Brown with an awful kick to robbo, no wonder we havent taken a mark in F50

What has the forward line structure been? The radio isn't very informative in that regard.

[Jaded No More 68,855]

THROW HIM TO FF!

No chance.

White is a hopeless forward. Great kick, good mark, no idea where to lead.

He's better off floating across the forward line and taking marks.

It's been difficult for me to see many games this year (being in Sydney get to see Swans play on both free to air and Austar) but i've read a lot about Newton on this site. So far not impressed.

That's because he isn't playing up forward!

Was excellent last week, yet hasn't seen the goal square all night.

Robbo and Davey key forwards, and we've taken something like 5 marks inside our forward 50.

Anyone shocked?

McLean with 29 possessions. :D

You would have been if you saw him against Carlton and Essendon...Carlton in particular.

[Gorgoroth 12,916]

Newton was good last week and goon in his first game, this is his 3rd and the delivery into F50 is worse than terrible, and i dont even know what position he has been played in but has not been FF and that is where he should be played.

[Gorgoroth 12,916]

Another nice goal to flash

Sorry jaded i was more or less saying we have no FF at the moment so any one shousl go there!

[Gorgoroth 12,916]

Nice slap on by garland

[Jaded No More 68,855]

Nice handball from Garland.

Godfrey was excellent too, punched the ball down back, and ran down to kick the goal.

Oh, and look, Newton finally in the forward line and he creates a contest from which we score.

Where has Newton been playing then? Wing? I heard that Garland was on the wing.

I saw him in the midfield, and a few forward flank cameos.

Great goal from Jonesy. What a champ!

P.S.- Pathetic umpiring tonight!

I have seen nothing in this game to make me think we are any chance of rebounding next year.

I expect to see soft, inept performances from some of those older we have on our list.

But what i really thought i would see, was the likes of Sylvia, Bate and Jones stepping up and taking their game to a new level. And with McLean, take leadership of the club.

[Gorgoroth 12,916]

Yeah a tall forward who made a contest, who would have thought!

Jones with a nice long goal, great work by davey, has really lifted and put his head down after a terrible start.

Good effort by Ward!

McLean and Jones have been very good.

McLean is the leading possession getter on the ground, which is a fair effort after 3 poor weeks.

Oh, and nice work from Bate and Sylvia to combine for the goal

How good is CJ's disposal today? Doesn't get a heap of the ball, but he makes the possessions count.

[Gorgoroth 12,916]

I thought frawley would have rushed a behind, ward maybe should have slapped it through.

Sylvia kicks a goal. Good work from bate.

[Jerry Lundergard 420]

The level has dropped to VFL standard now, and what do you know? We look alright again.

[Gorgoroth 12,916]

DAVEY WITH 4! really in a half, and should have kicked one in the start of the 3rd, pity he will miss next week

[Gorgoroth 12,916]

Good mark sylvia.

[BrownlowBruce 1]

zero to hero?

[melbournemartin 0]

Chris Johnson perhaps done enough to earn a spot next round?

[Jaded No More 68,855]

Our players have lost the plot tonight.

So many undisciplined frees given away, which is unacceptable, even from a young side.

Brock- 31 touches, 13 contested possessions, 1 goal. The champ is back! :D

[Gorgoroth 12,916]

CHOOKA WITH A GOAL! 13 contested and 31 i think they just said

good contest by ward and davey earlier

[Gorgoroth 12,916]

CJ defiantly deserves another game, and as i write this a great tackle by him.

[Jaded No More 68,855]

Chris Johnson perhaps done enough to earn a spot next round?

Why would you drop him?

Why is he always the first one in the gun?

Has done very well with his limited ground time and possession count.

No youngster deserves to get dropped while our injury list is so long. We have nothing to gain by dropping them.

The home-game experiment earnt us a lot of money, but not a lot of points. Good riddance Brisbane!

I'd be lying if I said I will miss the Gabba.
