on weitering, has done some good things today, look far more assured. Got burned in a few onenonnines but that will happen
GOLD !!!
SPS makes his mark GOAL
SPS has kicked a cracker
Not sure why the knock on weitering, has done some good things today, look far more assured. Got burned in a few onenonnines but that will happen
lol
Fisher creates turnover ends with Murphy goal
C'mon, another 2 and this will be hard to lose
Saw a replay of the Cripps kick in the leg, not pretty. Looks bad.
The little poacher scores a typical Jeffy goal.
Please.... not another lose after hitting the lead in the last.
C'mon blues, get up!!
Fatigue really kicking in now
How do we get another 5 yrs out of Simo? Wish there was a way great game today
Ok time to see who has the ticker
Geez it is a cruel bloody game
that was too easy for them
Geez it is a cruel bloody game
Yeah but we love it
Missed chance at a tackle was our last chance
Tough one but valiant effort 2 players down great game
I tell you, we shot ourselves in the foot
Missed opportunities and undisciplined free kicks is what made the difference.
Fought it right out. Not too bad a result.
They're in the top 8, we are in the bottom four.
Still a bit over a season to go in the so-called rebuild.
We aren't doing too bad.
