Re: David "Premiership Player" Astbury

Terrible, terrible game.
That miss kick across ground killed any momentum we had.
Made me use the word *smile*.
 
Re: David "Premiership Player" Astbury

Poor game but has plenty of credits. Our backline as a whole had a nightmare night. No pressure in the midfield did them no favours

That kick killed all the momentum. I heard the commentator say it was something like 15 inside 50s to 1 from then on.

Though I would have hoped a premiership side wouldn’t collectively drop their bundle the way they did
 
Re: David "Premiership Player" Astbury

Disagree. Thought he was pretty good compared to many of his peers. We let Adelaide get the ball forward far too much without pressure tonight which made it a nightmare for backmen.
 
Re: David "Premiership Player" Astbury

meh, teams run away with games. it's round 2. but we were sloppy all night. no.midfield pressure, astburys kick, sheds dropped mark at half back, Jack dropped mark on the fwd flank in the first.... we were just rubbish tonight.

but of more importance. 26-14 free kick count. on the back of last week's umpiring debacle I hope dimma is not so reserves this time.
 
Re: David "Premiership Player" Astbury

One of the worst turnovers I’ve ever seen. Destroyed all of our momentum.

Not the reason we lost though. We played *smile*.

Dave will be back.

Not the sole reason we lost but that was a howler at an important time in the game.
 
Re: David "Premiership Player" Astbury

Astbury's *smile* kick was followed by B Ellis kick out on full for Sloane to goal. Then edwards dropped simple mark and they goal straight away, then the umps make that tripping call against Townsend and Adelaide skipped away
 
Re: David "Premiership Player" Astbury

Hate to say it but Dave's killed cost us dearly
 
Re: David "Premiership Player" Astbury

I thought he played an ok game but that shank was a momentum killer.

Yep was a shocking few mins. 3 complete howlers that cost us the game. They just capitalised on those 3 stupid stupid mistakes. We were right in it before that.
