Boots and all

A centre clearance here would be nice.

Only leading the tackle count by two despite chasing asses all day.

Alright, any comeback from here will be impressive.

Bowey has been Jonny on the Spot a few times.

Ronaldo with the first for Melbourne.

That could have been substantially worse.

Freo are playing excellent footy right now, they are on fire. Clean with the footy, nailing targets and fast ball movement. This will be hard to arrest. Plus the umps are giving them a slight leg up.

Hopefully their form continues!!

Back to 10th 😒...please win tomoz boys!!

The "baby Demons" 😁

So proud of these boys. Young blokes stood up big time.

Lovely kick Disco!!

Looking very poor already. Bombers doing better in the contest than expected.

C'mon Dees, we really need your best wet weather game in 2 years.

Normal, and [censored].

Just to clarify...Our next in guys are Laurie, Sestan, Tholstrup, Brown?

Yep. Older = more injuries, so backup even more critical going forward.

Makes sense, I can't stand either of those blokes.

Hear, hear!!

Totally agree with this... it's all about D. Hardwick. The bloke couldn't give a [censored]!!

It will, I absolutely reckon the Dees can run with JVR, Fritta and Melk. That is a dangerous forward line. A little small but still a group that can kick a winning score.

Are we the worst set shot team in the league. That would be a sad state of affairs given Choco's standing in AFL.

I've been thinking about this. I feel the way AFL football is played these days its challenging to put 4 complete quarters together in a game. Even the league leaders play what could be considered a poor quarter of football most weeks. I actually believe our last quarter was pretty good. Brisbane had all the momentum but the Dees were not overun and played their guts out. They just didnt have the finishing skills to ice the game.

Yep. I think if the Lions lost that game they would be bitterly disappointed given the number of opportunities they fluffed in the last quarter. The ball basically lived in their half of the ground and they were running all over the Dees.

It can be more physically taxing to take the risks as well. Players may have wanted to, but felt they were physically unable to nail that 40m bullet or take on the tackler, especially the early career players. I expect these guys also don't want to be dropped which would feed into the whole risk taking mentality. I can't imagine Goody instructing the players to take the game on and take risks leading into the last quarter...we almost never play that way.
