GAME DAY Rd 13 - against the Pepper Power at the home of the G

Hard game to watch but at the ground it was easier to see how soft and damp it was, probably contributed to the ball handling.
It was actually a gutsy win. We were completely smashed around the contested ball and clearances, especially in the 2nd quarter. I haven’t seen the stats but it looked to me that we turned that around after halftime.
We really missed Lynch the last 2 matches, can’t take a mark in the forward 50.
The other thing we turned around was the amount of easy ball they were getting especially in that 2nd quarter.
Dimma clearly focussed the team on pressure and contested possession after halftime. Credit for that but I wish he would make moves quicker sometimes

But lets be honest with ourselves in relation to Shai, it is what it is and when it comes to players who bring a uniqueness to any game and he's skills and flashiness to me fakll into that category. Some weeks he will have you tearing your hair out and jaw on the floor for all the bad reasons, the next minute you are on your feet, fist clenched lauding a piece of magic only a few are capable.

Still a gamewinner when on, so gets plenty of credits in my book, just have to take the good with the bad. :rolleyes:
Undoubtedly he can be (and often is) a match winner but for me he needs to cut out some of the flashy stuff and use teammates when the game is on the line. When he becomes a consummate team player when needed he will be the absolute star.

How is Ports throwing? Fair dinkum, even when they are have plenty of space and time they do limp wristed open hand flick passes. Farce.

I'm telling you. The longer the AFL has its head in the sand the crowds we continue to decrease.
*Rules. 50%
*Ticketing 20%
*Times and day of games. 20%
*how good your team is travelling 10%.

Fox said because it's cold.
I remember when were *smile* and we were playing Geelong at the G, I couldn't feel my hands, I think it was Cotchins 1st game, over 45k turned up.
The game against WC when it pissed down after half time more then 50k.
Exactly.
 
Caesar can tell us what he sees at training.
Is it like that?

Play as you train!
Oh please, if anyone knows, I would love to hear what they do in that regard................. especially kicking while on the run, to position. We seem to absolutely butcher the ball when under zero pressure too, even Dusty tonight had some "floaters" that would have been unacceptable at Ouyen Magoo's. Shorty also tends to sometimes panic under perceived pressure and the ball does the ol' daisy-cutter straight to the opposition and both these blokes are absolutely beautiful kicks of the ball when "on" !

I was at that game also. The coldest game that I have ever been to. Colder than any trip to the snow I’ve been to

Dont they use multiple angles and snicko in the ARC

For richmond?
Noticed that, though the deviation may have been from Gibcus’s hand on rear side of post but no alternate view other than the *smile* angle they showed.
 
You don't know what he was looking at though, he might have gone behind the goals and seen it clearly hit the post.
Doesnt logic dictate,

That if theres a straightforward, decisive, unambiguous peice of evidence available,

You dont show the equivocal, confusing, inconclusive
Peice?

What am i missing here?

21k - lowest in a long time

A big f u to Gilligan and his band of *smile* sycophants. Fix the game or F off
The funny thing is Gilligan told the Tassie premier No new Stadium No AFL licence.
The Tassie Premier should get his states planning and development team to design a 11k stadium

I went tonight, only 2nd game for the year ( 2-0 btw)

It wasn’t that cold to be honest. Been to plenty of games when it’s been colder
