Time for Dal to Lift
Im a bit harsh but Nick Dal Santo has to lift his workrate from last weeks game. I know he was carrying a injury but he didn't put his body on the line .

Watched the 2nd half again last night..........was surprised,but Dal was actually pretty good.......defensively.JABBER wrote:Im a bit harsh but Nick Dal Santo has to lift his workrate from last weeks game. I know he was carrying a injury but he didn't put his body on the line .
All he needs to do IMO is get his offensive game going......hope he does, cause it will go a long way towards getting us over the line.

Dal is a quality individual and I'd be very surprised if he doesn't respond in a positive way; a way that will greatly assist our team to claim the big prize.

Dal wasn't at his 30 possession best - but that's understandable given his not 100% and he's having to kick on his non preferred side.Beej wrote:Collingwood don't apply hard tags so if Dal's not in the game it's because he's not working hard enough.
According to Ross he's a very proud player, I suspect we'll see just how proud on Saturday.
I reckon Gram, Eddy, Peake were well down .. and seeing how Gram sprinted unhampered at the end of the game, I hope to see a lot more run from him and close to 30 possessions this time.

When watching the 2nd half again yesterday Dal was noticeably poor in the 3rd quarter but was very good in the last.
When Lenny laid THAT tackle on Swan in the 3rd, Swan had simply waltzed around Dal with little effort to pressure him let alone lay a tackle. It was really poor but a few of his efforts were really good.
I'm just predicting huge games from Dal & Roo. Roo would have been massively disappointed with his game (even though it was still pretty good) and will tear Brown a new ar5e tomorrow). We just need the midfield to kick the ball to his bloody advantage & the skipper will lead us to the promised land.
PERSIST: DREAMS DO COME TRUE!

I've been loathe to mention it all week...and its hard because his game was still pretty OK....Roo would have been massively disappointed with his game (even though it was still pretty good)
I, we, HE are expecting a better performance.

Improvement from others is required - we can't just leave it up to him and just watch Shaw, Thomas and Maxwell run clear with the ball once more.
No passengers and a team effort this time.

Agreed - he a has a good record against Collingwood.ThePunter wrote:Dal's record in finals against Collingwood, and generally more recently (when not dinged up) has been more than reasonable.
Expect a big performance from Dal.
I'm also expecting a big improvment from Gram.

Like we all know he can.

Here I was thinking that all our blokes played above themselves, and couldn't possibly repeat those efforts. And all the Collingwood blokes put in quiet games and this week they'll all redeem themselves. Etc etc.
You people have made me see the light!
We're still a chance

If we can get it down inside our 50 one out he will take advantage. The ledger was 62 to 35 inside 50's, if we can increase that to 50 Roo will have 4 or 5 more chances at it and will dominate. As you say it all depends on Lenny, Joe, Dal & co to make it happen for Roo.bigred wrote:Roo did have a good game.samoht wrote:I thought Roo did well .. he could have kicked 5 goals.Animal Enclosure wrote:When watching the 2nd half again yesterday Dal was noticeably poor in the 3rd quarter but was very good in the last.

i agree - we need to rebalance the ledger to 50 inside 50's each.
So no passengers - and locking down their half back line this time as well as their midfield once more is essential to our win.
Roo will be the benificiary of a mighty team effort... but he only really needs to do what he did last week - it'll be good if he was to kick more goals than points this time.
