[mightytiges]

Samson backchat? Gives away 50 and a goal to Melb.

78 - 61

[mightytiges]

Lefau warming up on the boundary. Last chance to impress before the SSP decision tomorrow.

[mightytiges]

Melb getting on top this quarter. Our dumb mistakes not helping.

[mightytiges]

Wow this has deteriorated  . Preseason fatigue.

[mightytiges]

Melb feeding off our many mistakes and they hit the front.

78 - 80

[mightytiges]

This umpiring .

[mightytiges]

Speaking on frees Campbell gets taken high just before the siren. Set shot after is through  .

Back in front. Lead by 4 at 3/4 time.

[Willy]

Seth Campbell has been busy.

Not pretty that 3rd qtr  .

Is it me?

But have to say so far I've been disappointed in Ryan's game. Really needs to start hitting contests harder and make more of an effort to make contests. 2nd efforts are non existent too often

Others thoughts?

Not you WP. Samson has been ordinary. Naismith is clearly ahead on today's effort.

[mightytiges]

Lefau on. If he's playing in the first 4 quarters then you'd think he's a strong chance to be the SSP choice.

[Willy]

The Kiwi snags a goal!

[mightytiges]

Lefau on. If he's playing in the first 4 quarters then you'd think he's a strong chance to be the SSP choice.

And on cue he causes the turnover and goals  .

Rich  14.6-90
Melb  12.8-80

[WilliamPowell]

Totally confused by the umpiring

Whistle happy one minute,  in their pockets the next
