Red But Mostly Blue

6 to go, plenty of time

And then the dees kicked 7 straight and won the game…

Just remembered we have the swans next week, essentially being a reverse of our finals games last year. And we again have that fear as to which demons team will turn up next week, and injuries 😔

It is over there!!

Maxy moving around on is comforting

Ah well guess we’ll have to replay this game another day when we’re not so bad.

Fancy giving that doofus Daniher 4 goals

100% but I’m a sucker for redemption haha. Even though my head says it’s just not possible, it’s so hard to turn around putrid for 3 quarters. It’s possible though, gotta hold some hope, it’s a strange game and we are capable. I’m deluded, I know lol

Are we at least going to make this an honourable loss. Big difference between drawing this to a couple of goals and a 10 goal loss. Might be a good start winning some clearances.

I can hear the xxxx being cracked open. Shame, we were in this. If Trac picked that ball up we might have been away for a chance to return to 20. Instead we’re 38 down.

Did Trac butter the hands before tonight? Seems to be handling a completely different ball

Nice Nibbler

Ugh Zorko of all people.

And that’s just what [cameron] can do?? What is that exactly? Stand in a place and stick his foot out for an arsey goal? Sure, OK.

Max alone is not this team. We have the depth and the talent to take care of these guys. They can’t play much better and we can only improve. It’s easy to feel dejected about our captain but seriously the test of character right now would be to win it FOR HIM. We can do this. Will we?? I think we will. But we have to come out breathing fire.

We CAN win this. We have played like trash and are still within 20, and even won that quarter. If we come out with the right mentality, firing and give these bogans NOTHING.

Needed that. One more? To put it within 3 after HT. We’ve been playing like trash but the good thing about that is that it can only get better. It has to.

We are not just Max Gawn. This is inexcusable. A poor showing from a team full of guns, supposedly pushing for a premiership.

Getting slaughtered

I know it’s early days but they have us completely covered at the moment. Our goals have come from silly turnovers, they have looked much more dangerous going forward. Hope we sort it out soon. Maxy off doesn’t help.

Trac on target!! Love to see it!!

Yeah stuff like that, we can’t do it tonight. They look amped and have been fairly direct tonight. Can’t give them much room in front of their crowd.

Tommy! Ok we’re on the board, now let’s get a run on. The Lions look pretty amped so we’ve got to remain sharp and not give them many chances.

Here we go! Time to make some amends for last year, on the way to claiming the ultimate prize this year! Let’s go Dees 😍

We don't need everyone back this week. Salem will need a run with the 2s for a while to just get into the rhythm again. We can do without May for another week or 2. No point rushing him back. We have cover. We know Lever can direct traffic out there. If Viney and Fritter are fit and ready, they are natural inclusions for Kozzie ad Laurie. Those 2 changes alone, together with the solid performance we put in last week will mean the Lions will have a lot to think about. I agree with the sentiments above, Judd was awesome, we want to reward and encourage guys like that - he'd seriously challenge Cameron. Don't think the Lions will match the team above. Last year's final loss resulted from a lot of banged up players, and the culmination of (IMO) poor self mindset throughout the year. Our guys are looking fresh, and I think we have readjusted the mindset a little.
