Round 25 v Storm @ AAMI Park

[TheFrog]

Ask Gavin. He should know.

If you believe what they say in their podcast they rarely see each other.

 

[Abacus]

More like a top 2 side with a couple of champions and a couple of others out. They missed Munster and Slater badly.

How is this different to a reserve grade side. Seriously, have a look at their team - apart from Smith & JAC, where was the danger likely to come from?

No one has given us the same consideration considering we've rarely had the same team 2 weeks in a row.

Don't go looking for pity. It's finals time now.

We had a win against an understrength Storm. We improved but more is required. Complacency and over-confidence are the last things we need.

Who was named man of the match?

I counted 4 last tackle penalties we gave away. Mansour's binning was BS but not the penalty. He was pinged for not playing properly. Dropped the kickoff.. Plenty to work on but defensive attitude was perfect

Get on your knees smith and beg you grub

Slater?...
I know,...I know...


I'll lock up on my way out.

 

[betcats]

We really compressed our line. Souths would rip us to pieces on the edges if we play like that but regardless I just want us to play with grit like this even if we lose.

They didn’t let us. Smith was throwing two man cut outs from dummy half. They were playing expansive.

The refs are going to ruin the finals for a few teams, the nit picking last night was disgusting.

 

[The EELiminator]

congratulations to you all gee the panthers showed some guts last night

i never would have imagined a team with zero ball in the first half and on the wrong side of a very lopsided penalty count including two sin binnings could fight back to win but they did it

If Hook was the coach, then the Panthers would have lost that game.

Without going World War Hook for the 19th time, why?

We legitimately did that same thing 6 times this year under him. We might not have had a great game plan but he installed the tenacity & resilience we saw last night.

Difference is if Hook was coach, people would be banging on about another poor start & we only won on the back of individual brilliance & how lucky we were they had so many players out...

Even I'd forgive Hook on the end of that bullshit refereeing display

Nathan showed great vision with that kick for Blake. Certain people in here won't like that

I do not rate Hook.

Nah Griffin wouldn't have deserved blame for that first half.

I thought he would go for the pass and it would be intercepted. Luckily Blake is freakishly tall and athletic as he got a horrible bounce that very few players could have gathered and grounded in that situation

Most critics of Nathan’s would love to be proven wrong I suspect, dare say they love the team more than their opinions.

The thing is Nathan hasn't had a bad season.

Griffin has never beaten Bellamy? Score one for Ciraldo!
