I will be at this week's game. I hope we turn up.
Boys are up and about early.
Keep this up and we are a chance.
Very early days... but... good to see Crippa doing the get-and-give.
Murphy's putting his head over the ball then working hard to get it forward... credit given where it is due.
Hope the early goal from McG lifts him.
Before anyone takes aim at 'cameo' cuningham. He was the one who set that up that shot at goal with smart thinking and good kicking.
Looking good early.
How much better does SPS look when played in position!!!!

Whats that.....bench?
The Captain is ‘playing angry’ today. Giving it to anyone in his area. McGovern one out of one (3 to go!!)
Amazing how much better we look with intensity and aggression. Pity SPS got injured. Like the new dimension to Cameo Cuningham's game who has been very instrument in our lead - now to keep it up, him... and the entire side.
Gibbons and Betts have to do more. Eduardo would have nailed one of the 3 opportunities he's had not so long ago.
The Murphy turnover inside our 50 was costly. Dumb skill error.
Really like the way Crippa is playing... selfless and bringing team mates into the game.
BrisVegas will answer our challenge/heat from the first qtr, be interesting to see how we handle that.
Intensity is down so far in the 2nd quarter. Gotta turn it back up ASAP.
Quarterus horriblis

They've answered our early dominance and we've dropped off as a result - still having trouble when the opposition bring and control the heat. Critical time of the game...
Customary 5 goal run occurs

Now we've got that out of the way, we can have our turn.
Same old, same old. As soon as the opposition, at the risk of being repetitive, bring and control heat our systems and processes fall apart and we resort to individualism. And way too many blokes just not in this game... Cameo Cuningham, Murphy, Gibbo not sighted this qtr,
Good work from Levi there to crunch the bloke dropping back in the hole.
Might miss a week for it, but everyone in the AFL would see that and second guess themselves in the future when they do the same thing.
Training drill.
Midfield getting smacked. Ball use inside 50 horrible.

We've only had it in side 50 twice this quarter.

And how many in the first?
25-28
25 points down.
People want to drop Murphy and say we are carrying him to 300 games.
With composure like that, and kicking skills like that, he is not being carried. He deserves his spot. He makes them count.
And how many in the first?
Yeah, we stuffed up there.
But this quarter its midfield pressure that is costing us (or lack of)
Think I might switch to Kayo and watch the reserves game
we have switched off here but will probably come back for another brave loss 🙄
We are a rabble
Good to see Levi Greenwood out there ::)
Second to the ball the whole qtr, defenders arguing against each other right in front of me. How do we go from champagne to crap in 30 mins
Cripps needed to kick a captains goal there. Yet another captain's point ::).
Good to see Levi Greenwood out there ::)
Yep. Happens every week.
I think Dunstall stuffed one too but corrected himself.
Same old same old. No where near the intensity of the first quarter.
Add in poor skills errors and we looked every bit of a bottom 4 team in that quarter.
Yep. Happens every week.

Eddie's done it twice.
With pressure and intensity we can match it with any team.
We just have to get to the point where we do it longer than a quarter. ::)
Carrying way too many b graders that make the easy look very hard
Former A graders treading water. Need a big second half from our leaders and well paid - McGovern, Saad, Williams, Cripps and Docherty need to lift because the likes of Plowman, Newnes, Curnow and Murphy arent going to do it
Maybe Stocker into the middle?
Need a spark and can’t see where that is going to come from
We have to look at players who are both gone and those who just don't want it badly enough and get rid of them. Does nothing for the culture.
How do we go from champagne to crap in 30 mins
Opposition pressure. Just can't handle it... and all other clubs know it. And way too many passengers who just drift in and out of the game. We know who they are.
Hate to say it, but time for Eddie to hang up the boots unless he finds something special... and soon. Yes, Murphy got a good goal from the Cuningham handpass... but just too little - and don't forget Murphy's howler/turnover (crap disposal) which prevented a certain goal for us.
This could be a blow out.
Walsh, Cripps, Doc, Weitering, Curnow doing their bit. But, I repeat, too many passengers.
They've lost a player and Neale on one leg... but still playing as a team so covering their losses. We're relying on individuals... again.
That turnover from Williams at HB that resulted in a goal was deplorable
Had our chances early and couldnt convert then got lazy and soft in the second and they got back in the game and punished us.
Williams turning out to be an iffy buy, he owes us a good game, that kick across ground that resulted in a Hipwood goal was atrocious. Rich doing his usual clean up act and hurting us with that left foot....no one playing on him and ditto with Mcbaggage...
Williams is very underwhelming in my opinion.
Spent a lot of time resting forward for no result and his time in the midfield is well below what I thought we were getting. if he is on 800k Walshy should ask for 2Mil.
Agree on Eddie, he’s cooked. Not much in the twos to replace him ATM
Rich running riot.... More stunning coaching from Teague and his mates... Shakes head in disbelief at the rank stupidity and ignorance of our MC

What are you still doing up? Go to SLEEP!

Thats why Eddie stays
....and.....we're back
What's with this side. Champagne to 5hit to champagne.
Critical time now.
Currently its 3 goals.
Need to stop them and score down the other end.
2 goals is nothing.
4 goals is asking a lot.
Casboult just flattened Ah Chee.
Thats 2 today.

about all he’s done
Cunningham hammy I think.

Looks ok to me in the huddle
Top 4 v Bottom 4
Almost worse that we produce such 5hit and continually just lose by a few goals. Feels like such as waste. If only we actually put in.
That 2nd qtr stunk after an excellent start. WTF was it.
Read somewhere that Harry is now leading the Coleman.

He could have won it by now if he kicked straight when it matters, we lost this in the first quarter when we were all over them but couldnt get enough score on the board. Once they got going and got in front they just paced themselves to help cover for Gardiner being subbed out and Neale on one leg.
Now either Teague is dumb for not tagging Rich or the player assigned to him was next to useless and shouldnt appear ever again because its the same deal every year with this bloke. We know how plays, we know they give him the ball where possible and he had another 33 possies tonight, something isnt right when the same player/s burn you every game and you dont learn.

Come on EB, 5 straight in the 2nd again and they did nothing to stop it again. Even if we jagged one or two of the sitters in the first, we still stayed in the huddle after Qtr time and let them get the all too familiar run on.

GTC...Good teams pile on the goals when they have control of the game, we pile on the behinds and you just lose momentum.
Agree we are 5 goal give away merchant team but we just shoot ourselves in the main...the Williams turnover....800k for that effort.
The kid Robertson in the goal square just allowed to kick an easy goal, Cameron over the back which you could see coming.
If we were 5 goals up after the first we might have caused some panic rather than give them hope and I'm just fed up like most knowing whats coming after we feck up the important moments in the game.
