Game Day vs St Kilda

Shouldve kicked at least another goal if wasn't for typical Bolton brain fart. Mac2 on makes sense to me. More pace and power.

What a terrible game of footy, the ground has a lot to do with it. Both teams kicking is very poor.

We have a big opportunity here. The danger is King, just need to stop the supply. If he gets it in the right spot Young will not stop him.

Nank killing Marshall and our mids on top in general.
Shocking second quarter by us. All the frustrating RFC trademarks; Bolton blowing an easy shot at goal from 30m dead in front instead deciding to pass and missed the target. Pickett butchering the ball inside 50m and kicking out on the full at least twice. Weird decisions to bring the ball inside to congestion and missing the target.

First 20 minutes was great but we've really tried to let the Saints back in after that. Lucky they were too *smile* to take advantage. That may not continue second half though.

There was a very valid reason why the swans recruiting team were devastated when we picked tom Brown with our pick just 1 pick before there's, we are now starting to see why
He is a very good footballer so glad we didn't draft van pooen with that pick 😉

If Shai had of missed that goal from the boundary people on here would have called him selfish :rolleyes: , yeah but go back and kick the goal Shai.

They look more lethal at the high ball with King. Lucky he can't kick straight. Lefau and Kosi don't look like taking a contested mark. Bolton looks more likely

I hated when people called him a wasted draft pick, dud etc, based off a few VFL games. Been very vocal/annoying with my support.
I think he's going to be special for us. But I want to see an extended run of games and make sure the graph is going upwards, not plateaued.
His contested football has improved immensely.
Great to see.
However most of us wanted JVR on a positional need. Not sure that many were calling him a bust but many were concerned on his contested stuff.
Anyway we’re all very happy to see the improvement. He looks comfortable at this level now.

Sub Kosi off. He's had his moment from a free kick otherwise he has looked like a fish out of water. The game looks foreign to him. His effort in the first quarter wehere he made 3 basic skill errors in 10 seconds was ridiculous.

Don't need him today and he's not doing anything anyway. Lefau, Bolton and Dusty can be targets. Get Kane on and give us some more midfield run.

terrible quarter of footy by both teams, not sure this pile of crap ground is helping tho
With no tall forwards of note Id suspect this ground is helping the Tigerrs somewhat to squeeze them up and hold them up.

Where are our small forwards? No one crumbing packs or tackling they’re easily rebounding
We have the worse 2 smalls in the competition.
If we had Stengle and Rioli senior up forward we would be 6 goals up.

With Lynch & Balta out, today highlights the problem we have up forward - just no talls capable of taking a contested mark or even giving us an aerial contest.

Not sure what we do, regardless of result today. Ryan offers nothing different to Kosi & Lefau.
