Sharp kick... intentional or fluke?

 

[PMBangers]

I simply hate defenders that have no interest in defending

Sharp kick... intentional or fluke?

Was Sharp the one who split the pack and kicked the banana to half forward, or the guy who marked it at half forward?

He intended to hit it off the outside of the boot, but it was a skill error in the amount it actually came off but worked out.

Was wondering where he was, Bamford is a woeful coach leaving your captain and best player sitting at full forward whilst opposition were winning the middle easily for that period.

I feel like he shanked it and it happened to fall perfectly into the path of Barker, but could be wrong.

Cumming reminds me so much of Jamie Elliot

With Wilson the closest defender he could've put it 40 meters away from Barker and I'd still back him to win it

Is Coulson tied anywhere?

Classic

 

[PMBangers]

SA just more willing to work defensively atm, Allies prospects as individuals still more impressive though. Coulson looking really good, liked his Talent League stuff but wasn't convinced on his kicking, a lot tidier at this high pressure level than I expected

 

[Smythe]

He was already my favorite to watch, but Patterson is so good, holding positions, gets to great areas, attacks hard, love his game.

 

[Thunderstruck]

Funny old game, I feel like Allies have been the better side for the most part, SA more silly mistakes but have capitalised when going forward more.

Schubert, Sharp, Marsh, Cook, Barker the best for SA though Dahlitz has 11 straight kicks

Allies: Annable, Coulson, Patterson, Murray, Miller some impressive efforts so far

 

[Lingsface]

Schubert is looking very promising with his type of possessions and attributes, look forward to seeing his progress.

Patterson does things very well and has enormous potential.

 

[PMBangers]

Annable and Umpire collision =(

 

[Thunderstruck]

Christ that kick inside allies 50 was so bad it even confused all SA defenders and ended up with a nice Murray goal

 

[Thunderstruck]

Really sad to see Bridge go off like that as well, he's a ripper lad. Hope not a long termer.

 

[tigs2010]

Taj Murray having a blinder

 

[PMBangers]

Is this the first good NT AFL Academy representative we've ever seen?

Better than any oif the Under 18 games I've seen from him this year

In Taj's defense, this game has highlighted more than any the lack of foot skills in SA

Which in a historical sense is not SA like - always more skilled and polished on the outside.

Sharp hasn’t done a lot for mine. Looks slow.

 

[Thunderstruck]

Much of the same in that term, strange old game. Same players in the bests though thought Cumming worked into it a bit better and NRT tried a bit as well.

Disappointed in BOB and Reichelt so far

Sharp hasn’t done a lot for mine. Looks slow.

Been solid without standing out, 15 touches but spent a swath of the second at full forward. He's sometimes a victim of his versaility as he can play a number of roles but I'd just be leaving him in the middle
