GAME DAY

[H_T 3,049]

like 3rd quarter v hawthorn, just vice versa

Ah no.... that quarter was 8.11 to 1.0. Nothing like that.

Richmond 7.5. 47

Melbourne 12.4. 76

Dees by 29 pts.

Won that quarter by 9 pts.

Goals: Green 3, Jones 2, Watts 2, Trengove 2, Martin, Jurrah , Howe.

Really impressed wiuth the intensity and some of the ball movement is exquisite. Impressed with Nicholson's don't argue's and breaking tackles whilst on the run looking up field. Garland, Rivers and Frawley doing well as required. Moloney coming into the game that quarter, Jones playing very well. ANd the forwards in Jurrah, Green, Howe, Petterd playing with freedom and looking dangerous foe nearly every i50. Martin and Jamar sharing the load both in the centre and up forward. Making contests. Bennell could be a bit more dangerous with some confidence. Goes to the ball one handed alot, would prefer two hands and that he take the physicality responsibility for his teammates. If you go half hearted at 50/50 balls, opposition will find you out and exploit that. Putting in though so that is a positive.

Bring on the second half. Must let the footy do the talking again and keep the accelerator down. May just break the game wide open.

Good first half must keep it up though

Anyone know anything about Sylvia making contact in an off the ball incident? Heard someone saying he'll get 3 weeks for it...no one at the game knows anything about nor did anyone see it. Me thinks it's a bit of good ol' fashioned BS.

[Gorgoroth 13,184]

@ Akum. Jordie was on him late in the quarter, not sure who was on him earlier, possible Gys. Garland gets him when he is going forward.

On of Jordies tackles on him in their F50 he literally threw him self at him through the air and wrapped both arms and legs around him and rode him to the ground. Don't argue that!

Ah no.... that quarter was 8.11 to 1.0. Nothing like that.

true, overexcited...what I should have said was 'tiges really struggling to release the ball following a dees behind, a little reminiscent of the hawks game'

Off the ball incident...know nothing.

The only contact he had was his knee into Conca's head. Conca got a free, could have been nasty but just grazed him. All accidental. Sylvia should have gone down low like Conca did. Granted, Conca may have just beaten him to the ball.

Yeah fair enough.

Our press is putting pressure on.

Our ball handling is good.

Watts mark - great pack mark, stood tall !!

[Gorgoroth 13,184]

Nothing in it, Conca (I think) and Sylvia were both running at the ball and Conca's head hit Slyvia's knee as they both when low for the ball

[rhaz 342]

We are going to [censored] them.

[H_T 3,049]

Martin free kick after another inside 50 from Scully.

GOAL !!!

Good start to the second half !

[Shadow_S13 0]

Scully to Watts - Magic we will see for a few years yet

[Gorgoroth 13,184]

Martin a free and goal for Martin holding rance

Free for tigers in middle.

[rhaz 342]

Wattsy, you're better than that. Cost us a goal.

[Gorgoroth 13,184]

Edwards kicks one, now Jackson lining up for another, stupid free from Watts before.

Jackson misses.

[whatwhat say what 23,448]

this game is still right on.

both sides are scoring quickly when they get a run-on - gotta make sure you get a goal when the opportunity presents itself, not another wretched point.

[Shadow_S13 0]

lets just hope the Dees put them away

[Gorgoroth 13,184]

They keep fumblimg and we cant put them away, 1goal 6 for the quarter.

[Shadow_S13 0]

Dees need to kick straight!!!!

[Gorgoroth 13,184]

Nicho caught by Vickery, only Frawley spoil saves us a goal.

[rhaz 342]

Wasting so many opportunities here. Even getting a pretty good run with the umpires...

[Gorgoroth 13,184]

Martin too cute, turns it over, results in Newman goal, Tigers with a sniff.

Sylvia to Jurrah, come on jurrah!

[Gorgoroth 13,184]

Another miss! Come on Melbourne! We are letting them back in.

[davey_magik 1]

No-one to blame but ourselves if we lose this....
