Ready for tomorrow night. I'll be at the game.
They are killing us out of the middle
Somebody remind me why we were possessed to play hollands. He’s a disaster.
Wonder if we could package up the Hollande Boys for a couple of third rounders.
Ollie is neither quick, physical nor a good disposer.
Pittonet got a free kick against
David King, its almost like he is too strong for Balta.
So he got penalised for being too strong??
Thats a new one.
Getting sucked in by the tigers at the moment.
Need to be smarter.
Our heads aren't in the game at the moment. Have given them momentum going into the 1st break. Bad signs early
Just about to post the very same thing!
Leg speed is our kryptonite, we've created plenty of opportunity but we have been burning the footy leaving us chasing, exactly what we do not want.
you cant physically throw the opposition ruck out of the contest like he did. Thats why he didnt remonstrate he knew he did a dumb thing.
Balta is a concern - bad match up for our man too mobile and agile.
walsh as well dumb place to do what he did.
hoping the melee will switch us on
Tigers are psyching us out. We need to get over it.
He didn't throw anybody, Balta fell over across Pitto, he was falling even before Pitto's left arm made contact, and the umpire guessed as there were players standing in his line of site.
Stop listeining to the commentary, they talking you into believing them, if you watch with the audio off you'd see it differently.
We’re going to have to work really hard to get back into this.
You can push and shove. He was penalised because the other bloke fell over.....because he was too good at the push and shove.
If you can't push and shove in the ruck, then we are playing basketball.
Our intensity has lifted.
Started to get our way.
If only Cripps could kick.
We were flat against a young side.
Melee woke us up.
eddie betts comments really are special :-X
Don't poke the (sleeping) bear.
ISON is putrid at laying a tackle. Putrid.
Ison making too many mistakes.
Still adjusting to the speed of the game.
Needs a spell in the 2's to remind him he is too good for that level.
So does the tigers bloke get rubbed out for leading with his head in that contest?
Does Cowan get done because the tigers bloke got knocked out (or close enough too)
By the AFL rules, an accidental headclash, the one who caused the head injury gets in trouble, ie Cowan.
Now clearly, Cowan did nothing wrong. But i say this to highlight how stupid the rule is when it takes into account outcome as a priority.
Dwayne Russell needs to do his homework.
Called out BEN Wilson before.
Just said Cerra was the one feeling for his jaw (it was Cowan).
This is the best they can come up with??
he is learning. he is going to muck up. i would keep persisting as he is one of the ones for the future and you just have to get games into them.
Ison gets a lot of praise from commentators and does the occasional nice thing BUT is still very raw and makes mistakes. Certainly needs to develop some composure asap.
A 10 goal win should get our % back to 100%
1 12 goal win should get our % on a par (or slightly above) both GC and GWS (and a game clear).
THATS what we should be looking at from here, not simply a win.
Ultimately we have to beat everyone we are contending with.
Collingwood
StKilda
Gold Coast
Bulldogs
Haynes and Young take eachother out in the contest.
We going to have Derkson going solo next week unless we get some players back.
Hopefully Haynes and Young are ok.
Hopefully Dean comes back.
Hopefully Weitering doesn't reinjure himself.
Hopefully HOF isn't far away
Otherwise forget about finals.
I’m worried about winning this game atm.
Same. We're managing to keep our noses in front, but there's nothing too convincing thus far.
Game is in the balance. Need someone to step up.
Yep. We really need to focus
TIgers have all the play.
We are holding firm.
As soon as they lift their foot off the gas, we will explode.
When did Richmond become our bogey team ?
No but it's far from convincing and looks harder that it should be IMO.
Lynch OOF.
Umps screwed that up and is helping them get there.
TWICE!
Jesus. Awful game. 7 in a row.
I don't want to play a sh it ever again.
...and there is your weekly heart check lads.
Everyone present and accounted for?
I joke, but i just remembered there was a Richmond Supporter at the game in R1 who had a heart attack on the siren....not sure if he made it or not.
Smashed in the midfield, Nankervis and Balta intimidate our Mids and we struggle.
No, but they continue to make our life miserable.
Only after the defibrillator.
Word from someone who is in the know (friend of a friend), he passed away
They match up well against us because their strength is our ultimate weakness. They are a bit nasty aggressive and we aren't, they are ultra-fast on the outside we we aren't.
Really poor showing but we win again. Onto the Dawks, the easybeats
Double medication and a large scotch tonight!:
Felt like a loss. Sack Voss.
They were on a mission tonight for sure. Fortunately we were able to contain them, umpires not withstanding.
Done
Move it to the post game.
