Post Match Discussion: JLT #2 vs St. Kilda

[Hellaintabadplacetobe 4,297]

Did we have 13 goalkickers? Bodes well 

[Meggs 598]

Good hit out.  It was hot out there.   Lever is a great acquisition.  Bugg and Stretch are not best 22 but depth at this point.  Dom is a better option. Love Jeffy and Fritsch looks v promising, like hiskicking skills.  Bring on the cats.

SEN treated that game like a "practice run" ... not sure why they bothered turning up other than to give their producers etc a run.

Listened for about 10 minutes and realised the comments on the AFL website provided better insight

It’s hard to listen to Terry Wallace for an entire game!

[DemonOX 8,837]

Goody said we r continuing to work on playing 4 quarters in regards to the 3rd quarter lapse. 

Hopefully it doesn’t regularly occur like last season. 

Time will tell.

I think when we drop off our intensity our fwd press defensive structure really doesn't work.

Wonder if its asking too much to have a game plan no. 2 where we have an extra stationed back in the def 50. Something the senior guys could coordinate.

Last year I thought Adelaide always had spare numbers in their back 50 which made it hard to penetrate.

Fritsch is going to be elite barring injury. 

Huge call.... Right call.

Nb: after a bottle of wine call but standing by it

What happened to OMac? Disappeared in the 2nd quarter? Didn't even see him floating around on the bench

[Winter Dan 472]

Liking Fritsch. Has class and time.

Reads the ball in flight really well.

[CHF 2,817]

What was the injury to Omac?

Have to say that Jones did not look to be into the game at all and looked, to my eyes to be a pace slower than all the rest of the team.

I think goody said he was in strong consideration for rd1.

Oliver needs to kick the ball more. I know he is in the guts pretty much 100% of the time, but he is too good an accumulator and kick to not exploit this more.

Stop listening to the external noise, and take a look at where he is getting his possessions.  If you do this, you will soon realise that he is using the appropriate method of getting rid of it under the circumstances.

Back spasms. Will be right.

[bing181 9,425]

We missed the 5 players who were out. Would take Harmes and ANB over the other fringe mids, needed a big marking forward in Tom Mac, and still need more leadership so having half your leadership group out isn’t ideal. 

[dieter 3,325]

For what it's worth, they outscored us in the last 3 quarters by a point.

Then again, When we were constant dead set losers, I used to revel in those kind of statistics, I.E we lost by 5 goals but we outscored them in the last half etc etc.

These guys look the real deal to me in that they pulled their finger out and won what in the past they would have lost.

Clarry is a star. Hope the umps realise it by now!!

What went wrong in the 3rd Quarter

SEN was not telling much

were players rested?

I listened to the last quarter on SEN and they weren’t even calling the play.

In the third quarter St Kilda owner the corridor while we went wide and their tall forwards took control.

The first quarter and a half we were dominant in just about every aspect.

So Gawn is all good? Don't have foxtel....

Big Max was good but a little out of touch with the high balls. Errr, sorry for the pun. Then, suddenly, as Gawny does, several great marks in succession. What it looks like is that any opponent can block, push, hold Gawn in a contest - that is just fine according to the umpires. They can even slap a marked ball out of his hands so that it does not have to be rewarded. That is fine, too, according to the umpires. This forces Gawn to approach the ball late, so that he is alone, and then he does his aerial magic for which the umpires are powerless to handicap/intercede/even-up the competition. We need a backup ruckman to help him by committing acts on the opposition that maim. 

[DeeZee 7,458]

I think it’s out Maynard, Wagner, Bugg and Pederson for Harmes ANB TMac and ether Viney or Lewis

[boydie 655]

So we played 24 players tonight, obviously we have to reduce that down to 22.

Think Frost and Wagner will be first out, then T Mac for Pedersen, Lewis for Maynard, then Harmes is probably in the side for one of Fristch/Bugg or Hannan. Going to assume that Viney will miss round 1 but it's a good problem to have!

[DaveyDee 421]

Good hit-out for both sides, really liking our depth really looking forward to our first 4-5 rounds we can set up our season.

So who says they learnt from last year?

 If this was a real match the team blew % building opportunity.  

Unhappy.  Talk is cheap guys.  No wonder we aren't ' trusted ' yet.

Thought Hannan played well tonight and kicked well to position. Keep him in, I'd reckon.

Long bombs again, readable, capable of interception and wide clearances, superior fwd talls running free. Loose full back line.

Agree with this. 

Bugg a vfl player, no skill 

Hannan, Trac, Brayshaw the positives. 

Stretch tried hard but not sure he’s in the best 22. 

Overall first qtr pressure was great, dropped off after qtr time, need to keep that going for longer.
