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

[jjsmitty8]

Really happy with that first half! Left some opportunities on the table, but have to be pleased.

We’ll see what we’re made of in the second half, fully expecting Sydney to come out with intent. Hopefully the scoring won’t dry up completely for us.

Need to try something against Brodie around the ground too, like maybe don’t give him front position every time? haha

 

[unplugged]

I feel like we won that second quarter even though we lost it!

Hopefully the weather sticks around. It's really impacting their ability to get their handball game going.

If it sticks around we'll find out if Cox is a good coach.

 

[TradeDraft]

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

Just shows he is a Midfielder and not a
Wingman

 

[TradeDraft]

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

Bloody Cheating Scumps

 

[Kurtles]

Who is our best second ruck option - Buller, McStay or use Ned Long?

You'd previously chuck Frampton in there, but he is now too valuable as our only true key defender

 

[McSchultz]

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

The Mccreery-Grundy fend off was a highlight for me. Floored him

 

[ksardog]

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

You have someone designated to pounce on him if so, ideally an Anderson or a Long to hurt when they tackle
Can’t continue what we are doing

 

[JLC]

Oscar couldn't get back on the ground.

That's unlucky I guess. Buller doesn't look big enough or good enough to be that second ruckman.

 

[satty]

We have to swing nick into the middle. No point sticking him in the forward line if the ball is not going to struggle to find its way there.

Grundy has taken over the ruck. We need to find a way to neutralize that as best we can.

 

[Go Woods]

No matter the result, it's clear we've found some players:
West, Hayes, Buller, Steene, Steele, Angry, Long, Parker & liking Ed Allan's game in the midfield.
Side note, Swaddling a lazy 39 possessions in the VFL today.
He just keeps racking them up.

Bloody Cheating Scumps

we did give a few away in the ruck to Grundy, we just dont have a big enough 2nd body when Steen is off

 

[Rusty Beam]

God I hate watching games on TV at the SCG.

The camera angles are ****ing horrendous

 

[Smackdos]

Defence has been brilliant as usual, 3 from 31 entries.
They'll come this quarter for sure expect a rampage

 

[gouki88]

It's risky either way - do that and he might just tap it to the open man and get a free clearance. I just think we'll have to try and work around the loss in that contest

 

[Rusty Beam]

Steene playing more forward in this scenario?

Absolutely. Plus the obvious rest on the bench for each.

 

[No SPIN]

We have to swing nick into the middle. No point sticking him in the forward line if the ball is not going to struggle to find its way there.

Grundy has taken over the ruck. We need to find a way to neutralize that as best we can.

I’d say Fly is saving Nick for more mid minutes in the 2nd half.

 

[legendstatus]

Need to open with the first 2 goals then make it a scrap

 

[ksardog]

God I hate watching games on TV at the SCG.

The camera angles are ****ing horrendous

It’s always been like that, camera is no where near high enough, does my head in as well

 

[domus]

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.

Mcstay can at least jump and use his athleticism. Jack has nothing to offer in that department.

I feel like we won that second quarter even though we lost it!

Hopefully the weather sticks around. It's really impacting their ability to get their handball game going.

If it sticks around we'll find out if Cox is a good coach.

The rain has brought Grundy into the game. If the rain continues, Sydney win on the back of Grundy's dominance.

Yeah but can someone tell will Hayes ot kick drop punts for goal and not those stupid round the corner kicks

 

[BillyElliott]

Wow channel 7 are quiet

They really didn't know what to say did they?

 

[thebaldfacts]

Playing well. Hope that Roan's miss won't come back to bite us . Would of put us over 6 goals up.

 

[parano1a]

We need someone to stop Grundy's dominance in the ruck.

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

Need to open with the first 2 goals then make it a scrap

Yeah the first goal is crucial

Need to bop them straight on the nose and put them on the back foot

Really want us to put the shit kicking in the second behind us and straighten back up
