Game Day - Tiges V Freo

[Razorgang2]

No argument on that at all Razor, but he still makes errors he shouldn't be at this stage of his career, even when playing down Back. I'd be happy to trade him to GWS of Sam Taylor in a straight swap in a heartbeat.

Ok mate, but the coach is playing him out of possie, and the goat defender also had his moments, thats where he needs to play.

Tonight was one more example of why we need Daniel forward. Halfbackflankers are a dime a dozen.

 

[bpchia]

We can't win anymore. Forget the finals people. Wasting your energy.

I get the frustration but that was a hot contest tonight so we’re not done

 

[Redford]

Geez Longmuir is boring as bat *smile*.

 

[Smoking Aces]

Game changed completely once MJ game on. We looked quicker and made Freo panic.

Pity we didn’t go in with that line up from the start.

 

[Mycotchinrules]

We tackled superbly but they hate giving us holding the ball. Cotch, Dion and Shai held at stoppage constantly, Darcy almost always holding Nank or Soldo, not one holdinmg the man free all night. Dived on it free against Jack was fair enough, but Young did the same five metres from our goal with 30 seconds left, all good.

He's a gun, that Young, though. Third-year player with the poise of a veteran.

For those at the game, who was playing on Young? He absolutely carved us up

 

[22nd Man]

Balta = never ever ever play him in the forward line again - and I am not talking about the last play.
All he had to do was bring it to ground once for the quarter but out marked repeatedly.
Some blokes have no idea how to play in the forward line - Balta is exhibit A

Don't blame Cumberland - he was trying to win it - should trade Balta - will never be anything but a tease!

When Bolton was streaming forward through the centre balta turned his back on him....ball hit him.on the head

 

[Smoking Aces]

The frustrating thing is we are actually good enough to go deep in September. Problem is we might not make it.

Yep. Nank took one mark for the entire night being a forward option. One.

Daniel couldn't get a kick forward, that's why he went back. He was silky in the backline again, rarely wastes a ball. He ain't moving forward.

Of course we are smokes, but sh!t happens.

 

[Scoop]

And couldn’t make contests, was a metre off impacting everything. And looked super slow.

Concerning.

Agree 100%

Geelong in 1993 missed the finals when they could and maybe should have won it all. GAblet kicked 129 from 17 games or something ridiculous.

I know everyone's angry and upset but I think this could be a turning point game. We fought it out to the death. Some of our youth grew again. I think we'll beat Brisbane next week.

He's lame. That's why Soldo had to play. The question is, should Nank have.

 

[dimmauchump]

Another dissapointing game from Short tonight. Although i think he is another suffering like Balta being played out of poisition. Won a B&F as a HBF. Should be in Hugo's spot atm. Is lost trying to play as a mid.

I’m concerned about Nank he can’t jump anymore

That will all depend on what the MC smoke during the week. Go in with that fwd structure against the Lions and we will get spanked

Short memory...
