Red But Mostly Blue

Yeah the inconsistency is something I struggle with. I don't mind losing, but our best and worst is worlds apart.

42-point turnaround, baby! Look, poor outcome. But those potting the boys, these are the same guys who did well against the bombers last week. But today, were too patchy, gave them far too much room and the mids didn’t do enough unfortunately and put too much pressure on the backline. That said, why did they have so many unmarked guys i50? What are the stats on marks inside 50? Would be woeful. Anyway, the last few weeks tells me that the bombers are indeed frauds, we are better than them, but nowhere near the dockers sadly. Their bunnies of late. If we scrape into the finals I would not be keen on playing them again. We need Max back and sorely miss Trac. Not that it would have changed the result as our Alice game proved. Anyway, gotta focus on beating the Giants. Need to win 4/5.

How can billings not even score? 6 goals will be hard but we can at least make this a contest. It’s also sad to see Longmuire so angry, he expected a total annihalation today.

Melksham good and pleasing to see a goal from Petty. Wild dreaming I know but if we can snatch one more, 39 points is doable? At least for a contest

Truly embarrassing. Same thing, every time. Have we caught on? Nope.

We are 6 (now 7) goals down MAN UP FFS

How aren’t we manning up!!!!????????

King wants to see a 15-20 goal win for the dockers. That’s what he thinks of us.

How disappointing. Kolt should have made a better go at that, how aren’t we communicating with each other?? Then it goes the other end to an unmarked Walter’s, again. For a goal. Instead of being maybe 3 goals down, we’re back to 5 mainly because they’re not kicking straight. Maybe I’m delusional but we can come out and be aggressive. Mids need to work very hard. May being our top ball getter tells the story. let’s just come out and fight, throw everything at these guys we have nothing to lose.

0.2 in a qtr is not good enough. The truth is freo would be buoyed by the way they trashed us not even 2 months ago, so we’ll need a fairly dramatic turn in skills and mindset to make this a game.

I think so, too. I think their next two are losable - Crows then Saints. Would put a dent in their position if those around them keep winning, which might make them wobble. They ain't a top 4 side, and probably not even a top 8. Looking forward to that correction very soon.

Thanks, mate! :-)

The umpires tried to snatch it in the end, but no dice!! GREAT WIN! My takeaways: - I think we saw a rebirth for the team against the Lions. Great pressure for the whole game. Intense. Belief. - The kids are the future. Disco kicking big goals, McVee’s skills in the wet, Kozzie doing things only he can. Rivers continues to step up. Windsor had another cracker. Great vision and speed. Kolt, love his grit. - WITHOUT Trac and Gawn. No axtual ruck. This is our character. - The bombers are FRAUDS and CHEATS! I’m glad we helped to show them up and help them back down the ladder (although their soft draw will continue to help). - How good was Langdon? - How missed was Melksham?? Great night, always love beating these mugs. Only disappointment was not winning by 40+ but I can live that that. HERE WE COME!!!! 🔥💙❤️

What a load of [censored]. WHAT THROW??????? We have got to get this next goal. Can’t believe this is where we are now.

Nah they didn’t pick them up off the canvas, #22 did. Get em back, boys

What the hell was that??!

PROCESSION, PLEASE!! lets run these cheats into the ground Also, ‘deadeye disco’ ❤️

Kozzie got the goal from his brilliant tap on. Caleb vision and kick exquisite. Our kids ❤️

How much can one love Melksham? Not enough lol and redman totalling himself 🤣

Well, it’s ours to lose. We are in control. Tight, low scoring game but I hope we have learnt from the last few games (lions/roos) and we come out trying to score and put this away. The bombers will keep coming at us so we need to be firm, but bold. We can do this, first goal straight from the bounce, let’s go!

That kick was about 15cm

BANG!!! Love to see those ❤️

What a waste of Kozzie’s amazing skills on the other side, to burn that goal by leaving them so much room unmarked again???

Cracking tackle my McVee! Another good end to the qtr. keeping up the intensity, keeping them thinking and have just had a little more spark up forward. This is a good base to build from. Let’s get them in the second half!

Bombers goal was pure ar*e getting it there, ours much better and my boy Melky!
