Agreed. I'm under no illusions that we've had a relatively easy month but you can only play who you play and we've done well and improved each week. This week (and the 2 after) is a big test for sure. The back half of the year will prove whether we are contenders or pretenders. We have the cattle do we have the mettle?
Shaun Smith is the guest on Open Mike. Tune in to watch the full episode on Fox Footy at 8.30pm on Tuesday night (22/5).
EDIT: Clashes with the Demonland Podcast so tape Open Mike and watch it later.
I don't think this was a tactic or a set play per se. I think it was just football smarts all round by some classy players. Sure the witches hat opposition probably assisted but I bet we'll see more of this stuff in years to come.
See OP.
The whole play was magnificent. From the Trac smother to the Nibbler pickup and handball to Spargo's dance and kick to space to Tracs run down the field to get in space and have the vision and presence of mind to tap it to Melk to Melk's snap and goal.
Anyone who thinks that's ho hum and run of the mill obviously hasn't seen the last decade that I've seen.
Censorship? Posts that say another poster is full of shit are usually deleted by mods if we see them. I happened to see this one and it was deleted. Usually it would be accompanied by a warning. I didn't in this instance.
How good was this goal assist? Not just the tap but the smother up the field and then his run down the field to get into open space. Honourable mention to the pick up by Nibbler who handballed to Spargo who shimmied and kicked to Petracca in space. Great team play.
I know it's a Tuesday but the Podcast will be LIVE tonight @ 8:30pm featuring @Grapeviney, @Supermercado and me.
