GCDee

You're kidding right? A win against GC and we are literally one win (and percentage) out of the top 8 with 14 games to play, in what will almost certainly be one of the most even season's we have had in a long long time. WCE will be gettable as they aren't playing great footy. GWS are in form however don't play the MCG often nor do they play it well... And Adelaide have started similar to us.... Wouldn't be surprised if we are firmly in the 8 come the bye... I also wouldn't be surprised if we lose 3 of the next 4 and officially end our season.

Surely this is Lewis' last chance.

Looking forward to this one, love going to Metricon its a neat little stadium. Going with a bunch of Gold Coast "supporters" which will give me so much [censored] if we lose...

Just seen a post on a Facebook trading page that tom papley might seek to come back to Victoria at season's end. 23 years old in July and is a quality & speedy small forward. Us along with the blues, saints, doggies and norf are currently the teams to express interest

With may, lever, Viney and hannan in the team I am confident we can beat anyone at any ground. Assuming we havent lost any other players. Looks like we will have all of them back in 3-4 weeks. If we can go get a minimum 2 wins in the next 4 I think we could come home strong. Ideally we need to go 3-1 or 4-0 in the next 4

Unfortunately the GC train line only goes as far as varsity... So you will likely need to get a bus to varsity then a train to Nerang then a bus to metricon

Changes... Omac out Preuss in... keilty down back. And can rotate into the ruck if need be. It'll get pretty duey once the sun goes down probably around 3 QT so I wouldn't imagine that would play a massive factor

Pretty much.... The parking is horrible and the public transport to the ground is pretty bad. Either you park at a close school which usually has a shuttle bus service to the ground or you get the train and then a bus in. If you're staying close enough ie Broadbeach I recommend just getting a cab. The ticketing is pretty much behind the goals or level 2 general admission other seats are reserved seating you can pre purchase but level two is actually a very good viewing point at metricon. See you there

I honestly think it's a confidence thing.... When we clicked in the third we went from looking like a bottom 4 rabble to a premium team. Our hands in close where quick and effective our forwards were moving and clunking marks. We are not a precision team and dare I say it we wouldnt train like that. We rely on a sharp hand ball game in close to get our space and build numbers at the contest to create the next outlet. I am actually really happy the Hawks surged and we fought back and came from behind in the 4th after giving up a 3 goal lead. Shows a lot of character and I think we gain more from a tight 5 point win than running over them in the fourth to win by 5 goals. Hopefully the boys take something from the win and start building into the season.

We were no where near the protected area then... [censored] rort

Wow hopefully we can hold off the 21 hawk players on the ground in the 4th this umpiring is beyond diabolical

There are seriously two sets of rules being officiated out there today... Umpiring has been woeful

You forgot skills .. Why can't we execute basic footy skills ever...

Zac is quite speedy...

I should really re search this but didn't the Eagles make the prelim or Granny the year after finishing second last and securing nic nat?

"we are easy to play against" "Judge us on our performance... Next week" "I am relishing [censored] taking a team from the prelim to bottom 4 in 7 game, it's a great learning curve" "We will learn from this" "This is not our brand and we need to get better"

Can we start up the trade board yet? Any decent out side mids going too 3 in the draft?

Wow just did a quick check of the scores.... Flood gates have opened. [censored] this club.

Game over. Season over. At least it was a better defensive effort tonight really does feel like we have gone back to year 2 of Roos' coaching tenure having to sacrifice all offensive to not leak goals. Really dissapointed in how this season has gone but there is just no coming back from here. Let's give some fridge players bigger roles, ie stretch, t smith, baker, keilty, petty and see what they can offer. Start planning for 2020. Steven may had better be in the best [censored] shape of his life come pre season

Cannot fault the effort so far... We are actually defending this week. Tigers are a very organised defence so we need to work the angles a bit more when entering 50... Frost is defending very well... Liked that Goody tried some different things to start the game. Interested to see what/if there are changes made in the second half

Find it strange that Richmond are only making the one change coming off a 4 day break...

Wouldn't really be surprised... I'm still waiting waiting for the boys to turn up this season

If we got a really decent first round pick for him,, & it frees up enough cash to get Coniglio as a FA then 100% yes I would trade Trac.

dang it... I do too. I was meant to have Hore in
