Umps not giving us much

That's an understatement.  17 frees to 10 their way.

[Demon Disciple 12,068]

The Lion's love appealing for frees don't they.

[Demonland 71,622]

Not 15 my butt ump.

Add to that some blatant frees not paid. 

[Wiseblood 24,637]

The only thing I don't like so far is our pressure in the forward line when he ball hits the deck.  They have run it out far too easily this term.  We need to be better with this.

[Demonland 71,622]

FMD. Fritsch off injured. 

[Demonland 71,622]

Jetta is a star. Incase you weren't aware. 

[Demonland 71,622]

Joel Smith limping?

[Alex Flood 245]

I wish every player on this team had the same attitude & effort as Neville Jetta.

[Lord Travis 10,697]

[censored] I love Jetta! Awesome mark!

Went through like a freight train!

As for Smith, got injured through his own stupidity. Decides to play and after marking and have his kick smothered when he should've gone back and given himself more distance over the mark.

[Clintosaurus 7,838]

Lewis has been good today.

[Jaded No More 68,867]

Said Fritsch off injured and said nothing else since. Useless commentators 

[Alex Flood 245]

I don’t know if you guys follow the NBA, but as Boston fan, Jetta reminds me so much of Marcus Smart.

tom mac terrible jetta just fantastic

[Demonland 71,622]

Again TMac and Weid spoil each other. 

[Demonland 71,622]

We can't stop them running out of defence.

That's what happens when you just bomb it in long. A bit more clarity from those delivering the ball would make it easier for our forwards.

[Demonland 71,622]

Can we just stop this game?

[Dee Zephyr 19,267]

An easy chest mark dropped by Spargo and puts us immediately under pressure the other way.

[praha 11,236]

This has been a great contest. But both sides need to put it away for the past quarter. Players are dropping like flies. It's a practice match ffs!

[Demon Disciple 12,068]

Fritsch back out running the boundary

To me, that's the only thing that I've been disappointed with.  I can handle the skills, fitness etc. at this time of the year.  But our pressure when the ball his the deck hasn't been great, and for the game style we have it needs to be better.  We bomb it in and if it isn't marked then we keep it in there and set up the wall.  Hasn't happened nearly enough today, although you would expect it to improve when the real stuff begins.

[Jaded No More 68,867]

Fritsch with a hip. Don’t think he will play again today. 

Our defence is all at sea. Can’t say I’m full of confidence at the moment. It is just a practice match I know, but between our horrible form and the injuries, I prefer it be over already.

Have to agree Wise. If that is indeed our gameplan, then keeping the ball in once it hits the deck has to be our biggest contingency plan should we not mark it.
