GAMEDAY: Rd 08 vs Sydney

[Cards13 9,117]

3 times this qtr we’ve have easy rooms into the fwd 50 for zero goals.

Petty started well but looks spent coming into half time.

2 arsey swans goals from blind Melbourne handballs in the last line of defence.
But we have to start winning it in the centre or we won't win this match.

McDonald, Hibberd, May, Oliver, Langdon, Jackson all good this quarter.

The rest have a long way to go.

Fritsch is playing a shocker

[Gunna’s 2,107]

FMD. Langdon should’ve had a kick in front. Umpires are woeful

[david_neitz_is_my_dad 4,084]

Should have 4 more goals on the board #themelbourneway

[Gunna’s 2,107]

Why are our marks at the end of the slide but every other teams at the start?

[Coobs 174]

Petty would lose a contest against a traffic cone on exposed form.

Lift Fritsch

It's gonna be a slugfest for a while

Holding Sydney to 3 goals till halftime....gotta be happy with that.

[Gorgoroth 13,211]

Lots need to lift.

We can win this, just gotta speed the game up and open the f50.

[dees189227 12,508]

I feel like we should be up by more. But we did look better that quarter

[Chook 15,058]

Started to dominate in that second quarter. Could very well have been another 4 goals up. Torched about 3 gimme goal opportunities.

[Alex Flood 245]

If Weideman kicks a bag tomorrow he has to be an automatic replacement for Petty.

[layzie 34,527]

Will take that any day of the week getting pantsed in clearances.

Geez we've left a few out there

[Jaded No More 68,976]

Sydney are such a bore. I would hate to support such a boring team. I hate playing them for this exact reason. They grind you down. 
Missed too many opportunities in front of goal. Should be 4 goals up.

You know they play at opposite ends of the ground right?

[Gunna’s 2,107]

It’s a tough slog. Swans are 4th for good reason. They’ve got good scalps already this year. We need to get better at clearances and kicking into f50. It’s slippery, so hopefully our fitness allows us to get that separation and take uncontested marks to maintain possession. 
looking forward to a big 2nd half

I thought that game was postponed - hopefully they do play and Weed plays a blinder
