GWS 10.3 63 from 17 entries ....unbelievable stuff

GWS 5.2.32 from 10 inside 50s at half time. Hard to believe really ..... But that is how games of football are won.

x 2. Nailed it!

I used to get offended when commentators called us an irrelevant team. But that is exactly what we are. I can't ever remember an opposition laughing and smiling as much as i saw today. They simply don't rate us and nor should they. We are a laughing stock!

Think I heard they'll be based in Manly. If true, about as good as it gets in Sydney.

We are in violent agreement with all points Martian. Channel 7 commentary probably has a fair bit to do with the overall decline in the enjoyment of the viewing the game. It's painful and cringe worthy to listen to at times. Admittedly the NRL has the advantage of at least some crowd in attendance which enhances the atmosphere, but it's more the quality of the game that has gone forward as quick as our game has gone backwards. And guess what, they have made some rule changes that have had an instant impact on the speed of the game. Wake up AFL !!

First thing they need to do which is not even a rule change is stop the ruck nomination and just toss the ball up as soon as the umpteenth gets his hands on the ball. Will have a huge effect on crowded stoppages and open the game up.

I hope the AFL sit down and watch last nights Storm v Roosters match. Their product is light years ahead of us and far more enjoyable to watch. They are 2 of the best defending teams for a decade and yet it was fast, attacking, entertaining and high scoring. I'm a footy tragic in my 50s but my interest is at an all time low. The spectacle is putrid right now.

I'd take it with a grain of salt Bobby, he also said Geelong weren't that good after they gave the Hawks a hiding at the cattery just a few weeks ago.

Astbury is a big out for The Tiges. Their backline is now light on for talls, and Grimes won't be anywhere near as effective with his mate out. Great time for The Weed to return.

Not even sure it would be as high as 105. Most of those games are probably Kolo! We are struggling with every best 22 player available, not a good look!

He's still being played out of position. Prior to Langdon and Tomlinson recruitment, he was our most natural winger. We've never tried him there as far as I can remember.

Yep, it's a season like no other and will not surprise me if it happens such is the severity of Victoria's infection spike. Gives us another opportunity to blame the footy gods when we play Richmond back into form lol.

Among all the pessimism (rightly so) I just wanted to acknowledge Hibberd's attack on the footy to start the 4th qtr that took Dangerfield out. Highlight of the match for me.

We are averaging just under 50 points per game. Each game in perfect conditions. It's going to be a long shortened season!

Waited 2 weeks for that FFS. What a horrible spectacle. Should've won in the end though, just not good enough.

Clarry

I think had we not played the intra club game then absolutely it would have been, but we played that game after being told there would be no midweek game according to a report I just read. Gerard Whateley is dumbfounded that it won't happen.

Sam Edmund reporting our match will not happen tomorrow night, will be later in the year

I agree, but seeing we played a full intra club game 2 days ago, will we be reluctant to play?

Confirmed James Stewart will be quarantined

Gerard Whateley just revealed on SEN only 1 player will be quarantined. Unsure if that is additional to Mckenna or not. Let us play them tomorrow night !

Both matches are at Metricon . They need to give all facilities a thorough clean before the next 2 teams enter the ground.

Red, I can honestly only think of 1 instance in Goodwin's tenure where he made an effective change when a team had a run on, and that was Omac off/ Frost on to Hawkins at 3/4 time at the cattery , 2 years ago from memory. Problem was it was too late and we still lost the game. I'd be interested to know if anyone can recollect any other change mid match that had an impact! The lack of mid match positional changes has cost us many games.

I'd be swapping Jetta and Harmes roles. Ideally though Salem takes Harmes gig, who goes to midfield where he belongs .
