not playing well as a team, need to tighten up, we can play far better than this. Lucky our defense is doing well. Main issue is always going to be pettrie we always had trouble with him when he played for north

 

 

Any word on Hannan 's leg?

If that was our bad quarter we'll be quite alright. Welcome back Maxy !

We should be 4 goals down.

Nah. Defending well. Taking our chances. They are rushing it in and our defenders are managing easily.

Must start playing the game on our terms otherwise we will get smashed.

Stop handballing for gods sake!

Just kick it long. Id put Petracca in the forward line as a traget. Missing Watts's lead up tonight. But we got back on track and hopefully go better in the 2nd quarter. can see the difference having Max back is making already. 

Lewis hit your targets and I hope the players are wearing the right boots because its frustrating seeing them just fall over.

Twice he rushed his kick from a mark, should know better.

Lewis has been very poor.

Harmes, Bugg, Pedo unsighted. Geez we'd look different with Watts, Hogan and Jones playing.

God Tyson frustrates me. Just not clean at all in tight situations.

He takes way too long to make a decision.

In trouble early despite what the scoreboard says.  Garlett having one of those slipping fumbling nights.

We look ordinary and will get done unless we switch on in decision making and intensity (excepting Viney)

How can we be so clean against dogs and go back to the laziest ineffective manic  handballing like today?

Frost needs to think now and then before he releases the ball. Lewis needs to wake up. Melksham should never chip kick, Even Trac is making poor decisions. Lucky to be in this.

Memory has been erased

Any Melbourne supporter that actually has memories of Pedersen playing for North definitely watches entirely too many North Melbourne games for my liking.

Very lucky to be in front, Eagles have missed some very gettable opportunities and completely wasted their inside 50s. We've taken our chances for the most part and the defence has held relatively strong under the barrage.

We need to get some composure though, our usually good ball users were off that quarter (Salem excluded) and our usually bad ball users are continuing their trend.

Reset and reload.

Too much handball.  Start kicking longer to the hot spots.  Great example was Frost not kicking long to a possible Jeffy when he broke free off HB. Hand balled and turned it over!

Viney is killing it. Get Tracca in the middle for Lewis. Lewis will be a good coach next season, but he ain't much of a player anymore.

Garland?

We need to be cleaner especially jeffy

Garland.... Great commentating

That Basil clown just called Pedo 'Garland'. WTF??!!

Against this West Coast team? Yeah nah.

Max needs his beard power back.

Their making is elite. 

What the hell was that

Way too easy from West Coast.

Only the second time this year the Eagles have lost a first quarter at home.
