I dunno about that. Not all their misses were right in front, a number from wide and outside - good defensive positioning?

And what about the couple they have kicked out of their arse :?:

So you want us to bomb the ball to Charman who's parked himself 10m in front of Fev and Cloke and conceed the ball?

No, I want us to wait for a target to present itself. There seemed no interest and too quick to go the option at HB.

Yeah tb3...definitely not a game I'm thinking we're lucky to be in front. I think midfield and forward line functioning well.

I think Waite is doing well enough on the toughest forward in the competition. Bower's dash is great to see again and young Army has done a few typically desperate things. Anderson done a few nice things too - love his work rate (no missed kicks). Some really nice ball movement passages through the midfield too - Walker / Simpson come to mind.

4 rushed behinds.

Wouldn't be in front.... good team support though.

You're too on the ball for me dane.

Good get.

Fisher's goal replays - no doubt to me that his kickin action is different, particularly for that third one. If its true that he is changing his action mid-season then i think we can give him some leeway for accuracy this year.

Great collective intensity by the blues .. and yes that includes Houlihan ..the secret labotomy seems to have worked so far, thanks Dick.

Now can it continue? Consistant hard fought effort is all I ask. :-D

Walks has been great and Murph stepped it up in the 2nd qtr.

GO ON WITH IT!!! :twisted:

Looks like Fisher is playing closer to goal

Looking good for the most part, just need to be careful with our handballs, especially coming out of defence, I reckon we could kick a hanball or two earlier. :lol:

Judd had a shocker in that quarter, lucky he is a champion and will bounce back.

Go Hoops and Clokey, both been the standouts for me tonight.

Along with jarred Waite...

He IS one of the tallest blokes on the ground in 10m of space so I'd say he'd have a fair chance of marking it. Surely you try to avoid kicking it to the loose men in front of Fev when you can.

Dwayne Russell calling for a royal commission into the Cloke shepherd and then just laughs at the hands in the back to Waite .. bizzarre individual!

Maybe not with 20 seconds to go, but once the clock ticked down to 10 seconds left, what does it matter?

May as well have a crack.

That is if we had someone who could take a pack mark down there. When there are 20 or so players I think even Cloke would struggle to get a leap in.

But with only 10 seconds to go, what could it hurt?

I don't think he hates Carlton nearly as much as some of you make out.

Then again, I don't listen to SEN; so....
