Jordie is playing Ablett better than most players have all year.

Or, do you not even know who he is playing on?

Can't kick, can't handball unless its to a player hotter than himself and lacks composure but yeah... He can tag a player ill give him that.

As soon as Jordie goes off Ablett, Nicho goes onto him and Ablett racks the ball up at will - and HURTS us!!

Mate, no disrespect, but you have no idea about football if you believe McKenzie is having a bad game tonight.

He is playing on the best midfielder in the history of the game and shutting him out, all the touches Ablett has are when Jordie is having a breather.

Keep in mind, I am McKenzies biggest critic, but credit where credie is due, Jordie has been one of our most important players tonight.

That was my 2nd favourite quarter of the year.

Year they got a run on, but I can't remember is regaining composite like that at any other stage. We changed or structure and style, stopped pushing so hard and started holding the ball. Released players for the switch.

We actually played smart football. And if we have kicked straight at the end we'd be in front*.

*the same goes for them in the first half of the quarter.

But Watts has kicked two goals...is he playing HBF?

Yep. His first goal came before he was moved back where is now playing as the loose man. His second goal he had acres of space running off HB. Quality finish after almost fluffing it.

Loving the stuff from our younger boys:

Viney (11 touches in first Q)

Kent (showing up Blease)

Clisby (great offensively)

Strauss (Great offensively and has laid some good tackles)

Tappy (attacks every contest and is a good lead up player)

Watts (Watts is finally a man - he now has balls)

We are spreading in the middle and taking the game on.

The umpires are a joke tho and the commentators are trying to find any excuse possible to explain why Ablett doesn't have 30 touches already.

That was the arsiest goal of the year from Watts. Still great composure to slot it from 50 under pressure.

Loved Kent's attack on the ball. Might get a game on the sidelines, but well worth it.

Jack Viney is great in close and frees up Jones a little.

Jordie is doing a great job tagging.

All in all, it could be worse.

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
