Red But Mostly Blue

FINALLY!

Get Clarry some goal kicking practice please!

That was Charlie's goal, great work! BOOM! Now let's bury them.

Pressure has been fantastic!

Lucky end to the quarter. We were outplayed and a little flat for most of that quarter so should have plenty in the tank to run over them now. Thought Brown had a good QTR (and good game overall). Hasn't kicked a bag, I didn't think he would, but he's been present, in the right spots and delivered well into the 50. I reckon he'll sink one in Q4. A confidence building game so far.

Port fans going bananas. I love it. What a goal from the big man! That curl!

YES! We needed that, not only to stem the flow but also to break the run of points! Let's string a few (goals) together now.

We're getting creamed by Georgiadis this quarter. How did we lose that with a 2 on 1? WE NEED SOME GOALS NOW.

Ben Brown's vision and delivery into the 50 has been very good! How funny is that.

We need some quick goals, snuff em out.

How come it's good umpiring when Fritter slips and cops it high?!?!

I don't like blaming the umps but they're keeping port in this. Motlop DROPPED the ball! Mind you, kicking straight to Alir is not smart footy. Brown was right behind him. Kick it a little higher, Jesus.

Petty has been seriously good.

Gotta pay that, stellar mark, happy he missed!

Great 1 v 1 by Petty

So we haven't had the usual 1st half snooze. We've clearly come out with belief, looking to make a statement. We own the 3rd quarter. If some of the quieter boys stand up, we chuck a tag on Boak, and continue to press, we'll run away with this. We're going to come out dishing punishment for that BS umpire's goal. Go Dees!

Every. Damn. Time!

Can they just throw Harmes onto Boak for the second half? He's not done much, so may as well cancel Boak.

Buuuuuuuuullllllllsssshhhhhhhhiiiiiitttttt free paid against May. Dixon has done nothing, looking forward to May continuing the clinic against him in the second half.

Looks like winning clearances is very handy! Also, it's great to see us getting those junk time goals, and not having them kicked against us!

Get ready for a 1st QTR blitz (in our favour)! I'm v̶e̶r̶y̶ m̶o̶s̶t̶l̶y̶ kind of confident. (I was a little worried about this game and probably still am but we have to have faith in these new Dees. There will be bumps along the way, but geez we've come a long way already). We're getting there, and tonight we'll expose another pretender. Go Dees!

Completely agree. Fritter is not, and should not be our #1 forward target - therefore attracting unnecessary attention. Now he won't be, and should have a lot more space!

I don't mind if we lose (obviously I want to win, and think we will/should/can/please?!?), but I think the non negotiable, given last week and how this game sets up the trajectory of the next 6 weeks (i.e. a loss has us scrapping for a top 4, or 2 games clear if we win), is that we come out BREATHING FIRE from the first bounce!!!

BBBBBB!!!

I agree with this, I'll be chuffed if he presents well, clunks a few and kicks 1 or 2. Our biggest losing margin was 17, so if he kicks 1 or 2 (being deliveries that presumably would have sailed over the heads of some of the shorter guys), we are already pretty much there - all we need is more consistent 4 qtr intensity, and the other guys to convert.
