Boots and all

That's my preferred brand Doc.

This has been a different game style. We haven't played this "brand" for weeks. Great to see.

Lost interest because the Dees are winning.

Good grief, they've been shocking in front of goal the Dockers.

Jacko is clearly injured. Logue seems to be outpointing Petty tonight.

Chandler may get a run here.

It's about this time of the game we have been fading of late. Let's hope not tonight.

By my calculations we have a 0.5% chance of keeping LJ.

😁😁😁😁

Yep, whilst Gus has been brilliant in the backline, he was equally brilliant as a defensive wingman last year.

Would switching Hibbo onto a flank and Salem into the back pocket be sensible? We're not getting much drive from Salem at present.

I guess the key question should be...Do we play Jacko against his possible new club?

Yeah, maybe. I thought the bombers still had the legs but lacked the poise required to finish the job.

Both of those sides ran the game out strongly too. We look totally knackered by that time of the game.

Not our year....not one [censored] result is going our way. [censored] you filth and druggies.

...no wonder Maxy cops a new injury every week. Poor bastard has to sit under these high balls copping knees in the back, ribs and hits to the back of the head constantly. Find another avenue for [censored] sake.

Yep, not his style and the mids need to understand that.

No, he was there, just went missing. He just seems to get worked under the ball so easily and doesn't impact the contest.

How long were the [censored] given to dispose of the ball, it makes my blood boil, especially when we get a [censored] millisecond.

As the cup holders we encounter the best of each team week in, week out and unfortunately I don't think we have the fitness to deal with it. We have about 2 1/2 quarters of our best footy before the skill errors creep in and we lose our burst and clean ball movement. I can see the purple haze running over the top of us next week too. I was holding out some hope of finishing top 2 but there is a distinct possibility of us sliding out of the top 4. Just devastated tonight, the boys had that game well under control.

Tomlinson mostly played on him and was given a footy lesson.

Umpires did all they could that quarter but the boys stood up. That knee in the ribs hurt Max. Jacko to play most of this quarter in the ruck.

What was the injury, are there any specifics? Rotator cuff, maybe?

Geelong..."The mid-season premiers". I hope so anyway.

Yeah, absolutely spot on. It started to come back against the Lions but has since deserted us. I don't believe that kind of pressure can be turned on/off at will either but it is built week on week as it requires buy in from ALL players and that may not occur simultaneously. At present I think too many of our boys get sucked into a contest when they're not needed and are then unable to the release handball etc. When we were at our best almost every opposition possession in and around contests was under pressure, which forced the turnover.
