As I said if you keep getting the pill eventually you'll start kicking straight...fantastic defensive pressure on the ball carrier.

Stattoes - Is that our best 1/4 for the season?

Makes a nice change listening to the opponents stuffing up and Essendon playing well

points wise no we got more against carlton in the first qtr but in general it was right up there with our best

Nice bit of work on ground level by Fletch there.

Fairly happy with how we're travelling in this last term thus far.

Great play there... Houli goals.... good attack by McPhee after the bad bounce for Brisbane. We capitalised. Something we usually fail to do and other teams do to us.... our turn today.

Hirdy - not waiting for set anythings today, play on play on play on at all costs. Flying the flag for Sheeds' last break address last week.

Great kick from Dyson. He's been good today. hits Lloyd running back to the Square.

Well this is rather satisfying to watch atm.

Whose showing up whose weakspots now, Matthews?

Final Qtr
Ess 15.16.106
Bris 5.12.42

Geez... Lions are a dead set rabble. No goals since time on in the 2nd quarter. I just don't get it.

So happy for Sheik Bachar Houli. It's such a great story.

Paperback Ryyyyder!! LOL @ Rex Hunt!

Well I asked them to prove me wrong... so far so good

Post by **Megan** » Sat May 19, 2007 4:23 pm

two things I want the next 15 min to bring me - us not giving up in junktime and letting them take a few gimmies, and please god no injuries.

Something I'm seeing today is a lack of umpiring of the new and improved! hands in the back rule. They seem to be letting the game go, which is nice, I don't think it's gone any teams way more than the other.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lions got a goal.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Boyler_Room · Post by **Boyler_Room** » Sat May 19, 2007 4:26 pm

Well I'm disappointed already. We juist let them kick a goal.

We're still just blazing away a fair bit but the Lions are so bad it doesn't matter.

Margin back to 59 points with that Selwood goal.

Houli kicks a behind to make it 15.18.108 ... and put us up by 60

Boyler_Room · Post by **Boyler_Room** » Sat May 19, 2007 4:28 pm

Yet another poor kickin and fall down from halfback by Brisbane and Stanton steadies himself and slots it from about 35 directly in front.
