Review Dees v Swans in the Bobby Skilton / Gerard Healy Cup: the good, the bad and the fugly

[Proper Gander]

Looks like we're getting a team photo after every win, haha

When I looked at that for a moment I thought we had amputated AJs leg

 

[Bluelegs]

I'll see what I can rustle up, meanwhile I'm such a good bloke I'm willing to accept wedding presents from you all in the form of money transfers

We will pool our funds together and get you something special!

We are really building. Our contest work was great yesterday and our ability to play the game in our front half was a really good sign also.
Kozzy is a genuine superstar. Great to see the mids really stand up.
Also thought Salem was really good. I’ve been a knicker of his this year but he was really good and impacted the game with his touches.

Now now, Scythe. No you can’t. I know because I was disappointed to discover that the really grand modding statements are put in the hands of admin.

Surely that is ChatGPT writing this? No human talks that way... Do they?

Ok then. Prove it.

HARVEY LANGFORD IS SLOW AND NOT VERY GOOD AND NOBODY LIKES HIM AND HE CAN’T HANDBALL ON HIS LEFT

Well that's just not very nice

 

[mrmonkey]

Sparrow had a game that filled the void left by ANB. Worked hard, put some good pressure and kicked a few goals. Doesn't need to do much more than that.

I'll send TimTams if you pay shipping.

I think a slab of VB is more TKs style

 

[Fork n Hell]

I was busy getting engaged last night mate but cheers for the shout out

big congratulations shout out to you and the missus TK, all the best.

 

[schmuttt]

AJ is very unskilled but his defensive work and couple goal assists is why he is in the team over JVR and Jeffo. Those two don't impact the game outside their 1-2 goals a week.

I’m thinking Melbourne bitter would be the preferred choice. But what would I know. Never drink beer.

Beers after the win? Makes me miss playing

Most likeable thing the club has done since 2021.

Well done cobber for getting hitched

 

[Crusty Demon]

Good

- Appears we are officially back. Beaten both last years grand finalists and now 5 out of 6. Doesn't feel like it's a fantasy anymore. Attacking footy, front half pressure and a sound defence. Still think we will miss the 8 but hopefully we have a real crack at it and if we keep this form up there's no reason why we can't.

- Koz. Unbelievable. Can't remember a time at the footy for so long where i was so excited everytime a player went near the ball. Maybe Liam Jurrah

. Koz could have kicked 8 and had 24. Would have been all time. But hey, incredible game and he's inching closer to that all time game by the week. Can't let this guy go.

- Disco. Geez he looked solid down back. Looks to be cementing his spot. Reads the ball well, can take a contested mark, sound kick.

- Clarry. We've all given him a ride this year, but this was Clarry of old. Looked a different player out there to the first part of the season. The tackling especially was impressive.

- Lindsay/Langford/Windsor - loved what these 3 did. They all had moments, and several of them. Windsor made a few blue's but still found the footy and gave dash. Lindsay looks so composed. Reminds me a bit of Steel Sidebottom watching him live. And Langford. Holy s* this kid is good. Breaks tackles, finds space, fantastic leg on him and can take a contested mark. This kid has top 5 in the league potential.


- Quick shoutout to Sharp as well. Brought great energy as the sub and got the reward.

Bad

- Goalkicking. Game really should have been over by halftime.

- Spargo. Sheesh. Surely back to Casey for awhile now.

Ugly

- AJ. Holy s* he looked atrocious out there in that first half. He did do several little great things in the 2nd half that assisted goals. Has cult hero written all over him, but we're gonna have to take the ugly with the good with this bloke. Looks an old fashioned bash and crash forward/ruck, but he also looks incredibly clumsy a lot of the time as well. I think we persist with him while JVR is struggling.

Half a dozen of the MB big browns and I'm in dreamland.

MB far and away the best of the regular Australian beers.

I like your ales and so forth (I’m a bit over the craft movement though - big range of very high priced beer which are okay but often not particularly different from each other except for a funky label). But you don’t always want a heavy beer with bits swilling down the bottom. Melbourne Bitter is just right for really hot day with a BBQ and listening to the cricket.

Anyone notice Trac's goal was like a carbon copy of the first goal he kicked in the GF?

Salem little dinky pass that he picks up on the bounce, wheels around and boots it from 50.

Was nice.

 

[TheDarkDwarf]

Massive commitment. He's finally going to have to take the boxing bag out of the kitchen.

That is who he is engaged to!!

 

[Topkent]

That is who he is engaged to!!

You left this open to some dark jokes I'll laugh to my self about but won't post

 

[Dory_77]

Congrats Topkent

It was a much sloppier version but yeah
