if someone tells us we are tired because we have played X games in Y days not sure what I will say. We really should be a little further in front to state the obvious.

It's games like this that Weid should love as a third tall

From the AFL site: "Melbourne has stretched the lead to 32 points at the final change after a tighter quarter. The Demons have entered forward 50 on 63 occasions, already above their season full game average (57.7) and the most by any team to three-quarter time this year. " One day this team will click ... hopefully I am alive to see it

yes.... but we never do... would be nice though

Ah... bit like the game before the contract signing game but this is the game before Viney returns game

5:6 TO 4:2 that quarter ... we really should have buried them

thank you Charlie !!

a goal to end the quarter would be nice ... if it's for us

good steadier there ... now back to that 50 plus point win please

36 points up and a million miles in front on the inside 50's. Can't lose .... can we?

bit of a concern.. would be nice to see him tear it apart this half

we should win this one ladies and gentlemen.... hopefully we can now enjoy the rest of the game

Big quarter ... outscore them by 24 points and then run away in the last. That's what a good team does

welcome back .. everyone that quarter was a roller coaster From the AFL site: Melbourne surrendered the lead during the quarter but take a 22-point lead to half time. The Demons have gone inside forward 50 on 45 occasions, the highest half time tally by the club on record and by any team since Adelaide in Round 10 2017.

well .. that's not good. Now we're behind a team that has hardly had it down their end. Does it say something about our style of play?

was that our good quarter or our bad one ? Seriously..ahead by miles on every stat and just ahead on the scoreboard.

9-1 inside fifties and we are behind ....interesting

the Blues are up 11 points ... after going behind by 2 this is becoming interesting

so where were Parkside from ? Sounds like the Reservoir teams of old

Blues hit the front late in the third quarter. The Bomber equivalent of the Richmond microwave could be warming up !

do they have one of those swimming pools for the Southerners to watch the game from ?

yeah but if he kicked as well as he handballs he could be a legend. That is not a criticism of his level of play at present which is very good but it is a fact and this thread is about who will be the best.

the glorious thing is that a win against Carlton by a small margin will be seen by the Bomber supporters as almost a loss while still depressing the Carlton crew. Not sure what a draw would do for the respective phsyches? God I fear a round 23 repeat next week.

when teams go defensive as Carlton did last year and Suns may do today, our game plan does not stand up very well as we just end up with a super crowded forward line from which the other side escapes occasionally and scores. Hopefully as in last week we relax the press a little and open up our forward line to allow it to function.

thanks .. was thinking much the same during the week. Went down I think for the third quarter last week as well as shorter outages during the week. Happy to give a little if it helps. This is a fantastic site as are the posters ! Go Dees
