Match Discussion: Round 19 vs Manly @ 4 Pines Park, Brookvale / Cammeraygal

[slotmachine]

The only time we look remotely dangerous is when Pryce runs and gets a quick PTB.

Best papers over grand canyon sized cracks in defence on that left edge

 

[Loose Cannon]

Absolute brilliance

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

That was cool

 

[Woody90]

Ok that was cool

our backs are all out of their depth but that was still cool

 

[aqua_duck]

Our left edge defence is like SG Ball standard, makes you appreciate what Best brings to that side defensively

 

[Bartwah]

Nothing like the Sunday afternoon knights ruining a perfectly good weekend <3

 

[Walk On Home Boy]

That's enough for me, I've seen this before...many times. I'm not sitting through that again.

Commiserations, gentlemen.

 

[perverse]

Honestly, we're just there to be someone for Manly to beat and have a party today. We're a complete non-factor in this match, lol.

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

Only takes a tackle in the air to get us a penalty lol

 

[Woody90]

We are missing 4 of our 5 starting backs. How did you not expect we would struggle?

Of course we were going to struggle.

Doesn’t mean AOB should be exempt from criticism and given a free pass for picking a young kid on debut out of position in the most important defensive position on the field.

 

[Apey]

Missing 4/5 backs and its the 1/5 getting embarrassed for the most part.

That last Manly try was pretty good, and their second legit one.

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

The Manly players are literally laughing at us lol

I think it highlights how much Best makes Marzhew look good. He’s been just as bad as Cant today.

 

[Woody90]

Feel a bit sorry for Pryce as he’ll likely make way for Gamble.

I’m ok with that until you consider that someone like Marzhew will probably keep his spot due to lack of other options.

 

[Jono078]

I always expected us to struggle today, but Alex's defense of AOB is unwavering to say the least.

You don't see Melbourne put up these excuses.

I'd be surprised if this didn't end 46-6.

Bold to assume we will pass 0

 

[Allstar Knights]

Marzhew has been bad but Cant has been constantly burnt on the outside every time basically.

 

[Woody90]

Yeah I can’t see us being able to score a try.

I’m with you that Marzhew’s been terrible. Cants simply getting burnt for speed though. Can’t even blame him though as he’s a backrower.

I just hope it doesn’t hurt his confidence too much as he has potential if he’s picked in his correct position.

He doesn’t need my defence. He’s going nowhere.

Melbourne have been much, much better at talent identification than we have for years. That’s why they can find quality players to throw into first grade time and time again.

We are literally just starting to do that.
