They still have an extra man back ffs. It's our kryptonite.

It's not just their outside run. They've been harder at the contest, better coached and much more disciplined

You watch.. We'll kick a fewgoals in the fourth quarter, and Roos will tell us at the press conference that we fought back, that we're a young team, and that it's disappointing. Not enough anger... And yes, it's important that we do see that the coaches care. It's easy to be happy in victory, but what does defeat men for them?

Just to cheer me up a bit, the queues for food are miles long

I wonder if we can return to the lock down mode for a bit and dry up their run?

Exactly.

EXACTLY. Salem has been on him too... Whist in charge of this defensive rabble? We know they can defend, I suspect we are being out coached.

CP underwhelming at this stage. Didn't want to say it, but yep. Absolutely.

Huge right to left on CP kick. Not good

It might be time for tmac to stand next to Roo. Maybe?

We could really do with Oliver's composure.

The saints are playing a loose in defense. That was how to best us last year. Wonder if we have learnt anything?

They're believing the publicity ..The Dee's have to work hard to win.. Really hard. And they're not

Well it's the same fast brand of footy, but they're manic around the contest too. I think we're good enough to win, but don't know if we're composed enough to win

And dunny is stupid

Why is jetta or Salem on reiwold?

Yep... Huge right to left on the kick.

Walked into the ground and couldn't work out why Hogan was wearing number 5. I tell you, CP is a big unit. Hope he plays his role, and the Dee's get up. Can't quite get to optimism...

Is this Brayshaw's second concussion?

When was the last time we got a coach sacked!? Nice reversal of roles

Let's see how we set up this quarter. I reckon this is a real treat of the coaches

Pendles getting in to it. Viney needs to lock him down. Boys need to keep being brave.

Not sure what to do about all of this... Wonderful tough footy... It works be a dream come true to smash them

They are fast and tall. I don't think we match up well and I'm worried. Plenty of Dees support here...

Not sure that's true - I think most of us have watched the game. I will always follow the red and blue - I can't give up. But they've lost my trust... again, this year. It takes a long time to build up trust once lost.
