we beat them at their own game. terrific to watch.
bruce is a gun. its one thing to kick goals but he set up two and he tackles like a man possessed.

Bruce has been amazing. finally we hit some pay dirt.

It's amazing what happens when u play with intent. Great turn around. Ricoh must know just what buttons to push with his players. Taking the game on more and getting the reward. Bruce lifted and was huge as a target. Nic mat struggling a bit noe

Upset on the cards today? Feels like we are are a serious chance on our home turf.

Guy McKenna on ABC is saying that we swung it around after we made Savage our loose man I defence instead of Roberton. More connectivity and better defending: do you concur?

Great to see the boys fight there way back into the game. Wouldn't have happened last year. Umpiring stayed consistently bad. What do we have to do to get a holding the ball free? We may be a sneaky chance. Midfield much better that qtr.

Loving the fight in this team. In a year or two we will be a force to be reckoned with. Seems to be some real belief no matter what the scoreboard says.

Those frees to Nic Nat are just shitful

Savage makes some errors but we do look a better team when he is really driving from the back using his speed. It throws out there press

I think the whole team stepped up. But I agree do prefer Savage as the loose man because he has the extra pace to break lines and be attacking. I prefer Dylan in the more defensive role. I have been saying all season that Geary in the loose man role is terrible for the side due to his lack of pace and poor kicking. Much happier with Savage in that role.

spot on on all four counts - future looks bright.

Armo has 14 handballs, but only 2 kicks. That is a real worry, Eagles will exploit that. I'd be loathe to take him off, but I think we might give Acres at least a quarter, maybe midway through the 3rd.

Weller went into the middle too

#gosaintas · Sat 23 May 2015 4:05pm

Savage needs to kick more and handball less

I'm not understanding the ruck free kicks, if the ball sits above longer on the bounce he can't move, has no other option other than letting nicnat have a running jump and knee him in the head.

I think Roberton knows that this is his year to prove whether he is worthy of a spot in our 2017 finals team

That imp has no idea. His in over his head and should go back to whatever suburban park he came from. Rest high tackle call I've seen.

Devilhead · Post: # 1551004Post **Devilhead** » Sat 23 May 2015 4:20pm

What was that high free kick against McKenzie all about?????

That decision was frickin disgraceful

Great incept by McKenzie in the endthat led to the goal

But that decision .........

Scollop · Post: # 1551005Post **Scollop** » Sat 23 May 2015 4:23pm

Roberton kicks the ball 20m and the ump says... "no 15 play on - play on" ...umps very suss today

Acres = clearance specialist.

He won't get the chance today..sub has benn activated. Blake Acres on - Jimmy Webster off

dragit · Post: # 1551009Post **dragit** » Sat 23 May 2015 4:29pm

Why don't we get frees for highs like they do? Completely different rules apply to each team, bizarre & frustrating,

Had a shocker today.

Con Gorozidis · Sat 23 May 2015 4:30pm

Free 16-8.

Con Gorozidis · Sat 23 May 2015 4:31pm

So Armo tackles that guy - he holds it. Then he spills it out to our advantage so ump calls ball up.

Con Gorozidis · Sat 23 May 2015 4:32pm

Eli F***. When you only get 6 touches in a half you need to make them count.
