GAMEDAY: QF vs Brisbane

We have to come out firing. If we have a good third quarter it’s done. But if we let them get back in the hunt it could be costly. They absolutely can kick a big score on us as shown by the first quarter.

Lions form coming into this game was a mirage. they are a better than average team and not much more

That’s a very very risky comment, tempting fate. They get some momentum, and things can change. Hopefully not…

Great quarter lads, keep it up let’s put the foot on their throat this quarter. Oliver has been unreal. Hasn’t quiet clicked for Trac. I’m betting he turns it around and has a massive second half.  Go dees

we know we came back from bigger margins, and the lions will know a 15minute slip from the dees like we did against Geelong gets them back into the game. So the Lions will come out hard this quarter to try to turn it around. we need to stand tall and extend that lead, we need to starve them of chances and impact their confidence around the ball and goal. Go Dees

That was some kind of half from Oliver, far and away BOG. Some better play from his teammates and we could be further in front. 

Some of my thoughts are:

- we got the game on our terms that quarter, we were able to set up and prevent them from having any of the goals out the back they had in the first quarter 

- Oliver and the midfield got much better at winning second and third balls, clearances wise they still seem to be better but we’re working harder

- we had a period where the ball was camped in our forward 50 but it took a while to get the goal, it was crucial we got that reward for effort otherwise I could’ve seen some frustration brewing

- inaccuracy has cost us from having the game very close to put to bed. Petracca x2 was the most frustrating and TMac missing his one chance after having a quiet game was annoying in particular

- third quarter is huge here because we let them get a sniff get ready for a tough final quarter. 

- them constantly winning the centre clearances is concerning and I really hope something is done about it

I hope this ‘reset’ mentality is applied to quarters. 
Need to refocus and smash them this second half. 🔴🔵

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
