GAME DAY

[titan_uranus 24,975]

So for those not able to watch, who is standing out? Statistics would suggest N Jones, Viney, Trengove and Terlich are all getting amongst it. Anyone standing out? Conversely, who's struggling? Nicholson copping some flak I see. Anyone else?

I guess, after last week, to be 3 points down at half time is a positive.

Disposals: 180-190

Clearances: 17-19

Inside 50s: 26-22

Contested possessions: 58-67

Tackles: 33-22

[What 18,810]

Viney 14 touches, 7 contested, 5 clearances

This is where our culture will come from, kids like him.

Crap game

I'd give the career in comedy a miss Bazza.

[ThreeOneSix 954]

That was the arsiest goal of the year from Watts. Still great composure to slot it from 50 under pressure.

Loved Kent's attack on the ball. Might get a game on the sidelines, but well worth it.

Jack Viney is great in close and frees up Jones a little.

Jordie is doing a great job tagging.

All in all, it could be worse.

Yeah, I've been against us taking Aish because he is too outside, but watching Viney tonight, Aish would make full use of Jacks handballs out of the packs.

Good times going forward for us hopefully.

I agree Jordie is doing an AMAZING job on Ablett jr so far, hopefully he keeps it up!

They got on top for the 5 minutes Jones was off but otherwise we have been good but made some errors.

have you ever listened to BT? absolute [censored]

At least he's not completely and utterly biased

[What 18,810]

Crap game

We are down 4 points at halftime to the team that was $1.13 to beat us

bloody great game from where i am sitting

(now pray we dont get run over in the 2nd half)

[P-man 13,366]

No doubt McKenIe would be a useful inclusion as the tagger in a good side, but can we afford to carry him until we ARE a good side? Unconvinced, but a better performance certainly.

[CHAMP 347]

My god. Tony Shaw is getting even worse. I've never been this frustrated with commentary

It's significantly worse when he's paired with Dermott (who incidentally treated us today to "Only the very elite kicks of our ball can do it when running backwards........................Peter Daicos could do it"). FMD.

[Jaded No More 68,867]

They got on top for the 5 minutes Jones was off but otherwise we have been good but made some errors.

Never has it been more obvious that without Jones we may as well forfeit matches.

We lost our sh!t as soon as he came off.

Defensively we are going well, but the poor use of the footy with overzealous handballing is killing us.

And players who can't kick to save themselves, like Nicholson, are also killing us.

Oh and a lack of forward line is also killing us. Clark plays, we win hands down.

[Young Dee 1,303]

Crap game

Lighten up!

Gold Coast are a good team - they already have 6 wins for the year.

We aren't getting thrashed, our youth are really showing something and we are playing exciting quick corridor footy.

What did you expect?

Think he comes into his own more when the other team have a midfielder worthy of this sort of close tagging. When they don't we're basically just a man down.

he may not be biased but you never know whats going on in the game when he is calling

[deeflog 679]

why oh why is davis playing as a forward?

[RalphiusMaximus 6,024]

Umpire's goal to start the half.

[P-man 13,366]

Agreed. His shot at goal from the pocket said at all. Never wanted to kick it from the outset.

[Guest]

Unbelievable umpiring by McBurney again

[The heart beats true 18,110]

That 50 was ridiculous, and exactly the same thing happened to Jones out of the middle 10 seconds earlier and no 50.

[RalphiusMaximus 6,024]

And Strauss cops a boot to the face. Nothing.

[deeflog 679]

that was not a [censored] accident from Campbell.....you are a DOG campbell brown

[Guest]

Campbell Brown is a disgrace, that was intentional

Explanation for those without TV/radio?

[Jaded No More 68,867]

Campbell Brown is a dog. I hope someone breaks his face.

[cowboy_from_hell 2,390]

Explanation for those without TV/radio?

Brown was tackled by Strauss, Brown rolls over and flicks his foot up into Strauss face. It looked as ugly as a Dan Nicolson disposal.
