He is in Sloane's back pocket.

10 point down at half time? We'll take it. If you take away those first 10 minutes of the second term where they kicked 5 on the trot, we've been the better side. Our attack and pressure on the ball has been good and we've forced them in to turnovers which has frustrated them. We aren't giving them a run at the footy and they don't really know what to do about it. We need to come out far more switched on than we did in the second term, though. Lots to like about the first half.

It's what you always waffle on about, Robin.

The boy knows how to kick a goal when he plays down there.

And that's all you've got, just like your 'support' of the club. Well done.

I thought you had slinked off like the fairweather supporter you are and started watching Eurovision? Silent for our 2 goals then pipes up after that.

I don't know why you support this club if it brings you so much misery. Knick off and support Richmond. Great captain's goal there, by the way.

Really, Dom? Really?

Well done Buggy! Nice finish. Our entries will be few and far between so we need to convert them. Another 2 or 3 in quick succession would be nice.

There he goes, pulling that bow string back. You should change your username to Robin Hood.

Tough for the forwards though dazzle. We aren't getting it down there much, although admittedly when we do we are not putting enough pressure on at the drop of the ball.

The kick from Hibberd was poor and created the turnover as OMac couldn't go back and take the kick, he had to act quickly.

I never said he did, Jaded. Don't take yourself too seriously. Tongue was planted firmly in cheek.

Vince annoyed with the decisions so he headbutts an umpire. Genius work.

How was that a push in the back? Another horrible decision.

Who are you seeing frankie?

Good man! It's true that we can't leave him free, but I believe it's due to the extra man within the contest. He is hanging out the back like a seagull. And in terms of Gorgoroth, I'll take 'Sign of an Open Eye' every day of the week!

If we all said we would be in front at quarter time we all would have taken it. Pressure around the contest has been epic, and while we are struggling to score our defensive work has been terrific. Our back six gets a big pat on the back for that. If we can keep this up then we're in with a chance, but the Crows won't roll over lightly.

Cheer up King Ov Hell, start looking at the positives!

Jenkins is one of the most overrated players in the league. That piece of play was pathetic from him, ignored better options for a hero shot on goal.

Does anyone notice the yelling Melbourne fan who was near the TV mic during last years win over Port? I'll be loving it if we kick a few and he cheers for each one!

True, but the Crows don't like it tough. They like their running game and if we put pressure on they won't like it. Don't mind that from Kent either, make them earn it.

The one thing we will struggle with tonight is that transition from a stoppage coming out of their back half. We just lack that extra key target to give us a chop out. It allows them to zone off and get the ball. In the last instance we did exactly what we should do all night, but we weren't rewarded for the great tackle.

Tackling pressure from us has been superb. We aren't allowing them time to get their running game going as yet.

How good is it to have Hibberd in the side? Terrific pick up.
