Rd8: Eels v Cowboys GAME DAY THREAD in Darwin 30/4/22

[strider]

22 minutes to go, we haven’t scored a point and the coach has an X factor player on the bench that he hasn’t played. But he continues with his son. The merkin needs a kick in the head

At least put him on cos every other merkin is buggered as f**k

 

[Soto]

Pea hearts...the end

 

[the phantom menace]

And 20min of this shit to go... just as our defence (not the Cowboys defence, as predicted by Poupou Escobar) starts to fade.

 

[jk13]

You reckon?

We storm the streets if otherwise!!

Dylan Brown reduced to a hit up man

 

[Poupou Escobar]

If that's your explaination, then why did you bother typing anything about the attacking record for the season in the first place, Captain O?

Because we are one of the best attacking teams this year. Why does this one game matter more than all the others?

 

[EelsFan05]

I can't fathom why BA would put his son's career to the sword like this. Not only that, it's gonna kill any mojo DBrown was finally finding in the halves.

 

[DaveMc]

Drown, Moses and Gutherson have all done f**k all. But but it's Arthur's fault

Come on man. It’s fine to have a different opinion, but this performance has shown that Jake just isn’t a first grade footballer at this point. You’re just being contrarian for the sake of it now.

 

[Incorrect]

Why did JA fall to his knees that play.

He was praying - hoping that his Dad would be a first grade coach for another 15 years so that his career could be maintained...

 

[hineyrulz]

This game doesn’t matter, no game matters. The coach doesn’t matter. The players don’t matter unless they favour a Pou argument.

The earth and my receding hairline doesn’t matter.

 

[Noise]

Dylan Brown reduced to a hit up man

But it gets Brad’s son on the field so it’s worth it.

 

[hindy111]

Fancy taking the form 5/8 out of his Position and putting in a numpty

Yes, even though I'm no Cartwright fan (too erratic for regular first grade), when you're 15 points down at the half, playing away from home in oppressive heat with everyone gassed - that's when you put your attacking x-factor style of player in the game - not with less than 20mins to go and you're 20+ plus points behind.

I’m convinced the coach has a brain the size of a pea

 

[hindy111]

I repeat this coach won’t win us a comp. Why persevere ? 8 seasons of failure

But maybe just maybe they'll go for

It’s not just this game merkin.

 

[Jake the snake]

Wow the attacking footy is so amazing.

Oh do f**k off with your magazine-grade attempts at philosophy thought experiments.

 

[strider]

Ambush!

I can. He’s the coach FFS. He’s got at least another few years of first grade
