Watching this at a sports bar in Hoi An Vietnam. Tiger on tap. Awesome 👌 

I'll be flying over your head  (Nha Trang back to Hanoi; le tour de in-laws) about 30mins after the game finishes. Sometimes even a flight delay is favourable, although listening through a mobile in a packed airport waiting area isn't ideal!

    It was a push, totally stupid and unnecessary by Langdon.

    I thought it was a push live but didn't think it would get called. It was hands on the back but he barely gave him any momentum.

    We can thank Tom Hawkins for that one not being a goal

    Are TMac and Weed just decoy forwards these days?

    Clearances a huge concern.

    If Harmes is running with Coniglio he is getting thrashed.

     

    5 disposals and two marks combined. Pretty poor.

    Need to lift, claw back some clearances. It's feeling like last year only we have the slender lead this time.

    Let’s be honest if there wasn’t a big uproar in the media about Hawkins push in the back then that would never be paid

    Langdon tiny push in the goal square.
    BS free.

    It deserved to be paid just out of langdons stupidity alone. Like what on earth was he thinking. That coupled with Mcdonald holding on to their ruckman's arm in the ruck contest and Harmes kicking into the man on the mark are some of the dumbest plays I've see this year. 

    Another game that will be neck and neck until deep into the 4th because we couldn't ice the game sooner.

    But it made 0 difference to the goal going through so why does it need to be paid? Makes no sense.

    Because pushing a player in the back is dangerous.

    Happens multiple times in every game and is never paid.

    Giants always pick off Gawns taps.he needs to hit onto the outside. 

    If you are tallkimg punching it any angle towards goal over the top of the inner ring of players.....Yup!!

    Also Clarry and Tracc need to handball to outside preferrably Lingers side so he can run on to it.  All these 2 to 4 foot hand balls, even Viney is guilty,  bringing the heat on us around the ball and too easy for the Giants to get a hand in and steal or spoil.

    Go further / wider and changle lanes pls

    Took me a minute .... But you're right.

    Getting out worked, out tackled, disposals either just behind or making the player prop.

    They have prob 7 smothers, heaps of shepherds, think we have 0 of both.

    Because you can't push people in the back anywhere on the field.  Free kick

    GWS have brought the heat. not sure if we have faced much heat so far this year, dogs?

    They have but I think we’ve handled it well, only difference being that’s the Giants best and we’re running at about 75-80%. That Kosi non handball to Fritsch was effectively a two goal turn around.


    Lever ismoving fine in the warm ups thankfully. Let’s do him a favour and not let the ball ping down there quite so frequently, hey Clarry?

     

    edit: Autocorrect

    We aren’t playing very well, and should still be 6-7 goals up if not for poor umpiring. GWS really are hopeless. Without umpire assistance they’d probably be about 10 points.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
