Todays Game

[irish_setanta]

Nice first quarter, hope we can keep it up.
Great first half, lots of possesions to alot of our midfielders
Dogs 7.6.48 to blues 7.5.47

 

[Stig O'Hara]

1/2 time and pretty impressed.
Our endeavour is first rate.
Sometimes lack a bit of polish skilwise,
but the guys are taking risks,
and we seem to match up pretty well.

Hope it continues.

Gotta love the way the kids are going

There really having a dip arent they.

 

[Corrosion]

The boys are giving it everything they've got.

Come on Blues!

 

[jj1978]

You Can Do It!

 

[irish_setanta]

The boys are having a red hot go here, and thats without much of a imput from fev, fish and lappin.

 

[Stanton]

Good to see players like Bentick, Blackwell playing well and Kennedy having a go. That French handball was a shocker, hate to see skill errors at critical times of the game.

 

[Corrosion]

Absolutely shocking last quarter. How can we play like we did for three quarters, then just fall in a heap? So ****ing frustrating.

Seriously, how hard is it for us to compete for four quarters?!!!!!!!!

 

[irish_setanta]

Its turning ugly now, S@#ts me that we are only capable of playing 3 quarters, how many more times do we have to put up with this?

 

[jj1978]

At least Collingwood is going to lose!

Maybe they're losing this to put more people in the stands for next weeks game... the Essendon and Carlton supporters will fill up the G next week to cheer their boys away from the wooden spoon.

It just shows we're so close... only 1 quarter away from being a really good side.

Thats so true jj1978, thats what makes it so frustrating, 1 quarter, its always 1 quarter.

 

[irish_setanta]

Why does the club keep playing Sporn? The guy had 3 possesions today, would rather that we played a rookie than keep playing that DUD.How long until someone realises that the guy is no good?
I bet someone comes on now and tells me he was injured, well if he was shoot him.

 

[jj1978]

We'll get there soon enough... we did it today thanks to our kids, they played with heart.

Heart, something a few of our senior players need to learn again (can't blame them for having it drained the last few years though).

GO FREMANTLE thump the pies!!!

GO BLUES NEXT WEEK!

With Waite and Kouta to return we should be able to compete for 4 quarters! at least against essendon.

Id like to make an announcement of Trent Sporn's retirement on his behalf. Thanks for the memories Trent, sub 5 possesion games, turnovers and sitting on the pine. Now please go back to the Bullants and dont pull on the navy blue again!

Good he wasnt injured, just proves how poor this bloke is 1 kick, 1 mark, 2 handballs and 1 free against, how poor is that.

I dont like to pay out on our players but he is officially crap, i believe at least one of those 3 possesions was a hopeless clanger! At least with Waite, Kouta, Bryan and Russel in contention next week we shouldnt have to see his ugly face again.

Exactly

I know Ryan has improved ****loads, and yes i was one of the first to start the ryan disapproval threads... but i am starting to like him now.

BUT why the hell didnt he lay a f*cken tackle today in the last 1/4 on our 50... tried to bump the guy, then he ran foward after it - bulldogs ran foward and goaled!!

Anyone else see this? Changed the whole course of the game!

Yeah i saw that should of laid a tackle. The most obvious one was Barnabys handball to Minson however, i mean that was hopeless. I thought for most of the game Ryan did some good things including some work in the clinches. I hope Bryan gets a run next week. Not sure if Kouta, Waite, Russell and Bryan will all come in though?

 

[Mr.Kennedy]

Once again we played another game were we shoot ouselves in the foot.Too many turnovers.We gave them too many goals and I do mean gave,passing the ball to the opposition so that they score goals directly from it.We really need to cut that out,its making opposition look better than they really are.Yes,congratulations to Sporn on his retirement and French is a tosser who also should retire.Not impreesed with McGrath either.

 

[Dude Lebowski]

How pathetic was that last quarter. When will they ever learn. We make the same mistakes week after week. We would have to be the stupidist team in the AFL and I mean in footy smarts and most probably intelectually.

Sporn should never step onto a football field ever again. Not that you would have known he was on there today only for his mistakes or him running 10m behind his opponent who had the ball.

Walker isn't up to it. He couldn't keep up to a 30year old today and at times he didn't even look like he's trying. When he does get the ball he can't kick. There is little use putting him in the midfield because he would just turn the ball over even more. May as well kick the ball the other way or just handball it to the opposition and get it over with.

Same with Bentick and Carazzo. Yeah they get the ball and try, but their lack of pace, footy smarts and kicking ability is just pathetic and not up to the level. Again they may as well just give the ball back to the opposition.

There were positives though. Youngsters like Blackwell, Setana, Kennedy, Simpson, Betts were fantastic and most of the team played reasonably well at times. But we will not win any games if certain players are still in the side. All they do is ***** away opportunities that others bust their gut to create. It's very sad when an Irish guy who has only been playing a couple of years had more poise and skill than these nuffies.

Once again the old line will come out, there are alot of positives, well id take a win over any positive.Hopefully that win will come next week.

What the hell was Stevens thinking dribbling the ball from that close, he should have drilled it right thru the middle.

Excellant first 3 qtrs then we went home I think.

What would we be like without Lance?
