Our marking in the forward 50 and kicking at goal is costing. Midfield not firing today.

This is a good example as to why North and Essendon will not really matter this year.

I'm working and listening to the ABC's coverage. Geez they are sticking into Watson's kicking ability hard.

good news is the scoreboard...only 10 points down...3rd quarter lift awaits hopefully.

I'm more concerned with our skill efficiency...missing targets by hand and foot and look terrible over the footy. The only reason they are having plenty of kicks is because we're zoning off and they are chipping it around trying to hold onto the footy.

Hooker + NLM to get a run?

Anzac day could be really ugly again.

What uglier than this game?

Maybe Houlli, Jetta and Bellchambers could be put into the mix

absolutely getting raped by the umps sorry but that 3rd qtr was riddled with shit from them...

we are playing like shit, was expected sometime with this team... we need a 2nd game plan option to kick in when times are tough for running.

but the bottom line is we playing terrible footy, can't mark can't get away from North melb packs = tough but dissapointing loss coming up unless we can break free for a few goals and momentum swing to us

First ever penalty of the deliberate rushed behind rule ... goal for Lloyd. (somehow always expected that Fletch would be the first penalty). Bombers pressure on the Roos is starting to tell. within 10 points.
