Not a good quarter but we're still nearly 5 goals up ... (they won the clearances 13-8 in that quarter)

We kick the first couple after half time and it's over.

Jack Viney 8 tackles at the half

tom mc bog by a mile

Brownlow contender if he keeps this up all season.

The Dogs are smacking the Tiggers too. Could be a great day.

Closer than it looks - 8 scoring shots to 10 so they're not out of it.

Our younger players gotta maintain the intensity. Bruising, gruelling encounter, easy for tide to turn.

We are not use to defending four goal half time lead.

Said Hanrahan

Need to get Jones and Tyson into the game, but as importantly get H running and get the ball to him in space.

Only downside with H is that everyone knows what he's going to do. They've managed to not give him any of that space he needs to do his best work.

Be interesting to see if Tyson and Jones can lift, that's probably the match right there.

worried about this second half.

Why? When challenged last week we stood up. We need to do it again.

If Jones can break the tag we are a good chance.

We still need him badly in order to get on top in the midfield which is the absolute key to winning this match.

I hope this is our bad quarter for the game over and done with. A wake up call that we have to keep pushing hard for every second of every quarter.

I'm thinking if we don't get any injuries that we should sub a tall for Brayshaw. Give us more run.

Jones gets off the chain this quarter and we are home

If Jones, Vince and Tyson can push on this quarter we should be OK.

Jack Viney has taken a massive step forward in his development, looks a class above to me and his tackling is amazing

8 tackles to half time! Bloody ripper!

17 frees to 8 in GWS favour...

Just said on the radio that Newton's been taken off after a big tackle with his head going into the ground. Hope he's OK.

Jones needs to learn with the new rule he can't try and break tackles, he will be pinged every time.

Holding them without much from Jones or H. Need a couple of goals to kill it. Premiership quarter

First goal to Treloar.

It's been all them for the last 15-20 minutes of play, this game is very far from over.

Brayshaw knee heavily bandaged on the boundary. Anyone know why?

GWS. Goal ..damn!

They are definitely on top but 18 frees to 8 is a joke

Our chasing and pressure is pretty pathetic at the moment.

Strange. I have a weird feeling we're going to lose...

According to the AFL website Brayshaw's been subbed on for vandenBerg - anyone know why?

Howe looks distracted.

Dylan Shiel is killing us. Roosy?

We are looking VERY shaky

Pathetic effort by all players.

Game on, and we look second rate.
