SANFL Round 11

[CaptainDangerfield]

The umpiring was very odd and as a neutral it probably stands out more. Some extremely soft 25's were paid early on.

Wasn't the central umpire a predomiantely AFL umpire. He must have been considering some of the soft free kicks he paid.

 

[RoosterLad]

Even the commentators mentioned the lights and there was a bit of a Borat moment when one said.. now the lights are on you can see much better.... not!

 

[CaptainDangerfield]

I said "almost" did I not?

Meesen averaged 13 possessions and 5 marks per game last year, and for a 19/20 year with about 75% game time that is not bad at all. He moves well enough to be a KPP, is obviously fit enough judging by his draft camp results, and has good skills and reads the play well. Make no mistake his ruckwork has a long way to go, but if that improves potentially we have quite a complete player.

Oh and BTW mate, this was Maric's 8th game back. 5 league games, 3 reserves. 1st game back I think not.

So he struggles in the ruck, he's not a CHB and not a CHF, midfielder maybe??

BTW Maric's game count is going up with every post.

PC - Did you catch any of the brawl at the Northern end at the end of the last quarter and after the match?

He started it. A Port supporter was dissing Zach from BB.

And I made sure he knew about it too

Sorry macca I missed it. I know Jeremy Clayton was an angry ant all day

The Blue Army was at that end, I was on the wing behind the Port interchange box ... I stayed for the song and left after that

 

[Crow Envy]

What? And you say my understanding is embarrassingly limited?

This was his 5th or 6th league game of the season. He hasn't had more than 6 possessions in a game. I didn't expect him to come back and dominate, but this was his 8th game of football for the year now and he's still showing NO signs of improvement. It’s a worry, I would've thought he would be showing some signs of improvement.

Marics stats yesterday were 13 possessions, 8 marks, 1 goal, 4 tackles and 17 H/O. They dont look to bad too me.

With about 5 minutes left everyone at the Northern End turned around and started moving towards the fence. Had a look after the siren and it was still going.

Alledgedly some bloke in Westies gear threw a couple at some psycho Sturt female. Couple of guys were going for it and about 7 security guards had to hold them backand pin them down. Ended up the cops came and both got arrested. Apparently the West supporter legged it. Psycho female went nuts at the security guards and cops and almost got arrested herself, much to the cheers of the crowd watching.

That explains why the Weslo bloke rushed to that area from next to me.

It was dark as you know and it was a struggle to see the middle of the ground, and my eyesight is poor at best

That's what I thought too. Not too shabby stats for a guy coming back from a serious injury in what his 2nd or 3rd league game.

Yeh his second half was a big improvement; he would've only had 3 possessions at half time. He played loose in defence for most of the second half, standing in front of Chambers.

But it was the dropped marks, the struggling to win hitouts vs Feast that was discouraging. And it’s funny how everyone on here who watched the game thought Maric had a stinker, and yet those who just see his stats try and talk up his game.

How stubborn are you, seriously? Macc19 attend every Magpies game, and he said this was his 5th league game, he even posted his stats. I have all the stats for every SANFL game this year, yesterday was his 5TH league game.

If Meesen had stats like that, you would have him in Magary Medal contention.

 

[Gets!]

Is Sellar lining up for the bays today?

They are flogging West at the moment...

Hopefully Hingey and Dougie are going alright too.

 

[postmanpat]

does anyone have feats stats....that could show how maric peformed...

So its ok to use stats when they paint a poor picture or if your quoting Meesens stats?

 

[Gets!]

Anyone got any stats from todays games?

Did South beat the Dawgies?

 

[Douglas26]

No.

Bays SMASHED west, and North also got up.

 

[Stiffy_18]

No.

How did Sellar play?

 

[Gets!]

Sellar played well and kicked some goals.

Got that off someone from safooty.net

Don't have anything more specific unfortunately.

 

[RoosterLad]

I love you North.

Roosters, Tigers and Dogs notch up wins

NORTH Adelaide burst clear of Woodville-West Torrens in the final term to notch a hard-fought 28-point win at Prospect Oval this afternoon, with Glenelg and Central District also recording wins.

Despite carrying a three-goal lead throughout most of the match, the Roosters were unable to shrug of the persistent Eagles until midway through the last quarter when Chris Ladhams kicked the sealer from the boundary line.

Key North forwards Clint Alleway and Michael Wundke played important roles in the win, booting four and three goals respectively for the hosts while rover James Allan found plenty of the ball.

Makeshift Eagles forward Ben Schwarze led well and booted three goals but a lack of support in attack certainly didn't help the visitors' cause.

Meanwhile, Glenelg continued its crawl up the SANFL ladder and consigned West Adelaide to cellar-dwella with a thumping 132-point win at Glenelg today.

West scored its first goal 10 minutes into the third quarter when Glenelg had 14.12 before winning 26.18 (174) to West's 6.6 (42)

And Central District survived a tough fight from South Adelaide to triumph by 21 points at Noarlunga Oval.

The Panthers will rue poor kicking at goal for the defeat after taking the battle to the competition pacesetters. CD 14.11 d SA 10.14.

 

[RoosterLad]

Stats = overrated.

He kicked 3.1 as posted above, surely "Sellar played well and kicked a few goals" will suffice. Who cares if he had K:15 HB:10 M:8 as that doesn't tell the whole story you statwhore. It is difficult to judge his performance today as there was no opposition.
