Game day thread round 8 vs melbourne

[Dogzbody]

We may well win this game by 100 points and not have a single mark by a Reid, Walsh or lrt. I don't know what that means really but I don't think it reassuring for when we play decent teams.

I would really like Sam Reid to really get into this game, agree no forward structure whatsoever so far!

[stellation]

So based on the game so far I'm assuming we're taking ever spot in the AA this year? Maybe Jamar can get a guernsey!

JETTS!

Up the yard tommy, show em

[Daphy]

I think that Tommy Walsh is getting better as the game goes on. I think he's definitely part of the solution.

[IrishSwanPerth]

Today is the day that players can play themselves into form, a good percentage also would be great, touch would no injuries.

Reid still simply a passenger in every way....MUST get a run in the reserves....getting ridiculous...

True - needs to get his confidence back. Moreover, Walsh and LRT have both been terrific.

It is so so so very important we go on with this. You only have to look at the ladder to realise at the end of the year the difference between finishing top 2 or as low as 5th n 6th will most likely come down to %

Heck if we go on with it n results go our way tonight n tomorrow we can jump to first on the ladder.

Should play him in the backline in the second half. Watts looks a different player in the backline. Maybe Reid is not a true forward right now.

[GongSwan]

Well Port beat Norf, so anything can happen, Tigers beat Essendon? I doubt it

[Nico]

Pyke may not have a lot of stats but he sure gives a contest. We should be smashing this mob out of the centre but we're not.

Jack continues his good form.

[IrishSwanPerth]

Reid no mark yet, he has what it takes, but its all about confidence for the lad, up the yard tommy

[Melbournehammer]

It might seem churlish to say this when we are sixty points up but this game is leaving me more rather than less worried about our forward line, and the delivery into it. Our goals are almost entirely a result of stoppages in the forward line. Is it too much to try and hit a leading forward. Next week we are playing a decent team with a decent on ball crew. I want to see us actually hit a target occasionally this half.

The biggest thing I want to see is a four quarter effort. Can we actually keep up a decent effort for the whole game? I would be very surprised if the final margin is above sixty, to be honest.
