I'll probably miss the start of the game tomorrow. It will be my wife's birthday.
Shout for me, those lucky enough to be present.
Swans did their job. Up to us now. 8 point game. Win leaves us only out on percentage, a loss probably finishes us. Hope the 4 day break doesn't leave us flat.
Bloody White Jumpers !!!!!
Let's pray this is a turning point game. Has to happen sooner or later. Doesn't it?
Great start!
GWS - on.
Murphy already 2 short steps and a kick and hope out of defense to an opponent.
We have to weather this storm.
Dow, smart.
how many tackles have we missed so far???
Good first qtr!
Pretty good considering Cripps 1 touch, SPS 2 touches,,,,,,,
Copped a barrage but they couldn't kick straight. Hopefully we can turn it up this quarter.
Eddie not looking like someone who should retire!
Defense under huge pressure... thank the gods for their inaccuracy. Midfield have got to stop their easy i50 entries.
Going to have to be smarter in the 2nd to keep and build on this advantage.
That was an exciting qtr. Goaless, point kicking fest...lol.
Don't care how, we just need to continue being in front. Scoreless from here, or 10 goals each. Either way. As long as we get the 4 points
McKay has a beautiful set of hands
Just cant kick it at this point in time!
Pittonet is showing why he was chosen over TDK, matching Mumford for strength, not intimidated and is winning his hitout. Ditto with Casboult, they are both working him over. Mummy will be knackered by the last quarter.
Casboult doing well against mummy. Much stronger
Is SPS playing? I must look out for him.
He ain't alone. McGovern and Murphy both gettable. I just really hope we don't cr@p our pants and just continue to work hard for 2 more quarters
Yep, Mummy can't move him him off his spot!
Not sure what to make of all this...
So many of our players seemed to have been nowhere near the ball possession wise.
Cripps is struggling.
Yet we're staying ahead....their inaccuracy is helping.
Come on Blues - a Lot less effort required if you kick straight!
Also can Richo stfu? I didn’t used to mind him but he’s full of it, Another bloated windbag
Cripps is being used basically to occupy a good opposition player. He can’t bend down, has no acceleration and no confidence in his body.
Deboer is on him as usual.
These sides are off 5 and 4 days breaks so it could well be a crappy slog. Case of whoever's standing at the end.
Cripps body is cooked this year so happy for them to waste De Boer on him.
Weren’t we 2 goals up at halftme last week.
Just need a couple of our invisibles to appear.,
Willo doing another bang on impression of Bower then. ::)
Why do we make things so hard for ourselves? Can't we just do it with comfort for a change?
Great rundown tackle from Newnes.
Our worst quarter was the first quarter when we kicked all of our goals against the tide.
Jeezus Krud are you serious? He's been one of our best. WTF?
I was talking about the moment when Liam Jones was shepharding his opponent back so Willo could pick up the ball.
For some reason, he decided to leave it to Jones and try and shephard the opponent that was already being shepharded. Why?
You have a free run at the ball....PICK IT UP!!!
8 %$^$#! straight behinds.
Do i need to say it again? Bower moment??
Kicking it into the man on the mark FFS.
Thank f*ck for Murphy
Designed play for the easy goal to Murphy :)
Last 4 1/2 last halves..........8.31!!!
At Least we kicked a goal that qtr! Was getting that sick feeling in my gut, after last week, that we were going to have a goalless half again
1 percent behind GWS now.
Still plenty of guys who have been very quiet. Hoping for a big last quarter. C'mon baggers!
1.2% behind the dogs.
From here...
We both play adelaide.
We play Sydney and Lions.
GWS play Saints and Dees.
We want saints to beat them and them to beat the dees.
We need to beat Crows and Swans.
We're crapping ourselves
Cripps is a passenger really compared to usual. If we lose we should rest him and get him right for 2021.
Forget percentage now. FFS
forget the win we are terrible when the pressure comes on
Bundle dropped.😥
Gonski
Getting beat by Pagans paddock.
Heartless rubbish, what a joke. How will we ever shake this crap from our club
1.8 since the first quarter
They are just playing a Richmond game and smashing us
Bloody bed$hitters!!! Pissed finals down the drain because they keep $hitting the bed!
Dumb playing Cripps in one leg.
Kennedy was the obvious replacement
No surprises really. Same old, same old... mental softness when the real heat comes; when it's do or die... no resilience or fight from too many.
Well, the dream was nice while it lasted, we're a bit better, but no where near as good as we hoped - or should be... still bottom 6.
More questions answered, start the surgeries, rehabs and delistings.
we have no one thats capable of changing the game
Sad part is there’s still 5 mins to go and we are only 8 point behind yet everyone knows we are not a chance in hell to win from here.
Says a lot.
Careers ended tonight.
Time to put some if the older blokes out to pasture and give some kids a go.
Casboult has gone from hero to utter zero after one bad miss about 5 games ago. And he ain't the lone ranger.
Never seen a game with so many non contributors.
If you're not good enough so be it but when you lead twice at 3/4 time to make the finals and $hit the bed twice, nothing makes me more annoyed.
Mid table is where the Blues truely are at present and that is where we deserve to be. It's hard to hear but if we are honest this is what this team is capable of at present - they don't push up the ladder without more contributors.
1.9 after the first quarter does not win you games.
screw!
Season over....
Not good ... but badly familiar
Never seen a game with so many non contributors.

SO TRUE IT NEEDS REPEATING !
Gutted. We just pack our dacks everytime a bit of heat comes our way. Just hopeless. GWS are just not that good and we have made them look good as we have many times. Useless
'Moment of the game'
Willo waiting under the ball (instead of attacking it/going to get it) gets punched away, GWS kick a goal and take the lead.
Geezus Krud out of all the carp that was dished up tonight by so many players that was the moment?? No worries carry on.
Kruddler we get it you dont like Willo
In fact you're almost being, dare I say it, Spanner like? He should be on shortly by the way.
Over to the post game thread guys.
Betts, Simmo, Casboult for starters.
