Turned on the TV this morning and was delighted to see the PF was on, picked up the action at the 5min of the last qtr and parked my arse on the couch... I hope we have that type of performance in us, but concerned about our clearance issues & lapses in defensive pressure which need to be at there best agaisnt a very talented team.

Heading up this afternoon with my ski gear packed.. Looking forward to a cracking contest.

Clearences and contested possession are going to be so important tonight. And I'm worried we don't have a versatile Hamling type in defence that can move straight from Cameron to Greene and be as nullifying/effective on both. He seems a big loss in these really important games.

How do we set up our backs tonight? Fletch on Patton, Cordy on Cameron and Wood on Greene? What do we do about Lobbe and does Adams start forward?

Morris even moreso. All things considered, our defence has stood up really well so far this year - especially given Boyd, Wood and Biggs form has also dropped off.

However, we are 3rd for most disposals, to 10th, equal first (with GWS) for disposal eff. and GWS are 10th for clangers compared to us 18th.

We need to deny them the ball, and use it efficiently.

Good point. I'd forgotten that Moz was out. Just so used to him being down back doing incredible things.

We're going to have to turn those stats around (yes including tackles all you smarty pants's. It indicates we are second to the ball too often) or we will have our pants pulled down so far they will be buried under the ground. Then we will have to dig them up, probably with no pants on.

Best we turn those stats around.

So was Campbell always a likely omission? If so then Bevo would seem to be giving Tom Boyd a massive vote of confidence to rediscover his mojo against Mummy and Lobb.
Going to take a monster effort from Boydy to replicate his prelim efforts against those two big guys all night.

As much as it galls me to see the Fox Footy GWS love in going on pre game, on exposed form its fair enough.
They are after 5 rounds along with Adelaide the clear competition benchmarks so far. Whilst we have been very shaky against fairly ordinary opposition.
Hope we win as that will really get Fox and the footy world very focused again on our team's credentials.

Fantastic effort so far. We've brought the fierce pack mentality to the game tonight. GWS have a lot of talent, but so far we are asking questions of their heart tonight. I love it.
They love a game on their terms and so far we've denied them that.
This has the makings of a wonderful contest.
I hope we can wrest the game from them this quarter andcsee how much heart GWS possess.

We have rediscovered our desire to compete unconditionally at every contest for every second of the game.
GWS will come back again, they will reorganise their setup and have another crack. We need to keep tough and break them down again from contest to contest and then we have to capitalise.
This looks similar to the prelim right now.

Toby Greene, you are a worthless thug.

That was superbly spotted by the umpire. The fact that he tried to deny it was hilarious.

Not just hilarious, indicative of the character of the twerp.

MRP have a case to answer and the whole pathetic bunch should be sent straight to the tribunal for matters of disrepute to our game.

Greene should not be playing this week. MRP endorse this behaviour and he goes another step closer to breaking a clean player's jaw.

How frustrating it must be to be an AFL umpire who clearly know what this sniper is about.

That's the most deliberate in the VFL/AFL history, including when it was ok. You know the fix is on when that doesn't get paid and Macrae has his head taken off and nothing again.

The umpire called Patton to move it on. That was a genuinely stupid thing for Easton to do. You can't move on the ball carrier until you hear the umpire call play on. It is AFL basics and not good enough to mess that up at such a crucial time.

It doesn't have to be applied. It's play on or it isn't, umps didn't call it so it's not play on. In such a close game those 50s are a big reason thr result didn't go our way.

They definitely missed the Macrae free but I thought Mumford was illegally spoiled in the marking contest just before this. The missed deliberate free was a shocker as well. Umps miss them sometimes - I'm not too fussed about tonight.

Tom Boyd's miss was incredibly poor - he almost missed the ball. It wasn't the only bad shot at goal but that was a diabolical kick.

I'd like to see our clean shots to forced shot ratio. Behinds are coming from scraping shots at goal by getting it deep inside 50 and scrapping to score. 3 weeks in a row with similar score lines.

Shame because he was pretty good in the ruck and around the ground tonight - the wider public will focus on that kick, but he'll have to wear that.

Our 'long bombs to Snake' delivery into forward 50 tonight was the poorest element of our performance tonight. If we can get the front 1/3rd firing on all cylinders - delivery into F50 and of course conversion - we are in this season up to our eyeballs again.

Our goalkicking problems seem endemic.
Last week we repeatedly missed easy gets.
This week, apart from Libba's miss we seemed to be missing more due to the scrabbly nature of our shots on goal or due to having lots of set shots from lower percentage positions.
Apart from Dickson ww just don't seem to have guys who are reliable kicks from difficult positions.
Patton, Greene and Cameron kicked the harder percentage shots when it was their turn. Whereas Stringer, Boyd, Dunkley, Jong & Smith missed, and often do.
