  1. And right there is the difference. Cripps kicks the goal. Stretch kicks the point.
  2. Dangerous tackle missed. Throw missed. Good to see the umpires doing their job out west. That was SWEET from trac. Let's run away with this!
  3. Using opportunities. That's what this game will come down to. Annoying goal, we have to respond straight away.
  4. We should be at least 5 goals up, so we're going to have to do this the hard way. A quick goal at the start of Q4 is necessary. Send the message that we won't be giving up this game.
  5. Godamn I hate Kennedy. And I hate handing the ball over for dumb goals when we're controlling general play. Need that goal back
  6. A converted opportunity! Get The Hell Out Of here I'd love a sneaky goal before quarter time.
  7. What a waste that passage was. Can't stand Kennedy.
  8. Jones' last couple of i50s have been hot garbage. Steaming hot. Hope Baker slots this. He gets in the right spaces
  9. FROSTY destroying petrols shirt is now my favourite moment of the game haha
  10. Why is it just is slipping all over the place? Can we invest in some proper studs?
  11. Lockhart is going from strength to strength. Very clever, the kind of smart footballer we need more of. Creative.
  12. How good was that from Viney? Should have resulted in a goal though. We're in this though. Big time.
  13. Smith, you BEAUTY! Those are the goals we've got to kick!
  14. Yikes, big missed opportunity from Baker there. Enjoying his work tonight otherwise.
  15. It has been great to see TMac playing well. You can see he's starting to find his feet again, and believe. Love it!
  16. Where was this team in the prelim last year? We're still butchering it going forward (although lot less), but wow look at the hunger, the 2nd efforts, the bodies around the ball. That Clarry chain for the goal from Hunt was the best I've seen all year. If we can maintain this for (only) 3 more qtrs, and convert forward chances, we've got a real chance. What a sweet feeling it would be the beat the Eagles over there with our seconds! (no disrespect to the boys out there, I speak only from the perspective of our starting squad).
  17. Thanks! Exciting times ? Before the start of the year I thought I was going to have to manage competing joys of fatherhood and a huge year from the Dees. As it's eventuated, I've had no distractions at all with being a good Dad haha. Let's hope we get things together before the kid is old enough to pick a team (I've already bought his gear).
  18. A tale of 2 teams Last year in the prelim, we were on fire, hungry, and playing with nearly a full team (plus we were feared and favoured, which was no doubt helped by the fact that we had recently beaten the Eagles at the same ground). Then we got belted. This year, we are out of form, still fairly unfit, and having to choose from the most depleted list in the league. It doesn't bode well. Arguably we should lose by more as all the factors that were in our favour in the prelim no longer exist. It really could, and should be ugly. But is it too much to dream? I love an underdog story. Maybe I'm just fatigued (1 month newborn at home), but this is the exact sort of game good teams can win. It's not impossible. Unlikely, sure, but impossible? I've tipped us by 1 point. We CAN do this. Go Dees! ??
