Match Discussion: Round 18 vs Melbourne @ AAMI Park

[Jono078]

That was innocuous with Finucane - danger signs for any potential teams interested in him.

 

[General Knight]

And why does fitzgibbon look so spent?

 

[Yosh]

Surely ten minutes??

 

[slotmachine]

Clifford making Josh King look like a hole running weapon

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

Ha no penalty.. what a joke

 

[Jono078]

That was a great kick by Phoenix but what a shit shit chase!

 

[perverse]

We literally cannot do anything right tonight. This is so painful to watch.

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

Why was crossland the only one chasing that kick???

 

[Yosh]

Quite like Crossland's short kicking game. Really unlucky there.

 

[perverse]

The thing is I don't even mind losing this match, it's the fashion in which we're doing it that is so frustrating. For and against matters here as much as a win for us.

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

And now we've lost Ponga..

 

[Yosh]

If Ponga needs to go off and Hoy comes on, I'm going to turn off the TV.

 

[K-Man]

Wait so anything accidental can be penalised these days “to protect the players”, but that doesn’t include pushing an opponent into your teammate’s shoulder?

 

[Muddy71]

And now we've lost Ponga..

No great loss

 

[Jono078]

The gap between Friz and Fitz is astonishing.

 

[perverse]

Where's Clifford with the boot? Crossland doing a lot of work.

 

[Walk On Home Boy]

If anyone wonders why people don't rate Ponga, watch this half again. For all his talent he has SO many flaws in his game. He's 23 now, the time for waiting is well and truly over. These are his prime years and imo he's not living up to his talent.

 

[Jono078]

You all see Fitz run to get onside there and he runs straight to the wing then next play he gets close into the ruck? He sucks. Not a bloke you want on your team in tough times.

 

[perverse]

There we go. More of them please.

 

[Knight Tales]

With Clifford's kicking game we should be hitting it downtown early in the sets when it is on. High completions does not beat this team. You have to throw it all against the wind and hope it works.
