Beat me to it! Lucky the big lump missed

[Wiseblood 24,636]

10 point down at half time?  We'll take it.

If you take away those first 10 minutes of the second term where they kicked 5 on the trot, we've been the better side.  Our attack and pressure on the ball has been good and we've forced them in to turnovers which has frustrated them.  We aren't giving them a run at the footy and they don't really know what to do about it.

We need to come out far more switched on than we did in the second term, though.  Lots to like about the first half.

10 points at the half... not a bad result, least we're showing fight. 

[chook fowler 18,558]

Hardly seen Bernie - is he in the bar?

[DeeZee 6,905]

Hannan zero disposals in a half of footy, while ANB whose been averaging around 26 twiddles his thumbs 

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

Could have been worse, umpires had a huge quarter.

 

[dazzledavey36 49,739]

Been a big Tyson supporter but far out his disposal is horrible. Whats happened to him??

[What 18,810]

Vince, Watts, Garlett, Kent

All have been poor and need to lift, and if they do we will win.  If they dont they should all be dropped for letting us down so badly.

Hes has 2 according to the stats (but point taken).

[Deestroy All 14,262]

Fair effort. Buckled, but hit back. 

Umps are C units. 

I can forgive our defenders for the odd mistake tonight, they're against the best forwards in the league. 

Need to lower our eyes and hit the smalls like Collingwood did earlier today. 

Tyson is dumb and has poor skills and I don't like him at all.

He is in Sloane's back pocket.

[barneymfc 152]

going well for a team with no forward line

I think he's playing a hard tag on somebody! Maybe himself ?

Half time votes....Umpires, 3, 2, 1

Game Over. 

 

Maybe not. 

Lets c what happens in the second half although at 5 goals to zip I was thinking the same.

Playing a tagging role on Sloan who's had 7 disposals to half time. Vince has only had the 3, I'd like to see him try to damage Sloan if he see the opportunity. 

[faultydet 7,593]

Yeah, we are behind, and i HATE when people look for the positives in a loss, so I will get in now.

 

Bloody hell Hibberd was a great pickup.

I think he's been pretty effective shutting Sloane down

[Nasher 33,246]

Second quarter is where Adelaide run away with games apparently. They were about to run away with it too but we wrestled it back - this is exactly what I wanted today. 

We are in it. Again.

[DeeZee 6,905]

Bernie's doing a great job

[DaveyJones'sLocker 625]

Petracca needs to get involved more we look much better when he is.

Kent and garlet needs a big second half if we are to have a chance of winning

As dazzle said earlier, I've been a fan as well, but the bloke is having an absolute mare today.  His kicking is all over the shop and he looks so slow.  I'm not one to write players off quickly, but this has been happening all season.  It doesn't bode well for him.

[dee-tox 4,831]

Some of the inexperienced guys: Wagner, Hannan, Oscar and Weed showing why we are not quite there. 

[Razor 274]

This is a real test for Goodwin.  We need to play smarter in our defence and rejig the fwd entries.  I hope he leaves Pedo up forward with Weid
