Game Thread v Adelaide !!

[bigred]

That was pretty ordinary.

The free against Saad just does your head in. Saad, Beau & Terry just cough it up far too easily.

Saad is the only one of the three with any second effort in him.

Not happy.

[sunsaint]

with this high pressure game plan its going to come down to fitness, can we continue to hold them, & get the turnover goal
forward movement just doesnt work Smalls dotn have any tricks to their bag- not good in the air, and Milera is scared at the contest, Saad doesnt have a "Contest possession" bone in his body. Milne is playing way up the field...Roo is working hard but no reward, maister is standing underneath the high bombs with no chance.
Fitness will keep us in it, otherwise if the crows get wide we will get blown away

[paddy]

Gwilt in Vintage form....

love it

[St. Luke]

Saad and Milera have been a little unlucky. Personally I think they'll redeem themselves

[Jacks Back]

Saad and Milera are always threatening to rip teams apart.

I hope it happens.

What laughing

They are actually s***

[Cairnsman]

Maister is a fill in until SW finds a permanent replacement IMO. Gives Kosi a chance to come back in.

[Uncle Barrels]

Stanley has been smashed in the backline. Just not going direct. Too much slow movement and then when we go direct they have already flooded back.

I'd rather see Simpkin in on today's performance. He might be a lot smaller but at least he's a natural backman, and lets face it, Rhys is getting rag-dolled by the gorillas anyway.

[Little Dozer]

Saad makes far too many mistakes. Siposs should be on the ground, has way more ability than Maister. Stanley looks lost as a defender and might be wasted. Would like to see Siposs on for Maister and be a lead up forward. Swing Stanley forward if continues to struggle.

If you didn't know the score you would think we were 10 goals down. Still a big chance. Armo and Steven need to lift.

[BringBackMadDog]

7 centre clearances to 1 wow, midfield needs to work harder

[mad saint guy]

Shocking half of footy. We're lucky Adelaide haven't put us away.

Milera is costing us time and time again with his poor efforts with and without the ball. Unfortunately he won't be subbed off as we'll need to get rid of Beau or Hickey for the last quarter.

Ross, Roberton and Newnes are playing well though and Webster has been ok. Really need to get Steven and Arno in the game.

[8856brother]

By the way, do we fumble more than any other side?

[whiskers3614]

Send Milera back to Academy for a few contesting lessons from Hamill
If he improves heaps give him 2 or 3
games to try it under match conditions
if not goodbye!

[Devilhead]

Freaking shocking half of football

Our small forwards have been shocking

Mileras OUT - Saad OUT - anyone IN

Cmon Scotty show some balls and make some moves - cbange it up - Get Sipposs on and stretch them for height (and a bit of class) in the forward line

[bergsone]

By the way, do we fumble more than any other side?

Seems like our forwards do

[whiskers3614]

Montagna forward try Milera and Saad midfield in 5 minute bursts,
Can't do any worse.

Says you.

[joffaboy]

Considering we played fairly ordinarily and are only 9 points down is a positive.

The endevour is there, however our forward execution is just a bit off. Getting it just not finishing it off.

Roberton continues to be find of the season
Newnes is having a break out game. Hopefully he continues on in the 2nd.
Jimmy Gwilt playing well
Roo trying hard and always gives an option.
Jack down on last week but still our best mid.

Armo, Dal and Joey need to lift at the clearances, otherwise we are looking at a 6-8 goal defeat.

Maister is underdone. If Ruttwen is going to stay on him the whole game, move him back, and Stanley forward .

Need to hit targets and convert our chances.

[Kate]

Not on our "A" game. I take that as a positive. Plenty of room for improvement. Get things flowing and the game is up for grabs.

[St. Luke]

To be honest, we've kept the pressure on the Crows and we're nowhere near out of the game. Our defense has been reasonable. Have a bit of faith FFS!

[Teflon]

I thought Siposs looked a natural forward last week tbh.......puzzled he's not on....get him in..

Midfield sounds like it really needs to lift.

[Sainternist]

Siposs could prove to be a pretty handy sub in this second half.

[Cairnsman]

We need to go back to last weeks game and give Dal a tagging job and hopefully bring Armo and Steven into the game. Then Dal should try and get a few himself.

[Spinner]

Midfield absolutely nowhere...

Bar Montagna.
