We’ve always been a quiet crowd and even our Cheer squad doesn’t seem to have the same voice as a lot of other teams. 60,000 members plus MCC and only 15-30k turning up, what’s the problem? Are they content now that we’ve won one?

Last year we were trying to prove ourselves and hunting teams with intense pressure. This year they are want to measure themselves against us , bringing the intensity and tackling pressure, against us. We have to change our mindset and go after these teams,( especially the ones in the 8), with manic tackling pressure like we did last year. The rest will take care of itself , and when the general May returns, we will be right, but we have to bring the intense pressure, because just cruising through games without the mongrel hunting mindset will get us caught out against the better teams

If Weed was in form and making the most of his chances he would be in the team, but he is not , So he can’t complain. Then again With TMac out and Ben Brown being in such putrid form do we have any other option? Going by Goodies presser he is more a fan of Mitch Brown, so we might see a Weed , Mitch Brown combo next week. Bedford on the other hand has made an impact every time he gets his chance, so it’s probably time to give home a longer block of senior games.

We are struggling being the hunted

Couldn’t take a mark in our forward line to save ourselves. If Gawn wasn’t there would’ve lost by a lot more. their match winning goals were both very iffy fee kicks

Skills on show tonight

Pass of the year from Petracca to Langdon

Bloody good to see Salem and Langdon out there

You’ve been on the sauce

Thommo and Mitch Brown. Good mates off the field who be absolutely rapt to be in the seniors together.

Mitch Brown is out there warming up

Dearly missed our two most important players after Clarry today, in May and Langdon . Which made it very hard against another top 4 side. With Trac looking very flat like he was carrying something or had a bit of flu I don’t know, and Brown copping a bath two weeks in a row now , we were primed for a loss. Out marked all over the park we really need guys like Salem, TMac , Harmes , Langdon and May. Melksham , Dunstan and Weed ain’t the answer.

Sauce has added spice and Milkshake seems to have a thirst for the contest today.

Sauce has been impressive. Milkshake too.

This rule has become farcical and turning the game into a laughing stock. 50 meters for lifting your arms up in a questioning palms up gesture shouldn’t be 50 meters at all. Verbal assault is fair enough but not for simply putting your palms up and moving your arms. No wonder crowds are down with these clowns running the show.

Trac seems to be able to do what ever he wants, even with 3 or 4 blokes hanging off him. The confidence in each other is sky high and they just take the game on and know they can pile on the goals at any stage of the game. Brilliant football by our boys despite the putrid umpiring performance.
