Red But Mostly Blue

Proud of the boys tonight. I’d say goals win games, and they do, but the Lions had +5 scoring shots & deserved to win. Patchy umpiring but it’s not why we lost. Ran out of legs, shut down too early. 2.8 in 2nd half (no goals in Q4). That’s not good enough. But we showed signs of life, and that’s something. If we can play with that pressure we can fight for finals then who knows? There’s hope. Onwards 💙❤️

Getting cut up here. No way we can hold on WE NEED TO SCORE (GOALS)

Langdon miss costly. we have had a lot of let offs this quarter. We will need to score very quickly and plentifully if we are going to win.

Didn’t quite maintain the dominance from Q2 obviously but kept in it and made sure we have a base to work from in the final quarter. Had petty kicked that one he really should have kicked it would have been pretty much even for that quarter, which would have been fair. Need to take our chances in the last and keep up that pressure.

Kozzie is ridiculous ❤️

Was that a stiff HTB against ANN or was I not paying attention?

Always chewing…

The secret here is to start this third quarter exactly the way we played that second quarter. A few quick goals and we can stamp our foot on this one. Let’s go, boys!!! 🔥

Now THAT’S a goal!

Ars*y goal. Get it back

HOW GOOD!!?? Great effort from Clarry and top goal. BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG All those taking pot shots at our boy Clarry, calling for him to play in the 2s, hope you enjoyed that ❤️

GREAT effort by Fritter, and awesome goal from Chin. so, so much better around the ground. You can feel the pressure.

HOW GOOD WAS VINEY’S EFFORT THERE!!?? Great goal all round, let’s get into ‘em!! 🔥

As they say, points win matches

😬

I’m kind of pumped. Like, can we actually win this thing or is it just the adrenaline you’d maybe feel in a moment when the plane hits crazy turbulence and starts to nosedive and you don’t know if you’re gonna make it, but maybe you will, and what a story if you do, Wowee, did you leave the iron on at home? Who cares?! Go Dees ❤️💙

Let’s go boys. Just have a crack! 🔥

I think we work best as underdogs - we act a little strange when there are expectations - so despite my gut saying we will likely lose to the Lions tonight (that's not an unfair assessment, we have been very poor of late, copped a few injuries and the Lions have their tails up, at home and the odds reflect all of this), my heart says the boys will be very keen to prove they're all heart when they run out tonight. The expectation is not on us, so we have nothing to lose. I just want to see us play with pride and intensity for 4 quarters. Can we win? My heart says yes 🤣

A win is a win? Usually yeah, but we just eked out a 3 point win against the bottom team on the ladder, managed just 70 points and didn’t score a single point in the final qtr. I’m not sure how to feel about today but it’s hard not to argue the season is over. We just have to plan for next year. Something has to change and we need a serious injection of quality to fill some gaps. Review of everything please while we still have our core. Next week v the lions up there… 😬

Conflicted if we lose it’s season well and truly over, if it isn’t already. If we win, it’ll be a slog over the bottom side in the league. Something is not right…

Umps trying to help out north for screwing them last week.

That disposal was trash but how do we just leave guys unmarked like that?!

Agree, Moore is not a dirty player. The point I made earlier, was that we are now 2/2 with HUGELY unlucky outcomes from football acts. To stars. While May and Co would likely do the same sort of stuff, I don't recall the last time they sidelined anyone like this. Which just reinforces how bad luck it all was.

I agree with you. I do not believe Moore did this on purpose - sloppy mayyybbee - but I like him as a player and has shown himself to be quite fair. My earlier post about the Pies having form with us and our star players in relation to football acts (which you facepalmed - thanks) - was more tongue-in-cheek, and a causation point than anything else - in that the 'football act' - has directly brought about a retirement and now Trac, who I don't think we will see for some time. But I don't think Trac was on purpose at all. Very unlucky. But that's now 2;/2 games against the Pies where we have been very unlucky with BIG injuries to stars.

The Pies certainly are very good at racking up the dangerous football acts. First Gus, now Trac. They aren't going after our lightweights, are they? I wonder if Moore will dip into the wine collection and drop it off?
