2nds Peel Thunder 2019

[Square Peg]

Boy I hope that half time score line has a good explanation from those watching the game, cause that's a disgrace.

 

[Scham]

Jones 3 touches. 2 frees against.

Valente 4 touches.

Meek 5.

Carter 6.

On the plus side, Darcy, North, Watson, Bewley and Banfield have good numbers.

 

[Dale147]

Pretty woeful so far, half time

Sturt is off with concussion for those wondering why he hasn't touched the ball.

Cheers. Thought he did something. Hopefully nothing serious?

Jones with a goal. No need to go to the slow motion replay.

The other guy came off on a stretcher. He at least walked off but won't be coming back on.

Bugger!

Anyone got a broadcast?

George Grljusich's idiot son does some intermittent broadcasting live at the ground via twitter for some of his East Fremantle mates. Exclusively a Sharks perspective, so you won't hear any Peel players mentioned. Plus he barracks for West Coast and hates the Dockers.

If you ever heard his ridiculous calls on Fremantle Radio he is wont to word associate into song lyrics. eg: (Ian Dury "kicks it straight, straight, might be great" and ZZ Top "the first to the ball, he's got the legs, knows how to use them", Elvis "On the edge of reality of being deliberate out of bounds").

Anyway, Jones got a goal from 30m after a push in the back. EF thought it was holding the ball.

 

[Scham]

Starting to fire up now! C’mon Peel!

 

[UYD 4 Life]

Anyone actually at the game?

 

[Scham]

Dixon and Valente still playing?

 

[Cesoir]

Anyone actually at the game?

Yep.

 

[freo1997]

Yep.

Is Darcy doing much around the ground?

 

[Scham]

His stats look ok.

 

[freo1997]

His stats look ok.

Look average on paper

 

[Scham]

Look average on paper

Hmmm. Ok. We have a different view on things. It’s not exactly big man weather, he’s winning the taps and has got a lot more of the ball than his opponent. On a day like today, it’s unrealistic to think he’d get 20 disposals.

 

[Scham]

3 points in it and we presumably still have the breeze. All set up for a good last quarter and hopefully we finish over the top of them with so many AFL listed players.

I was just curious of his efficiency and work rate from someone at the game.

He’s expected to carry the ruck load for an AFL team pretty much now..yes he’s young, but he’s been fast tracked with games been pumped into him. I hope and expect him to dominate in all facets.

 

[Scham]

And we hit the front!

Valente and Dixon must be injured.

 

[stax on the mull]

Merrett for Peel, then Holmes for EF put EF back in front at the beginning of the 4th quarter, but heavy rain falling.

 

[Square Peg]

Yep.

Do we really have as many injuries as it appears from looking at the stats?

Hopefully, and yet, I hope not...

 

[stax on the mull]

Merrett's 2nd goal in the 4th puts Peel 5 points in front. EF broadcaster saying Peel have been winning clearances all day.

 

[Scham]

Lachie Schultz showing why the coaches have had some much love him. Seems a wet tracker.
