Match Discussion: Round 2 vs Wests Tigers @ Leichhardt Oval, Lilyfield

[ryan.a87]

At least AOB now has an excuse when tigers eventually for 30 on us

Pretty damning comments from Gus in the commentary. "I don't like to second guess coaches, but I would never have moved him there (to 5/8th) in the first place. And that's not hindsight, what's happened was always going to happen."

I agree with him. I've never really understood it, I just don't think Ponga has ever played in the halves during his career, including juniors, for a reason. He is never going to be able to make a career of this, he's on a one-way trip to retirement at this rate.

All those other concussions at fullback were just bad luck?

Come on…

 

[Vibing]

18th man activated if Brailey fails HIA

 

[Haffa]

Penny just dropped for AOB...

Lose this and he has another excuse.

 

[Burns]

Penny just dropped for AOB...

Yeah that was some shot of the coaches box

 

[Loose Cannon]

Bench is genius, despite mediocre.

 

[Vibing]

Tim Sheens , first coach to go in 2023 LOL

 

[Alex28]

And just like that - 10-0 (edit)

Good on Fitz.

What's his position then? Because he wasn't staying at FB with his head issues either.

 

[Knight Tales]

Absolutely gorgeous footy. They are killing the middle. Great contact on the line.

 

[Tom155]

Not doing anything special but it's working

Seriously tigers how do you not know to cover the short ball to Fitzgibbon it's like our only move

 

[PhilGould]

Can't ask for more from Gamble so far.

Big bad Klem will unleash any minute now though.

 

[Haffa]

Good balls from both halves.

 

[Alex28]

18th man activated if Brailey fails HIA

Brailey didn’t look that bad. He should be ok (prayer hands)

 

[Loose Cannon]

Gamble going well.

 

[Alex28]

Can't ask for more from Gamble so far.

Big bad Klem will unleash any minute now though.

He’s needed 20 minutes to warm up?

 

[perverse]

Do the refs know what knock on means anymore? That ball was never, ever propelled towards the opponents dead ball line. This happens multiple times a weekend.

Did they change the rule to any loss of control of the football when I wasn't looking?

 

[Haffa]

You've got to ask why Gamble didn't warrant selection last week.

 

[Walk On Home Boy]

Lose this and he has another excuse.

Idk man, he looked forlorn. He knows the end is nigh.

 

[Tom155]

basic error
