Highest half time score = 131pts

We must be a fair chance of breaking that if we keep going :D

The Herald Sun's live stats has a field to show who is "HOT" as far as SuperCoach goes. Apparently 6 Gold Coast players are now HOT haha.

An interesting but not so useful stat:

We have five players wearing numbers in the 40's....I wonder if that has ever happened before.

40 - Howlett
42 - Lovett-Murray
43 - Hibberd
44 - Bellchambers
45 - Crameri

Dont understand what is wrong with us.. We should be kicking on but now they are winning the quater. I hope at half time they regroup and make this a massive percentage boost.

Hmmmm....a Hirdy rocket is on the way I reckon.

he won't be happy at all with that quarter's effort. Not so much that we were outscored, but more that we gave up five goals which would not be close to whatever KPI we have for conceding scores per quarter.

herald Sun Super Scoreboard is still showing Ablett as being cold. :?

f*** me, he's had 16 possessions and the radio is saying that he was brilliant in that quarter.

Seems a rather harsh judgement.

That second quarter was the first time we have played "Knights" football all year. We decided to play at their level, and refused to work back hard enough. Only two guys putting in the whole game have been Lonergan and Howlett.

As good as the first quarter was, that second quarter wasn't good enough.

What a letdown that 2nd qtr was. Eased off on the pressure, and f***** up as a result. If we don't win by more than the scum did I'll spew Terry Wallace style.

As magnificent a quarter the first was , we were outscored in the second. We are also down on clearances for the game. Its hard to be so far in front and maintain that level I guess. They were a lot better.

I expect us to outscore them in both the next 2 quarters and win by 130 points odd.

Jobe injured ?

30+ possies and jumping over the pack in the last quarter so probably not injured.

Maybe he's just becoming a victim of our high expectations :)

Yes great game Jobe. I made the comment when the radio commentary mentioned he'd coped one in the ribs and went down into the rooms. I was a little concerned. However, he seemed extra fine in the second half.
