Review GBU vs Swans - Round 2, 2019

[Geoffa32]

If you want to see something laughable, Champion Data thinks Josh Jenkins was best on ground with David Mackay second



I mean Mackay was okay but Josh? Really? I'd have Sloane or Brad best on

B Crouch 9th???


Statistics have really ruined footy "knowledge".

It ain't baseball. Too difficult a game to quantify.

Thought Keath was good early.

I cringed everytime, yes everytime, Mackay touched it, but he had an awesome game.

Loving the dynamic we have with Brad in the team. He was immense the entire game. What he does in enable Sloane to have an awesome 1 st half and then drift out, while Mrouch was virtually non existent in the first half but had a stellar 2nd half.

Gibbs was precise.

Liked Murphy's pressure tonight.

Not sure why Tex can't bring that attack on the ball/contest every week. Was immense tonight, but frustrating the difference between his shite and grand.

Milera was pretty ****ing good. Looked for body contact early and is sublime under pressure. Gonna be honest. I'm due another guernsey and it has 30 written all over it (well at lest the back part).

Unfortunately Sauce is cooked. Hopefully his ankle tweak gives an easy option for the coaching group to give him a rest.

Unfortunately Eddie also looks cooked. If I see him go for one more hanger while his direct opponent mops up and sets up a forward thrust.......



Finally, would have loved Chayce to at least kicked one tonight. Such a night of almosts for the kid. He will be a player though. Just needs to lose the 'deer in headlights' moments.

Mackay was excellent. Just say it.

Don't agree. We set low standards for him. I would concede he was good but most of that was in his goals. He was barely sighted from the end of the first quarter to his final goal

 

[Rise_up_Stiffy]

McKay was great. Jenkins started poorly but finished strongly. Tex looked agile and strong. Sloane, Brouch amazing. Mrouch was pretty bad. Gibbs looked pretty classy. Chayce tried hard. A really solid performance by the boys. Onto next week.

Mackay was excellent. Just say it.

Dont get carried away.
Mackay was good.

Seriously, I know we need to acknowledge Mackay's game, it was good, but surely people aren't getting their hopes up? It's like you have Stockholm Syndrome.

 

[Southerntakeover]

UGLY: The Crows supporters last week with their " 20 years of metiocrity" " I've lost my faith in Don Pyke"

You know who you are, go support Port, that is your mentality. I mean, get upset for a day or two and then re set but a whole week of that shit...go **** off, you aren't being smarter than the coaches and the playing group, you're just being more dramatic than a 14 year old girl on facebook who has been ignored by a boy she likes. Really pathetic...

Except they're right, and you're a spud.

How are you going to get over people about being emotional when you get so giddy at a round 2 win that you forget that we aint won shit in ****ing ages?

What are the chances of him backing it up?

With Greenwood in the sheds, and knowledge of Mackay's consistency, who would you drop instead of Mackay to get him in?

 

[Tex200]

No comment on Mackay’s game? Isn’t Sauce finished?

You have some humble pie to eat mate.

Right - let’s all wet our pants about a 200 game player smashing a 17 possession 2 goal game.

Jesus

 

[Shaz2012]

So i assume everyone is happy to acknowledge that B Crouch is our most important and best mid?

Also P Seedsman is far more important than i ever gave him credit. Wonderful pick up by the club.

I thought Brad was fantastic. I thought he was our best early, but maybe faded. Or maybe others lifted and so it wasn’t so noticeable.

It was a frustrating game where some of our best players were at times our worst, but Brad was quality throughout. Good response by Gibbs to last week too.

 

[StonesThrow]

Brian Taylor: "So Rory, what's the tattoo?"

Ahh, it's of our son who we lost last year.

"Oh, uh, fantastic!"

WTF.

Such a ****ing dickhead. I don't know how it's possible to be in the media business and not know about that.

Sloane handled it like a champ.

 

[Damp Squarie]

DMac

Played well and cops more than Tex RodnyDangrfield

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

A solid win but we haven’t hit our top gear yet. If we are a genuine top 4 contender we’ll need to keep building from that performance.

 

[Moonwatcher]

choads

How did this become a thing?

 

[Jack is Back]

Hahaha. Jacobs was absolutely terrible. He is definitely cooked.

Mackay was acceptable, but he only played two good quarters. Was invisible in the 2nd and 3rd. I'd make the harsh call and drop him for Greenwood

I smell Brownlow votes for Bran Nue Mackae!

 

[Houston]

Going to go easy on all the forwards because the game plan is clearly awful. Hart is obviously useless but Pyke has to tick it all off for it to go on the whiteboards.

 

[jaytex]

Seeds' goal tonight after the siren confirmed at 70.4m

 

[pjcrows]

Mackay shouldn't be in our 22. He will probably spud it up for the next month. But he was excellent tonight. You're allowed to acknowledge it.

 

[ManInTheArena]

What are the chances of him backing it up?

With Greenwood in the sheds, and knowledge of Mackay's consistency, who would you drop instead of Mackay to get him in?

Zero chance of him backing it up, but he won't be dropped now for an extended period of time no matter how shit he plays.

 

[Scorpus]

I smell Brownlow votes for Bran Nue Mackae!

No way.

3 - Brad Crouch
2 - Rory Sloane
1 - A Swans player like Lance Franklin or Josh Kennedy

When he got thrown in the ruck he was surprisingly good around the ground. Sauce out, put Fog up forward, if Greenwood is back he takes backup ruck duties.

 

[Damp Squarie]

Good: 4 qtr effort, all team effort, got the 4 points
Bad: We are still handballing at close quarters to referred pressure.
Ugly: Taylor you are a far quit!!

That's the advantage of setting your own bar so low.

He was good tonight though.

How are you going to get over people about being emotional when you get so giddy at a round 2 win that you forget that we aint won shit in ******* ages?

Winning the premiership is hard, the club has put us in the position to win it every 5-6 years without bottoming out but we weren't good/lucky enough, would you rather support a club that luckily jag it one year and stay crap for the next 5 years without any chance of playing finals, i.e. the Bulldogs?

 

[StonesThrow]

Only saw the last 9 minutes. Why was m crouch quiet stats wise. That's extremely rare so there must have been something going on?
