If Ben Brown kicks straight and turns the 2.2 and one out on the full to 5 goals straight or even 4.1 it’s a different story. McDonald had a quiet game but that won’t happen every week. Conditions weren’t great for either of them and if some of the umpiring decisions were called the same way for both teams, then it’s a different story. Let’s just stay calm. There were a lot of positives to come from the game, and the negatives are easy fixes.

Although I was [censored] off last night with the result, I’ve woken up feeling quite optimistic. We had our chances early. If we can start converting we’ll be hard to stop. With everything that went against us and some lapses of concentration around stoppages in our D50 which can easily be fixed, I think this was the first step to being back to where we were at the start of the year.

Are you in iso?

Yeah that it. If they continue and knock off Brisbane, the less likely we are to take them lightly

Yeah he might not last the week. They were still a chance for the 8 and they’ve produced this.

I like the fake crowd noise but I think an apprentice is operating it tonight.

That’s exactly my thinking. Last week I was nervous every time the ball went long into our D50 only because every time the hawks talls bought the ball to ground, their smalls were first at the ground ball. I worry about Weightman, Hunter, Smith swooping in the ground ball. Midfield pressure has to ramp up so their F50 entries come from dump kicks. That’s where our intercept marking comes into play

Perfect weather for getting away with throwing the ball.

I’m not sure what I’m more confused about. Your selections above or which emoji to select to this post.

Haha that’s brilliant. I actually laughed out loud.

Did I just hear Ralphy correctly? Are we now scheduled to play Bulldogs next week instead of GC?

Give me one reason why it’s a complete joke? Their home game and no crowds. Makes sense to me, especially if we can move our game against them to the G when crowds are back ?

That was James Brayshaw. His quote was ‘he slipped so it doesn’t matter’. I chocked on my whisky when he said that. Couldn’t believe what I heard.

My theory about that earlier today seems to have some merit. Hopefully it proves dividends towards the end of the year.

I think the dip in form may be contributed to an increase in training load. I don’t know this as fact but it could well possibly be a reason. Since we’ve got the wins on the board I can see the fitness staff ramping up the training loads in preparation for September. That could be why our pressure has dropped slightly over the last few weeks. Once we nailed the wins against the dogs and lions I reckon a bit of forward planning has come into it to ramp up training, like a mini preseason to get the boys ready for the tail end of the season.

Oh my god. I could not stand that [censored]. His name still makes me quiver.

My man Ralphy has delivered the goods. Now official. Thursday night v Port

I hate Geelong just as much. I’m only going for essendon to widen the gap between us and Geelong

Yeah my bad. Jumped the gun of the official part. But Ralphy it’s tweeting it. I know he’s been wrong before but that’s on more important issues. I don’t think his sources would spin the truth on next rounds fixturing. Ah bugger it, I’m calling it. I’m going with Ralphy on this occasion ?

Official. Next week Thursday night fixture for Port v Dees ?

It would make them 10th

We won our first 6 games without Brown or Weideman. Structurally forward of Centre is not quite right at the moment. We’ve made a habit of making adjustments at half time. Let’s hope tonight is another one of those occasions.

If they can win their next 2 before that 5 game stretch and get some real confidence, it’ll be good if they can upset one of Geelong, Brisbane or West Coast as I think we have the toughest run home out of the top 4 sides.
