This [censored] of the tackler holding the ball in and earning a free kick is totally against the spirit of footy.

Hit outs 18~3

What a ham fisted bunch of [censored] ups we are!

Maybe big Maxie over celebrated his great last game. He's had one hit out, Spenser 2; NicNat & Sinclair 8 each!

We are but soft butter, being run through like we're not there. It's gonna be an almighty thumping.

Is it really that hard MFC? For [censored] sake, give your supporters some hope.

Commentator says we have problems with the WC forward line. That's not true. The issue is the lack of pressure in the midfield. As others have said, we're conceding the extra man in defence. They win the ball in their backline too easily and we simply run back and let them run it up the field uncontested. They then have an unpressured pass into the 50 from pretty much CHF, allowing them to put it anywhere in the 50 at will. No backline can defend against that. Our mids need to pull their weight and actually pressure that rebounding run rather than just turning their backs and running towards the defensive 50.

kennedy and darling are giving dunn and t-mac respectively an absolute bath.

not much you can do when it's coming in so quickly and no pressure.

gus out of the game.

The umps seem to like Hogan, which is handy.

But they hate the rest of us. 3 shocking frees to eagles 20 metres out and we can't buy one. Holding the ball rule is either an Eagles free or play on if we have them.

Mix of talls and stalls looks to have backfired massively.

Gus is actually a big out, which is a credit to a kid with half a season under his belt.

Big turnaround needed in this quarter otherwise this one could get away very quickly.

I wish the dees would man up, both figuratively and literally. Woeful performance, no chase, no fight, I hope roos can get some sort of spark out of them.

Instead of long bombs and attempting species in the fwd line how about delivering to the forwards advantage? WC are doing this perfectly. Create space, lead into space, deliver to advantage and take mark inside 50. I know it's not that simple, but WC make it look that easy.

His card has gotta be marked.

I marked it looooooong ago but some guys around her LURVE HIM!

Midfield letting us down. Our games are won and lost right there. Doesn't look good. Let their rucks get 50 hitouts. We need to stop their run. Their hitouts to advantage is embarrassing.

Wow, we're deplorable against decent sides.

Geelong are no longer decent, that was a false dawn

and now it's Gawn.......

Can't believe how dumb we were to go with two rucks in these conditions. West Coast are the perfect team to go small against. ANB and JKH would be eating this up. Instead, one was sub and the other isn't playing.

We are too tall, too slow, too cumbersome.

Speak for yourself mate!

RILEY ANYONE???

Flights cancelled in and out of Bali due to volcanic ash so stuck here for 1 or 2 days.

Match is on TV but having seen the 1st quarter I think I might as well re-join the kids in the pool and drink some more Bintangs...

Don't call it too early guys. The second half will test the Weagles.

Viney dived on the ball and threw it to Watts to Jones, to Vince who passed to Garlett for in i50 mark. Missed the set shot.

Backline are actually doing pretty well.

Garlett marked that 40m out in front - and umpire / MFC let eagles set the mark at 48m - poor stuff

Well Brayshaw is subbed out.

Means we can't sub Spencer of Gawn out...

Bugger.

Three set shot's we've missed? We really could have used the extra 15 points.
