Game Day (in delayed time)

Karmichael on the Russian.

Interesting.

Dockers by 14 points in real time.

12,111 turned up to watch this!

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

Lazy. I can't get over the lack of intensity and effort from some players today.

Watt at Casey Reserves ?

lol

That's your CHF, there fella...

This is some funny stuff.

[Whispering_Jack 30,634]

Full Time:

Melbourne 23.21.159

Gold Coast 9.15.69

And that's it. Off to the news, no song, no nothing.

I hope 9 gets the rights next time.

That looked from my vantage point as one of the least physical games you can get. However, it would have been energy sapping so it's a good thing we have a bye next weekend.

And surely, we're in the 8!!!!

That's your CHF, there fella...

This is some funny stuff.

You can pick apart his game if you want, but i think you are underrating his game, yeah wasnt huge or kick any goals but was involved in a couple, took 2-3 good marks and multiple tackles....and i thought work well in the centre sqaure. Applied alot of pressure

So marks, tackles, pressure and second efforts.... made improvement all aspects of his game which people have questioned.

And no im not against him having a week in casey could do him some good

Grimes' short kicking has been superb, always picks the best option and Colin Garland is a smart footballer. Oh wait.

Love your work, CB. Totally agree.

Might seem strange to say this, but it was a fairly lackluster 90 point win. We absolutely killed them in the last, but i think it might've had a lot to do with fitness and endurance from the season players we have.

Positives:

Moloney - Without a doubt BOG, and a fantastic way to answer for his lapse in judgement last week. If he keeps going like this and keeps his nose clean he could be reinstated in the leadership group later in the year.

Trengove - Excellent skill and poise for the whole game, love this kid.

Tapscott - Continues to show he belongs at AFL level.

Davey - Although quiet for much of the game, it was just great to see him dangerous around the goals again.

Morton - Wasn't sure about his selection (I'm a confessed Petterd lover!), but he showed why he was so highly touted, albeit against easier opposition.

Wonna - Starting to look like he belongs again, did some very clever things today.

Negatives:

- Yet ANOTHER slow start, the first team to have the first goal kicked against the Gold Coast is something we will live. We looked casual and uninterested for much of the first quarter and was in front because GC are easy to score against once you get inside 50.

- Pressure on the opposition ball-carrier is still not up to scratch, better in the last, but I want us to hunt the ball and strike fear into the opposition.

- Goal kicking, there were 6 or 7 posters so there is some leeway, but how many times were we in a point blank position and just stuffed it up. We won't get that many chances against the top sides so we must make them count.

Overall, if you'd asked me at the start of the day if i'd taken a 90pt demolition i'd say, "hell yeah!". So well done to the boys, but there is definitely work to do over the break.

To be fair to Watts, he seriously looks like he's just about to explode.
