Game Day Round 4 vs the Camries - official game day thread

[Snake_Baker]

Zurhaar, Turner and Anderson are smashing in to Crows bodies at every opportunity. 14 tackles between them. THAT'S the way SHINBONERS play.

Wood is looking dangerous every time he's near the ball. Brown is starting to spark.

The bloke we all wanted in the side, Ahern, has done little more than coast about all night looking for easy touches. He MUST lift.

 

[The Butcher]

correlation not causation but.. f!@$ me Andersons inclusion has changed our pressure. Also, is the Zurhar our best ruck?

 

[Kanga Glory]

Kick straight we are 5 goals up. Just keep the pressure in the last quarter and we are home.
Please lease please I need a win , I have not watched a replay all year and tomorrow I am free.

 

[Devington]

Also, our HBFers are getting a hell of a lot less possessions and tbh we're benefiting greatly from that. For the first time this year the backline isn't under near constant siege.

 

[SpiderBurton22]

Brown getting on some short but decent leads on tonight. Assumedly because of better structure/personnel and pressure, but hopefully it also means his conditioning is finally up to scrap after an interrupted preseason again. Missing some very gettable shots though.

It's amazing what quicker ball movement can do.

 

[Danni_Benson]

So many of our kicks have far too much hang time tonight. A.nnoying!

Loving our effort though. About time!

 

[Roosurgence]

Can they just give the players a participation medal and call this game off?

This is a horrible exhibition of football. Terrible skills, disgraceful umpiring and paid professionals that can’t kick a goal.

Get the bloke from the crowd who kicked 3 at quarter time.

Adelaide are one of the most insipid footy sides and they will still manage a win out of this somehow.

 

[Royal Flush]

Zurhaar just hit beast mode

Always been a beast

Bad luck on the kick Jmac but excellent effort

Best thing thing I've seen him do all year, then he kicks it ootf.

 

[Gasometer]

Sometimes you gotta win ugly to get confidence up....come on!

 

[shintemaster]

Jmac doing as expected. This team loves hamstringing themselves before they run out.

 

[Snake_Baker]

The boys really hungry for a win. Reckon we might be cooked and get ran over

Higgins rested for a lot of that quarter and Cunners didn't do many midfield minutes in the first half. Execution is the only thing that will beat us.

............AND LOOK! WE ACTUALLY PUT A GAP BETWEEN HANDBALLS AND KICKS!!!!!

 

[Roo182]

Kayne Turner won't get dropped. I don't necessarily agree with that, but he puts in that extra little bit of feistiness that I can tell Scott loves. Question is - will he get any better than being a little X-Factor twig?

Richo, charisma of a rock.

3/4 time thoughts

Atley looks the goods.

Adelaide are atrocious.

Ben Brown is the new Lindsay Thomas. Playing for free likes nobodies business.

Even though I have given up on Brad Scotts and the team, I still like to see us winning.

Turner is not up to it. I like what he brings to the team but if you can't slot those shots, what's the point?

Huggins coming back from that hit to do what he did that quarter. Enormous.

Zurhaar has some mongrel in him. How is he still in the team? I like it. Persist.

We all like to stuick the boots into McDonald but reality is, Adelaide are one man down in their rotations, thanks old Lukey Mac.

 

[nicko74]

Sustain that effort and we win

 

[The Ardent Army]

Tackles like a wrecking ball. So often the ball jars free it dont matter if the holding decision is paid.

Has stopped them in their tracks many times

 

[sruss]

Best thing thing I've seen him do all year, then he kicks it ootf.

Definitely the best thing his done all year, if you’re only going to do one good thing all season though, going back into the mark like isn’t too bad

 

[tales129]

Zurhaar a ******* wrecking ball.

Then beats Jenkins in the ruck and smashes in at the contest

 

[Royal Flush]

Free kick north

That was what, 2 meters. Paid a mark!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[gokangas]

Hall FFS - that was our chance to get the first ffs.

 

[Roo182]

Thommo has been a lot better today. Looks less out of breath and more confident moving/taking marks.

 

[gokangas]

This is good - running down time. I like it. protect our lead.

 

[gokangas]

This was very good footy. Get the reward Ben - kick this (Hall should have) - nice one - goal.
