whinging about umpires

 

[Billyc]

Good contest. Our pressure is good and for once, some good forward efficiency. Need a lift in the midfield from Newk Worpel Day though

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Our midfield can't get near it at the moment.

Newcombe - 5 touches (all handballs)
Worpel - 4 touches
Nash - 4 touches
Day - 2 touches

Suppose that's a good sign given we are ahead.

Meek and Moore have been standouts. Pressure has been impressive for most of that quarter.

Great goal from Watson too, love to see that.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Equal Centre and Stoppage clearances.

-8 contested possessions
-5 uncontested possessions
-2 inside 50's
+1 marks inside 50
equal contested marks

Kicking straight really helps.

 

[Baz_hawk]

Midfield is still battling but we've been good around the ground. If we can get our core mids into the game then we won't have to be working out asses off for each goal and might be able to get a few from centre clearances.

 

[HedgeFund]

Is Frosty injured?

No that was just his turn to sit off in the rotation - which is a problem.

Weddle is playing way too far off his opponents. Membrey and King both marking close to goal with Josh unable to close them down.

 

[thehardway]

Good quarter but Saints moving it through the middle too easily.

 

[jenniferHAWKinS]

Bonner creating too much for them. Need to put some time into him. Scared of his own shadow usually.

 

[threesixpio]

They got the last couple of goals but overall I'm really happy with that quarter.

Our forward 50 entries have been so crisp. Marks to Gunston, Gunni, Wizard, Meek in goal scoring positions that came from precision kicks and great decision making.

Pressure was awesome and a nice reminder at the end that it's gotta been maintained.

Meek, Moore’s and Wizard’s goals were excellent. That’s a very different forwardline from last year and I’m loving it

 

[Mitchell Madness]

Worpel needs to be a bit quicker with his decisions, has been very close to getting caught multiple times

Doesn't show on TV his "slow disposals" are because he's waiting for an option down field.
If he rushes his disposal and turns it over you'd be saying he needs to be smarter with his possessions

 

[Bedi]

Very happy with that quarter, and looking very capable across all lines. Watson and Ginnivan very exciting and Dear again showing he belongs. A big fan of MacKenzie. Still raw but he knows how to find the ball

 

[Geead]

Doesn't show on TV his "slow disposals" are because he's waiting for an option down field.

Makes more sense, thought he was just lacking awareness and close to getting pinged

 

[Max Powers]

Keep up the rage boys.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

they're putting a bit of time into Day and Newk. Need Moorey and Nash to take their chances to get off the chain a bit.

 

[madhawksfan]

Great pressure and ball use for most of the quarter. The Wiz looks lively early.

They ramped up the pressure and we now need to respond.

Amon and Impey’s ball use has been average. That turnover from Amon changed the momentum.

Dear impressive again.

 

[Dewyyyyy]

Intensity dropped off but contest work pretty good and ball use inside 50 has been super

 

[threesixpio]

How good are Dear’s hands ?

 

[OnTheRocks]

Meek, Moore’s and Wizard’s goals were excellent. That’s a very different forwardline from last year and I’m loving it

 

[SSSSSS]

To be fair thats a tough kick from that angle especially at this ground.

Would have been like shelling peas for prime Gunners.

He was a deadeye dick.

 

[Leather Poisoning]

Good - they called it 'not 15'

 

[Max Powers]

Double standards are cool

 

[Mitchell Madness]

Ginni had his head taken off again and was standing upright and kicking... umps taking the p155 now, and the commentators don't even comment now...

And meek getting penalised for ball when that isn't ball anymore (taking ball from the ruck)

 

[Buzz Hawk]

Need more from Day and Newk.

 

[SSSSSS]

Need our mids to step up.

 

[Birdofprey]

Too cute Ginni
