Red But Mostly Blue

What a disappointing end to the game. Level at 3Q, in it. 5* goals loss and out without a whimper. Lame. Can’t blame that on umpiring.

Between horrible corrupt umpiring, our poor goal kicking and last quarter fade out, very frustrating.

We are very annoying I hope our many, many misses don’t cost us. The hawks take their chances.

Gah. Imagine if we were 10.4 instead, would have been pretty much game over against these pretenders.

And shared by Clarry. Mutual sentiments haha

I agree. They play an appealing brand of footy, but they haven't really been tested by any quality sides this year, and have been beaten when the pressure has been applied. We just need to come out at 200 pressure and hold. They will fold, and we continue the streak. Can't stand the team or its supporters. Would love to beat them, but also because this will be a solid turning point win, 4-5 ahead and within sight of the 8 - with our tails up - essentially mirroring what they did last year. Just got to play with belief and keep the pressure up, and take chances.

I'll never forget that night at the G - and same, here one of the best wins I have ever seen.

And we’ve won a last quarter… just!! Gawn, HUGE!! 30 votes. Chandler continues his great form, and Turner looked solid. We take the W, and that’s great, but we’ll need a more consistent lift for the hawks next week!

Come on now, percentage. Let’s work hard for 8 more minutes then we can pack it in, sing the song and put the feet up!!!

Called it. I’m the Antony Green of Demonland tonight. We’re also gonna bust the q4 malarkey tonight, too. Gonna bring this home in a romp. (Like Albo)

Relax everyone, we’re gonna smoke these dorks in the second half. Albo 2025 election style. (Eagles = Dutton).

Happy with Turner back in. And Melk. I know these are also Damo's words on his stupid sliding doors garbage, but I think our forward setup is better, and more dynamic with him there. He's still finding his feet, and yeah maybe he could do with a few more minutes in the #2s, but he's such a good, creative, and defensive minded forward, that he'll click quickly. As for not having backup for Maxy, I can only imagine they listened to Demonlanders here who bemoaned Maxy having a rest last week. So now, NO REST FOR YOU, MAX! There you go, wish granted. Finally, Claz. Geez the comments towards him from some in recent months have been poor. He's one of the greatest to wear our colours and while there is always space to make an argument for team selection, and who should be in/out. Those who insist on kicking him to the curb, offloading him to another team like he's some sort of refuse... I hope this is a reminder that he is a human being. Again, one of our greatest to play the game. All the best to Claz, hope he's feeling better soon. Can't wait to see him out there again soon.

Tough But not nearly as tough as our boys, if they believe and give no quarter. We CAN do this. Those are not unwinnable games. Our best is great, just need to keep it up.

In Spanish and Italian, guerra means war, so there's that? Maybe this guy is going to bring the fight we need right now...

Honestly, I don’t actually mind resting Maxy. We will need to look after him this year, and sitting out half a qtr is fine if we’re up by 7 goals. But It seemed like everyone else went off with him!!! 🤣 I dunno. On one hand it was a wasted opportunity to build some % but on the other the boys came off a 5 day break (same as the tigers I know), so maybe they were just gassed. Fitness is a question mark I guess.

Also, Salo and Bowza were fantastic tonight

Not a great first half, in great part because we were getting very little from Trac, Clarry and Kozzie. No surprise that things turned with a big second half from each of them. Maxy was huge. Disappointing way to end the game, some useful % wasted. Anyway, happy for the win, we continue to build some momentum. Over to the west to make amends for a bad loss last year!!!

So frustrating.

This is a disappointing end to the game. We will desperately need % Please get a few back and end on a bang, not a slim margin win whimper.

And about 8%!!! (Provided we don’t continue this mini slumber - would love us to finish strong).

OOOOF UMP MILES OFF

What was that free for???

I think I jinxed that one. But yeah another bs call

His effort has been up there all year. Been really impressed with him this year. We need someone like him.

lol he tried to pull a marchbank. Nowhere near it. KOZZIEE!!!!
