Chook

Terrible defending. Hibberd on Gray, and then Brayshaw left all on his own on Dixon.

Great quarter ruined by a Melbourne trademark goal conceded in the last minute.

Great effort there from Vince to track the ball and get a turnover into 50.

2 teams who are both not really used to playing good sides. Not composed at all.

Murphy's a good thinker (and his love for Flower is a positive), but he's not a great interviewer so far.

Tyson's just oblivious.

It's a long season, injuries are debilitating, and most teams are shite. We can still win this flag.

I'll bet you on that one.

This is making me feel a hell of a lot better about our Collingwood loss. I've rated the Pies all year, so to see us lose against them was never awful (though it was terrible); but to see the up-and-down Bombers beat top-of-the-ladder West Coast makes me feel good. At least our top 2 forwards are playing, which is more than we can say about West Coast.

How on Earth did we beat Essendon? They're exactly the kind of fast-running team we'd lose by 60 to.

It was 2017-esque at worst. Lever wasn't with us last year; the worst we can expect is our 2017 defence, which realy wasn't all that bad to begin with. +1 more year it has no excuses.

He comes off as "try-hard down-to-Earth". I don't hate him, but I see it…and I get why others do.

Should be called "Robert". Where'd this Bob crap come from?

Who can they get that's better than him? The Saints just have a terrible list.

If only we could take advantage of Gawn's hit-outs to advantage. Last week was deplorable in that regard.

Definitely the Dogs. The umpires are at least doing what they're told.

0/4 against good sides this year, and flogged in every one we've played since Round 1. I have some massive doubts over our gameplan now. I thought we were going down the right road with our contested focus but we've been smashed in that area against good sides. Flat as a tack right now.

Ripping game of footy. Collingwood is the real deal. We're not quite there.

That Pedersen mark is why he's our best 3rd tall option.

Oscar's returning to his 2017 baby giraffe form.

Collingwood are a man down on the bench with Wells getting injured there. We should be able to run over them if we keep playing well.

This is the top 4 quality side we've come to know and love over the past 2 months.

Gawn's trying too hard.

2 quick ones and we're getting back into it.

10 scoring shots to 2. This game should by all rights be over but we're somehow still kind of in it. I can't see us winning despite squaring things up slightly in the last 5 minutes.
