There goes Harvey for a few weeks

 

[ferball]

Did Harvey just do his ankle?

 

[Sillygit]

maybe a bit early to be worrying about Goad?

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Anyone worried about Goad? I've yet to see him win his own ball in any game

Nup. He was always going to be a slow burn. He was drafted for his freakish athletic potential.

There goes Harvey for a few weeks

Looked bad.

 

[Northwards]

Anyone worried about Goad? I've yet to see him win his own ball in any game

Nah not yet. He’s a raw stick figure who gives up a lot of weight in contests.
If he played a similar style in a year and half I’d be worried but not yet.

He’s actually quite clean ball on the deck (effort earlier aside) and skills wise he’s much better than I thought, can spread better than some of our midfielders too. He’s a project but one I think will come good. Just my opinion of course

 

[bennymate]

Well done CT

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Curtis was good there.

 

[Fart Cummings]

bit rough on young Goad hes a big raw type dont think its fair to compare him to Edwards, lets give him a couple pre seasons first

 

[FlyHigh18]

Not the best game but Duursma needed this. Just to remember what it feels like to kick a few

 

[Northwards]

It is such a shame Lowson isn’t a few years younger

, huh.

 

[Groucho]

Lost by a goal

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Hansen Jnr playing this 2nd half have hardly been sighted.

 

[bennymate]

Sydney cheating, classic. 26 frees to 10!

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Glad the umpires got the result they wanted from the outset. 25-10 is just beyond ludicrous, but has become the standard at this level. Absolutely ruins the sport.

 

[Twangler]

Is it the umpires, or do the coaches need to get the players do train discipline to get the free kick under control. Happens at both levels.

 

[Ichiro #51]

Luke Parker, huh.

He went back probably 5m inside the line of the man on the mark. Ump was either too stupid or too weak to move him on to the right line.

 

[Hass29]

Once he puts on a bit of size Will Dawson is going to be a very good intercept defender very impressed with his game today .

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Is it the umpires, or do the coaches need to get the players do train discipline to get the free kick under control. Happens at both levels.

Always an element of both, but umpiring standards have generally been poor at this level for as long as I’ve watched it.

 

[Mr north man]

Well umpiring was last week as well but our club won’t complain will just like to up the spinkter as normal move on nothing to see here mind you how marvolous it’s going on Linkden any sponsor on board whoop pee

 

[hellas_johnny]

Pathetic umpires. Great effort just a shame couldn't grind out the end. 3 minutes to go and we were up with 3 kick outs on a row yet nobody moving to call for it short for the quick quick ending in us having to bomb in long. Players need to be more proactive. Dawson very good contested Mark and great in he contest but very worried about his kicking.

 

[Twangler]

Sure it can be poor but that doesn’t necessarily explain the lopsided count each week unless it’s pure coincidence. I’m not one for conspiracy theories so player ill discipline has to be the main factor.
