Who played on Tippa and Fantasia?

Tippa looked so lost I'm not sure he even knows who played on him.

Who played on Tippa and Fantasia?

At the ground it looked like a combination of Geary, Webster, McKenzie, depending on who else was on and who was deepest. Occasionally Battle and Wilkie stood them but not permanently.

Just wanted to share this from our game review. Hope you guys enjoy.


There was a moment that kind of made me sick in the third quarter, when Dyson Heppell took a handball from Mark Baguley and snapped a goal.

“A captain’s goal!” barked one of the commentators. Yeah, it was a nice snap – I’ll give you that.

Then in the fourth quarter, Heppell took a nice mark running with the flight of the ball inside forward 50. Again the commentators waxed lyrical about leadership and how the players should follow Heppell as he was setting the example. He went on to miss the goal badly, but that’s not the point.

The point I want to make is that during the third term, there was another instance where leadership was on display. You had the two captains in a one-on-one duel running inside the Bomber forward 50. Jarryn Geary v Dyson Heppell. The ball coming in was a true chaos ball, floating through the air to the advantage of nobody.
But Geary made that ball his.

With the game tightening up, and the pressure increasing, Geary took a great one-grab contested mark with the Essendon captain as his direct opponent. The unsung St Kilda captain beat the lauded Essendon captain hands down, but where were the gushing praises from Brad Johnson and Paul Roos? Where were the plaudits for the effort of Geary in demonstrating guts, timing and leadership? Where were the endorsements of his captaincy?

Jarryn Geary is the most unheralded captain in the AFL, to the point I reckon that the commentators didn’t even realise how big a moment that was. That was the St Kilda captain standing up when his time came. That was someone who leads by example doing what earns him the respect of his players.

That, my friends, was leadership.


Anyway, link to the entire game review is in my sig. Nice win, and 2-0... must feel nice after the negativity. Cheers

How did you hit them

Actually really well thanks. Was a fourball match and we won 4 and 2. Was on a high teeing off and the feeling stayed. Inspired!

Great that you said that. Geary gets some big stick in here, but I thought he was terrific today. Brave and selfless.

 

[Sir Skid]

Geary is the most blue collar captain in the AFL. Even our fans find it hard to get excited about him but he's 100% in to every contest. He gets slammed for being Richie Van den Berg low profile but if it works it works. It never seemed to hold the hawks back long term.

 

[gringo2011]

He was good last week too, he gets to every contest regardless of who's man it is. Can't fault his work rate and the players seem to love him.

- First he posts on the Essendon board during the week -


Then he comes to our board...






On the other end is an Essendon supporter post-match;


(Barry Hall as coach and recruiting players who would 'die' for the football club among other things )



It's all in a days work for BigFooty!

So, retro and jay are the same entity or just spawned in the same stagnant pond?

 

[Saintbloke]

Some of our mids just need to lower their eyes when running to the forward half, and look for clear options- still got the bombing mentality.

 

[triggering bro]

I still haven’t watched the full game but saw the last quarter. Looked like we were in total control dominating field position. A couple of late goals to the injectors made it look closer than it was.

Watched the highlights & gee that hit by Parker on McGrath was felt through my phone. The campaigner crumbled like a month old dog shit. Brilliant.

I saw Marshall hobbling around in the last. Do we know if he’s injured?

 

[CursingFijian]

No one talks about Sinclair much , but today he had 9 tackles and that goal he kicked settled things down.
All round good team performance.

He was very physical too. Starting to throw the shoulder in to tackles and jarred ball and man in a few. If he keeps improving in that regard he will play 300 games for us.

Only blemish was the missed set shot but otherwise he played a ripper.

Dave.

How pleased are you that you got Bruce's hanger?
Wow.

 

[austinnn]

What a glorious afternoon.

Jade Gresham B.O.G. Absolutely brilliant around clearance, first goal was special.

Did think of this board when Blake took that mark over three Dons, I'm sure the gif will come.

Matty Parker laying out Andy McGrath was pretty great too.

I think he's got a wall somewhere with photos of top 2 draft picks from the last few years taped to them, saw him roughing up Lukocious last week.

Yeah so you're a big draft star are ye? Cop this...

 

[boydie]

Watching recorded game now due to being at wedding yesty.

Only thing I can say now is we MUST EXTEND gresham this week, MUST. Give him $4mil over 5 years, prob a little overs, but just get it done.
Him extending is more important than getting a big name FA in my opinion.
Get it done Leathers, NOW!

 

[Keg on legs]

Speaking of gresh, it's taken a while but looks like some of the media have finally recognised just how good he is.

Lyon i think it was came out with the old "he could be anything ".

We know Garry, we know

Hence why we gotta strike while the iron is hot.
We got 2 from 2, sell him that we are building and lock him up.
If we don't I feel it could be a bigger mistake than many that we have made over last 5 years

 

[Pardon me]

Replay is on fox footy (504) in an hour, meanwhile round 1 v the suns is on 444 for those that have it

Is 4K worth the upgrade? The box will cost $150. Is the quality significantly better than HD in your opinion?

 

[Rors]

Surprisingly calm during the second half when the Bombers clawed back some momentum. In my view, they worked so hard just to get to the point where they were only 10 or so points behind, but I knew we’d hang on cos of the energy they’d used just to get within those 10pts. We looked really solid throughout. Loved it

Bring on Freo. **** yeah!

 

[Sippa]

Couple of things I think we have to look at ...

It’s unfortunate that paddy has gone down because we really need a 3rd tall forward IMO .. think it’s no coincidence Hurley and Francis were the bombers 2 best players ... particularly when Bruce goes in the ruck membrey can’t be our only target ... both are performing really well in the circumstance though ..

Dunstable has done some good things in the opening rounds but I don’t think you can have a full time mid getting teens possessions ... I still worry about he and Ross in the same side and think we need to compliment one of them with some class ..

I’d be happy with Clark in but I’d also be happy with long back in or even young and release acres into the mid and Gresham a little more mid .

He had a strapped calf it looked like going into the match and seemed to flare up. Not looking great.

I would say not really, it depends on a few things as you'd expect but it's largely aspect driven, where 1080P you have a focus on say 25% of the image 4K will expand it 1000% times, so the resolution is massive in comparison. Given this you then have extra refreshes and focus on the actualk image being beamed, so as a video format, yes it's superior to 1080P HD.

But.

Most Aus services stream in 720P, so in the case where you're using it for general viewing, general video, general streaming, you will get no real benefit to upgrading as it'll have to scale the stream down to 720P with hardware limits to match signals or you'll get things like muddy colour saturations, refresh issues and frame skips as it attempts to "catch up".

IE I have a 4k Bravia, couple of 4k blu-rays, it's pretty, but there's no real benefit at present in general services.

Talking of poor quality, my internet seems to get worse all the time. I haven't got Broadband in my area yet but are they speed limiting so you want their shit service in a preemptive strike? I signed up for Kayo yesterday because my stream was down and half the time it was so pixelated it was worse than a stolen stream. A couple of times it froze and I had to go back and reload the page.

 

[VDS66]

Loving the new found physicality of the bots this year. It's something we have stepped up.

Would like to see Acres impose himself a bit more physically as well.

He has the size for it, Just needs a few angry pills IMO.
