Watched a replay of the 3rd qtr today and noticed that myself. Had to rewind and watch at normal speed to try and work out how King got a free kick dead in front 10 metres out. Still NFI

I was at the game and close by. It was just a desperate spoil. Was it clumsy or wreckless? No, he looked where his opponents were and focussed solely on punching the ball. To say "he made him earn it" is utter BS. If Roo was going to make him earn it, he would have launched sideways and absolutely destroyed him with a hip and shoulder spoil. He actually put himself in danger by staying open to the contest with a sole intention to get a fist on the ball and took the contest chest on. It was a fantastic spoil nothing more.

I think it might have been about 30 percent. We came alive in the last quarter. What was really good to see is that there seemed to be a significant increase in the amount of Demons supporters there than I've ever seen at a GC game before. Sustained success is the secret ingredient!

That's an interesting stat @bandicoot. Maybe it's skewed by our better wins when there's not the pressure on the ball carrier and therefore better delivery? I still think our forward entries and then defensive efforts to lock it in need a lot of work this year. I'd be interested what others think. maybe I'm just making excuses for the likes of JVR and BBB

Went to the game last night. Metricon is a great place to watch footy. You can sit on the grass outside or have a kick of the footy and be in your seat within 2 or 3 minutes for the start of the game. Perfect night for footy. No excuses Steven May is proppy. My wife and I were watching him closely early on. Even his gait when walking is uneven. He's running at 80 percent now and that lack of closing speed hurts us at the moment. Petty has to go back to cover this. We all agree. Our forward line. BBB comes in but it won't fix much. The beauty of a half empty stadium meant we could move to the opposite end to sit in the forward pocket in the last quarter and watch our forward line malfunction. This is our biggest problem at the moment. So many forward fifty entries were wasted. WE JUST DON'T LOWER OUR EYES. We can't rely on a young bloke to take screaming pack marks 4 times a game. We can't rely on Tracc trying to bend a dribbler in from the boundary when Grundy is standing front and square 15m out in the last quarter. The long bombs from 60 or 70 out have to stop. We are doing it at AFL and VFL level We were right in front of JVRs spoil in the last. It was a brilliant effort by him just to make the contest. Eyes only for the ball to try and lock the ball in which we're not doing well enough. It will be tragic if he goes for that gut running to make the contest. Field kicking was off for a lot of the night. We are missing Salem's disposal. Oliver was still very good. We are just not that good without Max. Jack Viney saved that game for us in the last. The strength he displays in packs is just something else. The Jui Jitsu (I think) training he's doing is helping him keep his feet so well and also stopping him from dangerous tackling in some ways. Umpiring - evened out after GC were gifted a handful up front earlier in the game. Well done to Gold Coast. They are no easy beats and were unlucky not to win I think the coaching staff have some serious work to do with how we are playing. From our defensive setups, our kickouts, our transition into the forward line. Another KPF ain't gonna fix it. We're in a great position considering we're not firing on all cylinders. Gotta be happy with the win. That's what good teams do.

Will there be a pause in play while we all take the knee and pledge allegiance?

I've got the volume off. What on earth is Mitch Robinson doing in the crowd with a Guernsey on? He can't quite retire yet? He's like Les McQueen from Creme Brulee

The dude

Mel Brooks was just a wonderful comedy producer

Yeah, I feel like it's not the forward's fault exclusively. Both teams aren't delivering it that well to them at times. Still some work to do not just to bomb it in from 60 or 70 out. Which in a positive way, is great as both teams are near the top of the ladder and still have room to improve how they get it in to the forwards I think. I reckon we're running at 80 percent of our potential.

Gee that's a pretty strong VFL side. I wish I'd known about this game earlier. Will be cruising around the Goldy in a boat. I'd rather be in an empty stadium drinking soap out of a plastic cup and watching our team. Should be a cracking game. The Suns must be slowly building into a competitive side at both levels

So all it took to get this deal over the line was for the club to lock Kozzy in a room with Kochie for an hour in Adelaide last week (Joking)

Goody said that Petty is doing pleasing things at both ends and will be straight back in.... Boom tish

He is soooo cuddly. I just saw the president give him a big smooch at the end of the team song. Disgusting 😁

Bowey is really working backing into some great form too

We're in a virtual shootout with Carlton. Nice goal Jack

Geez Tracc is still wobbly at set shots. I'm sure he'll come good if he keeps getting practice like this

That free was just incredible. When are umps going to be relegated for trash like that?

Yep I was being sarcastic.

Mmm, Jones didn't gut punch people like Cunno does on a regular basis.

Really feeling for Cunnington right now

@WalkingCivilWar just a welfare check. Have your arms fallen off yet?

Shave JVRs head at quarter time

Dawsey did not have soft hands he had....IRON HANDS!

We're toast 😋
