Elite

The song they play when Smith gets a goal

How many goals did [PLAYERCARD]Harry McKay[/PLAYERCARD] kick and how much influence did he have this arvo?

Ok hand up, the selections this week I complained about.

BUT

Smith was good
Berry should stay in and be our Crouch replacement, has speed, is strong and is now cleaner. 30% TOG for 3 clearances, 2nd highest
Butts wasn't a complaint but should of been in ages ago.
Taylor and Curtin both very good
Worrell, Keane and Max very good down back. Smith, Milera and Laird all strong.
Peatling and Rachelle in middle, more please. Add in Soligo, Rankine and Berry its a good mix
RoB played well against DeKoning

Bad

Nankervis looked down, might be at risk with potential for Draper
RoB keeping McAndrew out for another week
Smith and Milera will limit the Edwards debut
Tex looked laboured, might need to give him a rest. With Dawson up forward that becomes less of a problem

Smith was neither here nor there.

Didn’t do anything wrong. Solid start and got a few late touches and a goal. Nothing special

Perfect opportunity to play a debutant missed.

Our backline was immense...

 

[Samcro24]

How many goals did Harry McKay kick and how much influence did he have this arvo?

None and none

How many goals did Harry McKay kick and how much influence did he have this arvo?

Only time he got the ball within scoring distance he didn't look like he had any interest in actually trying to kick a goal since he was too far out to kick around his body.

 

[Mutineer]

Good
Worrell
Milera
Laird
Max
Dawson

Bad
Carlton
Nicks subbing out nankervis instead of Tex

Ugly

This is possibly unfair but Tex struggled and looked like bending was an issue. If we want to get him to 300 we need to be more clever

Can't agree with the Nankervis bit, he was awful today, 8 disposals 1 kick 7 handballs, most of the handballs were him selling himself into trouble with poor decision making hanging on to the ball too long, looked like a rabbit in the spotlight for most of the time he was on the ground, 42 metres gained.

He is not a good coach. It has been pretty clear that the best way to beat us is to play that high pressure game and pressure the ball carrier. We don't have an answer when that happens. So Voss decides to give us time and space to play quick attacking footy which plays right into our strengths.

I loved the first half from Curtin, Taylor and Rash, they tired out in the 2nd half but all 3 looked really good in the first half.

he was a poor coach at Brisbane. Only got the job because he was Voss. But must have been the best candidate Carlton interviewed.

 

[CrowBloke]

60 point win and that's all we care about? Can't a win just be enjoyed for what it is? I don't get it.

I can help.
It's called 'ironic humour' (see below ).

I (stupidly?) predicted a 16-point loss and I've never been happier to be wrong by over 12 goals.
But yes, sack Nicks.

P.S. I looooved today's win!!

Rubbish. Smith was good.

 

[Geoffa32]

Dan Curtin probably un noticed by many, but his work in the two roles of stoppage mid and defensive sweeper were pretty good.

Worrell close to BOG

Rachele in the middle....

 

[MRB37]

+10 on the centre clearances is huge too. Berry with 3 in his short time on was 2nd best for the game, but Dawson, Peatling and Rachele contributing nicely too.

 

[Scorpus]

Rubbish. Smith was good.

In the first quarter. Then he went missing for two quarters and bobbed up in junk time.

Granted he tried harder than I thought he would

 

[Geoffa32]

Zac Taylor's game was pretty tidy.

 

[MRB37]

he was a poor coach at Brisbane. Only got the job because he was Voss. But must have been the best candidate Carlton interviewed.

Carlton rolled the dice that since he was untried at Brisbane his long stint as an assistant put him back on the right path and he'd of grown from where he was at Brisbane. Doesn't look like it's the case.

 

[BRL121]

+10 on the centre clearances is huge too. Berry with 3 in his short time on was 2nd best for the game, but Dawson, Peatling and Rachele contributing nicely too.

I've always though that Walsh was well overrated, with little impact even if he gets possessions.

I liked his very low mistake rate.

 

[Geoffa32]

At the game I thought Rachele had more CBAs than the 5 the ststs sheet said.

He made a solid contribution each time in there.

 

[Samcro24]

Rubbish. Smith was good.

Not rubbish at all.

He was fine. Nothing special.

And nothing to suggest we shouldn’t be looking forward instead.

 

[Brenton Davy]

This thread would be double the posts by now if we’d lost…

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

the Woz could be AA this year

 

[Mutineer]

This thread would be double the posts by now if we’d lost…

Yeah, the Wabbit from the NT is always up and about after a loss, not so after a decent win...

 

[MRB37]

CBA's for us

ROB - 22
Dawson, Rankine - 17
Peatling - 16
Soligo - 11
Berry - 9
Rachele - 5
Thilthorpe - 3

 

[thebirdman 24]

Rubbish. Smith was good.

Yep, hard to say otherwise. He had some really good attacking 20 metre handballs, kicking was solid and kicked a junk time goal.

 

[CrowBloke]

It's half-time here on NSW TV, but I know the result. I'm VERY happy, especially since PA got annihilated.

Chalk and cheese.
Jekyll and Hyde.
Black and white (etc etc ... and add any other contradictions you want).

What the fknHell was that?
Where was this team hiding last week? Were they poisoned on the flight to Perth?
Freo got mauled a week after making us look like tri-coloured witches' hats
and
we just beat the mob that belted Geelong for their third win on the trot ...??
