Review Round 17 vs Adelaide

[Iva Bigun]

Lemmens is so impressive. And coming off such limited base. Just tries his guts out.

3 touches in the first half

 

[SandyToes]

My 12yo son's reason for not going?
"No interest in watching us get thrashed again dad and who wants to see Eddie Betts kick 7 goals against us?"
Should have put that wager on for him

 

[Ben Drever]

Eddie betts hadn’t kicked a goal for weeks.
Next minute 20 touches and 6goals

 

[Sunny_]

3 touches in the first half

Took some time to work into it but he's just a presence. We need more of him.

 

[SandyToes]

The Suns have produced just six effective kicks inside their forward 50 zone for the entire game.

That's why no-one wants to go any more
You don't mind getting beaten- it's the 11 years of woeful ball use that finally kills you off

Oh but we broke his drought at Adelaide Oval too don't you remember?
I like him but he's a flat track bully
If he gets a quality lock down defender he's pus

 

[Sunny_]

Burgess, Riordan, Graham, Dawson and even McLennan should be in the frame to come in next week. Maybe even GHS which really tells you how much I'm reaching. Murdoch looks like he's injured again or I'd bring him in.

 

[Cochblocked]

Macpherson going at 40% disposal..

 

[Sunny_]

Daysy has never given up at least

 

[Sunny_]

Macpherson going at 40% disposal..

He and Fiorini looked cooked. They're young mids forced to carry too much. Especially with Bowes and Ainsworth not there to support.

 

[SandyToes]

Might need to pay whatever Daysy's asking

 

[gcsunsfc]

Will has had a down night tonight.
Thought he'd been quite good in previous weeks.
7 possessions for a full time mid at 77% TOG

Witts clearly beat ROB early.
Can hardly think of another good player

 

[gcsunsfc]

Well <100 points.

 

[TheSunGod]

And we deny Adelaide yet again (a 100 point win!)

 

[SandyToes]

56 points- just shy of our season average of 61 so make of that what you will
but I'll summarise if you're struggling
If we're not defending we're not competing

Yeah like Adam Saad... oh wait...

 

[Jen2310]

That was a disgrace. Just as bad as last week. I'm not sure whats going on in this team.

 

[TheSunGod]

Well <100 points.

LMAO !!!

Good is a relative term.

If you can't kick and run these days your up against it.

 

[TheSunGod]

That’s about it. Adelaide are really an average team in this area and they made us look D grade.

 

[Iva Bigun]

We should all give the club a big * you after the last few weeks

 

[ajsars]

Anyone got inside word on why the guys seem so flat at the moment. I think we could end up losing by 10 goals to Carlton at the moment which would be a disaster

 

[gcsunsfc]

We should all give the club a big fu** you after the last few weeks

Lets all go down on Monday and leave a flaming bag of shite at the entry to the club

 

[SandyToes]

I'm a bit undecided on this
As mentioned we have a weak list
But I'm just confused by selection
Heron?I mean WTF?
What was his role supposed to be?
And Riska?You're just embarrassing a great servant of the Club
It was as if they selected on some arcane metrics that we poor slobs don't understand
There didn't seem to be any consideration of matchups
But they still expect us to turn up and pay to watch these guys that were always going to be off the pace
Well only 8700 turned up

Or a god send where they close up shop
