[jannissary]

lol toby

 

[Vindicater]

Just a few kicks over people's heads at the moment.

 

[bommer16]

Laverne fell on it!!

 

[bommer16]

Nice bloody qtr! Well done dons

 

[astrowizzle]

Laberde most like playing for another team coz he won't get penalized all the time

 

[Maddogm]

Quality quarter

 

[windyhill]

ADW, big unit, big tackle.

 

[ghostdog]

Best footy since Melbourne. Really enjoying the defensive intent. Sharp in the middle makes Parish look good.

 

[TheFrenchCut]

Would desperately love for Langford to be moved out of the forward half. We're too tall, he offers very little there at the minute, but he can at least can use the footy from the back half.

 

[Vindicater]

No red time goal...

Sharp being a monster.

Life is good.

 

[ghostdog]

Blacky on ****ing fire the boy !!!

He actually is this time.

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

Robey really got into the game and it helped a lot.

 

[JayJ20]

Is it controversial to say Blakiston as a defender is giving us more than McKay?

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

Perkins ok so far as well.

 

[ghostdog]

EAt SHIt LAV

Harsh. Laverde was a hard battler who never did us wrong.

 

[Keystone agony]

Dominating (greatest correlation stats to victory)

Kicks +28
i50 +16
Clearance =
CP +3
Score shots +5

Xscore +WAY UP+



They will fire a shot, but our boys should be hungry for victory


Best:
Durham
DSharp
Parish

Alot of good role plays: ADW, Perkins, Duursma, Robey types

 

[MiguelM]

May competes so well in the forward line. Just need a couple of speedy smalls at his feet.

 

[joey_jo_jo]

Is it controversial to say Blakiston as a defender is giving us more than McKay?

He makes some mistakes but hes far more aggressive in his positioning and attack on the ball than either mckay or reid.

 

[sameolds33]

Lots to like about the way the boys played that Q

 

[84859300]

Is it controversial to say Blakiston as a defender is giving us more than McKay?

He is our modern day Shaun McKernan. He will get calls against him, as he's tackling blokes a foot shorter than him... but he puts in such an effort with limited ability.

 

[ghostdog]

He makes some mistakes but hes far more aggressive in his positioning and attack on the ball than either mckay or reid.

Agree. Based on this half of football, I'd be happy for McKay to play VFL until he's playing with the same hunger for the contest.

 

[AcuteWhistle]

Maybe this was the extra motivation needed

 

[jannissary]

i like robey in the midfield. he's going to be a beast

 

[MiguelM]

A bit more polish inside 50/goalkicking would have us 5 goals ahead. Like the way we are taking it on through the middle.
