Will take that finish to the half any day of the week. We are getting skinned on the outside at the moment.

I cannot figure out why they are bouncing off so many tackles, we're winning the tackle count but there just isn't enough wrapping up.

To win this we will probably need to make it a score from clearances game. I'm on level 4 on the Wing so have a very good view of structure and setup. Kozzie was in the middle for the first bounce and no others. His pace at ground level can't be ignored, it WILL give them problems. Get him in there more for the love of God. 

And note to  opposition teams match day entertainment. No one cares for the are you paying attention thing, I'm trying to write this.

    It’s too risky to activate the sub this early. If we cop an injury we are in trouble. 
    They won’t make the change until late in the third at the earliest.

    Can someone explain why they think Kossie should be a midfielder?

    Because he wins the footy, pressures the opposition and is a decent kick going inside 50.

    Can you explain why he shouldn't be?

    Tigers are playing very good footy. Unfortunately Harmes missed those two shots at goal - he kicks those and his game looks very different. As it is he is worst on ground.

    Hunter is having a mare. 

    I feel like we got sold a dud here. I thought he was a much better player

    Oooof what a mess.

    61pts against us, so far, in a half. Our backline is a mess and has been for a while. What happened to our fortress?

    Typical for us to serve this [censored] after port and the lions open up an avenue to second place. 

    And what the hell was that from Gus??

    Kozzie back in the middle, just get Harmes to tag somebody, best use we can get from him, and EVERYBODY PULL THEIR FINGERS OUT and stop giving them cheap goals.

    The fortress is exhausted from saving their ars#s time after time week after week.

    It is inevitable

    And you forgot one important thing. He has PACE

    Without Clarry and Sparrow we are very one dimensional. Gus, Viney and JJ aren’t fast.

    If it went south he might be in jail.

    No “might” about it. Very serious charges, and previous form. Have there been any other examples of someone playing who’s out on bail?

    45 metres out on the run.  Players free and …

    miskick to tigers player. Ffs !!!

    He has been so slow all day.

     


    Kozzie won the first few centre clearances at the start of the match then goody put him in the forward line. 

    He creates something 

    We have to get on top in the contest. The only way to beat the Richmond chaos ball, is to get your hands on the ball more and first.

    Also because we are struggling for options in this department.

    Must get on top in the middle. If we invite too many defensive entries they are going to stuff us.

    Richmond kaos ball going i50 is showing up May and Lever, who both cannot bend over to get the ball. Their small/med forwards tearing up up

    Very damm simple he has no tank put him in for a full quarter and that's him, great speed in short bursts and sometimes that's how some players are, then they become a liability sooner him stay inside the 50 metre arc more dangerous.

    Melksham really struggles to play more than one good game in a row. Now it's three. Chandler only one good act. Jvr has been okay but needs to hold more marks.

     

    Tigers are desperately playing for their finals chances. We really have to step up in the second half. 

    Well this is the quarter we will see if we want a flag more than these pretenders want to scrape into the eight.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
