That was exhausting to watch.

Would’ve taken a point before the game

Take the win. Get bodies back. Hopefully Cherra ain’t too bad

Gee, two things late in that game.

Firstly, we are still panicking with the footy and using it poorly, it's like we aren't able to stay composed and we are letting opposition back in mostly through poor ball use.

Secondly, what the feck were some of those free kicks to the Dees, and the non-free to us for virtually the same, and how the hell can those decision all of a sudden become so one sided!

I saw the behind the goals vision of Petracca throwing Hewett to the ground, and the central umpire was standing at our CHB position watching and did nothing! The Dees repeatedly take the footy and try to charge through the pack, it's play on or ball up, Cripps is the only player trying to actually pick the ball up in the middle and gets pinged!

Faark, I'm exhausted.!

We kept them scoreless in the first quarter. Had a 5 goal margin most of the game. Lead the entire game, but still managed to give us a heart attack.

Take the win and the long break

Good start, poor finish
These type of games have a cumulative effect and we've played three tough ones in a row, 'undermanned', so it's not surprising we faded at the end.
A couple of players are short a gallop after returning from injury
We may be in a bit of strife next game. (Sydney in Sydney)

Melbourne on the other hand are having very good last quarters this year. I reckon their fitness levels are pretty high at present. It will be interesting to see if they can maintain that level.

(If a certain biased commentator makes an appearance and asks to walk around our rooms at any stage this year I hope we show him the door. That was just about his worst performance.) >

I missed the entire game watching/listening but kept my eye on the score - couldn’t believe it when they kept pegging back our lead in the last quarter then saw 7 pts then 1 with over a minute to go!

Stressful!
