GAMEDAY ON THE GOLD COAST

[True Believer 1]

This is UNREAL.....

GO DEES.... happy with what I hear !!!!

[Keepin up with the Joneses 48]

Is that the best first quarter we've played all year?

And how unbelievably good is it to have a ruckman who can actually ruck?! Jamar is making a massive difference to our on-ballers.

Brilliant goal from Frawley, and quality work from little Addam Maric.

Bate brought his sticky hands as well I see.

GO DEES!

Edit: for those without Foxtel, we're down by 4 points (after kicking 5 behinds )

Is Frawley playing forward?

[Wadda We Sing 10,685]

Good on ya Gardiner enjoy your time off

[Wadda We Sing 10,685]

Is Frawley playing forward?

Hes on Riewolt I think but kicked a great goal

[davey_magik 1]

Is it just me or is the ABC commentary horribly biased against us (AGAIN)?

[Whispering_Jack 29,773]

bless her soul

Good first quarter but Saints getting on top early in the second with more direct play.

[jnrmac 20,053]

Frawley kicks into a Saints player rebounds to Reiwoldt who kicks out on the full from 5m out!

[Sideshow Bob 2,343]

addam maric and jack grimes...... wow have they 4 games or 204??????

maric is seriously killing baker!!

grimes just oozes class

LOVE BOTH OF THEM (in the manly non-sexual kind of way )

[jnrmac 20,053]

Goal to Green. 6 pts the difference. Close to half time. 7.6 to 6.6

[Forever-Dee 0]

Tackling pressure in the first quarter was awesome, they were just closing them as soon as they got the ball.

Eight points in it at half time......

Go Dees!

[Sideshow Bob 2,343]

half time

down by just 8 points. a couple of skill errors and turnovers the only reason we're behind

[Wadda We Sing 10,685]

How about the 1 percenters from Maric... slik as....

[Wadda We Sing 10,685]

Is it just me or is the ABC commentary horribly biased against us (AGAIN)?

Foxtel is raving about us...

[Tony Tea 2,806]

Serious question: have we had a free yet?

[Jaded No More 68,867]

Is there any chance PJ might actually hit a damn target? He is woeful, utterly woeful.

Our young guys are just so impressive.

Maric is playing one of the best games I have seen from a young kid in a long long time. His class is unbelievable.

Grimes is another one who just keeps on shinning. He seriously looks like he has played 100 games.

I love that both are getting more of a midfield run today, and getting their hands on the ball. I would like to see Morton on the wing for a bit as well. He is wasted in the back half IMO.

Jamar has been very good, his contested marking stronger than I remember.

Bate is also having a ripping game, but the forward line is lacking a target without Robbo. The Saints have 10 marks inside 50, we have 2. Pretty terrible.

We still turn the ball over far too much, and while we are putting amazing pressure on the Saints (despite them dominating the clearances), when we win the ball we seem panicked and all over the place and become way too obsessed with the handballing.

The third quarter will tell us everything we need to know about whether we are any chance of winning this. We have to maintain the intensity but calm down with our ball use and think things through. Maybe Sylvia will come alive again?

Best/ most influential players thus far: Maric, Bate, McLean, Jamar

[jabberwocky 2,301]

Matthew Bate is such a confidence player, he is doing very nicely tonight. Strong hands and smart footy on the deck.

Brock is in everything.

Grimes has not wasted a kick and has taken some courageous marks.

Maric is a smart, nicely balanced player.

Rivers V Koschitzche is a worry.

Lenny Hayes is a great player.

[Sideshow Bob 2,343]

how good was that grab from grimes? back with the flight of the ball into a pack of 3 tot 4 in the back hotspot and NEVER took his eyes off the pill. great grab

[Jaded No More 68,867]

Rivers V Koschitzche is a worry.

Lenny Hayes is a great player.

Rivers is winning the contest thus far (comfortably). Absolutely no worries there.

Who the hell is on Hayes... and Goddard for that matter. Both are ripping us a new one!

[The Lobster Effect 887]

Serious question: have we had a free yet?

8 frees to the saints, 2 to us.... sounds like business as usual

[RalphiusMaximus 6,023]

Is it just me or is the ABC commentary horribly biased against us (AGAIN)?

Actually, a couple of them have been really talking us up. They seem quite impressed.

[Sideshow Bob 2,343]

Serious question: have we had a free yet?

ummm...... NO!

and they're getting away with throws, push outs...we should've had about 5 holding the balls as well!!!!!!

the only one i remember was the downfield for gardiner throwing an elbow at the russian

[Jaded No More 68,867]

ummm...... NO!

How was the inconsistency with not rewarding Rivers for a clear push in the back, but then paying one against him for a fairly weak push IN THE SHOULDERS?! <_< :angry:

At least the umpires are leaving them alone to contest in the middle and not calling "holding the ball" every five seconds.

And I'll say it again, PJ is horrendous. Can't dispose and gives away completely stupid frees. When Jamar is crapping all over you, you know you're in big trouble.

Dead set killed by the umpiring. The AFL really want two undefeated teams in round 14. It shows
