Match Discussion: Round 15 vs Cowboys @ McDonald Jones Stadium

[Burwood]

We lost that half.

 

[Haffa]

That’s should actually make most of you happy.

Yeah we will miss his kicking

 

[Knight Vision]

still lacking a hell of a lot of enthusiasm, defense hanging back, no line speed, half assed kick chase, standing flat and no support play. Our attack is stilted and lacking direction.

I keep waiting for this team to click and it just never happens.

 

[NoSchitSherlock]

Haven't they ruled recently that if it wasn't going to result in a try it's not a professional foul?
We have no halves. Up to Ponga, Mann or Crossland for 10 minutes at least.

 

[Knight Vision]

I think we're in for a rude shock when possession evens up

yep, they made so many mistakes and we just couldnt capitalise.

 

[Spot On]

Why does Pearce not vary the way he puts up a bomb? Just try kicking a different point/area of the ball for once, please!

A million a year for the same end to set kick that rarely allows our chasers to contest.

f**king, f**king stupid.

O'Brien needs to fix that shit or get a new halfback.

 

[Haffa]

The replay makes that play by Pearce so much worse.

 

[perverse]

We've fluffed a lot of chances. We should be up by 20, but on the plus side we're staying calm and patient at the moment. There were a few kicks there that were a lucky bounce or half a length off a try. I think if we can stay patient we'll be ok, even with the injuries. The injuries are really starting to get tiresome, though. We just can't catch a break.

 

[perverse]

We were gassed at the end of that half, though. Not a good sign... we couldn't keep it with them.

 

[Yosh]

Sad about the injury... Actually like our play. Mistake free and dominate with defense. Wait till second half to attack a tired defense. Then Pearce gets himself binned... For nothing...

Anymore experienced spine players we looking at short term? Then again, I don't want our club to ruin another career...

It knight just, we have ten mins before Pearce is back...

 

[aqua_duck]

I think we're crabbing too much in attack, few times Pearce got the ball and for some reason runs 30m side ways back toward the middle. We look most dangerous with Kalyn getting the ball out back and running

Losing Green obviously didn't help there, either. Mann breaks down a lot of Kalyn potentially getting the ball.

f**king, f**king stupid.

Not a million a year player...

 

[Loose Cannon]

This club is death.

How hard is it to play football? No clue how to be professional.

That's why I like Mann at hooker, when he runs he's not going towards the sideline

Are you f**king kidding?

 

[Knight Vision]

we need to be a different team in the second half or we'll lose this.

 

[Frederick]

Well, we start the second half without the two halves that started the game...that's pretty different

There are plenty of players/teams that can do it.

Your obsession can’t. At least not intelligently.
