    Sounds like another goal given away by over possessing the ball in the defensive zone .
    Keep it simple and kick it long

          I've never known a team to so consistently over years and years to get so many @@@@ty frees

            They are getting on top in the clearances now. Worrying sign.

            We need to take all our scoring opportunities.

                      He's almost a barometer for us so it's so frustrating when he wastes it! Hopefully he kicks a couple in the 2nd half!

                        I think that was our first free for the quarter with 43 seconds to go.

                          Absolutely! Really needed that for momentum!

                            4 to us, 11 for them. Go figure!

                            Great last effort by Papley - redeemed himself.

                              Important goal to Mills.

                              Disappointing quarter - loss of Ladhams significant and then the bonus fairypuppies got in on the act to assist as well. Nearly died of heart failure with a free against the Dogs for holding the ball. Shame they didn't pay about the 20 others they could have in the quarter hahaha.

                              Will need to dig deep to win this one I fancy as they have a big advantage in the ruck now, and I'm sure the umpires will have 30 frees as their target for the evening as well

                              Wish Paps would find his kicking boots in front of goal. Been superb otherwise tonight.

                                English is starting to hurt us in the ruck but we stemmed the flow at the end with that last goal.
                                Plenty of things to like about the first quarter and while we took some big shots in that quarter it didn’t show on the scoreboard.
                                ABC commentators are mentioning our record of letting teams go on a goal scoring run against us will give the Fairypups some confidence for the second half. I tend to agree that this is something to be wary of but if we don’t allow that in the third quarter our final quarter record ( leaving aside last week ) should give us belief to go on with it.
