Game Day Match Discussion - RD 7 vs. Essendon. Fri 25/04 @ 3:20pm (MCG) ANZAC Day

[Knoxy]

Thankful we seem to have moved past the close game heart attack finishes, and have started to learn how to put teams to the sword.

I like to think that Fly was just trolling the competition in those games.

 

[Piesinmyeyes]

No. Clearly he should have spent more time in the ruck.

No clearly has no traits AS a ruckman

 

[Tadpole]

Epic ANZAC Day win.

Only visited a few game day threads,
All doom and gloom at 1-2 time,
Well done PiEs

Gee the umpires miss some shockers

Sidey Anzac medal

 

[Pistol Night]

Too old, too slow, too good muthafarkers. Game clear on top. How ya like them apples Carlton?

 

[HFF]

Fingers crossed for McStay
We are just cursed for key position players

 

[Tadpole]

ANZAC Medal goes to Sidey, and don’t the assembled hoardes love it.

Them apples are very sour for the Blues. They may as well be lemons.

 

[danielnajdek]

Bet we don't get away with a ACL like the Dogs did with Darcy.

 

[jimmy35]

Billy will crush Wright. A comfortable win on Anzac Day, looking forward to it.
They don’t have enough to challenge us over the entire game, Pies by 40.

Missed by that much…

 

[IlovethePies]

Dan McStay did not seem either upset or badly disabled while watching the presentations. Only one bandage around his knee. Hopefully not serious.

Delete that. I just heard Bux say that no ice, and no pain are classic symptoms of an ACL.

 

[nickyds35]

Love Steeelw but Nick gets very underated by everyone, literally has to do superhuman things to get anywhere near bog.

I rekon he had score involvements in more than half of our shots. Plus the 32 disposals plus the 11 clearances. Annoying, because he’s unlikely to get the 3 or 2 on brownlow night now.

Your point went over my head.

There’s no evidence to show that playing ruck increases the chance of injury.

 

[mocamagic]

No he hasn't.

Overall he was despite a couple of errors
His third quarter was excellent

Admittedly it can happen anywhere, anytime.
Just don’t like the extra unnecessary exertion needed in the ruck contest against giants.
Besides, not a ruckmans a hole.

Your panicked angry post was specifically based on the assumption that he injured himself in the ruck.

Membrey is a better addition to the team than Cox ( and proved it again tonight) so that’s the combination we run with.

Did I mention Cox?
You are the one making the assumption.
Personally prefer Frampton in the ruck for 5 minutes rather than McStay if need be.
Anyway fingers xx for Dan.

 

[sadako1999]

On Fox Footy they showed the vision and were saying the Collingwood medico was thinking a medial…and Garry Lyon etc were saying…”well that’s a relief” so who knows really but better news than nothing I guess.

 

[JuniorB]

Apart from a very sloppy second quarter and the start of the third, it was a good performance in wet conditions.
Essendon hitting the front seemed to sting our boys into action.
I'm mystified as to why Long didn't spend more time at centre bounces.

 

[blackey]

We always seem to get Smoked on contested marks vs Essendon. ?
Anyone have stats ?

 

[Magland]

Rome has heard about McStay.

 

[Sea fog]

Well done Sidey who has 2 Anzac medals now and he and Nick both spoke well after the match.

The only stat i have at hand is they've only won 3 games since Zahafarkarse stole it. Thats 16 years ago
