And a slow running one at that.
Both of his free kicks were well and truly deserved and if you think otherwise you can have my Specsavers prescription.
To be honest after watching Geelong vs Hawthorn on TV just 6 days ago, I was worried that Hawthorn would have those spells of momentum and we'd struggle to stop them.
But when we were 6 goals up and in complete control it seemed that wouldn't happen. Perhaps the lack of Mitchell and Breust in the forward line was as impacting as anyone would expect...
But then it came. And kept coming. And kept coming.
The 'save the game mode' I can only assume came out early in the last quarter? Bar a few missed chances it didn't seem like we wanted to kick a score, with the actual kill the game "stop" sign after their last goal.

We really need Krueger to come good
Shows how desperate we are for KPF

they just seemed to have no run after half time. I wonder if the hectic start to the season caught up with a few of them. its a long wait to find out.
He got 2 goals and got right under our skin. What more can you ask from him? He was a darn sight better than most of our decidedly ordinary squad tonight.

Well played guys and girls. Tale of two halves but you did enough damage in the first half.
Hopefully we have another cracker of a game in the back half of the year.

Cox, McCreery, Lipinski, Hill, Moore & McInnes all need a huge kick up the arse tonight.......all terrible! And Howe too, just for getting bullied by Hardwick (a small defender) who went on to kick 4 goals. FMD!

Hate the fact that we have to play them again later in the year.

It does, I didn’t enjoy watching the team celebrate that effort. I said to the kids watch Hawthorn bring this back to 10 points and it could go either way from there.
We have the four points but it feels a little dirty, did enough early but the last half was not fun.
Your team made us look a 2nd rate rabble. Well done!

Credit to you guys, you were outstanding in the second half.
We’ll take the win of course, but I really did think you were going to pinch it for a moment there.
What are you on about?! He was good.
We are 2-3. Not the end of the world here.
It is the end of the world. We were rubbish.

That second half was as bad as it gets. Happy to get the win but we aren’t going anywhere unless things change in a big way.

Desperate for a KPF not a mid pretending he’s a forward just to stay on the list.
We had a similar game in 2022 against the Hawks, up by 30 points and nearly choked it big time. Won like 9 more games in a row afterwards.

According to Fly, we’re the “fittest we’ve been in his time at the club”
Which means we’ve become lazy

Do you still think that’s going to happen? He won’t be on an AFL list soon.
Gee we’re missing the bookends of McStay and Murphy.
When Murph plays, Moore can zone off, intercept and rebound, safe in the knowledge that Murph is back there to clean up any mess. Without Murph, Moore has to play as a stay-at-home defender, which makes him much less potent.
And Gee Checkers needs some aerial help up forward. Neither Johnson nor McInnes look like being the answer. We need Krueger back in and if he’s no good, I’d try Steene, or Howe.
Lastly, Lipinski needs to be dropped. He has no impact. He was invisible for most of today and just doesn’t put his body on the line. He looks like a model and plays like one too. With Adams traded, we have lost some serious physicality in the middle. Let’s get Sullivan in and see what he has got because Lippa’s bruise-free footy is killing us.

We are really lacking a key position player in the forward line. Just no system going forward.
Cox was terrible in the ruck and around the ground. An actual liability.
