Get him Bernie!

I know I'll regret it, but I honestly believe right now that we can win this game of footy. I'm not prepared to be let down!

Let's be honest - if you had said we would go in at half time 1 point in front, then everyone on this board would have taken it. Super effort from our side to get ourselves back in it. Tyson, Jones and Vince have all been massive and our backline has worked very hard as well. Hopefully we can keep it up in the second half! C'mon Dees!

I might be biased but I thought he was stiff. Took maybe 3 steps and got tackled. Having said that if it was in our forward line I'd be screaming for it to be paid.

I agree, mate. Kids all make mistakes but he's done some good things as well which has been terrific to see.

It wasn't flash, was it? However if he just runs it over then he's pinged for it.

Demons!!

Vince is certainly trying!

Well done Vanders! Good response from the boys, too!

Can't fault the effort. The boys are having a red hot go, even if we aren't using it all that well.

Reckon Dawes has been alright so far today. Certainly provided a good contest.

Frost sums us up so far today. Does well, gets around Gibson... and kicks it straight to Rioli.

It was unbelievable goal, though.

Didn't you know he makes us a 10 goal better side, bing? It's extraordinary.

What would they have done? Plenty of our players can improve from here. Oliver, Vanders, Garlett, Hunt, Trengove... we played poorly at the end there but all it takes is a few goals to get going again. Lots to work on though.

If that's what you think then I feel sorry for your comprehension of what football is.

This is the aspect I hope they fix up at quarter time. What Mitchell just did is a prime example - get the ball moving forward as quick as you can in these conditions, even if it's a kick off the ground. They have been giving their forwards a chance, yet when we go forward it's either too slow or we miss a target.

He's had 11 touches and only 1 of those was a shocker. He has made a pretty good start in the wet, considering ProDee anointed him worst on before the game.

At the moment they are a little cleaner and playing smarter football. They are knocking it on, kicking it off the ground and kicking it to dangerous spots.

Could say the same about yourself. He's started well.

He has started well today. Well, better than his brother anyway.

We need to be smarter going forward. We're going to bomb a bit all day today but we need to make sure we're in front to make a contest and not allow them to pick it off.

Jesus Jack...

Hawks getting on top now. Petracca with a great tackle... no free. Horrible decision.

Wait for us to play a ripper of a game and the usual cast of miscreants simply blames the weather for our efforts, rather than giving the team credit for the performance.
