Match Discussion: Round 11 vs Bulldogs @ McDonald Jones Stadium

[NoSchitSherlock]

Difference there was it didn't go to Fitz to turn it back into the middle into nowhere.

 

[Mr_Knightside]

Mann’s kicking has been better than Pearce. Hard to believe given their relative salaries.

 

[Bartwah]

May as well put Mann in the 7 jersey next week. Kicks, passes, runs and tackles better than Pearce

 

[K-Man]

How is Pearce so bad at grubbers? It defies belief.

I know comments like "I used to have a better grubber in high school footy" are absurd because at this level the pressure and the defence is incomparable, but that aside Pearce's grubbers are actually that poor. It's genuinely not that difficult a skill to execute.

Mann stepping up

 

[Burns]

Need to do more than just put a bomb kick up

 

[slotmachine]

Go away Pearce

 

[Mr_Knightside]

Why do we persist with that bomb when we should be putting it along the ground at an angle?

 

[Burns]

Way too much one out runs

 

[Tom155]

Got absolutely nothing to end sets, time after time

 

[Yosh]

Ffs... Last tackle and Pearce pass flat to Fitzy..

 

[K-Man]

Ooh baby that short ball from Pearce to Fitz is going to work one day for sure. Mitch knows best.

Honestly Mann is our best play maker

 

[K-Man]

Why are we trying to shift it wide with long passes from dummy half to Pearce? It's so obvious from the Sione try how we need to attack. So incredibly obvious.

 

[Mr_Knightside]

Barnett having a blinder. His defence is superb. Pity he’s playing with a team where no one else shows any aggression.

 

[Burns]

Be like Mann

 

[Frederick]

Ignoring the late rally, we deserve this loss for that insipid first half

 

[K-Man]

Honestly Mann is our best play maker

Sad but so true. Going to Pearce is killing our momentum. Mann is the only one who sees how to break down this defence at the moment. I reckon if Pearce wasn't out there and Mann took total control we might have won.

 

[Yosh]

Damn... Terrible... Mann playing the ball there 1000%.
