Round 22 v The Storm

[Hound of Dracula]

Now I am waiting for @Old Timer to comment on how we played Storm at home but they did not try so it is not a true meaasue of our coach or team

Well I'm just wondering how long before the 'Sack flanno" crowd start bawling "PEP TIDES"

Bloody morons

 

[<StGeorgeDragons>]

Thirsty would have enjoyed that tonight.

Did not Kyle get pulled back or tripped as fell over in support

BLM thinking your right , and we didnt get a penalty

 

[Dragon David]

We are a much better team with JDB coming off the bench to shore up the second half of the first half.
My only concern was comment by Cooper Cronk in the last 10 mins - 'our only attacking option appears to be a high kick for Lomax'. We need more attacking options next year. More speed in the backs.
Meanwhile well done to all tonight.

Well next year we won't be kicking high kicks to Lomax as he will be at the Eels. It might be to another tall winger though.

That Lawrie one where he thought he steamroll defenders instead of passing.. omg.. there were so many moments like that that could have been the difference in the end.. many were via the ref, he was trying to find some way to take the ball off us in every situation.. there was a couple like the sele offload or RFM losing the ball with a few minutes to go.. lots of moments.. any of them could have robbed us at the end.. but got to admit we defended pretty well for the most part...

Obviously Storm errors were important, we always struggle to go set for set in high % completion arm wrestles.. I think we were making more metres than normal too.. well.. a lot of sets off our line were lomax and co just toughing out 5m at a time... but once we got the ball in slightly better position... we were passing it wide and hitting our edges and it paid dividends.. some risk but so much better than just sending one out blokes into tacklers.. its clearly something they trained for... and its something the dogs do and then some.

do you know something we dont

We may not win the GF this year but that’s got to be the next best thing. Such a great win, a real team effort. I’m so happy for Flanno and I don’t think we get that win tonight if we had a lot of other blokes coaching us.

Oh when the Saint’s…..enjoy the rest of your weekend everyone.

 

[mickeylane]

Totally unexpected- that’s a semi final win..

 

[RedVDave]

3rd best game I've ever been to only behind the 2010 preliminary final and GF can't believe it so pumped go you Dragons!!!

 

[TheRev]

Certainly played above at least two other forwards. Great win but interesting that 3 or 4 of our players were ordinary . Does that make it an even better victory ?

It a shame Toby has 1 more week of suspension.. I think playing both against the mobile storm pack would have been rly beneficial.

BMM gone for the year, its going to be Lawrie again cause no other choice..

If we can land some decent players for next year, you will see us shine in most games I reckon.

To all the Flanagan haters … try to keep smiling

I think the Flanno bus will have a few more passengers after tonight’s great win.

Indeed.
Loved what we did tonight and what is says about our trajectory. Enjoy each win.

Does this game get in the way of last weeks theory that we wont win another game all year? Asking for a few friends.

Wake up and take your hand off your dick you've already blown your load so best you mop up and go back and do a bit of reading.

Maybe an apology might even be forthcoming but I won't count on it.

 

[Dragon David]

Hit the pause button on your remote Dave , and when u come back in hit Pause play..u wont miss a thing .....

Thanks DD, I never thought of that. Cheers. Thank goodness it didn't have any bearing on us winning.

OT has made positive comments BLM01.

Surely David, we've done enough now to earn the respect of prospective players, beating Melbourne in Melbourne? We've got decent money to offer. What more do they want?

If we want to experience more success like tonight we need to clinch these ace players.

We have several wins at home I'd say.

We will get them. There is no way that Flanno won't get the players that will help us a lot next year. There are ways and there are ways. They will come I am sure of it.
