Game Day (in delayed time)

[Whispering_Jack 30,674]

Well, it's an ordinary game and we're on top. It looks like the players are slowing down in the humid conditions.

It looks like Moloney had the right idea getting himself properly hydrated earlier in the week .

[The Song Formerly Known As 6,479]

Oh, there he is! Pops up and takes a mark inside 50 at the two minute mark and misses.

[Whispering_Jack 30,674]

Half Time:

Melbourne 11.9.75

Gold Coast 4.5.29

The skies look threatening and from the look of the players the effort is particularly tiring. Fitness is going to be important and the commentators are talking about activating the sub early. Timing could be interesting.

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

Lazy, pure and simple.

Working out why Collingwood are so good isn't hard. They run hard with and without the ball, they aren't just thinking about getting the ball themselves they think about where they need to be if their teammate gets the ball.

Melbourne don't do any of this. Melbourne are about five goals down for what I would consider a pass mark to this point.

[Kiss of Death 755]

Yeah, haven't seen a great deal of intensity towards the end if that quarter. Step up in the second half dees.

Agreed completely with this, if we brought this lack of intensity and process to any other AFL game we would be beaten.

[Whispering_Jack 30,674]

Oh dear ... are we tiring or just losing interest?

[P-man 13,366]

This second half has been absolutely appalling.

[Whispering_Jack 30,674]

If we try to play cute football like this in our next game we'll be ripped apart.

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

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

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

If they say the heat was a factor I simply say they aren't fit enough. They have a two week break now to improve their fitness otherwise they have just been lazy.

[frankie_d 1,471]

How is this in anyway good? Time to form the Bring Back John Northey Action Faction. (It's hard to be patient when we get this tripe served up) 1964 in the Southern Stand seems a long time ago.

[Whispering_Jack 30,674]

Struggling to win the quarter against this mob although hitting the post four times doesn't help!

Good to see Aaron Davey in the goals but how did he miss the one on the siren.

Three Quarter Time

Melbourne 15.14.104

Gold Coast 8.11.59

Live score at Quarter Time in the other game (where a goal umpire's decision was overruled on the say so of a boundary umpire - I hate that!)

Fremantle 5.6.36

North Melbourne 4.3.27

Goodbye Bunnings Warehouse and Creative Gourmet.

[Roost It 1,434]

West Coast will beat us by 10 goals

[Jordie_tackles 354]

Intensity was definately down, was there a stat about them beating us in th contested possession? that cant be good?

No Grunt

No Game Plan

No Nuts

No Mungrel

No Anything

Lucky we are playing a team of kids.

Thank God No Ablet or Brown

They would have overtaken us by now

Bailey has no Clue how to REV up and position a side to beat a team of KIDS

[Jordie_tackles 354]

We can still beat them by as much as the dogs, just wait for watts to kick a few

[Gorgoroth 13,023]

We are [censored].

It's simple, we have not improved one bit since last year, actually gone backwards in our skills.

I have been patient with Bailey and what he has had to work with, but I am really struggling to see what he is trying to do, and if he is doing what he wants, it's wrong. And if it's the players not following his instructions then we are in as much trouble.

[Whispering_Jack 30,674]

Watts on!

[Whispering_Jack 30,674]

Watts on!

Watts on ... first kick

Who's on second.

Boom, boom ...

[Mydee 288]

Ross Oakley was just another corporate w#%nker with a cash register for a heart and a TV for a brain.

Probably still not game to cross over the Westgate to the Western suburbs-long memories out that way

[Dees 64 8]

Watts on ... first kick

Who's on second.

Boom, boom ...

Watts Great Mark , a turnover by Watts and GCS Goal

[Whispering_Jack 30,674]

The idiot who keeps ringing my mobile should give up now.

Good goal Aussie and a nice tap from Jack Watts.

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

Watts takes a good contested mark, then fluffs a kick to gift Swallow a goal. See you at Casey.
