Round 18 - live scores, discussion & confabbing.

[Jim05]

Dogs up at 1/2 Time.
Terrible first half by us, turnovers galore. Jake is about the only one that has held his own today. Some very worrying sides that quarter

[mal]

Half time
WB 8-6 [54]
ES 7-5 [47]

Anyones game at this stage

Spirited days posting
My 65 cents worth
In my opinion
Port crowd down [ Bad time slot a reason , and ML are not going to enthrall people to attend]
Umpires do make a diff to the winning chances of teams [Really did today PP v ML , in my opinion..WB V ES played on its merits so far]
Wingard's free kick and goal on the 3/4 time siren [definite free kick , got punched in the head going for a mark]

It did seem as though they got hotter on the HTB calls in the second half, and so they should have as they missed shotloads of them in the first half. Didn't think either team benefitted from the calls, but both suffered from it at times. Scrappy game, both teams struggled with footskills at times, Port just made a little more of their chances than the Dees. Not a game for the highlight reel, but a wins a win and it was an important one for Port. Whoever lost was never going to be able to blame the umps when they were responsible for so many mistakes themself.

An intelligent post, there's no need for that

We would have to buck our trend then.
We normally are better in the first half and fade in the second. If we can cut out our turnovers we are still a chance though

[cracka]

Wow. Just read pages 6 & 7 of this thread. People say crows fans are precious. Farcanal.

WB V ES
Have backed over 174.5 match points [Both sides combined]
So hoping for a goal scoring extravaganza
I predict 199 points kicked for the match

TIP
Dons by 24 points

3/4 TIME
WB 12-8 [80]
ES 10.7 [67]

80+67=147
Still need 28 points more for a collect
I dont think ES will win 24 points though

[Jim05]

We got better in the last 10 minutes but missed some absolute sitters. Looks like our crap Etihad record will continue

[RustyCage]

Hoping for an essendon win. Fletcher starting at FF

Jake is the only one capable of kicking a goal cant see us getting up here

[helicopterking]

Wingard head butted his arm?

No, just a free kick that against the Man that got to the ball first.

[Jim05]

Carlisle kicks number 7 but we still trail by 2 goals, 10 minutes in

[RustyCage]

Because the guy who got to the ball first hit the other guy in the head

He is a great player to watch

[Jim05]

Scores level 15 minutes in

[helicopterking]

Just because you jump back with the flight, doesn't give you right of way. If Watts had taken the mark, is it still a free, because the contact would have remained the same.?
