Red But Mostly Blue

Hit targets across the ground, stop binging it in.

Did we fly across yesterday to train? Doesn’t look like it!! Anyway despite being terrible, we’re only a goal or so down. It’s annoying because the cats aren’t even playing that well! It’s just that they’re not making as many dumb decisions as us. Better skills and capitalising off our errors. If we sharpen up, we will win this.

Dumb turnovers And we persist with bombs into the 50 Yawn, it’s like I’ve seen this movie before?

Haha sorry I was exaggerating for comedic value saying he was a ruler length away from goal, but it failed lol. Yeah was about 15m, too close to miss those

Still really upset about Smith missing from 30cm out. Can’t miss those obviously. We look messy, sloppy so far.

WHAT A WIN, SEASON FIRED UP! We kept top of the table to 62 points and had we kicked straight we would have won by a lot more. The first 4 qtr effort for the year and maybe in a long time. Against quality oppo. So proud of the boys, MORE of this pls! Grundy is GRINNING! Go Dees!!

Wow, putrid free

PHEW Only fair they missed one, given the million chances we’ve given them!

Salo ❤️❤️

We missed Salo so much. Elite reader of the game.

My lord, finally!!!! please, please my doctor says no more stress. Can we string a few more together? Please?

WTAF

hopefully that’s not the difference we miss a similar opportunity, they take theirs. Got to take chances against the pies

Kozzie needs to stand up. And I don’t mean to attempt some ridiculous mark. Somebody. And likely some of our guys will need to do special things to hold off the notoriously fast finishing pies.

THAT’S HOLDING THE BALL!!

GRUNDDDYYYYYY!!!!!!!!! Love to see it!!

So unlucky, Kozzie

Goals fell great, right!!?? Let’s get some more of them!!

My takeaway from the first half is that we’re in this thanks to some solid effort around the ground, our goal kicking has gone to hell, and we CAN win this. But will we? hint: it’ll take more than points to do it.

Bobby Hill free? I’d take him. Knows where the goals are!!

Yep millions of learnings. Players (in a premiership team) are still learning. Can’t wait to see what we learn 😊

Light years between these teams.

Goes without saying that the we can’t give the pies those sorts of chances.

I don’t think we’ve handled being the hunted team very well, as demonstrated by our sorry record against the pies, even in our premiership year. We went into the last few contests as favourites and today we don’t which makes sense. By rights they win today, they’re playing better, are in better form and we have not found our groove yet. BUT Our best can beat them, so am obviously hoping to see that today. Honestly I’ll be ok with a loss and I’ll feel better about the second half of the year as long as the loss is narrow and the boys dig in for FOUR QUARTERS! Would LOVE a win though. Go Dees!!

Now that the dust has settled a bit, it was a very ugly game, but what I loved was McVee, JVR (best game?), Kozzie’s goal, some of our good defensive work and Maxy’s goal at the end.
