Joel Smith has been absolutely Fantastic 

Agreed. Absolutely brilliant. 

[BDA 22,759]

Miraculously only 4 points down at half time.

I hope Goody peels the paint off the walls at half time. 

[leave it to deever 17,511]

Trac really lifted there.

Kozzie awesome.

Max good quarter.

Lowering the eyes.

Good stuff.

It ain't been pretty but it's game level. Momentum with us.

[dees189227 12,394]

Ok much better Melbourne. Only 4 points down. Definitely would have taken that at quarter time. 

The thing is we know we can play better and hopefully nth have already played there best.

A lot of soiled pants in this thread

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

Best kick for goal I’ve seen from JVR.

I wasn’t sure he had the distance, especially on tired legs but that was clutch.

[layzie 33,865]

[Garbo 1,539]

Always like this down there, that end has all the scores. Next qtr they just need to go defensive and counter punch them in the last with the wind

[Buzzy 992]

I believe our best strategy in the second half is to keep it away from Harmes at all costs. 

[dazzledavey36 55,004]

Good fight back lads. Knew we had that in us.

They'll start the tire out as the game goes on.

Get our running power back on we'll be fine.

[dee-tox 4,835]

My God, Harmes is useless.

Well done Kozzie, Chandler, Viney, Smith and Langdon.

[DubDee 25,923]

relax guys

we got this

[Vipercrunch 2,827]

Umpiring is embarrassing.  I’ve watched more footy this weekend than I have for a while and I had actually begun to hope the umpiring had turned the corner.  That was an illusion obviously.

[McQueen 17,865]

A big second half of 12 possies for Riv and two more goals to Petty and Melky and I’ll be $2500 richer.

Harmes is so far out of our best 23 it's not funny. Should've been dropped after last week, and definitely should after this performance.

Salem living on 2021 credits too.

So what does that say about our development or selection @

[Chook 15,013]

Salem, Sparrow, Jordan, Rivers, Harmes all might as well have had Kangaroo jumpers on for the first quarter.

Good effort from the rest of the team to carry those blokes.

He needs to. The issue with this is you start believing you don't have to turn up at the start. So much of footy is between the ears.

[DubDee 25,923]

Kozzi will haunt Zeibells dreams

[Wells 11 5,408]

Quite a few look a long way off it today. Kozi , Max, Chin , Viney keeping us in it. Geez Harmes looks a shadow of himself tho… it’s sad to see him like this. I think this is the last we’ll see of him. 

[Devil In Disguise 2,278]

I'm still angry with that soft 50 to Goldstein which cost us a goal. Putrid umpiring not giving us anything.

You're saying we should keep out of Harmes way?
