Their D against our attack was always a tight contest. Their attack vs our D I felt they had a huge advantage. The only way I saw us winning this was midfield dominance. They have a lot of stars in there too, Parker, JPK, others... This game was always 50-50... Our inaccuracy is the key. 9 scoring shots to 15... we should be 3-4 goals up.

yes. they are winning in the midfield and kicking goals. there is a clear correlation between our dropping off in the middle and opposition team's getting a run on. we give so much space and good teams open that up. good teams also know how to counter that through leadership, which was non existent that quarter. it is the usual suspects spudding it up.

This has the hawthorn game all over it. huge third quarter.

Jones just jogged from half forward to half back in no mans land with no opponent as the ball shot passed him time and time again.

This sticks out to me to

they kicked 6.1 and found a concerning amount of space. if you're equating having more of the ball to them not tearing us apart you're delusional. That was a complete belting.

And we kicked 1.6. Had we gone 6.1 you would think it was pretty even

Can Goodwin coach under PRESSURE?

Gee wizz I thought you were overripe on the Gaff scenario. Goody can’t kick straight in front of goal for the players, he can’t get them to gut run back when needed, he can’t get them to find targets under zero pressure.

We can’t beat anyone in the 8. Flat track bullies

Agree. Don’t deserve it. 

How good is our midfeild going when a handball to the back of the head ends up with a shot on goal

Why does Tim Watson hate us so much?

Pederson has got to the right spots but has spilt the mark, or when he has won the ball takes to long to make a decision. Hibberd is going to be a big upgrade next week. Is hunt still carrying another injury? His pace has was a huge asset when defending with our zone to make a spoil. If the rain lets up i expect us to come back and be a tight finish. Getting and keeping momentum by finishing our work.

Was hoping to enjoy a few of these while watching the game...

Show some heart Dees.

Jones and Garlett, the great disappearing players. Modern day Houdinis, they are.

Can't wait for the rain to start bucketing down and make it impossible for us to play our preferred game and score enough to win.

14 points. It's still a game, come on Dees!

Big 3rd quarter coming up. Need jones oliver and some others to lift

We're really missing Melksham's disposal into our forward 50 and his ability to kick a clutch steadying goal. He better be right for next week regardless of what happens today.

if we'd laid even one tackle in the first 10 minutrs of round 23 2017 we might have won. ifs and buts. reality is pretty clear though. we're choking.

It’s not wrist slashing time yet - but it’s [censored] close

Been saying that since 5 minutes in. Classic case of a mature team that's aging, but still has plenty fo knowledge, and knows to beat a contested side you have to beat them at their game.

Bollocks.

If we make it, we deserve it.  No question about that.
