Haven't read any of this thread so if already said I missed it.

It'll probably been an unpopular opinion/observation, but does anyone else think Bennell plays like he doesn't want contact? He had a couple of chances to go hard but pulled back. Also when tackling he just sticks his arms out rather than fully commit with body and they run right through him.

Yes I'm sure I'll get given a list of names who have their own moments of poor play. I've just been particularly focussed on Bennell this game.

Yep. He is not going in hard. No idea if that’s a trait or just a fear of getting injured due to history. 
But really he isn’t there for his tackling. He is there for his ball use. He will force opposition errors because he’s fast and a scary proposition.

Our defensive zone is holding up really well. The two late goals they got in the second were disappointing though, both caused by too many defenders at the contest (May spoiling Lever the first time).

We're obviously trying harder with the shorter kicks and slower play but it's not quite there yet, and still too many inside 50s which aren't going to our advantage.

Don't know what game you're watching but they've both been excellent so far.

[Demonland 71,310]

Most of our goals from turnovers.

Interesting one Wellsy, I thnk he is always about 1-2m too forward to mark it... unless it's zinging in at chin height.

Running under the ball has been a Weid trait for years. Why it has not been coached out of him I don't know

[Deeko2 808]

Interesting that Milkshake and Brayshaw were around the ball that quarter, obviously trying to get them more involved. 

At quarter time I was calling for Brayshaws head but the first two clearances and an intercept mark that quarter puts him in the good books. He’s still a jekkly and hide for me.

Ive always been a AVB fan but not sure what he’s bringing right now. Couple uncontested turnovers aren’t helping him. Hoping for a big second half 

[Wiseblood 24,637]

It's pretty clear Garry and Browny want GC to win really, really badly.

Assuming that's the one percenter end pressure act?

[WA Demon Boy 966]

Viney's kicking...honestly  

[Watts the matter 1,235]

Rubbish defensive effort from Weideman.

[praha 11,232]

Presence. That is why Weiderman is playing.

[Wiseblood 24,637]

Great contest from Weid... which made up for the [censored] poor tackle attempt thirty seconds earlier.

[WA Demon Boy 966]

Melk heard what we were saying on here! 

[chook fowler 19,444]

My man Melksham- never doubted him!

Followed up by a good marking contest

[Demon Dynasty 17,109]

Great contest Weid.  Viney front and square.  Winning footy

[Jaded No More 68,867]

Someone lowered their [censored] eyes inside 50

I don't think Garry actually does.

[DubDee 25,590]

Viney has his Weetbix at halftime

[Demon Disciple 12,064]

At least Jake's come out after halftime

[Wiseblood 24,637]

Already Hannan and Melksham have made an early impact which is good to see.  

[loges 6,767]

Better Melksham

gary simply can't commentate our games

 

he barracks for us and sighs when we make errors 

[Demonland 71,310]

Viney should have been pinged then.
