Match Discussion: Round 18 vs Melbourne @ AAMI Park

[Yosh]

We're missing Dan for sure.

I feel like Melbourne are just toying with us atm

He's 19 and not even spent a year in a very foreign and new environment. He may not make it, but it's a bit premature to write him off yet I think.

It’s a fair point, but they’re also the kind of excuses one has to make because the downsides so look so obvious. Maybe he will develop fast and become a good player, but he will need to. He’s the same age as Tubuai-Fidow, and these days even at 19-20 you want to see a proper first grader. Let’s hope I’m wrong.

That's fair. They look like they will win comfortable just by staying in 2nd gear.

If you were brought through in Australian systems all of your life, I think that's a fair expectation. He's got a lot of catching up to do, but he's improved heaps since the start of the year already for mine. Still plenty to work on, no doubt.

Too easy

 

[Burns]

We just arent in it at all

 

[Jono078]

WTF was that! Barnett and Fitz bit lazy there.

 

[perverse]

Fitz caught daydreaming there.

 

[macavity]

That was terrible

 

[Tom155]

Wtf is with both teams wearing White jerseys. Storm leave their main back in Melbourne?

looks like we did

 

[Yosh]

We've had very little possession and our lads look tired already... Worrying...

 

[K-Man]

Haha what is Fitz doing? It looked like the 80th minute for him. Awful.

 

[Tom155]

awful

Jacob's attempt wasn't much better

 

[slotmachine]

Why are we are re-signing fitz and Mann again

 

[Jono078]

It always looks like the 80th minute for him after his first tackle or run. It drives me nuts.

I'm f**kin over him, I'd hook him for Jones. I was asked why I like Jones a little while back by someone on here - I like him because I reckon he makes that tackle 10/10 times.

 

[PhilGould]

Saifiti Barnett and Fitz all made to look very ordinary there. Storm are running riot through the middle and they're all out on their feet already. Josh King to the rescue?

 

[Jono078]

Jacob's attempt wasn't much better

No it wasn't but the Cheese does that to many. Fitz's effort was just shit though. Lazy. Not switched on.
