Red But Mostly Blue

100% on board with this. It's so easy to be romanticised by the brief, bright sparks. Don't get me wrong, Dogga may very well develop into what he is being touted as, but he may not - and in any event it's all moot, because if he wants to go home and this is not where his heart is, or we have to throw everything we have to keep him, which will mean we're missing $$$ to keep some of the other pieces of the puzzle, then it's not worth it. It creates friction in the team, and leads to the kind of mentality on show by May earlier this year. Everyone has a role, and everyone needs to play that role, week in and out to make this dynasty we speak of. We're not far off a perfect side. Aside from smarter delivery i50, we need to look for a forward or two, or at least someone who can play up forward, like Logue.

Best summation I have read of present circumstances in a while. I want us to show every other team the respect they deserve, because only then can we play the honest/hard-working footy that would wipe every other team off the ground this year, easily.

Lol Buckley is trying to take the credit for the Pies' position haha. He was a crap coach, they're now performing with a good coach.

Yep, umpiring was suss at times and a few of their frees were soft and cost us goals, but the reality is Max, Salem and Kozzie missed sitters in front of goal. Kick those, and we're singing the song right now. Instead I have to see Maynard's dumb face on screen.

This one burns. Pies 2-0. Goals win matches. Too much cute stuff and wasteful i50 entries. Pies played out of their skins, took their chances, kicked way more GOALS than points and rode their luck. We need to beat the Blues and the Lions to enter finals with momentum. At this rate I'd hate to play the Pies in the finals.

That's a push!?!!

My heart.

FFS

Can we use this to run on with it? The Pies have been the 'clutch' team. Let's clutch this!

Why the F was Elliot free?!

How dumb are our disposals going forward right now? We need a goal, right now.

Confident? Not really. The Pies have their tails up and we looked under serious pressure for pretty much that whole quarter. But I'm holding hope that they spent all their tickets in that quarter, and rode their luck. It has to run out, right? WE HAVE TO MAKE THE MOST OF OUR OPPORTUNITIES INSIDE 50!!!!

Wtf maxy

We have got to stop them scoring every bluddy time they go inside 50!!!!!

Man That Was Intense

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Highly unimpressed. Another i50, another goal!!!

We really, really need to kick those!

Part of me is worried about how easily they've been able to score against us, but seriously, some of the goals have been the Pies taking their chances, but others have been soft frees and the others just arsey goals. No way they sustain that, or replicate it if they play us again in the finals. We just need to do what we do best and be a little creative going forward (a little less to the pockets) to make sure we capitalise on our dominance! Big third quarter, let's step on it.

So similar to the doggies game. We just need to tighten things up a little and not given them the easy rebound goal. They've been lucky with frees i50 and had some arsey goals. No way that continues with their low i50s. I reckon we'll consolidate in Q3.

Junk time goal. My favourite 🙄 Ugh

What a quarter. The only real negatives are that we gave up 5 goals (one to that spud Cox), and Maxy's miss. Wish Salem sunk that as well. But still, that was intense. Don't think they can sustain that for 4 quarters which is good because I don't think my heart can handle 4 either!

Trac > Dr Goey

We've got this. We'll come out breathing fire and the Pies will then know they're not playing a bottom 8 team. They're playing the Premiers. Dees by 30 🔥

We might not score a million points, but I guess you don't need to when you keep your oppo to 39 points?! Viney was huge, especially in that first half. He really set the scene again. Ok, momentum - let's do it, and steamroll the Pies next week! Great win, go Dees.
