Wheels are wobbling, thank god for half time

McLean has been really good.

Now the question is: a) can we keep the intensity up? b) can we keep Daisy down? c) can we counter the moves Bucks will make?

This has heartbreak written all over it.

I reckon we'll win if we can keep this intensity up. They look soft to me, and all their goals are from our errors.

Just need few bounces to go our way early next half to send us on our way.

Is it just me or are Thomas's possessions really junky?

And this is where real impact makes a mockery of stats.

Judd has played his guts out and impacted on the game but Swann has 16 stats.

Don't get the backward kicking - just don't getit. Why give them 100m of ground and risk a turnover?

Don'tgetit.

Excellent to see, for whatever reason, Cloke getting all of his marks/kicks/touches up high on the wing. He is much more damaging from FF

Who is McInnes playing on?
reckon whoever his opponent is has only had a couple of touches
Looks good the kid

Their goals from our errors and stupid frees. Carlton working harder than they have in 6 weeks (besides Garlett the softest player going round). Good intensity. Better game by Gibbs.


And ......dare i say it on this site.............good coaching by Ratten with what he has available tonight!!!

McLean has been awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On Paine.

Paine kicked one as McInnes has pushed up to create a contest I think with Paine running to the square unmarked.

Kreuzer is playing well as number 1 ruck, lots of taps to advantage, thumping the ball fowards, second efforts, tackles, marks.

Why cant we play like this every week?
Hampson has hurt his PCL, same as last year.

McInnes has turned it over a few times from kicking, but otherwise doing OK.

Don't like the backward kicking/stuffing around from kickouts either - too dangerous.

You know the media will rave about Thomas and Swan even though they have just been racking up the cheap ones!

How many times can filth players be caught with the ball and get away with it? So annoying!!

At least reward the tackler when someone doesn't dispose of it properly ffs!

Good quarter for the most part, apart from 5min in the middle and 5min at the end. Junk time goals are such a problem at this club it's not funny....

Great work by the boys all round, but so frustrating as to why they can't put up the same effort every week

No real marking options up forward, forwards have to lead up, we can't have Collingwood taking easy marks and then rebounding. If no one free going forward, kick long to space over the back, we've got the pace.
