POST MATCH DISCUSSION

For all the cr&p Rodan has got he has played really well tonight.

His big body and positioning was excellent.

Hopefully it will continue.

where the hell is the David Rodan love!??

lol nouns are for objects, not names, that's my lesson for the day. That, and what it's like to be corrected and hit with a retro, yet cutting comeback, on a public forum.

Great to get a win that I actually care about, unlike the GWS win earlier in the year.

Geez we were cooked in the middle in that last quarter. Minson was ridiculously dominant. Gawn had done so well up until that stage.

I really like Nicho as a tagger, has a huge tank, has speed, and just has more strings to his bow than McKenzie IMO.

[Maldonboy38 6,406]

I didn't see the game tonight and have had only a passing look at the stats. Where did we actually win the game, if we got flogged at centre bounces? It sounds like Dawes, Watts and Fitzy did well - was this where we won it?

[Philthy 284]

I am proud of the boys for hanging on. We had some absolute shocking calls from the umpires AGAINST us in the last, giving the dogs the momentum.

For a team that does is hardly ever in games, to dig deep and hold onto the win, I say we'll done!

[McQueen 17,867]

Rodan did today what Magner cannot do. More footy smarts, more pace and obviously more experience.

[DemonOX 8,801]

happy with the win,but its a thing with our players, they seem to take the foot off the pedal after a good patch in every game, after we kicked three goals in a row in the last and were up 44 points, our player start slapping each other on the back, then we relax as a group, this happens every week.

It doesn't happen every week angrydemons as we have NEVER been up by 44 points.

We basically had the same mids all game (ie not changing players cause we lack mids) hence why we tired badly.

We still won and that's the main thing.

[Norm Smith's Curse 2,602]

YESSS!!!!!! That is all I have to say - well other than the fact that Dawes and Rodan were good pickups, Clisby, Jones and Terlich look tidy and finally we get to see what Watts and Fitzpatrick can do!

[rpfc 28,779]

If anyone is wondering what happened; the blokes simply tensed up.

In sport, if you are doing well and find yourself on top you should never 'look down' because then you try to 'not screw up' and stop doing the things that got you to where you are.

That and the kids can't run out games...

Spot on - Nicho works well as a tagger. because he has an endless tank

Look at post 102 dd

[Sir Why You Little 37,138]

They're nouns.

Hahaha!

[Norm Smith's Curse 2,602]

Mark Neeld sucked the life out if this list.

Neil Craig just might get it back.

We won tonight thankfully. The belief will come.

Mark Neeld what the F did you do for 18 months???????

I saw signs of belief, confidence and the players enjoying their game. I took that as confirmation of what the last 18 months have been. This was a real win too - not GWS.

[CBDees 3,167]

Nice to wake up in New York and read everybody's happy posts! It sounds like it was an encouraging match. Glad to read that Watts played well as I have never lost faith in him.

We won it because of our forward press. We got repeat inside 50s because the Dogs couldn't dispose of it going out of there defensive arc.

[Norm Smith's Curse 2,602]

What a day! Hogan kicks six, we win just, Wallabies get up and now Tomic playing on the grass!

[Norm Smith's Curse 2,602]

Clearly Watts is a forward. Clearly Nicho is a run with tagger. Clearly Fitzpatrick finally has shown what he has to offer. I think the whole list has really stepped up. I see belief, confidence, no second guessing.

Craig although its early does seem to be able to coach...

[Chook 15,022]

Cool, but they're also words as well.

[Deecisive 1,709]

A great job Dees, should have won by more but a win is a win. Its a start back on the road to redemption.

[Norm Smith's Curse 2,602]

Dawesy looked like Schwarta out there today in the long sleeves!

[DemonOX 8,801]

The worst was when he said this is the first game Sylvia has ever tackled in, and claimed that 'the 2 tackles Sylvia just had are probbaly his first in years'

What a little midget loser Shaw is, Sylvia is one of our most prolific tacklers and always has been.

I can't stand the commentary and I use that term very loosely of Derm, butt face shaw, BT, Ricuto as they add noting but like the sound of their own voices.

Lets no get too carried away there NSC.

thanks, Chook. If our forward press worked, and it has rarely worked all year, how bad were the Doggies in the first three quarters?
