Game Day Match Discussion: Round 10 vs. Sydney, Fri 15/05 at 7:30pm (SCG)

[Eastern Magpie]

Why dont our rucks take front spot from a throw in, its doing my head in

 

[McSchultz]

Grundy tapping it across the boundary.. classic!

 

[TradeDraft]

Not sure how we’re supposed to win this with the umpires actively trying to get them back in it

Because they don’t want us winning tonight

 

[BillyElliott]

The game slowed down and had turned it to a high stoppage game which had brought Grundy into the game . He is just dominating stoppages and giving the swans first use of the ball or advancing the ball himself.

We need to find a way to avoid stoppages and make it the chaotic game it was in the first quarter.

It also started raining heavily too, didn't it?

 

[jmac70]

played forward a fir bit that quarter

Nick to take control in the second half.

 

[legendstatus]

Ok we need to hold on, umpires playing well

Someone needs to body Grundy and hurt him, the guy is a soft sook

Got to get Nick back in the game

 

[Soups]

Unpopular opinion I think, but I've liked Ed Allan's half!

10 touches 4 tackles. Much better game.

 

[Doc1763]

Buller is a horrendous back up ruckman. I saw that in his very first game. Even McStay makes more of a contest. Forward or out! And keep your hands off Grundy. Let him get the tap then you lay the tackles on whoever gets it!

should have played Smit, he might have just knocked Grundy right out

Likely worried that Grundy will just edge them underneath it and take it cleanly from the throw in

 

[gouki88]

The Kreuger strategy

 

[Rusty Beam]

West can not come out of this team again.

Personally it’s him and McStay for me once Cameron comes back.

 

[anshell]

Disappointing end to a very good quarter.They kicked the last two goals thanks to mistakes by our players.The Jaicos fumble that led to the Curnow goal,,and Sidebottom kicking the ball off the ground straight into the arms of a Swan player who goaled..

 

[cfc19902010]

Umpires have a history of really doing a number on us at ScG

22 prelim
2024 coat us finals

 

[GreekLunatic]

Are the Sydney crowd the biggest nuff nuff in the league

 

[BillyElliott]

Our pressure has been insane.

Keep it up boys & kick some damn goals

 

[Moore of the Same]

Need to try McStay in the ruck, he'll have better luck than Buller who is just giving away too much to his overrated adversary. Think we're playing well, would love to come out and score a couple early to put the pressure on.

 

[satty]

It also started raining heavily too, didn't it?

The rain slowed it right down. Made the game into a brawl every 5m.

We need to find a way to get the ball moving quickly.

I would hope we also consider switching to a more kick-mark style game. Anything to avoid stoppages.

 

[manicmagpie]

They are definitely right up there.

 

[BillyElliott]

The kids are doing well - unlucky the lead us not doubled.

I think they left Buller in the ruck for too long.

Other than that I am relatively happy.

Oscar couldn't get back on the ground.

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

So Ed Allan is playing his best game the first time he’s being played in the middle?!?!

 

[satty]

I agree with mcstay . Problem is we lose his marking ability in the fwd line.

It is a bit of robbing peter to pay Paul situation.

But it is clear buller cannot play in the ruck. Doesn't have the stamina.

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

Our inclusions

Ed Allan = 10 disposals, 4 tackles, 38 AF points
Wil Parker = 8 disposals, 3 marks, 25 AF points
Charlie West = 6 disposals, 1 goal, 2 marks, 23 AF points
Will Hayes = 4 disposals, 2 score involvements, 13 AF points

 

[anshell]

Free kicks 10 to 3 the Swans way that quarter.Interesting.

Well yeah that's what usually happens in a wet game

Play to the conditions & win. I don't care how we do it.

Steene playing more forward in this scenario?
