Stuie, see Brayshaw gettig caught there? Not fitness, game sense.

See also how we ran that quarter out better than them? Not fitness, work ethic and confidence.

Our opponent is worse than us. The game is there if we want it.

Yeah, Brayshaw shouldn't be playing, he's underdone, get it? Fitness is vital at Etihad.

We didn't run it out better, we started actually kicking which helped, they still outran us every single time.

They are worse than us, I don't rate the Saints very much, we should beat them easily, that's why the lack of fresh legs bothers me so much.

McDonald's fault. He handballs to a guy with three Saints players behind him. Zero talk from McDonald. 

For a start, the ball should never have been back there but if McDonald actually got back behind the mark quickly he would have had time and space to execute proper kick.

[Deestroy All 14,262]

Billy Stretch who has never made a mistake ever goes out. 

Brayshaw couldn't play any worse in. 

That hurts. 

[3Dee 1,153]

I can't believe we're still a chance here.

Anyone playing at home? How touched was that?

Barley but a closer look you could see clearly that 2 of Reiwoldts fingers bent back

TMac didn't help...where was the vocals telling Gus to kick it ?? We play a mime !!

IS the skipper playing today? Where the Farrk is our leadership. Disgraceful

Time to step aside I think. 2 disposals that quarter is poor. 

[Pates 9,649]

How has Brayshaw played this game (apart from being run down twice in the time I've been listening). I was very surprised he came straight in given the fact we rushed him in earlier in the year.

C'mon Dees, this is it. This is the moment we send the Saints packing!

Score please

Or Kennedy.

[Wiseblood 24,637]

For a supposed 'leader' that was a horrible decision from Tom McDonald.  Should have held on to the ball or just switched to the free player.  Instead he handpasses to Brayshaw who had no one around him to tell him he was hot and it almost cost us a goal.  Absolutely terrible decision.

We are still in it though.  I don't know how, but we are.  If not for Riewoldt's finger it would be under a goal.

Can we do it?

[waynewussell 5,146]

Brayshaw is fine, just a little slow on that occasion. He has done some good stuff during the game. We always have room for Oliver. We have given ourselves a chance... that's all I ask for.

True, but Brayshaw had enough time and a clear option to release but didn't take it.

No there's not plenty of run, we've just been kicking more. We're still getting clearly beaten on the run.

Why would there be tiredness right at the start? As I said earlier, it kicked in gradually and we've just gotten slower and slower.

 

The fact we were out tackled in the first is indicative of our work ethic and mindset, given it wasn't fitness.

Hope someone can use stem cell research on TMac and enlarge his brain one day... Classic tuna brain!

Viney leadership, need a better defensive alternative. Should have shut it down, lucky not to be over more down

[DemonLad5 1,642]

bloody poster

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

Thank God Hogan appealed for that deliberate, the umpire wouldn't have given it if the Melbourne players didn't say anything.

[olisik 4,060]

We all get sucked into contest. They stay out and spread

[dees189227 12,346]

Seriously we had to get the ball forward. If that goal was kicked it it would have flattened us and undo all our good work. 

Interesting on mmm Goodwin said about Brayshaw earlier in the season he was told to lose some weight as he put some on. they went though his diet and found out he was on the soft drink.

Plus we can't stop them disposing when we do tackle.

Dumb decision by N Jones to go backwards then. His second touch of the quarter and that happens.

The skipper is playing with a bad knee...give it a break guys.

Known by all opposition clubs, supporters and serious Demons as one of the gutsiest leaders in the game.

Can someone ask Hamish what our record at Etihad or against St kinda is like? Not sure if everyone knows yet.
