Better but the dogs have the breeze in the 3rd so we need to keep the pressure up.

May has been magnificent for us. 

Fritta bounced back with a nice goal. 

Presuss finally doing what he had to do. He is taller and much more bigger than english. He needs to dominate those ruck contests and he started to hit it in the right spots.

Thank God for Viney and Langdon 

And May

We look the more dangerous side when we go forward, just need the midfield to lift, started to get going in that quarter 

Just now, leave it to deever said:

Pound for pound and inch for inch Fritta is a premier forward.

you are kidding

Once the clearances evened up that quarter, we comfortably had their measure. Dogs have an elite midfield so have to break even in this second half. In the arcs, Melbourne is clearly superior. 

Agreed. We need to start winning clearances. Do that and I think we will win comfortably. 
They are killing us when they get the easy clearance because they have so much speed they always have a man out.

We know which end is the scoring end. Smart move is to make Q3 a bog and play for the win in Q4. If we try to go head on in Q3, they will get a lead and then turn it into a bog in Q4 and we will lose.

Langdon very good. Very fast.

I think after today’s game it’s time to rest Pickett and bring in Bennell to play small forward. Pickett doesn’t give us enough. 

His 2nd half would want to be pretty good to stay in.  Depending how they go in this 2nd half it could be Bedford for Picket and Harley for Harmes (if the FD deem him fit enough).

Trenners on Open Mike will be worth a watch.

Interesting Open Mike coming 

I it is always a worry with Pickett, Spargo and Hannan in the same side. They all are very low possession players 

time to turn up the pressure on the doggies and win this game.

Spargo has offered nothing except 1 good tackle

Umps ❌ 

Bulldogs mids on top - losing inside contest ❌

Spargo and Pickett not effective❌
 

Defence ✅
May Preuss Langdon our best ✅

Agreed. He isn’t soft. He just can’t kick.

Yep.

Won't argue that he could have laid a better tackle on English in the first term, but he's had 8 kicks to go with 6 marks and a goal.  Plays his role for the team perfectly.

I reckon TMac is playing his guts out and going OK. He was the player chasing the Bulldogs player who was penalised for running too far.

needs to stop hitting it out wide (mostly to doggy outliers so far).... just dump it in close and let our boys do what they do best and muscle it from the inside to the out.

Kossie and Spargo, all they need to do this quarter is apply relentless pressure, keep it in the forward line

My heart breaks watching him. What a monumental [censored] up, one of many, by this club.

Which both did do in that second term.  Their pressure might not come up as stats, but they have been better as a game has gone on.

If they can hit the scoreboard in the second half it will be a massive bonus!

Steven May is showing why we so despately needed him. we wouldn't be in this game without him. 

it's the opposite of our usual games, we aren't winning the contest, or inside 50's but we look really efficient and winning the game. 

backing us in, but we need to take our chances.
