easier to lead when they're not being bombed in.

True but it’s a bit of both sometimes. Lower the eyes and find the kick but make the lead so they have something to kick to as well. 

[Jaded No More 57,785]

Need to compose ourselves and get the win. They are a man down so we must capitalize. 

[dees189227 10,755]

Ok we still have the lead. We just need to go back to what we did well in the 1st half. Hold on Melbourne we can win this. WE have lead and dominated all night. 

[Red But Mostly Blue 3,661]

I hope the missed chances don't cost us.

We need to come out with a quick goal.

JKH has to go at year's end. 

Some of these blokes like JKH and HANNAN have come from long injury layoffs, need a bit of slack.

[monoccular 16,042]

They better PTFO or they will get rolled 

Wasteful shots on goal that quarter

Come on Dees!!

[layzie 28,698]

Should have a 5 goal lead really. 

[Pates 9,536]

We had chances to kill the game in that quarter and failed to finish our work. But although I feel like the umpiring has been pretty average both ways, Harmes is being held at almost every contest but it keeps getting ignored. So many times he was clear and the hold just gave the crows the chance. 

[Brownie 5,171]

Dominating this game and we're 2 goals in front.

Hope we click back into 2018 mode again in the last

[leave it to deever 15,317]

Tom lynch with 11 marks.

Havent had a player in our team take double digit marks for eons.

Trac good effort with 7.

Oliver and Viney quiet that qrt. 

Good to see the boys prop and look b4 going inside 50.

Good signs from Baker.

[dees189227 10,755]

Hunt should not have missed that goal and Jeffy needs to lift. 

[BenF 56]

Some of those decisions were just terrible

[Deecisive 1,651]

another quarter like that last and we will lose this. we should be 6-8 goals up. i am not a fan of the zoning, it works when the opposition makes mistakes but when they dont they get a free run into their forward line.

[Mickey 4,173]

WC game all over again? Hope not...

Are you being serious?

Just a coup,e of minutes ago i i heard the ABC radio commentators giving him a big wrap. Yuo know, paid objective observers 

Doing his job. Again. Laid a couple of crunching tackles late in the lst quarter too which should satisy his critiics who think he is not aggressive enough

Watch with your eyes not your confirmation bias. 

He's been average. With all the good work, there are still some pretty basic and recurring problems (such as losing sight of his player at crucial moments). I'm nowhere near as harsh on him as other people are here, but with the players coming in it's a legitimate question to ask.

JKH's disposals are garbage.

I know some here are commending his efforts, and yeah sure he's trying, I just wish he'd hit one of our guys on the chest, or even within 5 metres.

He is like a rabbit in headlights. That kick in2 the man on the mark - it was waist high. Earlier in the game had a snap from 35 & it fell 10 short. He lacks penetration with his kicking ways has. People criticise Spargo ' s kicking but Spargo is a better kick.

25 degrees with 60% relative humidity... who knows who will last but fitness is not exactly our strong point

[layzie 28,698]

It is a worry that Clarry drops off a bit and our contested ball rate goes into the bin

Agree to an extent, mostly Hannan as he has some record. But I'm forgetting when JKH was ever good? My recollection is that he was always fringe, struggled to get a game, and when he did, he usually spent his time coughing up the ball with garbage disposals. And that's what he's doing on his return - Seems pretty consistently poor to me. But I'm happy for someone to show me the JKH highlight reel. I'm seriously open to having my mind changed.

[Leoncelli_36 2,264]

Serious question , why does Viney always try the blind underground handball out of backs. Just take the tackle and force a ball up

Yep, needs help to break the Gibbs tag. Blocking, etc.

[Demonland 64,761]

Our forwards can get manhandled but you can't breathe on theirs. 

[Buzzy 929]

p*ss off Oscar, jesus christ.  That was an easy spoil FFS

[Demonland 64,761]

OMac getting killed tonight.
