Analysis GBU vs Goldies

[Tadpole]

A sluggish start, but then we hit our straps and really got going.

 

[fourhorseman]

Brodie Smith BOG, improved ball movement Good

Injury to Milera, Elliot Himellburg Bad

Good to get some confidence in the boys

Hard to get a read on what this means because Gold Coast were awful

 

[CrowInFiji]

Lids off.

Premiers 2019.

 

[Shuestar13]

You’ll win. Most likely quite comfortably

Job done. Get your preparation and selection right and you’ll win next week

 

[Jack Richards]

What is going on with Gibbs? Horrible so far this year.

 

[pjcrows]

Thank you Eddie. That was beautiful!

First quarter was putrid, then the Suns dropped structure. We took over and it was a training drill in the 2nd and most of the 3rd. Slopped it up at times still. A lot of "stupid sh*t" but oh well Just good to see some open footy! Wallpapering over cracks but at least it was fun.

Lost centre clearances by more than double!

Himmelberg gave a lot of energy. He's quick and created Tex's space. Jenkins is stagnant or just gets in his way. Himmelberg MUST play the next month at a minimum, regardless of form. ROB really good.

I'd like to see Sholl come in for Milera.

Saw Tex and Lynch go over to Francou for a hug and a chat after the game. Obviously no bad blood there - thought it was interesting.

2W 3L. Win next week!

1 game from 2nd spot, not too shabby

Very young team who couldn't play the game plan that teams has used to beat us for the full 4 quarter.

 

[Golumless]

Was damn important to stop the slide, and we've done it. Especially with Carlton winning.

Winning by 70 odd is also good for the confidence which is also super important, especially with how mentally shot we looked last week.

 

[BACCS]

Eddie GOTY and 6 goals in game 300, nothing more to be said

 

[Scorpus]

Good: Most players but special mention to Murphy, Betts, CEY, Smith, Mackay, and O'Brien. Not the biggest names in that pack but they all played better than their form throughout the year so far. Keath excellent. Greenwood should have been in weeks ago

Bad: Milera's injury. Lynch was awful. Kelly, Laird and Knight had a lot of touches for no influence. Gibbs only just barely AFL standard right now. First quarter appalling. Destroyed in the center clearances

 

[GROTTO]

Crows scoring 119.

 

[Jcpdragonx]

- Greenwood can take contested marks unlike 85% of our list, very important mid and fwd.
- Games into Berg
- Smith taking contested marks and probably 800m gained.
- Persisting with Murphy. Has balls of steel and tries his gut out.
- Giving RoB a go, great job AFC!

Overall a step forward today regardless of opposition

 

[Scorpus]

One thing is for sure.

We did not miss Jenkins. In fact we looked better than ever without him there.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Our percentage of 108 is something we can work with and build upon.

hopefully shakes the rust after a poor start to the season.

i hope we are not content and still look at underperforming players.

good:
smith - back to his best.
eddie - goty? great game for him. his effort this year has been good without the reward.
matt, brad sloane all good. brad could have torn it apart if he was a bit cleaner.
keath - probably our best defender now.
murphy - like many i wanted him dropped and he probably deserved it but a great game for him.
himmilberg - great intent, aggression and enthusiasm. give him some more games and we will see him clunk all those marks.
greenwood - the boy is a winner, you have to play him always.
rob - showing good signs.
mackay - excellent but we have seen this before at home against a poor team. prove us wrong david go on with it!

bad
lynch was dreadful. had one good non statistical moment but really was awful.
knight - continues to have very little production. his two switches in a row were awful.
kelly - gets a lot of the ball which is unfortunate because he would be lucky to be in the positive for metres gained. also a very dumb footballer in close.
talia - showing some disturbing signs of slowing down. getting beaten most weeks.
hartigan - didn't notice as much but still manages a few howlers per game

 

[Simmo28]

110 points in 3 quarters, however we were playing against witches hats at times.

Eddie is a freak, when you think he is done and dusted (and many wrote him off in here) he pops up and shows you that he is still the most potent small forward in the game.

Loved Walker without JJ, hope he isn’t rushed back in.

Keath is looking solid, he is going to be a 200 game player.

The whole team structure looked much better tonight.

Posted this image in the game thread. Would be happy if this was a good representation of our season.

 

[hey shorty]

Glad Big Easy snagged one, he worked his backside off all game.

But Eddie...... it's your day

 

[jenny61_99]

Smithers Eddie and Ellis Yolmen top three tonight. Greenwood added something too. Tex strong! Murph was outstanding. DMac excellent. Disappointed with Lynch and Gibbs.

 

[Scorpus]

I think it's also quite telling Pyke coached a significant portion of the game from the bench after QT.

We clearly did not want to be playing the slow, sidewards, ugly football of the past few weeks and Pyke on the bench seemed to stop it. That's a good sign

 

[Sanders]

Good: Mackay

 

[Redline]

Can't take much but confidence from that. We were ordinary, Gold Coast were worse.

Chapman and Robran dragged the ending out made a good occasion seem awkward.
