GAMEDAY : Rd 19 vs Western Bulldogs

[Diamond_Jim 11,941]

Forward efficiency keeping us ahead

That's a new one for us.

Long may it continue

[Dr. Gonzo 22,539]

Weathered the storm now let's finish them off

[Jaded No More 58,659]

Gawn is playing hurt and it’s honestly going to cost us in finals if he’s still not right.

Big second half coming up here, are we up for the fight and potential shoot out? We'll see. Come on Dees!

They have 2 days more break. That is worrying.

[Brownie 5,374]

Mmmm fitness?

I guess we'll find out this quarter.

We need to tighten up on those umps, they're running riot

Rarely wastes a possession.

Midfield to fire up here. Get it done Dees.

Milk will sort em out.

Umpires did all they could that quarter but the boys stood up. That knee in the ribs hurt Max. Jacko to play most of this quarter in the ruck.

[Gawndy the Great 7,643]

This game is not looking good for us. Yes we are in front but we are incredibly efficient in f50 which is weird and unusual for us.  Dogs owned us in that Quarter. 
 

We need to tighten up defensively. We need to kick at least 2-3 goals to win this game. Dogs will come really hard this quarter.

Play him forward for the high long ball. Need a big effort from the skipper

[Dr. Gonzo 22,539]

Melksham could've given one off to Kozzie instead of snapping from 40

[Deecisive 1,658]

may has to stop kicking the ball out to Max when English is there with him, he gets pushed out of the contest and english has longer reach, go around, find another avenue to move the ball on. we have so many returns to our kick ins because of the same thing. good finish to the quarter, but frankly they ran over us in that quarter thankfully they were kicking astray. we need to finish them off asap.

Choccy milk in the huddle?

[layzie 29,289]

Long 30 mins to go, feel there's still a lot of goals left in this one. 

[Stinger 417]

Hopefully the warmer NT game and shorter break doesn’t hurt us in the fourth….!!??? 😬😬😳

[monoccular 16,282]

Inside 50

-- M 36  -> 21 shots

- WB 46 -> 18 shots

Defensive pressure holding us in.

[dees189227 10,909]

Thought our defence held up pretty strong considering how much it went in there forward line.

We just need to get back to what we did right to get to 27 points up.

Come on Melbourne. We cannot drop this game.

[ElDiablo14 3,285]

Please keep their score under 100, don't want the streak to end!

But I bet nobody starts a 10 page discussion about how selfish he is. 

[Webber 10,178]

No signs of Gawny being hurt, he’s just getting beaten. Not sure where Dogga went that quarter??? Gotta even up at the contests or start winning, or they’ll just wear us down.

Actually think he’s been great until that huge knee on the back in the 3rd.

Which means there’ll be loads of chances on the counter.
