Won that quarter I thought.

Umpires providing a 2 goals per quarter advantage to the tigers.

Turnovers will mean we loose the game.

We’ve done pretty well so far. Good tactics. 

O Mac and lever good at the back. 

Trac disposing well. 

Keep it up lads!!

Viney gives his all on the park no issues there.  Maybe it's just me but gives the appearance at times that he just isn't emotionally connected/invested all that much to his fellow players.  Like he is playing in a bit of a bubble at times.  Or is it that he just isn't enjoying himself much anymore?

Probably just my imagination ?

Well then, I wasn't expecting that; "that's ruck craft big boy" has now been applied to Preuss as well.

Both rucks are giving each other a cuddle and trying to feel the cotton count of the Guernseys.

Stupid [censored].

Holding, holding. Is this how they want to get rid of tackling? Simply call everything holding and pay rubbish free kicks.

Not sure why they did the car draw at quarter time. No incentive for Melbourne fans to stay now. Should have done it at 3/4 time and gave it to the only idiot who is still at the match. “You sir, you are still here, you’ve suffered enough, have a car”

Prues can't mark and gives frees away every time he goes up in the ruck . He is nearly unplayable

Viney's handball to Max along the boundary would have seen him dragged and benched for a quarter in the old days. He wins the ground ball, panics, and handballs to Gawn, who is on his wrong side, and has to kick a checkside on his right side, into traffic, leading to the ball dribbling out of bounds. Melksham rightly lost his [censored].

Does anyone else notice how often our players find themselves on their wrong side? What are we doing wrong? The turnovers almost always follow over-use, one or two handballs too many in traffic, leading to a quick kick almost directly to an opposition player. Nothing changes.

That was an okay first quarter but Richmond is playing in first gear. Once they put the foot down they are going to absolutely [censored] this in. They don't even try and they waltz through the corridor. We win the ball back, have space, but no one utilises it. We flood to our own disadvantage. 

Scoreless for 20 minutes... we are such a strong team

On which planet is that not a high free kick to Viney?

Viney initiated the contact by leaning down to try to pick up the ball. PLAY ON!!!!!!!

I just wish we knew what a shepherd was.

It’s his drop off in intensity. He used to be an uncontrollable ball of intensity and aggression. It’s basically disappeared to the point of appearing laconic at times. Hopefully it returns, as it’s really his only outstanding attribute. He’s an average player otherwise.

We did alright that quarter. Should be a closer loss than expected.

Gee you think they would strap Olivers finger...tough.

Sooooo, the lesson here is don't pick up the ball?

I also like hiw we paid big prices for intercept player and then we dont trust them to do their job and send up multiple player to spoil them
