Match Discussion: Round 14 vs Manly @ McDonald Jones Stadium, New Lambton / Awabakal

[Knight Tales]

The footy IQ in some of these kids is special. They can see a moment and seize it.

Anyone else see McEwan absolutely not stop talking the whole time he was on? Still a kid but he wants to lead.

Definitely a talker, and a hype merchant as well. Saw him chatting with the debutant kid in the sheds at half time too, as if he was some sort of veteran passing down advice. I like him, you can see the potential there. Very raw still.

That is actually an amazing and weird stat.

Hugs in the box doesn’t look like AOB is going anywhere anytime soon…

Hahaha yep this game was all AOB and not the players. Unlike when they lose then it’s 100% the players.

Who was the other team we've beaten in GP?

 

[Alex28]

We going to lose Votano next year? Is that decided?

Gagai rarely misses a game as well. We don't have enough experience. Maybe 400k is a bit steep but we need him more than he needs us!

Melbourne is chasing both of them - talk they will leave before the end of their contracts.

More Knights juniors going to Melbourne to not play first grade. They can be stuck behind rep players here!

Broncos 2004. Kidley field goal.

Mate - I’ve joined the “maybe AOB isn’t what we need” club. That 45 minutes doesn’t change things.

They keep playing like that - he can stay…

I love how they used a pic of Phoenix for the "failure" statistic. lol.

Broncos. It was the Kidley field goal in 2004.

Imagine being that stupid!

In a post match clip Best was wearing a black armband.
I wonder what that was about.
I didn't see anyone else wearing one.

God yes, if we played like that all the time no-one would be complaining. The problem is that two hallmarks of that win - competing for the high ball and early ball movement, are things we normally look coached to avoid at all costs.

If we played expansive, attacking footy and competed for the ball like that more often then no-one would be talking about the coach. But we don't. In fact tonight we showed that we absolutely are capable of playing that kind of football - even with a lot of men down. Yet most of the time we do not.

But honestly we shouldn't take the gloss off what was a really satisfying win on that topic imo. This is the first time I've felt excited about our football this year honestly. We need a lot more of whatever happened in that last 40.

All players had one on.

Not the only reason, but a tremendous example.

I haven’t posted on here in a very long time, but I felt the need to log in just to say that we are a f***ing horrible football team.
Letting players like saifiti, Barnett and Thompson go, and replacing them with no one. Oh wait, we bought a 1.3mil 5/8, that’ll solve all our problems.

We are a f**cking good footy side when we want to be. Being Bipolar is part of being a knights fan isn’t it

I think being a knights fan is a major cause of bi-polar.
