Harmes gave them momentum. 

Seriously dumb footballer. He literally had to kick it in front of Melksham and completely missed him by 20m.

By 20 m more like 50 he just lacks composure in critical times.

And throw a punch.

It would be better towards the opposition though.

Evidence as to why Harmes is my least favourite player. 

 

Has too man brain fades sadly. Can be costly

Still worth his place though, hopefully he picks up form again

[Ted Lasso 17,127]

Harmes is having a stinker so send him to run with smith now I reckon. 
 

i reckon the dogs are playing really well tonight so if we beat them it should be seen as a good sign of a return to form.

Let's see a 3rd qrt replay please.

[david_neitz_is_my_dad 3,946]

Josh Bruce done nothing 

[Dr. Gonzo 22,629]

C'mon Demons big 2nd half

Weid was good in the 1st but went missing in the 2nd. Needs a big 2nd half

It's a tough call bw who is Better....Lever or Petty.

 

Petty is better one on one. Lever is better at reading the play. Both are elite defenders. 
Petty will be an AA defender soon.

Lots of positives, but Salem still a concern.

Great to Sparrow having a decent game, he was pretty ropey last week.

I agree.  Salem has completely lost confidence. Three weeks in a row.

Don't tempt fate! Haha

[Stiff Arm 4,415]

Weid kicks 2 in Q1 and then spends most of Q2 on the pine

Huh???

[Gawndy the Great 7,720]

This game will come down to fitness. If we get it out to 30pts I’d expect it to be shutdown, but that is unlikely. 
 

Dogs will come out revved up.

As we chalked up at 27 point lead we were on our way to winning another clearance out the middle and a tiny bit of Hollywood crept in as Trac handballed to a marked Clarry and then somehow the Dogs got a quick goal. Another instance Gus takes a brilliant saving mark and scuffs his short pass. And then we get the howler of a Harmes kick. I felt the Dogs got back those last two because of our errors.

It's a shoot out, we don't want one but that's what it is. We're doing OK but the Dogs have shown they can score and score quickly, we have some work to do to get this done and we have got to find another way to score other than centre clearance and we need more sustained periods on top.Must tighten up through the corridor in transition defending, their quick chaining through the middle is getting some results.

Hopefully we start the 3rd with a sustained period locking the ball in our 50 then score a cheeky goal. 

[Deecisive 1,663]

it been a pretty good game so far, we have played some good football, but been a bit lax at time. I think we need to do more about when the opposition kicks in. we do not put pressure on the player kicking in we let them run and bounce the ball and gain another 40 meters. by that time they are kicking over our players heads. I wonder if harmes was trying to kick the goal rather than pass it. we are doing pretty well, time to come out and do what we do in the second half kick away, add some percentage so that we can take back top spot

[Jaded No More 59,149]

Need a big third quarter. Come on guys grannie repeat. 

[wizardinoz 2,081]

No surprise Dogs leading the free kicks. Both quarters we let them in for late goals.

[ANG13 1,590]

I think we play better at Marvel than the MCG. Salem looks like he’s struggling with what is role is at the moment.

Still getting back up to speed, he spent a long time out

[Deecisive 1,663]

i do wish sparrow and Jordan would move the ball on quickly after taking a mark. they seem to ignore short passes that look a certaintly and go down the line to a contest.we play some of our best footy when we move the ball fast.

We are seeing a different game tonight. Faster ball movement  creates scoring opportunities but we are being exposed a lot on the turnover. 

.. as are the Bulldogs

Second half of 3rd Q anyway, and of course the fourth

[dees189227 11,016]

Seriously what has Harmes done tonight?

Weid not sighted that quarter. 

But it was a good quarter. Just can't let the dogs back in it.

So it's only 1/2 time and we have already outscored last nights pathetic score. 

Gee doesn't Fritta love playing against the dogs.

Have we ever played them when they don’t get at least double our frees?

[The Swimming Dee 1,862]

Melksham has been very good. We are dominating. Just need to slow up their movements forward
