Red But Mostly Blue

How so? But even then, even if no breeze, we kicked a solitary goal in a whole quarter, which is poor. And I guess if the breeze has dropped, there should be no impediment to us kicking 4 in the final quarter, right?

I keep chipping in heaps of bucks but it seems this club keeps using my money to buy potato seeds. I'd love a solid, reliable FF.

1 goal with the breeze. 4 goals to get against the breeze? Easy peasy

That's about as bad a first half as I've seen. Eerily similar to the Port game. We're being shown up by the titans of footy in 2020 - the bloody Swans! What the hell!? The teams below us must love it. They know they can have a crack at a spot in the 8 while we're in there! And we wonder why we're not taken seriously as a club? We've got no heart. And the rare times that it does beat, it is short-lived and replaced by dead silence. We're a club that needs to be resuscitated by accumulated disgust from its members and Board. Let's see if we grow some balls and a little heart in the second half (we're going to need it given the predicament we've put ourselves in!), but I won't hold my breath. I've seen this movie before and know how it ends. Pathetic.

Lol Jones Time to retire, champ.

I hope we get 'into' this game before it's over. We're making the Swans look like THEY'RE the team vying for the finals. Woeful.

Yeah fair he wasn't terrible. On the upside he's the better of the Wagners haha. Look, I'm not a fan and today was far from the worst I've seen him, and if him playing alright down there means we get Harmes back to where he needs to be, I'm ok with that.

A Wagner's true home is the bench. Bench Wagner.

The 4 points should go to May. A deadset one man fortress. (But to be fair, Salem, Trac, Rivers, Langdon, Lever and Weed were also great ). A lot of passengers, though. Which is disappointing, but also kind of promising - imagine who we can beat if they get involved!

We've lost so many close ones to the Saints in recent times - makes this so much sweeter!

TRRRRAAACCCCCCCCC! 3 v 1 Suck it, Sainters!

Our season hangs on this last quarter. Have we got the guts? Some of the quieter guys need to stand up. It's amazing we've stayed in this with do many passengers!

May has been immense. Not just today but pretty much all year. A dead set one man fortresses, but also great to see him floating about delivering i50!

Good to see OMac really imposing himself in the game in that last minute... ?‍♂️

I'm also worried because ANB is technically up for selection next week... all it takes is for one or two dud performances this week, and he'll naturally float into the 'let's try this again' space.

What did Lockhart do to earn the drop? He's been pretty alright to me! And WAGNER? He's back!? I thought we'd seen the end of the Wagners! ...At least that's what I had hoped! Harmes hasn't been great. But he also hasn't been played in the right position either. Still, probably the kick up the pants he needs to fire up. Happy with Rivers inclusion, though.

As usual, it was just a mirage....

After we answered some questions in the last few weeks, but given the quality of the opposition, many questions were asked of us. Looks like the real Dees stood up today. Let's see whether we have any guts in the last qtr. If they can kick 6 unanswered goals, so can we I guess, but I can't see it based on Q3.

Seeing pieces finally come together... Making the 8... AND smashing the pies? That's a good night.

It's weird to say it, but the best thing about the game so far has been the fact that there are quite a few of the boys who aren't yet firing. We are capable of so much more, today and in general, just got to keep believing and working on the basics.

Geez, 3 weeks ago we couldn't buy a goal. Didn't even know where they were. But here we are against more formidable opponents (at least compared to the Roos and Adelaide), and we're direct, creative, energetic, and relentless in our own 50. Heck, even Tom Mc is taking grabs and looking like a target of sorts. Much better structure, energy and focus. Great half of footy. More, please!

In my mind, Fritter was paid the mark (because it was), he went back and kicked a goal from 60 to get his kicking mojo back.

A perfect example of Langdon's 'terrible' kicking skills... ?

That goal is on Lever. He had a paddock there, don't know how he was going to shepherd it all the way to the boundary, at least without looking really suss. Stupid play.

Spargo has had a pretty tough trot on here, and I guess sometimes it's been earned, but geez he's been great these last few weeks. It's a role we really need and if he keeps going like this, he will add immense value. The kid has got footy smarts and tries his guts out, even if what he does doesn't always work.
