GAME DAY - Round 11

[titan_uranus 24,873]

Good fightback. As I said earlier, St Kilda's very mediocre but we're behind because we give them easy goals with bad turnovers.

We're capable of scoring, and scoring quickly (2 goals in 90 seconds, then 3 goals in 3 minutes) but the errors are not good enough. But I take solace from the fact that it's only 6 points despite the errors.

Watts is playing really well, obviously Hogan too. Viney, Toumpas and Brayshaw are also impressing.

The kids are alright (even if ANB and Stretch appear way off AFL level for me right now). It's the leaders that, once again, will win or lose this game for this club.

This is going to be under a future beer bottle cap

Watts so impressive today.

He seems to like this fixture.

[Seraph 1,824]

Gawn has been dominating the ruck, we looked better once our players started reading his taps. Pity he can't take a mark.

Watts looks fantastic. Glad to see him taking the game on and demanding the football. He's going into contests hard, too.

[Deestroy All 14,262]

if Gawn's marks start sticking he'll be a star. Always in the right spot just doesn't hold em.

Its criminal how we (mfc) allow that easy run from our half forward

While I don't believe Roos is to blame it's a clear blight we can't hold the ball in our f50

Some more thoughts.

Watts loves playing at Etihad. The ping pong style seems to suit him. If I was in charge of St.Kilda or any of the Etihad teams, I'd consider trading for him at the end of the year.

Viney's tackle was one of the best I've ever seen! It's a shame it still ended up in a Saints goal not long after it.

I've nearly thrown my remote at the TV on several occasions and still might if the Saints blow us out of the water after half time.

Great to see Viney Toump and Wattsy going ok. Vineys been great actually

[Nasher 33,607]

That Hogan fella goes okay. Might keep him.

[ding 5,126]

I would be so happy if Jimmy could eliminate the inside ball panic he has. I reckon we have to just accept that he just doesnt cut it in close, tell him to stay outside, and use his beautifully weighted kicking to spot up leading forwards.

Bring it Jimmy.

He's no Max King yet.

You don't get to keep Hogan.

Hogan decides if he wants to be kept.

And you know its true.

I think in the second he put his body on the line a couple times (had more impact then some senior players)

While I agree he does panic - I think he's been playing a lot better recently

Not as classy as Brayshaw but doing good things the Toump.

[Adam The God 29,657]

Cross has been fine. The bloke who's been hopeless is Jeremy Howe. Back to his lazy best.

[beelzebub 23,242]

Jesse hogan deserves to play for a better side.

so let's build our own for him !!

[jackaub 1,402]

THE TOUMP!!!

Rusty he cost us two goals in the first quarter Dont get carried away

Disagree. I think he's made some good decisions under pressure today.

[chook fowler 19,291]

Maxxy is feeding the mids nicely - he has to be our number 1 ruckman.

I have been a Howe apologist but it's hard to defend his year.

Great to see Watts, Toump improving.

Still carrying some dead wood but the youngsters give a lot of hope.

Reckon we will run over the top of them.

His got hart Jimmy, I've seen him at the bottom of the pack a couple of time this game. I can see his trying to win his own ball which shows me he is trying to change his game style which I love.

[Canplay 634]

I think there's quite a few positives out of 1st half - we've absorbed the pressure and hit them on the counter.

Do fear we will lose this game at the selection table. While I think we've young talent we've thrown too many in on the one day. Can't carry ANB & Stretch in the same game.

[jnrmac 19,931]

Our two rucks haven't taken a mark - Gawn and Pedda

[jackaub 1,402]

Well done Toumpas. Stick it up some of the so called 'supporters' on this forum

Hey Dubbo watch the first quarter

[dazzledavey36 53,277]

Go away!

[ILLDieADemon 804]

Cross has been fine. The bloke who's been hopeless is Jeremy Howe. Back to his lazy best.

He is not worth $600,000 and has never shown that he will ever be worth that much.

Liked him better in defence.
