GAME DAY, ROUND 3, 2015

[Chook 15,022]

H really had no choice as he couldn't handball and his back was to the boundary. The third quarter will show how much we have learnt. Need to get Vanders and Tyson back into the contest and improve our ball movement between the arcs.

He could have not picked the thing up.

[Lil_red_fire_engine 11,262]

Would be really nice to get our share of the free kicks 3 -4 were there costs us momentum

It kills me how much Danger and Sloane are able to throw the ball out of the contest when caught.

[Fork 'em 7,010]

Umpires should wear noise cancelling earphones or simply don an Adelaide jumper, it's so blatantly bad.

You don't get cheered paying Melbourne frees.

[Dr. Gonzo 24,368]

Cross is still getting isolated by opposition sides when they come out of defence. He needs the support of players to do the "quick switch" when to make sure we have someone else to run with his opponent.

[chook fowler 19,675]

Watts excepted our physicality is much improved.

JKH trie to be too flashy - needs to concentrate on the basics and Kent needs to get more involved.

We are having many more better quarters than last year.

[Dee-licious 1,954]

SEN top 5 - Sloane, Thomson, Harry, Jones, Howe (+ McD)

Bottom 5 - Dawes, Dunn, Walker, Jacobs, Danger

[Deestar3 167]

FFS get off bagging players .....save it till when the game finishes......they've had as many dropped marks, kicks out of bounds etc. They're having a red hot crack & I can see they are a vastly improved team....Second half may disappoint but they are becoming a better more competitive team who I like to watch !!

Wrote about this pre-season.

Will be something PR is still teaching,were simply not good enough on the switch{but improved}

[Demon Dynasty 17,109]

watts for henderson or yarran?

I would have taken Robinson just to crack skulls and the effort dee.

Not the smartest tool in the shed or the most skillfull footballer i've seen. But his scrapping/pressure/tackles and general take no prisoners approach can do amazing things to team mates playing around you. Some grow an extra leg with a few tough nutz around like that. Could have shared the duties on Danger a little today as well.

Cross Jones and Robinson would have be a real hard pack for anyone to deal with rotating through the middle.

[chook fowler 19,675]

SEN top 5 - Sloane, Thomson, Harry, Jones, Howe (+ McD)

Bottom 5 - Dawes, Dunn, Walker, Jacobs, Danger

A bit hard on Dunn - doing his job IMO

[John Crow Batty 8,879]

For all his stuff up Watts still manages the only goal assist of the quarter. How the Fluck do you turn this guy around?

[CityDee 738]

Elated feeling but dread as well . Defence and take our chances is all .

[Fork 'em 7,010]

Yarrans about to get 3-4 weeks for belting chapman.

[chook fowler 19,675]

Heart transplant

[leucopogon 1,519]

Its the "old" heads that continue to balls up our play today, I'm talking about Watts, Garland, Howe, even TMac is starting to revisit Clangersville and Jones hasn't set the ground alight either.

The exception is Jamar who is battling well in the ruck but offering nada round the ground

[Redleg 41,759]

For all his stuff up Watts still manages the only goal assist of the quarter. How the Fluck do you turn this guy around?

Agree. BTW he was still protecting himself not going for the ball in the contest, when it came to him and he gave it off.

I love Jack, but he is the softest player in the AFL and yet one of the most skilful.

Overall it's been a fantastic effort to date, haven't been able to put the score on the board when given the chance though. We really need to learn to do that to apply scoreboard pressure as well as physical pressure.

Let's see how they go second half.

[titan_uranus 25,058]

Anyone know what happened to Frost?

[The Song Formerly Known As 6,479]

here we go "our" (always theirs) premiership quarter.

[Demon Dynasty 17,109]

Premiership quarter. True test of where a team is really at IMO especially away

[The Song Formerly Known As 6,479]

Anyone know what happened to Frost?

foot.

[Seraph 1,824]

Anyone know what happened to Frost?

Did something to his foot.

[Jaded No More 68,974]

The bloody 3rd quarter.

I hate it.

[Dr. Gonzo 24,368]

Very poor by Jetta

[The Song Formerly Known As 6,479]
