Northern Bullants Vs. Tasmania Match Thread

How many has he kicked so far today?

2 goals by half time, with around 12 touches and 4 tackles. his pressure and leads have been 1st rate.

Ackland getting spanked by street in the ruck, sad to watch really.

 

[Silvagnis]

Elevate Joseph and Ellard.

Joseph was a human clamp when he pinged a former AFL player in Thurley and knocked the ball free.

Thurley kept going and then broke Bransgrove's tackle when he got his hands on the ball again.

Great tackle from Joseph.

Edwards reminds me of a young Hamill with his size and defensive pressure because he puts his body in.

Ellard's defensive pressure is great for a slip of a player.

Austin will be a unit and a CHB like Maguire when he ran down the ground to have a snap on the run.

Missed by a hair's breadth.

Ackland went to the same ruck school as Fraser and jumps early.

Aisake tapped it down and roved like Kreuzer.

Nice pass on his left.

Great effort in defense when Aisake tapped out into the path of a teammate to clear the ball from the backline.

Jackson didn't go the first or even the second option and is up against to make it as a tagger.

Even though he's only 17, there isn't much of Cornelius.

He appears to be the same height as Fisher because he's shorter than Austin.

They appear to be playing Pagan's game plan under Teague.

Great forward pressure by Harts. Good enough for Fev, he thinks.

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Ants 60-44. Sounds like Ants are far better but not really working hard enough to put a real gap into them.

 

[thylacine60]

Jake needs to believe in his size. Tackling well today but too often gets brushed/pushed aside.

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Ants 60
Devils 52

Ants might be stuffing this up.

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

3 quarter time.

Ants: 8.12.60
Tassie: 8.10.58

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Impressed with Teague's 3/4 time address. Sounds like a likely AFL coach candidate. Articulate, smart and motivating.

 

[Silvagnis]

Where is Saddington?

Cornelius is playing in the backline on Edwards and doing a good job.

Can we swap him for Wiggins before the game ends?

Agree .

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Ants: 8.14.62
Devils 9.10.64

Will this be the one that got away?

 

[BlueBelle]

LOL at Cornelius! He just handpassed from FB.

 

[BlueBelle]

Great roving goal from Ellard! Bullants up by 5 points 10 mins into the last.

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Ellard off hands for the goal.

Ants: 9.15.69
Devils: 9.10.64

2.3 to Ellard

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Teague's strength wins out, marking in the square, goal

Ants: 10.15.75
Devils: 9.10.64

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Does anybody think that Teague has improved his VFL form from last year now that he is coach? Standing tall with responsibility.

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Teague kicks to Wiggins 35m out. Misses.

Ants: 10.16.76
Devils: 9.10.64

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

77-65 as they exchange behinds

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Ants: 10.17.77
Devils 9.13.67

Game is balanced. An AFL player needs to stand up and win this.

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Joesph lining it up, 21 mins gone 4th quarter. Misses

Ants: 10.18.78
Devils 9.13.67

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Need another goal to seal this. Don't want a Devils goal to make things nervous.

10.18.78
9.14.68

I am talking to myself for the benefit of those that did not hear the coverage and want to follow the sequence of events. The other half is out so I can afford to indulge myself and do nothing.

 

[thylacine60]

Is Wiggins Bullants best?

 

[TBNB]

On the edge of my seat......

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

26 mins gone. Nathan Street to Cornelius, Boundy should have spoiled there. Goal

10.18.78
10.14.74

Uh oh
