Game : Blues vs North

MURPHY YOU SUPERSTAR!!!!!!

Fumbles, breaks a pack, goal.

Good to see Hartlett and Power both playing and picking up early possies.

 

[Mayesy_23]

We should be in front at half time... By a fair bit too.

 

[AndyWalkersGirl]

6 points behind maysey.

How good was that run from Waite?

WHY ARE WE BOMBING INTO THE FIFTY only to lose possession?? ARGH!?!?!?!?!?!

Because the coaching staff feels we don't have the skills to keep possition of the ball Adelaide style.

 

[Mayesy_23]

Yeah should be hitting more targets. But how quickly are we moving the ball AWG. It's lightning from defence. I wouldn't be surprised if that becam our strenth this year instead of our weakness.

We dont need to keep possession as such, we just need to stop doign stupid long bombs into the fifty, how about chipping it, running on and providing a target inside the 50? Lost count of how many times we've gone to fev.

Our forward line really really needs some work, and all of the boys need to have more confidence in themselves and in their teammates when it comes to kicking goals.

 

[Mayesy_23]

Very impressed with Cam Cloke's game. Seems to run his heart out. Eddie has been very good too.

 

[Superster]

yer i think you guys will win but this has to be one of the worst games skill wise, terible skills GO BLUES!!!!

Waiting around allows the opposition to flood more defenders back into our forward 50.

I'm not exactly ecstatic about it either, just playing devils advocate.

How were the umpires at the start of the third quarter? ****ing hopeless. I'm still trying to see how Stevens was holding the ball when the ball was tapped straight to him, and he was tackled straight away!

Thompson shouldn't have got his free kick the resulted in the supergoal. Last time I checked, a forearm in the back was okay...or is that only against Carlton? I'll go with the latter.

Hartlett, Gibbs, Murphy, Betts, Cloke, Fev, Simpson, Walker and Waite have been brilliant. Bentick has been great as well.

Horrid start to the quarter, good to see the boys get back into the game.

 

[AndyWalkersGirl]

Game over

Fevola you bloody superstar. 8 goals.


WHOOOO


Well done boys, to come back from 37 down, and win by more than 20, well done.


GO BLUES

 

[Tennant]

Wow great win by the blues in the end, I must admit I thought they were gone halfway through the 3rd. But a fantastic effort in the end, really ran over the top of the kangas.

 

[blues4flag]

Fantastic last quarter and a half by Fev - won us the game .

Best game I've seen Eddie player, was great tonight, as were Stevens and Waite.

And on another note, made sure to watch Walker very closely, only one turnover to him tonight.

 

[Kahuna]

What a comeback GO BLUES

 

[Mayesy_23]

What a win. Thought we were gone. Fev got a kick up the backside and turned it around, Eddie was great and Waitey continues to impress. GO BLUES!!!

 

[Melbdave81]

Fantastic effort by the boys tonight. How good did Cam Cloke, Adam Bentick, Eddie Betts and Adam Hartlett look.

Great comeback to come from 37 down and show some real spirit. Realise it is only the preseason but some really encouraging signs there for the real stuff.

 

[mark73]

Great win tonight. I had my doubts there for a while but you pulled it off. Carlton looked very tasty tonight. I guess this means we have some definite competition in round 8. A very sexy win. Like I stated earlier in the week we've got some refining to do but nonetheless, hats off.

 

[Corrosion]

Very encouraging signs.

If we play like we did in the last 1/4 and a half, we'll be a good side....could cause a few upsets.

Go Blues!

 

[ClayBlue87]

Excellent win!!! Take 'em where ever we can get them.

Good brand of footy we are playing now. Running straight through the middle, bombing it into the 50 isn't such a bad thing when you have so many good forwards + the inclusion of JK when he comes back.

Very impressed with coming back from 37 points to win. It shows great leadership, so that means our leadership group of 11 or 12 or whatever is doing their job. After we made up that margin I didnt care if we won or lost.

Good flexibility down back. We went tall and fast on Thommo and Brown and killed them. They went small and we could still match up and send Waite up forward.

Bring on the Grand Final!!!

 

[blues4flag]

Hartlett was also very good tonight. He's got a thumping kick.

 

[Staaar_Blue]

GO U BLUES!!
Excellent comeback from the boys. A great fighting spirit to take into next week and the season proper. Very impressed with Cam Cloke and Eddie Betts. Seemed that when Cam was in the ruck he had more of a connection with his midfield and allowed some great clearances. Has been able to read the play well to and stack up on some possies. Eddie.....well he is just an inspiration to watch. Gutsy effort from the boys. I hope Harts can keep a spot in the team next week and get some more game time. Although it's still the pre-season there are some things to like this year for sure!!

 

[CattyBossDog]

Who wants to start taping games and sending them to me?

This seriously sux! I'm so over the odd game they show being on way after midnight, and the AFL having a ****ed up website.

 

[drusswaylander]

Great comeback after losing the plot for a bit

Mental note...it is only the NAB cup...It is only the NAB cup, but damn that was great to watch

Go Blues
