Rd7: LIVE game day thread EELS v Manly April 22nd

[Eelectrica]

Wow, somehow we're actually going to have a good lead. Maybe it will be 54-0

 

[Lemon Squash]

Jakey T has been our best player

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

With that try I reckon we've upped our odds to about 80/20 in manly's favour.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

What the f**k is in the water down your way???

Beer at the moment !!

 

[Wally21]

Best half of footy since Against Melb in the first semi last year!

 

[Incorrect]

Shows how badly we've been going and not able to score points - when we do score and try and celebrate we're knocking each other to the ground!!!

 

[Joshuatheeel]

That’s not the rule, people run behind there own players all the time. It’s only a shepherd if someone is obstructed from making a tackle

Fair enough, but if you run behind your player like Moses did the manly defenders can't move up as they are blocked

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Manly are awful. Thank god

 

[Chipmunk]

With all the possession, all the field position and all the penalties then a scoreline any less would've been a disappointing at this stage.

We look like we've come to play today. We need to make sure of the job in the second half. We can't allow Manly back into this one.

 

[Kornstar]

F**k. They look like they’ve won a grand final.

My assumption is that Kaysa is quite a popular player with the group (cause he trains the house down is committed as f**k) and he is always to blame when we aren’t winning so they are happy for him.

It’s easy to hang shit on every player from where we sit......

You need to watch more football

 

[Gronk]

Good stuff.

Cool head idiots. They will come back when possession swings.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

I do!! My wife says to much !!

 

[El Diablo]

the Kidwell effect

That may be true but each time a ball goes to ground every team does the same thing, it would have been extremely weird for them to pull it up that time.

 

[Gary Gutful]

Good stuff.

Cool head idiots. They will come back when possession swings.

The refs will make sure of that.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Impressive stats from that half, 89% completion rate and only 4 missed tackles!!

 

[Dibs]

The refs will make sure of that.

This post is missing a pic of Peter Beatie

 

[Kornstar]

The refs will make sure of that.

I know you say that in jest but with the penalty count so far in our favour there will definitely be square ups.......it will just depend if they are early or when the game is out of reach.

It’s what they do in most games, not just Eels.

Gutherson is just pure class.
