Sausage from JOS

 

[VandoHawk]

O'Sullivan has something

 

[Roger Rogerson]

Hope JOS can play a bank of games he’s got hardness and intensity.

Dear looking good

 

[grumbleguts]

So what is the obsession with Stefanakis with these commentators. It's all "We" referring to geelong and "YES! you F**ken beauty!" when Geelong score. But when Stefanakis is any where near it they lose their minds.

 

[ahhhhhh]

I might get banned from this forum for saying this, but Tucker looks better than Reeves.

It’s a fair call if talking long term.
Tucker still 19/20 - Reeves is really worrying.

 

[Dewnior]

Delivery into the forward line appears to be the difference between the two teams today

 

[VandoHawk]

If I hear those "quads were pumping" from the commentators about Sefanakis again I will be very upset.
He kicks a gimme to get us back to 12 points.
Tucker shown some good signs today.

 

[Roger Rogerson]

HTF was that not a push in the back to BMAC. Fme.

 

[MJA33]

Hard work undone. Entry into forward line poor all day. Bounce back the other end and goal.

 

[VandoHawk]

I think BMac must have spat in the umpires cereal or something today, given away four 50/50 high free kicks but absolute silence when he's pushed square in the back

 

[Roger Rogerson]

I don’t wanna be 3 down at 3/4 time need to be within 2

 

[Roger Rogerson]

Come on Butsy

 

[Roger Rogerson]

Bang

 

[VandoHawk]

Butler gets taken high and pushed in the back.
Puts us back within 13.

 

[Changa10]

Opposite foot kicking practice for Bennett during the week.

He’s looked ok. Bailey too.

Love the look of Bennetts, but no left side whatsoever

 

[Dewnior]

Ryan is going to be the steal of the draft.

 

[VandoHawk]

3QT as Phillips drops another mark. Probably sums up his game.

Gee 10.10 70
BH 8.10 58

Once again, we controlled general play but were terrible with the final kick into 50. Geelong would often slingshot for a goal. Fix that final kick and we'll win this game.

Sully came on at 3QT and provided a real spark.
Clay Tucker showed some really good signs that quarter. Still very raw. Ditto Calsher.
Bennetts does a lot right but a lot to work on. As others have mentioned, doesn't have an opposite foot.
Serong continues to accumulate although his ball use wasn't as great that quarter.
Maginness has been linking and using it well.

 

[Roger Rogerson]

Ryan is going to be the steal of the draft.

Yep love him too. Hard as nails and just gets to really good spots defensively. Reminds me of one of our all time greats.

 

[Roger Rogerson]

The run from Shammy and Finn been great. Still hold hopes for Finn at the top level he seems to need to play a block of games to find form and to get his skills to an acceptable level.

 

[MJA33]

Seamus Mitchell looking good also building on last week. Good to see him taking the game on more in that quarter.

 

[Hawkspot]

Good signs from Dear, O’Sullivan, and Serong. Very much still a winnable game, another quarter like the third and the floodgates might open up.

Calsher showing he’s hard to move off the ball already. A great sign.
