He’s the most selfish bloke out there.

Wasn’t expecting this. Good effort but we really need to put the pressure on this quarter. This lead is way too easy for them to overcome.

Thank [censored] they called against cuntington. He is usually given a longer tether than most

To be fair, that’s the first time we have bothered to tackle him today.

[Bang Bang Bang 5,875]

That is seriously one of the best goals I've ever seen from Kozi in that quarter. Not overly flashy but the work rate was absolutely insane.

And usually dives forward for the "in the back" when he knows he's done.

Jake Melksham has made me nearly put my fist through a window at least 7 times today.

Can't stand the [censored]

He delivered three balls on the chest that quarter. Not had a great game but it's clear he's better forward of centre. He's trying to create.

[layzie 34,528]

Much better quarter Melbourne. Worked our socks off and levelled up the contest ball. Gives us a fighting chance. Luke Jackson more than did his job in those centre bounces. Hasnt been a good one from Maxy but a big last quarter will suffice.

Tom McDonald has been good for us since he went back.

Good move by Goodwin there.

Goodwin talks about playing your role and sticking to your structures, but he gives this guy a free ride. The mind boggles.

You and me both.

My North-supporting mate put $100 on them at 14:1. Not looking like a bad investment right now...

Let’s hope we both have no clue what we’re talking about.

His work rate was amazing for that goal. Cyril-esque. Was worried the criticism this past week would have hurt him but he's responded.

Brayshaw gone down into the rooms to find his brain 

[Demon_spurs 1,984]

Baker Ok that quarter too

[McQueen 17,867]

[GCDee 3,202]

First goal super important. We get it and I think they give up and it'll blow out.

Next few weeks it gets tough. The fairy tale was never going to last all season 

We are now being Hunted. 

Speaking of Hunt...he has been totally Mia.

One kick....ZERO tackles.

With Jv out and Oliver having a quiet day it has a huge impact.

Thankyou Fritta and Kozzie and Langdon and Trac.

[dazzledavey36 56,342]

Anyone know what happened to Brayshaw??

[Lil_red_fire_engine 11,383]

Some half time moves and an increase in work rate and we look a lot better. Great to see the kids in Koz and LJ lead the way. Now surely they dont come back out on their heels thinking its done? Surely...

Melksham’s role is to kick accurately 

He did well that quarter. Helps us get back into the game

Not quite as good, but similar in a way to Farmer's Goal of the Century. Took possession in theback half and gave and received all the way until a goal was scored.

[Jaded No More 68,976]

Fully expecting North to come out firing and red hot to win this. 

We are still trash in the clearances. Sort this out and we win. Otherwise this will go down to the wire.

His helmet is on too tight I think.

C'mon dees don't lose this one. Jackson got them back in the game Gawn has been putrid. Thank god for Kossie

He's not a mid fielder that's for sure.  High HF kicking inside for the hit ups is about it.  Doesn't pressure without ball and when it's on the ground good luck.  I'm not sure a team can carry that one major asset long term.  Or can they?

Indeed. ?

(I think it's going to take a few good years to get rid of my deeply ingrained pessimism when it comes to the Dees.)
