Deecisive

heavy tag on oliver as expected, no frees for the constant holding, high tackles, etc.. gawn constantly being held and pushed in the back and gets nothing.

we out scored them in the 2nd which is supposed to be one of their best quarters. Time for the fitter dees to run over the top of them.

Great first half, our kicking for goal was awesome, then we fell back to kicking points. Everyone is doing their job, just keep it going dees.

just heard of a massive out for us Razor ray is out. so what umpires do we end up with this week and what is our history with them, or more importantly what is Geelongs history with them

Happy for the cats to talk themselves up and try to convince themselves and their supporters they are the better side. but look up the ladder and you see Melbourne FC on Top. Look at the games you played and who you lost to and you see Melbourne FC. They knew what they had to do to beat melbourne after their first lose early in the season and still failed. So knowing what to do, and being able to execute it are two different things. Melbourne by 27points.

need to win this last quarter. They came back hard that quarter as we knew they would. our 2 points did not help but they are still 19 points behind. we cannot play defensive , that looks like weakness that they will pounce on, put them away. attack. Go Dees

we know we came back from bigger margins, and the lions will know a 15minute slip from the dees like we did against Geelong gets them back into the game. So the Lions will come out hard this quarter to try to turn it around. we need to stand tall and extend that lead, we need to starve them of chances and impact their confidence around the ball and goal. Go Dees

the whole team is playing reasonably well, as a team. keep going dees run it out.

a good quarter could have been great if we had kicked straight. still a handy lead, now start again and build on it, dont go into a shell and try to defend. Need to continue to attack, and preferably kick straighter. Fritch probably needs to banana kicks more when he is on a 45 degree angle as he seems to miss these the most. Go Dees

both sides playing well, thought they have a high reliance on charlie cameron, time to close him down tight.our ball handling has been pretty good, goal kicking has been pretty good compared to many games. Go dees

I think that is his realisation S**t we will be playing port in Adelaide next week face.

we won and won well and l believe we very much deserved to win it. But I think Geelong lost this, they had ample opportunity to take the points but started to play kick to kick in the 3rd quarter to waste time, that really backfired on them. we only scored a couple of goals in that quarter which gave us confidence yet still had them thinking they had it in the bag, after all how many times would they have lost at home from there. Our magnificent quick burst of goals in the last shook them and they panicked. They still tried to play keepings off, i dont know how many times i screamed at the TV for our guys to man up because they were not looking to move it down the field where they could lose it, they were just trying to run down the clock. At the end when Seldwoods kick along the boundary and out, not deemed deliberate, when Brayshaws was, when it was obvious that there was only one team out there trying to waste time and everyone even the umpires knew that was Geelong. I thought we need a miracle to pull it out of the bag from there. Their kickin from the brayshaw deliberate out was intended to stay close to the boundary so they could bundle it over for another time wasting throw in, if that had worked we would have lost, or even if we had taken the free from that position on the ground they would have flooded the backline and we probably would have lost. But Karma's a [censored]. that punch after it went over the boundary to again waste time was fitting revenge for the numerous deliberates against us not being paid. Great win Dees.

what an awesome win. a bit of umpiring karma there. Umpire judged that Melbourne deliberately kicked it out of bounds when that was obviously not the intent. if they had thrown it in we may not have won. but thankfully the geelong player shanked it and it went out and we got 50, beautiful pass to maxy and a goal.

they have only had a couple of more shots at goal than us, but here we are losing by 30+ points. a little better by the team at least they did not run away with it. but quite frankly we are the team behind they are playing keepings off and we are letting them. dumb football, man up. it would also be good if they actually tackled the geelong players a little more often. The umpires could pay dropping the ball and holding the ball against geelong occasionally just to make it look impartial.

well that was a woeful quarter. take oliver out of the picture we fall apart, especially with Petracca being held. too many passengers, we cannot handle their short game and our kicking efficiency sucks big time.

Was that dalhaus mark really 15 meters? some good play some poor marking of players, letting them pass it around to easily putting all of the pressure on our backline to defend and rebound. need to cover their short passing by manning up a bit more. otherwise a good quarter, if only we could kick straight for goal we would be an unbeatable side.

If we have a couple of players who need a rest to freshen up for the Geelong game now is the time to rest them. Bowey coming in did not weaken us, another one or two should not make a huge difference. I expect our players to come out firing after getting beaten by Adelaide last time. This will be in Melbourne away from the Adelaide/Umpire/crowd, so it should be a very different game. We could have injuries during the finals so nice to try a couple of other players to see how well our reserves slot in.

what a pitiful effort in that last quarter , must have thought they had it won and didnt have to turn up

our chance to go to the top of the ladder again and with a couple more wins, especially against Geelong, stay there. Players need to pull their finger out and get moving.

the second quarter was pretty poor. our players are too slow at moving the ball on. May needs to look for open players rather than kicking down the line all the time. we need to lift and lift badly. The umpiring has not been great, but what do you expect in eagle land. Too many of our players are not chasing and putting pressure on the eagles defense or midfield.

This on paper should be an easy win for the Dees. but the way we have played this year take nothing as a given. we have lost against sides that we shouldnt have. need to stay focused and try to kick straight and well and truly beat them.

Hey, this is Viney, remember the first person they absolutely flogged for a dangerous tackle, what was that 6 weeks. Now people are getting off with a fine. Now the AFL wants to make another statement Viney will likely be made the scapegoat and get 4-6. They will spin bull about protecting the head, while they let anyone belt gawny in the head each time he goes for a mark.

Time to lawyer up and put pressure on the AFL for the obvious discriminatory practices. As i recall we lost out this year as well as they took part of the NT zone off us and gave it to another team (goldcoast?). this is not an even competition if and others keep getting screwed over while they dance around the rules and change them to suit other clubs.

the dogs running and overlap game is killing our standard fence them in along the boundary line. our players are not chasing, this is no different from what collingwood and hawthorn did to us. we are fine while we control the narrative but when they run the ball out of defense especially after a point we have no players there. there is no manning up any more we let them take the easy kick out and then overlap to run it down the ground. I dont see much future with this team if they cannot adapt to this style of play.

wow talk about putting a target on fritters back. How many umpires and opposition supporters will read this and then look at fritters actions in a different way putting more pressure on the umpires to call frees and report him. this is a disgusting use of the media platform. if dermie wants to shout about players doing nasty things then why not talk about the number of times that Gawny goes for a mark and is deliberately hit in the head by opposition players, mumford does this regularly. I think the commentators call it pressure. no one gets reported for that, open season on wacking someone in a marking contest, which Fritter is probably well aware of as he is more often than not the one whacked, cruched, pushed into other players and buried in the ground when he goes for a mark.
