Red But Mostly Blue

Umm that passage had nothing to do with Sydney desperation. We're just insanely stupid.

☹️

We can do it (although we have not been a good Q4 team this year), but it's gong to be tough. Swans are playing well and taking their chances and we aren't, simple as that.

I guess this all makes sense, we haven't beaten anyone in the top 4 this year. We are being shown up here by the Swans. On our turf. Again.

Let's at least hit 3Q time level, or dare I say even 1 goal up??!

For all our hard work at the start of this quarter, we're now 2+ down. We need a few, and fast.

FAR OUT WE CANNOT AFFORD TO KEEP GIVING THESE GUYS GOALS!

Ugh We keep giving them easy goals. There's no excuse for leaving Parker open like that.

Clarry doesn't normally instill the greatest confidence in me when he kicks for goal but he's looked rock solid tonight.

Ugh Papley's face is so annoying.

Bluddy hell Gus

In general play, May has absolutely creamed Franklin.

Bang, BANG.... ???

HELL YEAH FRITTER THAT'S THE STUFF THAT LIGHTS UP A TEAM. WHAT A GOAL. CAPSLOCK EVERY DAY OF THE WEEK.

V bad ☹️

Great goal first up. Let's do this!

I think we'll be alright. We will consolidate this quarter with a blistering block of footy.. We're the better team, we're at home, we just need to get rid of the fumbles, play smart and utilise our i50 efforts. Hold them accountable. No more freebies!

I know the free was soft, very soft, diabolical even. But I'm really annoyed that May allowed himself to get sucked into that BS by Franklin.. Completely changed the trajectory of this game.

First things first, we have not beaten any of the other teams in the top 4 this year. One of them has beaten us twice. I won't say who. For those who keep saying they'll go out in straight sets, yeah maybe, maybe not. They keep winning, and they are as many wins from a flag as we are. Scary. If we play them again, and we would likely need to at some point, they will have the crowd and momentum against us. So we need to be at our best. Ok, the good stuff. I think we're coming good, at the right time. But there's still improvement, which is good. We have not maxed out yet, nor would we want to. Until it counts. Some things, like our i50 improving a little, and particularly from unlikely sources, like Melksham. Kozzie hitting a purple patch, the backline looking a little more settled (except for that ridiculous shoot out against the Pies, which to be fair was not all their fault - and the Pies also got very lucky at times - luck they will likely not be able to replicate). Brown is looking a lot better. Had good presence around the ground on Friday, took some good marks, and kicked some great goals. In recent years, we have not played the Swans well at the MCG. I would almost have preferred we play them up there! But that's silly, we will be at home, we need to capitalise on that and earn ourselves a week off before prelim. We can beat the Swans, we had them covered earlier in the year before we let them back in. We can't do that again. We have to make the most of this opportunity, the Swans at home is much better than the Pies/Cats IMO. Let's beat the Swans, then rest up and use the momentum and belief to knock over the Pies/Cats. Would be very sweet.

Loved seeing it. So pure.

Lol what the hell was that with the chocolate milk between Hunt and BT?

Great to see Bowey bank another win, too!

We had a mission... And we DESTROYED the Lions on their turf. Mission accomplished. Great team effort Message sent 🔥🔥🔥

Little man syndrome zorko

Milkshake has such poise and balance i50, such a joy to watch.
