Game Day Adelaide V Melbourne @ MCG: A Bugg's Life

[Glenno23]

Also, smith waaaay off the boil at the moment.

Is he getting tagged?

You'd say so. Easier for opposition with no Seedsman to contend with either

 

[Glenno23]

Got through the tough one.

Will beat Carlton by 100.

We should belt them. They couldn't pass 50 against the Pies. No way can they outscore us

Need to keep them below 60 and we need to score 130+ Please

 

[Runnin Blue]

Was excellent

Your definition of excellence differs to mine. Greatly.

 

[subaru]

Just glad that's over

Got the job done.

 

[Glenno23]

People do need to realise that SC points are the best way of fantasy of actually seeing the impact a player had on a game.....Much better than Fantasy and DT which rate pure numbers

Not that Mackay was that great today, nor was he has bad as some are making out. Most players had a few shocking disposals, so he was hardly alone

 

[DemonLord]

If you take out all the terrible mistakes we made that's a 10 goal win.

Melbourne huff and puff but they aren't much.

And if you take out Melbourne's terrible mistakes you would have a 5 goal loss. Mistakes on both sides evened out as far I saw so I think the margin is about right.

DL.

I just text a mate saying virtually the same thing. This week the lesson was learnt. We got the shitness out of our system. Will snap the Blues in two.

Loved j-hunt for the dees...would be a nice inclusion as d6 next year if we can snag him

Easily BOG between both sides I thought.

Mackay is garbage. I don't care about SC points.

There is so much hate and it seems like everyone is just watching him to find errors. He had some big one per centers and played his heart out today. I thought he was amongst out best today.

That's what we were saying about this match. We call out port fans for being overconfident and expecting to beat lower sides like Carlton. Let's not get ahead of ourselves.

 

[Grenville]

Thought Hartigan played a very important game today. Saved the day quite a few times.
He had the lowest DT and SC score in the whole game, but that doesn't tell the story at all.

Agreed - has become a very important part of our backline. Love his consistently leaving his man to help out.

 

[BACCS]

And Fox goes straight to the fat gorilla. Again...

They always do for the last game on a Sunday, the song gets showed during Bounce

 

[Red mist]

Yep and on the flip side, our second quarters have been terrible in the last few.

Great point here. An oppo supporter mentioned as much this week while still saying we are up there. We drop off in the second this yr yet have arrested poor starts. Used to be the third. There's always a point where we drop off. The second is the safest I guess.

 

[Damp Squarie]

Love pykeys expression there, it was like what was that s**t

I agree.
Was it a case of Melbourne's pressure or our poor skills at times?

DL.

Here's the thing about mistakes- when we make them it's frustrating because we're better than that, and when you make them it's because of (a) our awesome pressure and (b) you're crap

Good game from you guys, you've got some talent there and will climb again next year. Past Port at least.

Yep so long as we are in front at the end I suppose, my only concern is dropping off like that against a great side could be costly. Will find out against Geelong at SS how far we have come on this year IMO.

Last year, it was first quarters. We used to give teams a head start every week. At least we are building a lead first this year, then letting them get back to even. Safer than giving them a start and playing catchup.

Can't wait for that one but just gotta take it week by week.

 

[SydCrow]

I'll take the win.

Not all of us

Ripper write up.

........

Aah but I digress. Crows by mid 20's

 

[Kraven]

if we lose ......I WILL HUNT YOU DOWN ! ......i told you pre -game .....now get out of there pronto

Good to break the curse

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Good to break the curse

You sure you didn't leave at half time?

 

[Crowmeariver]

Piss poor effort by our defence! Problems are a lack of pace in backline, hartigan, cheney are our achilles heel along with mackay and midfield depth.. Would get hampton in as quick as possible and give doedee a run and substitute mackay for seedsman. In my eyes you are done mackay.Happy to not even mention that match ever again!
