Game Day Round 8 - Melbourne v Sydney - MCG - Saturday May 8 2021, 7.25pm

[Crimson Azure]

Horrible, horrible football for the second half of the quarter. Got 22 up and decided that was enough.

 

[Jamurp]

Horrible last 10 minutes. Clearances are a massive problem, we get killed constantly. Petty looks bog standard too.

 

[schmuttt]

Petty been really poor. Tommo going down could be a bigger loss than what we thought..

Being 4-13 out of the centre wouldn’t matter who is down there.

 

[mrmonkey]

Lost a quarter by a point we really should have won that those last few minutes were so costly and now they have the momentum.

 

[schmuttt]

Horrible last 10 minutes. Clearances are a massive problem, we get killed constantly. Petty looks bog standard too.

Actually +6 in stoppage clearances but -9 out of the centre.

 

[LarryDavidNeitz]

Some seriously shithouse football that quarter. Everybody thinks they can break four tackles and we let them set up behind the ball and had no targets to kick to.

Weather like this makes Melksham and ANB even more useless, you need quick, clean smalls and they’re the opposite. Add in Fritsch and Pickett having bad games and getting smashed in the clearances, we’re every chance to lose this.

 

[Crusty Demon]

This game should be over. Centre stoppages huge problem. We have Gawn, Oliver, Trac and Harmes and we've won 4 out of 17. That's unacceptable. If longmire does it everytime we play them.

We haven't lost a last quarter so I'll back us in, but i can just as easily see us lose in a tight one. Some lazy campaigners and cheating umpires keeping them in this..

 

[Daemon]

Feel it's going to go either of 2 ways: We overrun them, or heartbreaking close loss.

 

[Daemon]

Btw, umpiring has been poor but there have been a lot of non calls for the Swans. Can't blame them for us not taking our chances.

 

[schmuttt]

The centre clearances are very pre-2021 in that swans player gets it our guys get sucked in and they have one mid on the outside for the handball every time.

 

[schmuttt]

Btw, umpiring has been poor but there have been a lot of non calls for the Swans. Can't blame them for us not taking our chances.

Yeah umpiring is s**t but both ways. Swans should have had a shot on goal late.

 

[netslave]

Would like to see Trac, Harmes and Kozzy in for centre clearances to stop the rot.

 

[Crimson Azure]

Whatever happens from here it will be all about the swans heart they showed.

 

[Crusty Demon]

Fritta been useless. But have to say the delivery has been atrocious all night..

 

[Headless]

I wouldn't say no to a centre clearance tbh.

 

[Fork n Hell]

oliver weak as piss at that CC

 

[Daemon]

Yep, clearances.......

 

[Crimson Azure]

That was a pleasant first 12 seconds.

 

[slackboy72]

We've been murdered in the clearances.

 

[Crusty Demon]

Another centre clearance loss. Pathetic. You could see this was going to.cost us. Game over. We're cooked

 

[Dancing Potato]

Think we've been on top overall and have just failed to capitalise. Pretty much the same s**t as usual.

 

[Zoops]

It's happening again...

 

[Crusty Demon]

Brayshaw is a s*** footballer.

 

[Crusty Demon]

We are absolutely sh**ing the bed here

 

[netslave]

Time to pull a rabbit out of a hat Goody...
