Who was our captain for the game?
To be fair, we were incredibly poor given the side we put out there. Messing up the most simple things is enough to anger any side's supporters.Funny reading the reactions by Brisbane supporters on their board.
Maybe you're just not that good and supporters are overrating how good you actually think you are?To be fair, we were incredibly poor given the side we put out there. Messing up the most simple things is enough to anger any side's supporters.
Too early to say anything like that. Can't speak for the others, but I expect an inconsistent season for us, so performances like today's will happen from time to time. Just sucks when it does happen because you know they're capable of so much more. I know it's only NAB Challenge, but that's no excuse for a good player like Dayne Zorko to miss from 2 metres out. Nor is it an excuse for a professional footballer like Daniel Merrett to have 7 clangers.Maybe you're just not that good and supporters are overrating how good you actually think you are?
Either way it's NAB Challenge why would anyone give a crap about it or read into it.
Also you played the saints who since about 2009 have had plenty of close games and both teams have struggled to put each other away. Except for a couple of blowouts in that time.
Up on the saints site now.Is there a replay online somewhere?
My notes:
There must have been some humidity at the ground because the ball looked very slippery in patches. What other makeup can I put on the pig that was our disposal efficiency....nope that's it. Really struggled in that first half to get the ball out of defence. A lot of errant handballing or handballing to disadvantage. Missed Websters kickouts. I also notice that neither ruckman presents a strong marking option for the long ball to the wing, that we used to get from McEvoy. Tackling was good I thought. The ruck is a weakness. While there were moments when it looked good, on the whole our midfielders are going to start developing a defensive mindset at ball ups. Forward structure was hard to understand. Saad, Lonie and TC all in the same team is one too many in my opinion. On todays game I think Lonie is going to be a 300 game player for us...which would represent the best weight to game ratio in last years draft! His kicking looks elite and could be a real weapon on the flank. If I was on match committee, TC would probably be the one who should be most nervous about holding a spot. Lee is a non-entity in the ruck. Any energy he puts into those contests is just a waste. We should keep him forward of centre and let him use his extra run to attack. I can see how Bruce contributes 'structurally' to the forward line. But he plays like a backman in a forward line. I know, I know...he used to be a forward, TAC AA...yada yada...but he needs to switch his mindset and become a key position target. At the moment every time he marks he looks like he wants to pass off. Go back and take the set shot for goodness sake. Even if he is kicking four to five points a game he will really start to put pressure on how defenses setup. I think Weller was playing on Rockliff and did a reasonable job. Roberton needs to wrap his head around the new blocking rule, but played well generally. Newnes went past Armitage and Steven today IMO...hopefully both of those two bounce back from there. Geary was Saints best on ground for mind, just edging Newnes out, really good to have him back in the team. Templeton is a class act, makes really good decisions and backs his skills in, but his output is still lower than optimal. If we get the ball into Templeton's hands running forward 6 more times today we win the game. That simple. Acres was solid today so was Savage. Best of all, when the game was there to be won the boys showed fighting spirit and dominated. Some really positive signs.
Pretty ordinary, but better than nothing. It was provided by the AFL but streamed through the club websites.Hey Guys - what was the stream quality like last night? Was that provided by your club or the AFL?
Thanks.

It looked fine on my tv but it's smaller than that, I'd still give it a go though.Thank you! How do you think it would look on a 65" ? Or better stick to laptop..
Besides from being able to hear some bloke in the back ground yelling at some kids all the time.Hey Guys - what was the stream quality like last night? Was that provided by your club or the AFL?
