This goal kicking situation is bizarre. Is there a gusty wind up there we don’t know of? 

McDonald missing basically means we are in for the worst day of goal kicking ever. 

Intent is good but we look messy

Goal kicking aside, that was a relatively positive first term.  

I think what stood out was the pressure.  Apart from their first goal we worked much better as a defensive unit and stifled any run that players like the Hill brothers, Walters, Matera etc could give them.  Hogan had a ripper first term, Trac worked hard and Stretch has really given us something on a wing.

No doubt our goal kicking needs to see some major improvement for the rest of the evening, but other than that it's been pretty good so far.

Tha ball looks like it is covered in Vaseline- i like that they changed tack and started running it rather than kicking.

Ok now even Tom McDonald is missing. It's panic stations now people.

It's always panic stations for most round here.

Nothing can incite our finals capabilities at this point.

i(g)nite?

The ball is a bar of soap by the looks of it. There’s hardly been a clean possession from anyone. Our defending has been heaps better - they can’t get it out of half back.

This game should already be over though, but of course we lead by the 9 behinds we kicked. If there’s a five minute lapse, Freo kick away.

Come on Melbourne. Bury them so I can bloody relax a bit please.

Means players will be trying to run it in to 30m or 5m... and not even add to the score....

They'll kick a goal before 1/4 time. 

I thought for sure Brad Hill would latch on to that one in the goalsquare on quarter time. It must be our night…

Nice one, DJ.  A real knee slapper.  

Hating the height of the TV camera's. Too low to the ground. Should be much higher for a better view. THIS MUST BE THE LAST GAME AT THIS VENUE. Even more cheering for a Freo goal that a D's goal. Grrrr  

Poor kicking is bad football.

 Lyon will have worked out our game by now and Goody won't have a response, you watch. 

Their ruckman is massive

That contest annoyed me no end as four... FOUR... players went up against one Freo player, while their smalls almost swooped on the spillage.  Thank goodness for the siren.

Ah. Step out to put 3yo to bed and come back to 2.9

just had an up chuck

would rather freo win 8.2 to 2.25 and I collect at 7:1

 

ANB is the luckiest player ever and he better kick this goal.  He had a player running on the outside, ignored it and then got tackled.  Thankfully Razor is on hand to look after him.  Dumb play.... and he missed the goal as well.  Jesus.

A razor Ray special goes our way. 

That feels like our 1st 50 metre penalty in about a month. Surely I must have missed some (I didn't watch the last quarter last week out of disgust.)

ANB…ugh.

Holy hell. Can we just kick a set shot?

We can’t even kick gift goals ffs

This game should be over.

4 points in a row...

 

Cmon 

 

 

McDonald should have been able to look up there to see hogan streaming toward him from the goalsquare. It's not hard Melbourne.
