Effort is there.

 

Just some polish and we can absolutely win this.

Surprised they're not finding a way to pay frees against us. 

Unbelievable eh

There's that last-second goal concession that we all knew was coming… 

I spoke too soon. He's missed it. He's missed everything. That's very big for our confidence (mine at least) that we go in ahead at the break.


It’s amazing how Dangerfield can scoop / throw out the ball right in front of an umpire and it’s play on.

Think we will loose this unfortuanlty, have all the footy but kicking behinds and kicking it with pinpoint accuracy to their defenders

My gut feel is similar. It has the makings of one of those games. The Port game, The North game last year, hell even the Freo game in 2002 where we led slightly at half time and Farmer daggered us on the siren.

Man I hope I'm wrong

Yet we can handball...and get pinged for throwing !!

It's the Belmont effect !! ?

Or how Tuohy can fend off a tackler, turn 180 degrees, take a step and then get nailed and he's had no prior opportunity. 


Considerable difference in interpretation on tackles. Shame the umpires can't mute the crowd sound

Joel Selwood hasn't started ducking yet.

 Harmsie hasnt let him

Keep the effort up and can win.


We are still long bombing into the forward 50. Doesn't work on the narrow Geelong ground. LOWER THE EYES!

Belmont? But I agree interesting what Danger gets away with and the snickey ruck nomination in front of goal was a classic. We just have to be aware that they are sly bastards. Rule needs to be changed. 

Harmes to Danger or Lewis to injure him. Pick an option.

Being the usual enigma that he is 

I feel like I haven’t even seen him at all.. not injured or anything? 


We need to keep the effort and we're a chance. Try to go through the middle more and take our chances. Do we move Harmes onto Danger or keep Selwood under control?

Hate mentioning it...does Chunk EVER look where he's kicking ?? Ffs ...kills momentum and effort

 

Loving the effort, loving the pressure and loving the fact that, in hostile territory, we are more than serving it up to the enemy.

We are right in this contest, and if we can keep the scoreboard pressure up then a win is there for the taking!

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.
