GAME DAY - Round 12

[What 18,810]

Most frustrating half of footy ive ever seen

Should be leading but so many dumb moves forward

[Ted Lasso 17,108]

The umpires have been shocking! This is close to the worst I have seen them

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

Slow ball movement is killing us.

[What 18,810]

the sooner we swap JKH for Gawn the better

If we lose this game it was lost at the selection table

What like expecting everyone who has barracked for us to play for us? Yeah that's really mature...

Actually, I think we are being a little unfair to Undeeterred, It was JackVineyForPresident who started the whole "supported dees as a kid" thing.

The best piece of play was when Pedersen played on which resulted in the Howe goal.

[Nasher 33,166]

Boring game so far.

[bing181 8,219]

Possessions: Salem 3, Tyson 4.

[Wiseblood 24,636]

Boring game so far.

But we are in it. I'd rather this than allowing the Pies to kick 120 points yet again while being smashed. We have room for improvement in the second half and we are only 9 points down. We are right in the contest.

[SaberFang 7,141]

Fkn Mcaffer killing Tyson.

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

I would hate to see a Melbourne player put on a shepherd just quietly.

[TheoX 1,218]

Fkn Mcaffer killing Tyson.

If Dom's name was Gary or Scott he would've had 5 free kicks by now...

Thank you.

Our midfield is do much better, but we are losing it at the clearances... And we just lack a bit of polish...by the way whose the new bloke in number 4? Runs hard, his tackle set up the first goal. Might be good across the half forward line...

[ashdemons22 235]

Why are Jamar and Gawn deep forwards killing us.

[hardtack 10,139]

Boring game so far.

Maybe it's the fact that we are still well in this game at half time, but I'm finding it fairly riveting... a good well contested game, and if McDonald could be a little more accountable (that is, get back to his first quarter form), we will be a better than even chance to take this.

So, we're in touch at half time, which hasn't happened a lot in recent years.

We've seen some interesting umpiring, including yet another "Salem picked up the ball" decision and a HTB against Watts when he handpassed it.

Our defence is keeping us in this game without a doubt. Especially the 4th eighth of the game when Collingwood were dominating and only got one goal from it. Dunn is fighting hard against Cloke but as their midfield gets on top it's getting harder.

I don't hold a lot of hope of our key forwards scoring goals, so the flankers and mids need to step up and take the slack. Frost and Keith are going to be very hard to take marks on in range of goal.

All in all 3/4 of that half we've been really good, and when we let them off the leash we limited the damage.

[Binmans PA 26,474]

Yeah, the ball movement is slow, but we're also overusing it when we have the numbers. Worried at the moment. We stopped half way through that quarter.

[SaberFang 7,141]

Free kicks 7 to 2 or something the Pies way. Nice to see absolutely no bias going on for the game's "super star" Pendebury.

I think Gawn has been OK. Salem is the one that needs to be subbed.

[RalphiusMaximus 5,993]

Umpiring 7 to 2 or something the Pies way. Nice to see absolutely no bias going on for the game's "super star" Pendlebury.

On the bright side only 8 frees for the half. There probably should have been a few more paid to us and there were a couple of shocking HTB's paid to them, but it could be a lot worse.

5 - 2 (to Collingwood)

* we only got one in the last 5 minutes of that half...

Tyson needs to do something about Macaffer.

You can't get shut down and let your tagger kick goals

I was going off the stats from Fox but the AFL app says 6 - 3... either way it's not good

HOW WAS THAT NOT 50?!?!?
