Good comeback but it has to be said our fwd pressure has been non existent.

Hopefully we move past that and pile on some goals and get the points.

Why do we make it so hard for ourselves?

We've gone from being great on small grounds and average at the MCG, to average on small grounds and great at the MCG. We seem to struggle assessing distance on small grounds.

When you have your forward line hanging around the centre then you have problems on a few occasions players getting the ball around the wing but have to try and buy time because your forward line has been sucked up the ground then nothing will work, they fixed it up a bit in the back half of the quarter.

It still bewilders me that Hibberd is onthe bench as a sub when he is one of our best defenders. Plus he’s coming off 31 possessions last week at Casey. We need his foot skills desperately.

I have to have faith in the match committee, but he would have got the gig in front of Smith for mine.

Would love to see Melksham stand up this half and kick a few.

I remember that game in 2016. Old fashioned shoot out. Great battle between Goldy and Gawny. 2 champions it has to be said.

Lucky we’ve been accurate. I’ll take being 4pts down. Hopefully that end isn’t the scoring end and we are chasing down a lead in the last.

Ok first goal, hit the front then we go bang

[chook fowler 19,676]

Harmes and Salem look like they are playing school boy football. They don’t look interested and just cruising.

Seven goal quarter.

Need two more of them and hold them them to a couple and get a 10 + goal win.

Salem has looked a shell of himself for weeks.

Anyone know if we swung changes to counter Ford?

He was everywhere early on. Did we make a change or just lift our intensity?

76% on ground .

I’d say that’s low for him? I don’t know. 
Didn’t see him much in the centre bounce 

[dazzledavey36 55,473]

This was never going to be an easy game.

They've still pushed some quality sides this year regardless of result.

I would just be happy to take the win and no injuries.

This game is not fixed yet, we really need to stamp our authority on this quarter.

Little to no wind today, so should have zero impact

Interesting no excuse then I guess

Is anyone having issues with Kayo pausing and buffering. I'm getting a clear 100 Mbps on my internet connection and have absolutely zero issues whatsoever streaming with any other service except for Kayo.

Ugh Neal Bullen.
