Matchday thread vs Brisbane

[Eth 4]

Make that 20-4, Sylvia gets another free. 25 touches, 7 marks, 6 tackles, 3 frees for, 2 goals.

He won't be A grade, he'll be elite

[Eth 4]

THREE QUARTER TIME

Brisbane 7.6.48

Melbourne 10.8.68

Sylvia still on fire

[olgreydingo 51]

Worst scoring qtr for a while. 1.3.9 to 3.1.19 We are in desperate need of a key forward!!

[drdrake 3,203]

The key with Sylvia playing well midfielder not forward

[RalphiusMaximus 6,102]

We just need to get it together and break even in the last. Of course, going on the attack and running away to win by 40 would be good. We need to run them into the ground. They have injured players, so there's less bench to use. Make them work harder and they'll wilt.

Bah! Give me a dynamic, pressure set-up any day. That's where it's at.

EDIT: Let's not forget we're on the road, with a draw up our sleeves, needing to win three or more out of the next five. How much we win by is irrelevant, IMO.

DOUBLE EDIT: Colin Sylvia, AKA "The one thing Yze_Magic was ever right about."

[PeterJames 46]

Wona, Jurrah, Dunn and Bennel have gone massively missing!

Watts could stuff up wheaties!!!

[Jaded No More 68,975]

Barty and Garland holding the backline

When was the last time you didn't go "hang on, who is Frawley playing on?"

Chip dominating a clearly injured Brown.

Not a great quarter but we stood firm against their run. With 2 on the bench we should run this game out. But what we should do and what we will do is a very different story.

[olgreydingo 51]

Our forwards

Kicks only

Dunn 7 - 2 goals

Watts 6

Bennell 4

Aussie 3 - 1 goal

Green 10 - 2 goals

Jurrah 2

Apart from green we need more especially from the smalls in the wet

We are better when watts and bennel dont have the ball!

[Eth 4]

Mitch Clark shanks it.

Not true. Watts has had one of his best games tonight, but Bennell's had a bad one.

Chips (on Brown)doing well to but more defensive, the other are a bit more attacking

[RalphiusMaximus 6,102]

Mitch lets us off twice. Lucky.

[Eth 4]

Mitch Clark had two opportunities to make it interesting

[Felix 92]

Come on Melbourne.

[Eth 4]

That's why Bartram's a defender, kick from 50 is out on the full

[Eth 4]

Well, at least we're not kicking like Sydney

[Eth 4]

22 scoring shots each, Geelong by 70

[agent_orange 0]

Come on Melbourne.

we need to get some better use of the ball. Should have brought trengove straight back in.

[Eth 4]

Brown kicks his second

Brisbane 8.8.56

You Serious?

[RalphiusMaximus 6,102]

I can feel it falling apart. We need to start hitting targets better.
