Langdon and Petty. Five absolute sitters missed between them.

we have gone extended periods with viney oliver gawn and lever on the bench. this is amazing how we've held on

he was very good in the first half. but badly drops off when there is a touch of pressure.

full back.

.... forward.

He's been okay. Windsor too. Moniz looks like a 50-gamer though.

Blatant holding the ball against Bailey. Shocking not decision BT mistaking Sweet Caroline for Country Roads just about sums up his commentary. We got this. You can tell they're hungry.

I don't mind Daniher but gee he just has an annoying face.

Keep it up!

We can so win this.

I might be crazy but we look the better team. They're getting free kicks and we're also turning the ball over too much. If we tightwn things up more we should get more isolation forward. But they're at 60% F50 conversion. They don't lose at the Gabba when it's >50%.

JVR Viney Oliver our best so far. and pickett.

i think the pressure just builds as the season goes on. i don't think he is running on fumes. he'll be better for the run.

This is the kind of game good clubs just steal. Even in a "down" year. Hawthorn. Geelong. Collingwood. They bring fire in games like these.

Now out to $5.50. More a reflection of Brisbane's form or ours? I reckon we'd be rank outsiders at the MCG as well.

Brisbane average 10 (!) more inside 50s a game than us. At a 46% conversion that's approx 4 goals which is about the difference purely on a averages front. We absolutely need to force and win the stoppage clearance as much as possible and slow their entries forward. Force their shots to the pockets. If we have any chance at all then Pickett, Petty and Fritsch need to kick at least 6 goals between them. Assuming the likes of Rivers, Gawn, JVR, Chandler, ANB, Sparrow and Viney can each hit the scoreboard at some point. If we can kick 12+ goals against keep them to <40% inside-50 conversion we win. We can beat this mob.

Is Grundy available

West Coast would have been crazy not to accept our trade offer + 2 more first round picks. They definitely would have accepted if it included 2025s picks.

And we won by 40 points!

We're out to $5.10 Has to be the longest odds we've had probably since 2016.

Very happy with this. I hope we see Windsor, Thorp, Andy, Woewodin, and Brown in the side for the rest of the season. Seems Goodwin and Co. have finally given up on trying to rediscover 2021's form.

Essendon on ANZAC Day 1992? One of my earliest football memories. We kicked the first of the last. Essendon just went BANG BANG BANG x3 and won.

gold coast needs to start winning away from home if they're gonna play finals.

If West Coast wins we'll be half a game off top 4. Bizarre season.

I remember earlier in the season when we played Hawthorn, saying to my Hawks mate that I'd never seen a team try so hard and be so bad. It is not surprising they are playing the way they are playing. They are hungry. North is too. They believe in what they are doing. Part of the problem is just that; we have the talent but we are playing poorly. But we aren't just playing poorly. We badly lack connection and synergy. There is no connection. We don't make many errors because we don't win many "moments". North won all of the "moments" tonight and should have won. Even with Lever and Petracca out, I expect us to struggle but we are playing with no identity and have since the Geelong win. There is no excitement or energy in what we do. It's just process and that's it. I know it's cliche but they're not playing for each other atm.
