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.

    Bfs

    Was innocuous and off the ball, never gets paid...

    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

    Edited by Chook

     

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
