GAMEDAY: Rd 04 vs Adelaide

[Brownie 6,025]

Interesting watching May. He's brilliant, but needs time to recover. 

If we can get it clear and there's repeat efforts he's going to struggle.

Can we sneak him out there with a green whistle down his jocks?

[ElDiablo14 5,011]

Can Max hit out to our advantage?

[chook fowler 19,675]

McVee 11 disposals 

[CHF 2,805]

We have not got out of second gear in that quarter with not a lot of work or cover out of our midfield. Defence is standing tall with May just amazing with the game he has played so far. I hope he holds up.

gave away that late goal which is a bummer but generally not too bad given our lack of pressure and lack of drive from the middle.

I expect us to step up in this quarter and get the game on our terms.

No panic. play our game.

[leave it to deever 17,559]

Last week's game was almost finals like.

I fear we are flat

Just what the Afl wanted.

Five day break after that game is a joke .

[DaveyJones'sLocker 647]

Getting belted in clearances and inside 50s 

really pathetic display so far 

[At the break of Gawn 4,460]

Midfield getting smashed again just like against Port. Surely we’re due to turn this around?

[The heart beats true 18,178]

Gotta start winning the ball at the source more. It’s that simple really.

They were always going to come out firing

7 shots to 2 and we are 5 points down 

i’ll take that!

Though Adelaide inside 50 is dreadful. Low quality entries.

[joeboy 3,171]

6 players with 1 possession or less for the  quarter

[Demon Disciple 12,315]

Need to reset on how we go inside 50.

Get the smalls to the fall of the ball and get it in quicker, flood or no flood, defences wilt if you get it in quick.

Also need to stand up in the midfield, as we’re getting monstered with the inside 50 count.

[Master Deebater 495]

Rivers back into the corridor with less than 20 secs to go - big brain fart.

Grow a brain mate!

[Go the Biff 3,452]

A quarter time kick up the clacker required. 

The boys are not running 

[jnrmac 20,207]

Midfield need to lift bigtime

[KingDingAling 3,758]

Im surprised how bad Adelaide are going inside 50

[Lexinator 1,752]

May and McVee keeping us in it. Need to win a few more clearances. 

[BoBo 2,941]

This game is for Adelaides season survival essentially. They aren’t good on the road so can’t really afford to drop many home games. They’re coming hard but we got this.

19 inside 50s to 8. Midfield deserves a massive spray.

[defuture15 900]

They are clogging us up

Did well to stay close

Suspect their is s 3-4 goal breeze to the cheer squad end

Go Dees!

Settle down 

[Demon_spurs 1,893]

Settle people, if we had got reward for our tackling we'd be 3 goals up

[dee-tox 4,835]

Started well but intensity dropped off mid way. Terrible kick from Rivers at that stage of the quarter. 

McVee has been great despite one  Rankine goal. 

May some great marks. 

Can we play BBB out of the square? Looks unnatural him chasing down defenders.

[Bitter but optimistic 22,289]

Geez gloom and doomers give it a break.

We're 5 points down and 3 quarters to play!
