Bloody hell....is there a stat for goals conceded  in the dying secs of a qrt,

I take that back....I thought we were in for a drubbing with the umps....but great fightback

 

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. 


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

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

 

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).


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.

Hardly seen Bernie - is he in the bar?

He is in Sloane's back pocket.

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. 

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


Bernie's doing a great job

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.

 

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

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

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

    It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.
