In theory, we should have the fire-power to win, so worth a shot I guess.Sainternist wrote:yeah, this is really interesting. gotta tip your hat to lyon for having the courage to do this in a way.degruch wrote:Looks like a shoot-out...7 goals to the Dons not great.

If nothing came out of this game, the fact that Armo and Smith seemed to have stepped up would at least be a positive.

i think they may tighten up a lot more in the 2nd quarter to prevent a bigger deficit at half-time.kalsaint wrote:8 goals now Grrrrrkalsaint wrote:Goal to Roo but 7 goals to opposition in one quarter doesnt look good for our defensedegruch wrote:Looks like a shoot-out...7 goals to the Dons not great.

Their midfielders have been scoring - the downside of our mids playing a completely offensive game?Sainternist wrote:i think they may tighten up a lot more in the 2nd quarter to prevent a bigger deficit at half-time.kalsaint wrote:8 goals now Grrrrrkalsaint wrote:Goal to Roo but 7 goals to opposition in one quarter doesnt look good for our defensedegruch wrote:Looks like a shoot-out...7 goals to the Dons not great.

Getting smashed by th umpires atm. Need to settle a bit.
Intent is there, just need to stop em a bit. Armo putting hit body in. Keep going. Smith looks good.
Three goals got through that qtr as direct result of free kicks in the square.
Need to lift defensively a bit. Generally look ok though.

fair call. also, sounds as though gwilt didn't have a good start. he's been very important to our defense. hopefully he'll lift to help stem the tide.degruch wrote:Their midfielders have been scoring - the downside of our mids playing a completely offensive game?Sainternist wrote:i think they may tighten up a lot more in the 2nd quarter to prevent a bigger deficit at half-time.kalsaint wrote:8 goals now Grrrrrkalsaint wrote:Goal to Roo but 7 goals to opposition in one quarter doesnt look good for our defensedegruch wrote:Looks like a shoot-out...7 goals to the Dons not great.

Roo gets a soft free. We'll take it!
GOAL. just the start we needed.

Smith is being given a lot of praise by Commentaors on MMM. He set up the last goal by Roo.bigred wrote:Getting smashed by th umpires atm. Need to settle a bit.

Midfield clearances and clear winners are needed to make an effective forward line.
You need to protect the ball handler to increase posession efficiency

yEP my thought exactly. And again it happenssavatage wrote:Every time the commentators mention the ball being near the F50 for the Bombers it's a goal every fkn time. Is our defence out of sorts ??
