They're starting to dominate in the air. Nothing kick by Kent

Someone do something about Pruess. We’re making him look like a star

Why can’t we kick from that pocket? Acres & Billings and Kent???

Great job weathering the storm and then hitting back that quarter.

I wish so much that Billings was a good set shot at goal, all that’s keeping him from being a genuine A grade star

7.2 looks good but there’s been a few on the full or dropping short.

We finished off that quarter very well. We need to come out and continue this from the 1st bounce of the 3rd.
We haven't had a good start to the 2nd half so far this season.


Think of me long enough to make a memory.

We need to stop their run, and need to get more accurate in front of goal.
Good signs are there, but Dees could work us over if we give them space, need to lock them

If his form continues by season end he’ll be in the AA squad of 40 if not the team.

Wow. We're not actually playing that well, but our intensity and second efforts cannot be faulted.

And look what happens when you just keep grinding! The opposition can't get their own game going.

Now, Melbourne are a good side, with good players. They'll get momentum again in this game and will string 2-3-4 goals in a row.

The question at that moment will be do we submit, or find a way to continue our manic pressure and push on to Q4 32:30?

A big test of the fitness and dedication of this group. A win today would do wonders for belief.


Clueless and mediocre petty tyrant.

Looks like we’re loving the big wide ground and actually kicking to advantage. Gotta keep the intensity up.

Very good second half of that quarter. It felt like the Dees were poised to kick away, but we wrestled back control.

Membrey’s judgment of the ball flight in marking contests is terrific.

I have a bunch of Dees supporters behind me. They sure do not have an IQ test for membership of that club .

We need to keep nullifying their talls.

Very uncomfortable at present. Look at the stats and we are getting beating on almost everything. It is 9 shots each (excl out n full). Dees will pick it up which worries me a little.

Kent’s been ok in the first half.
Would like him to dish off to the first option.

Gresham & Billings continue their form & Lonie.

The last time I saw a Saints ream tackle and harass with such intent was 09 & 10.

They are ferocious at the ball and opposition.

Win lose or draw you can’t knock the endeavor.
