Game Day Practice Match up in QLD v the reigning premier

[Carmo]

Totally took control that qtr. Fixed up a number of probs. Got a better balance of kick mark vs play on, noticed their tactic of having most of their mids defensive side and moving it back B4 going forward and addressed it.

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Isaac Cumming looking very solid

 

[FR0GGY]

He definitely lacks class but he’s a major ground ball winner so I’m not sure that description fits

Down hill skier?
There was horrible vision of him last year walking with no effort as the opposition with the ball waltzed by.

 

[Scorpus]

I'm just glad we're playing a real opponent instead of beating up on a horrible West Coast

Playing well against Brisbane is worth 100000000x that of playing a bottom side in pre-season

 

[MRB37]

We have been terrible at locking the ball in the f50, ie repeat entries.

Early signs that is an area of improvement this year

So good play by Cummings in that regard during the last 10 minutes.

A lot of teams seem to be pushing for a smaller, mobile forward line where we have probably gone the opposite way going taller and more contested.

 

[FR0GGY]

Peatling impressive.

Cumming working into the game

ANB doing what he does.

Get back to the hotel, we've seen enough

Nah premiership qtr coming up

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Down hill skier?

Needs to play with full intensity for 100% of time with his lack of class

Prob pacing himself

Or just cooked

 

[spenze]

Just **** him off please.

WE DONT NEED HIM ANYMORE NICKS

It's a pattern hey?

 

[FR0GGY]

Was soligo off most of that qtr?

 

[Cromulant]

Need to take Tex off and give some space.

 

[1970crow]

Lions gone deeper into their bench with everyone bar Smith taking the field. We've still got Murphy, Draper, Jones and T.Murray get to see the field.

Continuity credit building starts on match sim.

 

[Schulzycrow]

People are taking p1ss out of Laird for sake of it now no matter what he does

No balance

Seen one good possession so far. Other than that it a high loopy kick or handball to someone under the pump. Game has gone past him and there are better options available.

I think people also underestimate the conditions

Lots of Skill errors and fatigue and fumbles are due to conditions , try going for run next time you’re in QLD in Feb if you’re from Adelaide and it’s super rough

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Laird surely giving Nicks and the coaches something to think about here

 

[Carmo]

I just switched off, have seen enough, intensity totally absent so nothing to learn. Reacher episode 4 much more appetising.

Intensity totally absent? What? This is one of the best pre season games you'll see, they're stuffed from contest work, not cos of bruise free half back to half back ping pong crap

 

[footy4ever]

Rankine carving up this quarter.

Take off Thilthorpe, Dawson and Rankine at half time. We're good to go

Nicks has us humming

Not sure if serious but yes take off Rankine Daws Thilthorpe Soligo Tex.

Unleash T Murray and Draper.

Let Murphy and Jones run rampant...

Pies fans were calling up SEN here in Melb today calling for Premierships...

They beat up on possibly one of the worst sides put on the park in years. Hilarious.

 

[spenze]

Laird might be a chance at the Magarey this year

 

[mulz]

Good QTR, Daws has had a big half, give the skipper an early shower, no point risking his body anymore

 

[Pugsley]

Seen one good possession so far. Other than that it a high loopy kick or handball to someone under the pump. Game has gone past him and there are better options available.

When Rowey is taking the piss out of you, it's time to give it away.

 

[Jeffcrowe]

There’s been more than 1 effective possession

Maybe the other coaches, but I doubt it with Nicks. He'll be saying, especially with Smith out that we desperately need his experience down back.

 

[Carmo]

Isaac Cumming looking very solid

Was shit early, got a lot better ( after getting a few messages from the runner)

 

[Pugsley]

Laird might be a chance at the Magarey this year

As a mascot?

 

[Golumless]

Laird surely giving Nicks and the coaches something to think about here

Yup, especially as Nankervis is having another good game.

It may end up being the 22nd spot is between Laird/Milera.
