One would think I wanted Ratts executed.

Put it this way, if we lose no one will blame Ratts, I wouldn't either, its a massive ask. But if we manage to do it, any doubts about his ability to coach would surely be erased (not to mention an extra few hundred k on his new contract).

Just too big and too strong. Reminiscent of Round 14 I'm afraid. Why are we insisting on kicking to a contest? Didn't we learn this lesson last time?

Umpiring is crap but that tbird issue didn't deserve a second shot at goal.

Get our hands on the ball first, protect the ball carrier, capitalise on possession, kick straight and harass the life out of the opposition would be a good start.

what a stupid decision to play davies ahead of russell or anyone for that matter
cost us 2 goals already, while russell was superb for the bullants
will cost us the game

AJ didn't deserve another kick. Would have had he missed.Goal umpire had not signalled yet.

Chris Judd, where are you? All well and good to play blinders against the dees and tigers, what have you done tonight, or in the last month????

It's time to stand up Juddy, the team needs you!

Have to find a way to get Eddie Yazz and AW into the game or we're doomed - c'mon Ratts !

Thornton back, so he can run in straight lines, that hit has to hurt. Hendo forward, kick to Hendo so the amigos can get some crumbs. Walker onball Judd forward

Umpiring the crowd noise in that 1/4 but the players need to be smarter.

The reason the umpires look shocking is that they are over officiating and therefore not being consistent. The umpiring last week was A plus. They let it go unless it was obvious.

No-one suggested it should. But the very late hit on AJ well after he kicked for goal has been a free kick/second kick at goal for years now. That's what deserved the second shot on goal.

Yarran to the midfield now.

He's getting [REDACTED] over.

Can't hurt.

I think we all need to take a deep breath and remember...we are the 5th ranked team coming into the finals series.


So far team 1, 2 & 3 have made it into the prelims.


Now, I actually thought coming into this game we could win...and I'm still on that bandwagon.


It aint over (by the way, it's only 11 pts) until the fat lady sings....and I'm not ready to sing yet!

Yarran to wing or half forward, Judd to forward pocket, he will murder Selwood there!

Maybe Eddie in the guts for a few minutes to!!

We can do this, we have to get some soft frees in front if goal this half

Agree about Davies, but Russell was not that flash.

Setanta needs to give us more and stop giving away frees all th time.

taff, the umpiring has been woeful

channel 10 has just gone down on the coast!!!
