I don't like Thursday night football. I'll be lucky if I get home in time for the game to start.
Not a good start
For LP being worried about Harry playnig ruck. I'm not sure he has too much to worry about coming up against Ollie Wines in the ruck :))
So its now pretty clear defenders deep I50 cannot pick the footy up, the minute they get tackled, HTB
We are going to get shafted
I'd much rather see players be given the time to take possession and then try and do something decent with the footy, rather than this hot potato nonsense.
How many farken high frees I50 do we give away every bloody week?
Fantasia is a net negative
Biggest overreaction to 1 quarter of footy goes to.......
Fecking loose checking pisses me off.
If we don't keep the pressure on we'll get torched.
After 1.5 quarters I'm no clearer on what's ball and what isn't but players are still dropping the ball to teamates advantage and tackling their own teamates to lock it in.
We are seeing blokes scared to take the game on and cripps has lost his 1 wood which is taking men on and busting through contact.
The game as a spectacle hasn't improved.
Soldo keeps accidentally bumping our players in the head.
Soldo playing the clumsy ruckman 🙄
McG has a mattress strapped over his ribs
Dixon is actually playing on Weitering.
JHF at front of stoppages is killing us
Aliir clearly plays under different rules...holding clearly doesn't apply to him
Playing very ordinary football and are two points up, away from home against a team in the top 4. Plenty of upside.
Umpires are shafting us >:(
Struggling in the clearances even though Rozee is out and Butters well held by Cincotta...I think Port are playing better but the good thing is they have kicked poorly for goal apart from Georgiades who is their lone forward.
Cripps, Hewett and Kennedy need to give us something along with Acres and we will win the game.
Not a great spectacle, think the players from both teams unsure how the umps will interpret things.
The other thing is these ch7 commentators continually talking up port and hanging it on us.....we are actually in front.
The rule change doesn't suit one paced mids who can break tackles. Was never going to help us. Rozee butters and Horne Francis though.
Soldo too, pushing TDK in the chest well before the ball has arrived for the ruck contest imo...
Cripps 7 touches.
Kennedy 5
Its a bit of a slog, but we are certainly still in it at this point which is half the battle. 3 points up is nothing.
We can break the game open with a big 3rd quarter.
or
We could lose the game by dropping our bundle.
I think we'll fall in a hole in the last, as we had a tough game against Gold Coast and Port had the NM bye so should be fresher.
Don't forget Kruds that the bogans will get plenty of help on their own dungheap.
Thats why we need a big 3rd quarter to take the crowd out of it.
We need to get the crowd thinking of getting an early night before work tomorrow, rather than screaming blue murder at every moment and lifting the team over the line.
We need to lift. I think we can all see if it keeps going the way it's going we're going to fold.
X 2
Midfield lift needed. Someone needs to closely check JHF.
Feels like we are pacing ourselves and letting Port do all the early work.
Spot on. We can't break away from stoppages like Port. Rule interpretation change mo good for us.
Why doesn't Charlie run and chase. No second efforts.
Kennedy is really annoying me
Simply refuse to pay frees against Port in our F50
We are so open on the counter attack.
Faaaaark me this umpiring is awful
We have lifted, so the umps are stepping it up.
JHF and 33 all alone all night FFS
Spun in tackle not paid. Just pay it you effing cheats
Any danger we could two in a row
33 running around on his own again
If that wasn't a mark I'm dutch
The umpiring is actually biased this is just bs
Newman's dump kicks have been dreadful tonight
Almost as biased as the commentary.
All those points while dominating much of the q. Hope that doesn't come back to bite us. I expect they'll come home stronger than us, given the impact of the past game.
Go Blues
Doing well one more quarter to go. This is a tough match.
Kennedy, Cripps and Hewett need to have a quarter of their lives right here right now.
We started getting screwed by the umps in direct proportion to our increased effort.
If I could do a graph I would chart it. Py-Maggots theorum.
Let's just hope we have kept something in the tank for q4. Just got a feeling we have.

Captain Crippa
Gee that Butters can play
Soldo should be banned, it's football not rugby you flog.
Williams has caught fire again..
OK, so we haven't forgotten how to play.....and havent forgotten that the big ones are where we want to kick it through.
Also bonus that Fantasia is going to get subbed off.
***** YESSSS STICK IT UP YA ****ing jumper you cheating ****s!
Baggers!
F*** me...
Of course they kick that.
Need to keep the pressure on those flogs won't give up
Defenders love a goal 👏🏼
Goals to Kemp and McGovern.
Lets get Weiters in on the action while we are at it.
Boyd needs to pull his head in. Twice he has made stupid attempts like that which have burned us
Another bs free from the Centre
And let's give Aliir a farking charity
Need a couple more goals. Our defence is shaky.
That could be the ball game
Blacres does what Blacres does in big moments 👏🏼
Lovely tackle Cinch
ZW with 3
Lets kick a few more now they are defeated and work on our %
Bloody powerful win.
Still no Cerra, no Motlop. cottrell, Doc
PILE IT ON!!!
H with 3 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Yay! Never in doubt, 🤪
Bring on the Bombers!!!!!
Superb q4
TDK BOG and injured in the last minute
That is a screwen mighty win
Yep.
Exposed one pretender this week.
Might as well do the same to another one next week. >:D >:D
We just needed to string multiple goals together and we were away.
Wonderful effort by the boys. Not an easy road trip by any means against a current top 4 team. We've had few victories here in recent times.
Walsh, TDK, Cripps, Newman enormous
The hunter always wins
Great win. Wrapped. Cripps big in the last qtr.
Looked like he was tunnelled.
By the clumsy ruckman
Hope he is OK. Now, to the post game thread.
The free kick against Weitering illustrates what’s wrong with the new interpretation; one bloke makes the ball his object, takes possession and is immediately tackled. The ball jars loose and Weitering is penalised 🙄
