Good to see the melb press aren't letting mick off lightly.

really proud of our effort tonight. Just can't match the pies for execution. Just don't hope it doesn't blow out to 60pts in the last or the first 3 quarter effort will quickly be forgotten.

also.
Only HT i know.
but Clint Jones has been epic.
Had to say it now so it doesn't get lost if this one blows out a bit.

from my extremely biased point of view, should be a point in it.
Dal pushed as he kicked it for the Beams goal then how Johnson wasn't called for holding the ball i will never know.

one of the stranger sub selections, i would've thought.

Just want to see what the view about the latest umpiring craze over the last year or maybe 2 years - to award a free kick against a player because he has averted his eyes from the ball to look at this opponent, even if only fleetingly. I didn't (and still don't) have a problem with the front-on-cont...

Nothing in it.

Has its genesis in rugby league folklore. Back in the late 80s or early 90s, Mario Fenech aka "the Maltese Falcon" was running off to the interchange bench behind play and someone passed the ball to him and it bounced off his head. The term 'falcon' for a ball hitting someone in the head w...

Fantastic team effort tonight. Really challenged, but responded in a way that only good teams do.

Geez just realised I've been harsh on Dempster, who was fantastic again. Sorry Seano.

My biggest fear with this narrow scoreline is that Hill and Fyfe have had 5 and 7 touches. Can we keep them quiet for 4 quarters?

Kosi u beauty.

Bit hard to tell on TV but Peake and Armo both look to be working really hard with gut running into space.

Blake fantastic in the goalsquare there.

Can somebody refresh my memory about Rix? I seem to remember him kicking a goal with his first kick in the AFL. From memory it was late in the 2nd Q v Sydney in Sydney in the wet. I was at that game. Pretty sure the game was only 5 mins or so old when Rixy kicked his goal. I think it was the first ...

Been credited with a hitout?

that's great news - good luck mate.
And well done to the club.

Looks like normal service has been resumed.
Aided by a couple of injured bombers which could slow them to a walk by last qtr.

i hope it's my post and not this thread that turns out to be premature. Last thing we need is Essendon to get one over the Pies here, god knows what sort of momentum and belief that would give them. They have started extraordinarily well.

Apologies: Raph and BJ.

That said, the Gold Coast have missed a lot of shots on goal, but it looks like they're putting in far more effort. I disagree a bit here. Only watching on telly but i thought our effort has been good, execution pretty horrid. The tackling, repeat efforts, one percenters are all there. Just having ...
