3 up then, they all stayed down, silly play. I'll admit. I'm nervous now.

Kudos for Fritsch for his switch back into the corridor. Set up the shot at goal that was bloody terrible from Hogan!

Not our best quarter, but the Lions got their tails up on their home deck and kicked a few. That's life. A couple of early goals to kick off the final term and they'll drop their bundle.

Surprise, surprise. The opposition kick a few and get some momentum. They are an AFL side after all. Not only that, the umpires are giving them every chance to get back into it. We go anywhere near them and they're blowing the whistle.

He had it for 0.000001 seconds. Pinged.

That Jetta decision was a disgrace. Pinged for holding, yet didn't hold him at all.

Who said Jones was cooked earlier in this thread? Give yourself a week's ban, friend. Terrible call.

I reckon it was deliberate. Missed the spoil and then planted his head into the turf. Terrible stuff.

We need to be careful here. Lions will have a dip and we need to weather it, put a few goals on the board and break their spirit.

You can't argue with Smug Steve though, dazzle. He's never, ever wrong.

Whatever floats your boat, Steve. Outside of one I can think of, and that turnover, he's been pretty good.

In slippery conditions, that was a great first half. Everything we struggled with last week has been improved. We've been more efficient going forward, our backline has worked superbly and we've more than broken even in the midfield. The one big thing that stands out are our high half forwards - Melksham, ANB and Garlett are all having much, much better games than last week and you can see the difference that it makes. Now we need to finish them off and win the game by 10 goals!

Hogan BOG at the moment. 3 goals, 7 marks and his field kicking has been excellent, too. Edit - and an amazing chase down as well. Bloody loving it!

I love you too, mate.

In that previous contest, Mathieson did nothing but play for a free kick. He could have gotten the ball but he would rather throw his arms out looking for a kick. Pathetic.

No problem, SWYL.

Jeffy! The man is on fire tonight!

You happy with anything so far tonight, Clint? Go on, give it a go. You might like it.

True Steve, it was poor. I must admit that I didn't see you posting when one his kicks hit ANB lace out for a goal. Swings and roundabouts I guess, eh?

He has 3 free kicks already, all of them nothing.

That's the steadier we needed! And calm down guys - they're still an AFL football side who will kick a few goals and have some sort of momentum throughout the night. It's how we handle it that matters, and we're doing it well at the moment.

Already 7 free kicks to 2. Home town advantage well underway.

Yeah, that wasn't flash from Wagner. At the very least he could have given it to Jetta. Disappointing as he did a couple of good things in the first term.

5 goals, they're scoreless, no junk time goals to them and we're moving the ball well. You can't ask for a much better start when you're playing interstate.

How good was that kick from Hibberd? Sublime!
