Good finish to the qtr! Come on Dees smash them.

Kinda felt like Carlton played better that quarter.

What a damn shame they're 7 points down to show for it.

Our zone is starting to kick in. The Baggers were picking through us way too easily in the first 10 minutes.

I take it from the comments that BT is being BT. You can't go wrong with the mute button folks

7 points behind us with our slow starts = 20 points down against any other side.

We're going to roll these guys comfortably.

You can see with Chandler coming in why they prefer a settled side. Can't question his effort, but throws a bit of a spanner in the well-oiled machine. Unless I'm reading it wrong, they wanted Jones in for Melksham, and you can understand why.

Chandler is off the pace at the moment so I'll cut him some slack. You'd expect it'll take him a quarter or two to get in to a rhythm with the game and the team. The Gawn/Brown one was a shocker though.

Great mark from Weid at the end of the quarter, and great kick to TMac. 

The part missing for me is the voice from Brown on the first one and then other fwds for Chandler to stay down. 
Better voice all round and it’s 2 shots on goal or goals.

I love how we've finished, and paced games this year but gee we look a little slow out of the blocks. I hope it's not complacency. 

The Blues are NOT THAT BAD. They only lacked polish and experience against the Doggies, and we only just scraped past them last year (I know we are a different team know), so they should not be underestimated.

Yes we should beat them, yes we're a much better side, but these things often mean nothing. Got to keep up the pressure today.

Only stat her get all day

Good: May, Hunt, Langdon, Oliver.

Bad: Angus's kicking, Chandler.

Yep...two rookie errors there.  He'll learn but wouldn't want to make too many more this match

Yep - I swore at Gawn in the first instance but then thought maybe it was just a lack of player talk; Brown's job as the leading in forward to call Gawn in or out. Happy to apportion equal blame to two experienced players though.

Free to carlton when we were about to clear.

Why are we holding players off the ball?

 

FMD they are looking for the smallest holds at centre clearance. 

Centre clearances 3-5 by my count 

Geeze that passage deserved a goal at the end of it.

Good contest Petty!

Looks like the holding the ball correction starts today

So far Chandler is not filling me with any confidence

How is a push in the back deemed HTB? I hate these [censored] umpires. Fair dinkum!  

Ha ha
