have a few tinnies in the outer makes this quarter almost worthwhile

 

[TheMase]

extremely disappointing quarter

 

[Tedeski]

He does

Well that's Gould!

 

[Tedeski]

extremely disappointing quarter

It has. They have some very good senior players out there.

 

[Tedeski]

I don't think we will, but I'd love to see Sheldrick brought in as the medi-sub. They're more likely to go with someone relatively more experienced for finals.

Doesn't have a tank yet.
Can't do it to him or the team.
His turn will come.

 

[TheMase]

Cunningham

 

[Callipygian]

Gould has worked hard to apply pressure and save a goal a couple of times now.

 

[Neverwas]

Hitouts 48 to 22 in our favour. Clearances 40 to 25 in their favour. Sinclair doesn't know how to hitout to advantage.

 

[Tedeski]

Cunningham

Along with Melican, no contract.
May not get one other than a rookie contract.

We’ve been standing a couple of steps away from him.

 

[Tedeski]

At the very least smash it in the open. We won't do any worse. But that's our coaching that won't allow that.

 

[Bloods86]

Melican has a contract, we just covered that.

Cunningham gets re-signed easily

 

[caesar88]

Other than his tackling, which is great, I'm not sure what he's done to earn a promotion. Great goal and contested mark in the first, and I liked the quick dish-off to Warner Jr. from a stoppage in the 2nd. That's about the only damage he's done to the opposition. Roberts even less so.

 

[Dan87]

Awesome power Gus

 

[sr20]

Be interesting to see who the sub is based on this performance. Could only be Ronke

He applies pressure, great second and third efforts, kicks goals from the scramble. Potentially he could play that role that has been shared by Wick/Ronke/Clarke in this finals series.

Also he plays best in big games. Has been one of our best today.

I wouldn't hate it. I'm not blown away by his midfield work anyway. I think Ronke has been better in that role today though from the opportunities he's had.

 

[swanssince2002]

Just so much experience there when Casey transitioned it easily. Weiderman and McDonald in reserves geez

Not to mention Dunstan doing as he pleases out there. Not a big name but this is a guy whose had a few BOGs at AFL level before when he was playing with Steele, Ross etc at the Saints and he's still only 27.

 

[Callipygian]

Why are MFC aligned with Casey? Geographically not that proximate.

 

[TheMase]

Haha Ladhams smack!

 

[Bloods86]

I thought Ladhams might try to get himself a holiday when the game started going downhill

 

[RilesMacca]

Wowee Pete haha come on mate

 

[Wheresbuddy]

This game highlights how precarious our ruck stocks are. Sinclair retiring. McAndrew raw. Ladhams just not sure what to make of him. Hickey we all know is held together by tape. Maybe we need to look at Darcy.............

 

[Callipygian]

Very unimpressed with Ladhams today. Hasn't had much impact. Hasn't applied a lot of pressure. Poor discipline. His effort has fallen away late too. Not in Hickey's league, although his best is pretty good.
