Unfortunately May is getting taught a lesson by Daniher. 

He really got going that quarter.

Their half backs are just clearing it way too easily. 

Doesn't help when Spargo, Anb, Melksham and Pickett offer zero defensive pressure. 

Could have had 4 that quarter Daniher. Got off the chain

Glad to see the negative trolls are back after losing that quarter.

Sorry but what was positive about that slop? It was insipid.

Goodwin has the team stinking it up.  He is all talk. 

As opposed to you, on an internet forum.

You’d think we are playing a division 3 team, not a premiership contender. 

Fair point. But we played pretty poorly for thirty mins 

Let's hope we reset like the first thirty.

Positives: McVee is sensational.

Tracc kicking straight.

BBB decent target.

[ANG13 2,063]

If we can reset after half time like the Lions did after qtr time where still well in this. Need our midfielders to lift.

Backs have no hope the way the ball is sling shotting back from our half forward line straight through the corridor. Our ball entry into our 50 is slow, predictable and inaccurate and just comes straight out again. We refuse to use the full width of the ground just kicking back into traffic inviting a turnover.

It was a very good team playing better than us. They are a really really good team and we don’t have our best player or our best forward.

Are you at the game this week Steve, or still in Europe complaining that Melbourne supporters don't turn up to games, and in the same breath lauding how important Collingwood's crowd is to their arousal levels?

Can't help being overseas for work, would be there every week at the G if I was home. Having a great time over here though thanks. 

Nice way of dodging the question! 

Look forward to your response.

Hope we start the 3rd quarter the same we started the 1st term

[Red But Mostly Blue 4,547]

Few of our quieter guys need to get involved, or involved again. Melk quiet, Kozzie dunno, still looks out of it aside for a nice goal and a good run or two. Could have had another I reckon. Maybe we’ll see more of him in the second half. We’ll need it. Can we please man up when the ball leaves our forward 50???

Those don’t account for being so weak at the contest

[Jaded No More 68,915]

The defense fell apart with Petty off. I hope they injected him really well. We need him!

[At the break of Gawn 4,460]

Best thing Fagan ever did was get rid of Rich. All of a sudden Lions aren’t exposed in the back half for lack of leg speed.

[McQueen 17,864]

Melksham is dangerous tonight. 
 

Kick a goal ffs Jakey!

We are winning the contested possessions and clearances 

They are spreading and hitting targets much better 

[YearOfTheDees 3,266]

Need to lock the ball in our forward 50, their getting it out to easy and that's here the run is coming from. Bot we really need to hit passes the number that drop short or go over the leading players head is killing us.

I was going to wait until the end of game to go there personally; but gees Brisbane look a much better side.

[layzie 33,805]

Got a half to get it right, Go Dees!

Smart coaching from Fagan, drag May away from goals.

[Roy Boy 373]

One thing I know we are the experts at giving up a late quarter goal.

Playing ok, just got to man up when they switch sides, their run is killing us.

[Monocology 1,109]

We all wanted Spargs to find his '21 form again, turning players inside out etc. but we just have not seen it for far too long now. Has trained his [censored] off, just mikes off it now.

Opened up like a can of worms.

Wings are vulnerable.

Our bottom six are getting exposed for skill deficiencies. 

Can't defend the corridor.

Howes in for Hunter??

[Stiff Arm 4,419]

It will be a good day when we can develop a smallish forward who can run hard all game like Nibbler, tackle like Nibbler, but make good decisions, kick well and not fumble below the knees constantly. So frustrating
