GAMEDAY: Practice Match vs Richmond

[Demon Jack 6,741]

Feels so good to have full length quarters again.

[picket fence 16,697]

We still bomb,bomb,bomb into the forwardline indiscriminately!

[McQueen 17,864]

Baker amongst it. Looked comfortable. 

[Deestroy All 14,262]

I’ve seen enough. Is the granny back at the G this year?

Amen.

Jetta any issues on his hit on Tom Lynch? Lynch sooked it up big time. And Jetta played well that quarter.

[pitmaster 3,446]

Promising signs from TMac. Lever's disposal hopefully rusty. 

Forward pressure not good enough to stop their run out of defence. 

Although we lead they looked more threatening when they went forward.

Spargo promising.

Why are there Richmond ads on our stream?

Hope they're paying a premium.

Lynch is an expert, bit of a worry.

Tigers are very good at the subtle push in the back.

TMac pretty good, Baker had some moments

Reprimand I would think due to low impact and being in a contest (so not intentional). Lynch deserved it

It is hard not to dislike Lynch.

So I won't bother trying not to.

He [censored] me to tears.

Any idea why Riewoldt’s taken 2 marks on Jetta?

T Macs taken 3 contested marks.

Jones still knows how to kick a snag for our first.

Death, Taxes, Gravity, Jetta always on a much bigger opponent (leads to him being crunched and carrying injuries for the majoirty of the season).

Great to see TMac more mobile and his great hands.

still not great with our forward entries but good effort around the the field. Baker and James Jordan showing a bit.

Go Dees

[WERRIDEE 5,351]

Good quarter. Lever, Baker and Petracca playing well. Good to see Oliver playing

Surely any contact on that grub must be deemed as low

Hit on Tom Lynch? Are you talking about where Jetta brought him to ground late in the qtr? That was barely a free, Lynch sooked it up at the umps as usual. Nothing in it. Lynch is a weapons-grade *log

[JimmyGadson 3,455]

Can't see any significant signs of change regarding all ball use going forward.

Our pressure has been fantastic which is nothing new aside from our lapses during some games.

But all I want to see in these pre-season games is some genuine change in the way we move the ball.

Early thoughts:

1) It looks like Goody has finally figured out there is no need to rush in new players just because they look good at training - Jones and Jetta get games, while our third year men - Jordan, Sparrow, Chandler and Baker all get game time ahead of younger rivals.

2) Lever strong in air, Spargo vision, Trac brilliance, Baker and Langdon tackling.

3) It seems when Tiger bigs get free kick or mark in middle of ground we will sag off and ignore manning mark - thereby forcing their bigs to make right attacking decision.

just one quarter though

 

[FireInTheBennelly 4,060]

There were at least 2 instances in that quarter where we didn't man the mark. The first was just outside 50 and resulted in a shot on goal. Bit of a concern

[dee-tox 4,835]

Nice goal from Jordon, Lever good.  Spargo ok

Why is Jetta always against someone a foot taller?

Probably because we have a $700K a season CHB who won't play on a man.

[In Harmes Way 7,711]

The siren at Casey Fields sounds like Gus the steam shovel from Mr Squiggle.

[Forest Demon 4,681]

Spargo might not be able to roost it 60m, but his kicks are flat and get where they are going nice and quick.

[Bitter but optimistic 22,065]

The commentary is [censored] me!

[Deestroy All 14,262]

The classic 4 up in the marking contest. It’ll work this year you’ll see. 

[whatwhat say what 22,189]

gawn's kick from d50 straight into the 'hot spot' at the top of the 50 was laughably bad

tigers still look a mile better but at least are only a couple of points up
