Game Day NMFC v Hawthorn - 7.50pm Etihad

[Dugdale2Dwyer]

Freezing my butt off at etihad in front row of cheer squad but what a great first half!!

Link doesn't work.

Wright is slow but not everyone can be fast. He's been handed a tough task on Breust. Take away the two possies he got on the back of an LA error and he's done well. Would have preferred seeing him up the ground. Jacobs has taken the game on and it's been great seeing the confidence back in his game (i think he's a keeper). It was a poor error though.

I'll admit im the first to criticize Wright at any given opportunity. .but he is playing well, played goal keeper well too reminded me of dusty

He is going better than usual I agree. I don't think he is fast enough for his size at AFL level, and his decision making is a worry as a defender.

In saying that, I hope he can improve and he is having a decent crack and I respect that for sure.

I'm starting to believe what separates LA from others in the vfl and allows him to have such high numbers is simply fitness and ability to run longer in the lower division

 

[koshari]

kidding yourself, he has put the pressure onto himself by being slow

yes and pressure is no excuse not to tackle when you cough it up. But iam sure that was a sarcastic comment anyway.

It has nothing to do with that. He still finds the ball at AFL level. He (and Jacobs) just struggle with the step up in intensity.

 

[Hopper10]

I thought Wright has been ok.

Effort, effort effort , I see it and that's all I ask.

Finish it off boys.

Cheers all.

Link doesn't work.

hahahaha is your computer/phone broken?
you need to get it fixed

 

[Wombat77]

Wright is too slow, but he has been ok overall I agree. Jacobs been better, but his pathetic effort in front of Hawks goal was pretty damning mate.....

I'm trying to work out which pathetic you're referring to? The one where he was robbed of a free kick with his tackle or the borderline drop mark?

 

[jobbidiar]

I love it when supporters hate a player that much they pick up on the littlest things just so they don't get proven wrong.

Wright and Jacobs have played well. Get ******* behind them.

They both have done well, Anthony though if he doesn't do something decent in the next 5 mins of the third quarter His AFL career should be over...should of got delisted last season imho

 

[Higgins2Waite]

This is great. So pumped the boys have lifted. This is the North we should be seeing EVERY week. Sub me in for LA i'm ready Brad

 

[justroyal]

He is going better than usual I agree. I don't think he is fast enough for his size at AFL level, and his decision making is always suss. In saying that, I hope he can continue improving.

That is a good point I've often forgotten. Considering his size he should be either quicker or more agile. Foot skills are aiding him greatly

 

[gokangas]

Hope we can keep this going. Must get better reward for effort second half or Hawks will run over us. So far, so good.

his gut running and ability to find space is the reason why he can find it at AFL level, I watched nth ballast a few weeks ago and saw Anthony have 7 clearances. He looks and believes in himself at level. For some reason, he doesn't have that confidence at AFL level….which result in him 2nd guessing himself and making him play soft at afl level.
