GAME DAY - Round 19

[Chook 15,012]

Jeez the umpires are loving us today. I could get used to this.

[Wiseblood 24,637]

How good is Jetta at shrugging off a tackle, love it

And on Josh Green too, I hate that little seagull.

[Wiseblood 24,637]

It's nice for a change, but yes, getting a very nice rub from them at the minute.

Feels like we've been the better side this quarter, Brisbane's just had one scoring shot (which was a goal). But we're not getting anywhere on the scoreboard.

[Demon Jack 6,858]

Jonesy's playing a captains quarter. 10 touches and a goal with 10 minutes till halftime.

Its been a common theme this year.

[titan_uranus 24,969]

We are absolutely dominating in contested possession, currently 64-48 (apparently we're double them in this stat for this quarter). Disappointing that we've only scored 1.3 1.4 1.5 this quarter.

We're running a big risk of being trampled if we lose the momentum.

I was about to say the EXACT same thing about the umpires

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

Good decision by Vince to stop Bail marking the ball.

[Chook 15,012]

Amazingly well-worked transition for what I thought was a goal. Turns out it was a point.

[Deemotivated 550]

Good decision by Vince to stop Bail marking the ball.

Haha...

[P-man 13,366]

Good decision by Vince to stop Bail marking the ball.

Does it count as an intercept mark?

[Chook 15,012]

Daniel Merrett is the spitting image of Grenn from Game of Thrones. Grenn is nowhere near as objectionable though.

[Deemotivated 550]

Be nice if we could get our goal kicking right.

[P-man 13,366]

Next week is an easy decision. Bail out, Michie in.

[Wiseblood 24,637]

Our defensive efforts have been excellent, but our offensive efforts still need plenty of work. It will come.

[Wiseblood 24,637]

Next week is an easy decision. Bail out, Michie in.

Apart from a dropped mark and the odd mistake the bloke works incredibly hard, 11 touches, 4 marks, 3 tackles... far from our worst.

[titan_uranus 24,969]

Half Time stats:

Disposals: 190-176

Free Kicks: 15-5

Clearances: 14-21

Inside 50s: 19-28

Contested Possessions: 76-52

Tackles: 23-31

A lot of the ball for not enough inside 50s, and when we're inside 50 we're missing shots we shouldn't be.

Margin feels about right; we should have been 2-3 down at quarter time but we should have won that quarter by 2-3.

If we clean up the mistakes we look like we're playing well enough to get it done, but that's a big if.

[What 18,810]

a 1 goal quarter vs the Brisbane Lions in Mekbourne

dear christ

We should have blown them away that quarter but for some reason Paul Roos doesn't want us to kick goals

[Pennant St Dee 13,071]

Don't let common sense intervene, Bail is one of our best for forward pressure and defensive acts which are not measured outside match committee, but it's easy for posters to have him listed as an out every time we have a changes for next week thread.

Indeed it's his hard work that keeps him in the side.

It's more than 'the odd mistake' though.

Couldn't agree more.

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

Bail can do 10 good things but undo all his good work with one big clanger.

Whinge whinge whinge.

[Wiseblood 24,637]

Bail can do 10 good things but undo all his good work with one big clanger.

So can about 15 other players in our side.
