not sure if serious, but it feels really bad here. lots of pointing, players feeling hardly done by. not controlling the things they can control. second to the ball.

that number 9 can play a bit

turn around Kossie. Burnt Langdon

Thank heavens for the defence. Nothing happening forward of the ball. Langdon can’t get into it. Spargo of his game. Are we being out coached? (non rhetorical question)

Careful. it might be vice-versa

He’s a gun. Watching him play live it’s like they have an extra man. He’s not perfect but he’s a gun.

it’s shocker, isn’t it. It’s got real Sunday afternoon 4;20pm game, circa 2014, feels.

thanks dees. sorry. i’ve just blown a gasket with fritter and spargo doing a comedy act. the bloke in the seat in front of me is concerned for my health!

ANB and Brayshaw in the wings. Is langdon injured?

out coached

not good enough. the atmosphere here is amazing not the umpires we played dry weather footy and thought we could turn it on any time we like. collingwood will kill us.

it’s a bloody good ground to watch footy at. Trac is showing signs of life. Fritter playing up the ground a bit

how to beat melbourne part A: never bomb the ball, kicks on the 45. Part B: win all the contested ball measures. HTF does a team with Oliver Petracca Viney Gawn and Brayshaw get beaten at the coal face? And yes, it does matter. We’re not winning “the next” possession either.

love him. who goes out for Salem? a lovely problem to have!

What is this relaxed feeling at half time, and thinking we’ll probably win? Enjoying the game from the 4th level….

I saw a mean steak to Petty that i hadn’t noticed before. Not miserly, mean Excellent

The crowd looks like Sunday afternoon footy in the Jurrah, Tapscott, Bate era.

Not many here yet. Hopefully it will fill up. If we don’t win this then as well as watching the sky falling in, we will be able to ask if we are getting the most out of our generational list.

It's an extraordinary problem. If we're winning, it doesn't matter... but not infrequently, Goodwin hasn't made changes when games are slipping away. Just more of the same. He won us a flag, so he gets plenty (nearly infinite!) credit, but I am not sure how good a game-day coach he is.

At the G Saturday night with 70000 others enjoying a great concert. And the drummer proudly wearing the jumper! (Apologies for the quality of the photo) Hope every one enjoys the break and stays safe Go Dees.

My old man was with the club (not as a player) in the early 60s (so I have been there in person for one flag!), and I had 31 on my jumper of course. After RDB went to Carlton I didn't know what number to get. Hassa Mann and Tassie Johnson were the next captains, but I had met Frank Davis at the club (played on the half back flank in the 64 premiership), and he was always willing to have chat and a kick at the end of training. So number 6 it was (he was number 40 early in his career), and thus my username. Great topic!

Agree 100%. I hate to bring them up but Daicos x 2, Elliot, Pendlebury, DeGoey, Sidebottom - all are very very good users of the ball. Have a look (if you can) at Collingwood's win - brilliant field kicking.

This is a very important observation. Last year, we were the best third quarter team in the competition.

both.
