Red But Mostly Blue

We are lucky to have someone of Melks class as essentially a backup. When he’s on, we look so much better up forward.

How good was Melks mark? And Kozzie too good. Finding a little touch today and getting involved. Could be him coming into some form?

I wish Gawn had passed off in that first minute. Would have been a great goal if he kicked it. But he didn’t.

Gah how can you not know there are seconds left!!?

If we can steal one or even two more we stay in this and you never know.

Been a long time since Maxy has kicked one from out there. Good to see but we really need a few more this qtr to have a chance.

Goals like that… it’s the lions night.

Some momentum, PLEASE

Can we at least try to keep this close? What is it with the lions now deciding they’re going to play on the G when it’s against us?? Joe is a doofus and he’s turned it up tonight. So annoying.

Lions are red hot right now and we just don’t have any answers. If they were not so hot I’d say we can pull this back if we turn it up a bit but they’re clunking everything, kicking goals off a step, it’s just all landing and that is what happens when you’re a good team on the march.

Oh well, we’ll always have that first 10 minutes and 2021, right?

Lions hands just too good all over the ground.

I LOVE that Taj backed himself for that goal. Tough kicked. Great first goal, hopefully the first of many.

HOW ARE WE NOT MARKING THEM IN THEIR 50???????????!!!!!!

Few of our quieter guys need to get involved, or involved again. Melk quiet, Kozzie dunno, still looks out of it aside for a nice goal and a good run or two. Could have had another I reckon. Maybe we’ll see more of him in the second half. We’ll need it. Can we please man up when the ball leaves our forward 50???

And they’re taking really strong contested marks, too! In some cases probably no right to have held onto them, but they have!

We stumbled pretty bad that qtr and to be fair the lions took their chances. We need to come out red hot and make sure we make the most of our opportunities because it’s looking like that kind of a night, where misses will cost the game. Also what is up with our kicks to half forward? I’ve seen at least 5 where they have been ‘directed’, with time, to the chest of a lions player. Total waste.

20-46 since our hot start. Might need to crank up the pressure again? Have to use our chances. Have been poor going forward this qtr.

Giving them too much room and wasting our forward 50 entries.

Poor from Spargo.

Absolutely, looks engaged and involved in the game doing some really nice things

May has to tighten up on Daniher who looks like he might have one of those ‘on’ nights. Really like what Melk brings. Has looked dangerous, will be even better if he kicks a few. But love the contribution, gets to the right spaces as always.

Firstly, WHERE HAS THIS TEAM BEEN? Great first qtr. Trac set the scene. BBB been a great presence. Secondly, goal after the siren!! 😡 WHY!?

We battled hard to overcome an injury ravaged St Kilda team. It’s an important 4 points but wouldn’t be mentioning this game again. Top 3: May, Melk and Trac. Taj did some nice things pity about the goal. Kozzie terrible. He looks so unenthused. Shadow of his former self. Will neee to be A LOT BETTER next week. Onwards, hopefully we find some form and belief while missing important guys.

15 metres my asssss
