Review AFL R8 vs Western Bulldogs @Metricon- Thursday 23 July 7:40pm

[OB11]

Holman needs to lift, dropping marks, fumbling and chasing tail

 

[Supersuns]

Ball use out of D50 is rubbish atm

 

[robo_1]

Ballard solid.. and some were saying to dump him for Thompson a few weeks ago

 

[Supersuns]

Powell's kicking wowee

 

[OB11]

Powell making a strong start

 

[nutstar]

I trust the selection committee. If it were up to me Powell would have been dropped, but his touches have been sublime.

 

[OB11]

Sexton missed tackle not good enough

 

[robo_1]

Swallow throwing everything on the line

 

[Supersuns]

Wasted quarter

 

[Supersuns]

******* Disgraceful end to the quarter. Should be 4 goals in front

 

[The Victorian]

despite our dominance that quarter, geez we should really be up here...

 

[kreglze]

Wasted the quarter.

These VFL Umpires are at it again

ballard off at the end of the quarter and I felt would have made the difference in that contest with bontempelli. Luckily only ended up a point.

 

[Jirik13]

Honestly, I expected WB to kill us today. They are lucky to be ahead at HT. Happy with a team effort after the first ever 5 days break. It looks like we can now compete against any team.

We completely and utterly dominated that quarter and kicked 1 goal. So disappointing

 

[Scotty_222]

Our forward 50 entries have been terrible,
Deep and to the pocket. Or high and deep where the defenders can spoil.

 

[Mini GF]

Any injuries to either team??

 

[Lord_Flashheart]

26 to 19 inside 50s in our favour. Need to take advantage of that.

 

[Jen2310]

Need to do better inside 50. Plenty of opportunities, but not paying off.

How about Powell's deliveries?

 

[Scotty_222]

How about Powell's deliveries?

Tasty..

Powell looks great coming off the back half. Defensively his positioning is a bit to be desired, but that's to be expected given he's played all of two games there.

It sucks reading that Lemmens ripped it up in the twos when I see Holman running around out there. He just looks like a shadow of his former self right now. Hasn't looked the same since someone cannoned into his ribs a few weeks ago.

In the wet its been a pretty tough game to umpire.

Which instances did you think were unfair?

Swallow was scragging the opposite ruckman 3 times he rucked in our forward 50, gave a free kick away on the 3rd. Thought we got lucky there. Thought Bont should have been penalised for deliberate when he was tackled and kicked it straight out. You win some, you lose some. From someone who can appreciate more than one side, I don't think it's been particularly egregious.

Last week he weared rib protector - probably still not right. Yeah, Lemmens crazy pressure would be handy.
