Happy so far.

There is more intelligence going forward which is good.

I'm also impressed with the Weed thus far. He seems to be clunking them thus far.

Weeds best half of footy (other than the complete miss from 35) for the club.  Very impressed and hope he can prove me further wrong in the 2nd half.  I reckon if he does we win this quite comfortably.

That was a shocking free. Both had eyes for the ball, AvB didn't leave the ground, Cripps put himself in that position. Absolutely shocking call that cost a goal

We’ve been a bit fortunate so far. We’re doing far better than I thought. Still I think this can turn against us really quickly. 

Unrelated, I’m having s lot of trouble posting here. Takes forever to load and often crashes.

The same people who said we weren’t a chance before the game are complaining that we’re not further in front. Classic Demonland. 

Yep.  One of the most infuriating things about this board, but it's probably true for most supporter bases.

We will revisit in a year or two Dazzle I have some doubts but …..??

Why people think it's a good thing to write off a kid 12 games into their career is beyond me.  Look at someone like James Harmes - he hardly set the world alight in his first 20-30 games, yet he's now a crucial part of our side.  Spargo is a kid with so much time on his side it's not even funny.  He has shown enough this season to suggest he can be a long term player for this club.  Why don't you get behind players for a change instead of cutting them down at every opportunity?

A lot on this site said as much but clearly he is the selectors Lurve child!

Yes, because selectors just queue up to select players who aren't up to it.

[trout 385]

Seriously we don’t have one forward at the moment you would feel confident about kicking a set shot goal.

IMo there’s plenty going right but clearly room to improve. Some critical misses late in the second (Petracca getting too close to the man on the mark was a shocker). But they really lifted in that quarter, they’re a huge second quarter side, and we didn’t just hold them but we won the quarter too. And one of their goals was the worst free kick you’ll ever see. 

It’s fair to call it as it is, they missed some chances, we missed some chances. Our whole year is a story of missed opportunities, I think it’s about time we actually took those chances. 

I agree with most people’s assessment of Spargo, he needs a big second half. Otherwise he can’t surive another week. I’m sure the coaches aren’t oblivious to it and will be giving him a rev up.

Same story though, wasteful bombing inside 50. Makes all our hard work even harder

Apparently he was reported for it as well.  Absolute joke.

[layzie 34,367]

Damn it I dared to dream for a second. Someone hit me

[spirit of norm smith 16,650]

Chances. We should be 5 goals up. 

Harmes. Jonesy. Tyson. Petracca. Weideman. All missed (2 points. 3 out of bounds). Excluding Petracca shot, all were 25 metres out. Please kick the goal. 

[Elwood 3184 1,362]

Darling ruled out so they don’t have Naitanui, Gaff and their two key forwards.

If we can find a way to lose to WCE in that situation then Port Adelaide or North Melbourne deserve to be in the finals ahead of us.

End of story.

 

[spirit of norm smith 16,650]

Wtf. Vandenburg went for the contest

 Not high not in the back. It was man on man. 

Submit a please explain somebody 

[Wiseblood 24,637]

Right, I'm logging off for another half.

I'll see you beautiful bastards at the end when we've won.

[SFebes 4,884]

+11 i50s again

[Demon_spurs 1,928]

Somehow T Mac needs to get into the game. Been quiet for a few weeks now

[—coach— 3,496]

Please kick this

 

edit: thank you

My god we are lucky Oliver plays for us.

[Gorgoroth 13,188]

Oliver is a star.

 

Great goal by Melksham, All Oliver in the lead up.

[Chook 15,023]

Oliver is supreme, and that was a great composed kick from Kent.

Exactly what we need.

[Purple77 1,014]

Moaned pretty loud there, at Clarry.

[dees189227 12,453]

Come on boys come out and kick the first few goals and shut this crowd up even more 

[Chook 15,023]

Weids doesn't look like he can kick very well. Any VFL experts know enough to say otherwise?

Hibbed just hurt his hammy
