Analysis GBU vs Goldies

[Murray2503]

Yep, Im all for flying the flag, but you've got to pick your moments, and that wasn't one of them. Harbrow couldn't have done much differently in the circumstances.

They should have flown the flag the week before when Jones was smashed in the back of the head by the campaigner Macdonald. Murphy needs to learn to not open himself up to unnecesary injuries. He was lucky Harbrow did the right thing. Next time he may not be so lucky.

I do think it's been a very insightful and interesting game especially for those players who are polarising.

Looking at some of the stats was very interesting:

Greenwood
Disposals: 18 @ 67% Accuracy.
Contested Possessions: 15
Score: 2.1
Pressure acts: 15
Tackles: 1 (0 inside 50)
TOG: 88 minute
Metres gained: 146m
Clearances:3

This stood out as a good all round game from Greenwood and a good first up effort. His ability to impact the scoreboard and many other areas in 88 minutes is pleasing. Nothing on its own stands out, but the combination of all those stats is impressive given tog.

This said workman like to me. Metres gained was good, but nothing else really outstanding, mostly uncontested. Played a role, was reliable when needed. Link man.

Smith

Pressure acts: 6
Tackles: 0
TOG: 105 minutes

This is the perfect free running half back game from smith which is apparent from the metres gained and low pressure acts. He was given free license here to just run and create and the fact he was accurate and able to hit the scoreboard made it a really good game from him.

Knight

Pressure acts: 15
Tackles: 4 (3 inside 50)
TOG: 95m (56% in defensive half)

I think the pressure acts were good considering he had 3 tackles inside 50 but considering he spent more time in the defensive half, didn’t impact the scoreboard and only gained 99m, to me it looks like he did a lot of pointless running. Not a great game imo.

Murphy

Clearly a good return for a small forward. The 16 pressure acts, 5 tackles were good with the 2 inside 50 shows good pressure. The metres gained showed that he roamed up and down much more effectively than Knight did. Needs to clean up his disposal but a much better game overall.

Betts

For someone to spend 92% of the time in the forward half (only 2 possessions were outside the forward 50) and get 11 contested possessions and gain 238m, to me says he’s a master at working in close. The score speaks for itself, but anyone suggesting he didn’t earn those goals is crazy.

Pretty good contested game rom Brouch. Good clearance numbers and pressure acts. We need at least 2 midfielders to be working at this level to give us any chance of winning games. Better than his bother, but probably not as clean due to being in the contest more. Should be very happy with this return though.

Underrated game I think. Has legitimate claims for 2nd best midfielder on the night. Excellent impact in close with team high 31 pressure acts and tackles. Considering the metres gained and clearances, he had without a doubt his best ever game for the AFC.

Quality post.

It's interesting the defenders took responsibility for our form by saying they've been playing to loose. Yet Smith and laird ran free, if you were to just look at thier stats.

Smith said after the game they tightened up this week.


And the older crouch best game for us. His creativity starting tp become a weapon.

Phuq I want to see this side in full flight.

For mine Knight and Lynch both need to lift. Both should be the most under pressure forwards to lose their spots if their form continues. Lynch seems to panic with his disposal and doesn't seem to realise he has more time than he realises. Doesn't seem switched on mentally.

 

[Crowbots are dead]

Liked the 2nd gamer Berg’s intent to just compete and chase and got his reward with the great pass from our 5th gamer. Would keep him in for at least 4 games. JJ did nothing to stake his case for a recall.

Totally agree. Roos commentary really annoyed me though as kept referring to jj and made it sound as though he would have thrived with that delivery. He talked down the berg. I really don’t like the way roo talks about our players. Far too matey. He’s a board member ffs

JJs contract weighing heavily on Ricciuto's mind maybe

 

[radiojake]

Speaking of Ricciuto - his *ing laugh while he commentates - I hate it

When Eddie kicked GOTY I like Brad Johnson going off, it was genuine. Then you hear Roo's 'Haw Haw... Haw Haw' coming through afterwards. He laughs like that all the bloody time - Hate it

 

[Simmo28]

Eddie, Smith, Keath, Murphy, Crouches were fantastic. Very strong effort from CEY. Nicely played, Mackay.

Brilliant to have Greenwood back - he should start in the centre square and then go forward.

Solid effort by ROB, enjoyed having Himmelberg out there.

Tex was a lot better and as mentioned he seemed to enjoy being more the FF.

Lynch was just awful, his knock on to Eddie aside. He telegraphs his passes and they're either cut off or he misses the target anyway. His only 'move' is the duck-under-the-opponent's-tackle-and-risk-decapitation again.

Feels like Talia is on his last legs. He's unable to blanket opponents like he once did and provides no rebound. Please prove me wrong and improve, mate.

So damn frustrating to see Milera go down - Hanley is an absolute ball of muscle and power; hit him like a rocket.

Hberg was finding the ball but fumbled the ball a few times, just nerves I guess and given time he should come good. Keith was solid down back, really like him in the team, bit like a Rutten but a tad more mobile.

Have we heard Pyke say anything about being down on the bench?

Can we expect this more moving forward? I prefer if he stayed down there to get away from the hacks in the box.

 

[Geoffa32]

They didnt out manoeuvr jacobs in 2017 when he made the AA squad

Granted he has finished now if ROB has half the career of jacobs he would be pretty damn happy

Will he become at least afl compotent or not us the question that we dont know the answer to yet

On [device_name] using BigFooty.com mobile app

Jacobs should have retired at the end of last year.

2017 he was brilliant and we could all.see.he was finished last year.

His games this year.have been embarrassing for a guy who was so brilliant merely two seasons ago. Smashing the "All Australian Ruckman" Paddy Ryder.

He had 14 possessions at 57%, allegedly, yet kicked 6.3. If all scores counted, it would be 64%, so points aren't counted as effective disposals: is that right?
