Re: Match thread v Giants
Not there, but forecast is wet and windy with 50 km gusts. We get spoilt under the roof. Hope we can adjust.FQF wrote:What's the weather like over there?

Re: Match thread v Giants
Kicking atrocious. Is this the side I watched last week?

Re: Match thread v Giants
Eek, I hoped I was wrong about not having suitable height down back. This non selection puts more pressure on the midfield players to defend so unless we match their speed in defence its difficult. Kicking turnovers outside protected Etihad also might be an issue.
Midfield clearances and clear winners are needed to make an effective forward line.

Umpiring back to the usual bullshyte standard.
Do not meddle in the affairs of Dragons; for you are a quick and tasty morsel.

We need those wonderfulf words of wisdom from our coach to stun them into action. Not liking what I'm hearing from commentators about contested footy and kicking skills. Needs change.

Re: Match thread v Giants
Again some of the umpiring favouring the Giants. The holding the ball rules is too rubbery

Re: Match thread v Giants
We just butchered the ball way too often.
It is like the Dogs game again. No pressure Dons allowed us to use the ball well. The hard tackling GWS, as with the Dogs, is forcing us to use the ball poorly. Need to improve this aspect big time.

Re: Match thread v Giants
Somehow a guy whacking the ball straight over the line is not deliberate. Lots of poor decisions by umpires and Saints.

Not playing a full back is not helping Richo!
