Preview Matchday Thread - Round 18

[Silvagnis]

Poor decision by Simpson, had Russell in a mile of space 30m out.

They never give it to Russell when he's free and on the move.

 

[Alpha1]

The way we have been playing we don't deserve to make finals, same old story. Lucky we are only playing North but that makes it even more embarrassing.

 

[ESKIE]

It is BS when soon as a player thinks he is going to get tackled he drops to his knees and ducks the head into the tackle.... FFS North have done it 5 times tonight and have gotten a Free every time.

Truly the worst umpiring all year.

They need a blast at half time as well.

It;s so frustrating.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Where do you start?

Would be great if they invented a position called centre half forward.

Combined tackle count would be 5. (hardest hit was us running into each other)

Set shots missed by the Skippys -10.

We can't play any worse, they can't play any better.

Let's hope our 10 minute bang gets us 5 goals.

I suppose thats a positive, isn't it?

Mate, have seen Box Hill Adelphians v Koonung under 15's better than this.

 

[BlueSnake]

Either Judd needs to lift or we need to help him more - probably both.

He's being beaten by some random spud ATM.

Let's hope for a massive 2nd half.

 

[ESKIE]

Poor efforts notwithstanding, and I don't often say this, but it seems the umps are doing their best to stick to the "romance" script for NM....

But seriously, what's wrong with them? You'd swear they hate us.

Sigh.

Anyway we're being outcoached in the midfield setups again, barely have a defense....

Still, I have faith.
Walker's starting to get some touches, seems to have real intent. Stevo doing well.

Well yes Stevo does look good...and having faith good idea, having glass of red is a better idea at the moment.

Maybe get Fev out of the goals square and stick Stentanta down there....ala against the Swans. Put Stevens in the centre and Judd on the half forward line, I also think Gibbs has done well, Murphy, Simpson need to lift and take the game on.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

But don't be afraid to go back to plan A Ratts.

You've got 3 mobile 6'4 guys in Hampson, Irish and Kruezer,
shit stack it up, put Walker behind the ball.

Let Irish run with Petrie.

If 5 is sore, play him as a forward.

Work this out Number 7.

 

[Alpha1]

Sorry but Ratten is not a good coach, if he can't get the team up and we keep coming up with these sort of performances on a regular basis questions need to be asked of the MC.

 

[Alpha1]

Adam Simpson on one leg is killing us lol, Nic Stevens with shit disposal lol

 

[goreds]

The next 10 minutes will tell us....

 

[Cruiser23]

Gibbs, great stuff...

Far out Fev.

 

[Alpha1]

Fev misses again, FFS do we want to win, do we want to play finals?

 

[Alpha1]

And Brent has a shot at goal and kicks it.

I don't mind this idea.

 

[Cruiser23]

Bryce keeping us in this, fantastic goal. Always wondered why he hasn't been used up forward on occasions.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Goal from the boundary from Number 4.

Stone Roller.

 

[Blue_Ninja]

Ya gotta love the Wiz Kid.

 

[Blue_Ninja]

We need a few on the trot now......

 

[BlueVision]

Fev misses again, FFS do we want to win, do we want to play finals?

We are tanking Alpha

 

[Cruiser23]

Thornton goals after good work from Hadley and Murphy...

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Thornton goes bang.

I go jizz.

We are back!!

 

[goreds]

Gee,

Thornton has only got 1 arm thats working...

 

[Blue_Ninja]

Does the Judd man need a break? He seems a bit out of sorts....
