Matt Bowen got lucky.

 

[innsaneink]

What a garbage call....Linnett was level with Bowen, NOT offside....crap penalty and a try ensues.

 

[18to87]

That try just further proved to me why AFL is completely useless. When you can get catches like that in the NRL why bother with AFL.

 

[typicalfan]

Nice try. Cronk is so clinical.

 

[Moffo]

Storms getting free kicks again?

 

[user_nat]

Anyone else find that Widdop looks and plays very similar to Slater when he is at fullback?

Except in defense maybe..

 

[typicalfan]

I like Rory Kostjaysn. It feels like they are grooming him to be the next Cronk.... although he isn't young so maybe not.

He has a similar step to Slater, better natural ball player though.

 

[typicalfan]

Wow exciting stuff that. Cameron Smith is a genius.

 

[user_nat]

Pretty impressive set by Melbourne just there.

Not playing like the same team as last week, the difference that Smith makes.

 

[typicalfan]

I think Slater in that attacking raid would mean points though. They just lack that polish.

 

[user_nat]

Fair point. Not really noticing any involvement from Rory Kostjasyn either, which can't help.

Cowboys are going good at the moment, when did they last win in Melbourne? They need to start converting the dominance into points though.

 

[Snappy]

great footy to watch

 

[user_nat]

Nice little run by Bowen, great tackle by Widdop. Surprised Widdop was back there.


You just know Duffie is going to make a shocking error at some point if the commentators keep talking him up.

 

[Snappy]

Bowen dummy's to casper the ghost

:lol:

 

[user_nat]

Great goal line defense.

 

[Snappy]

always laugh when players motion with their hand for their team mate to come back inside.

Do they think the opposition dont see it either ?

 

[typicalfan]

Real match of the round.

I think I read that Thurston has never won in Victoria at club level. Speaks a lot about the record the Cowboys have in Melbourne.

 

[beave]

We haven't won in Melbourne since 2000 at etihad from memory.

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

We could be looking at a double upset here.
