Half time - 13 points down but we have finally come to play - expect us to run over them in the 2nd half - loving the fact that the Netherlands beat England in the cricket

Solar · Post: # 752364Post **Solar** » Sat 06 Jun 2009 4:26pm

thought gwilt was alrigt during that quarter....

disapointed with BJ in the second half of tha quarter. Could have lead hrd, worked in close and got some goals but tended to mark from behind. Back to basics son.

gram was better and worked hard, still turning it over. Raph clarke went onto edwards which suggests that we don't rate blake as a defender. Raph did alright, in fac the backline as a whole was better that quarter.

joey got a little more, dal is working hard but can't get space. Lenny was a warhorse but we need to start going via the corridor. Do seemed to be moe worried about losing then winning right now. Kanga's look a little out on their feet and have two nursing sore heads. Will they have the legs to run this game out.

The onlysaving grace for king was that there seemed no elbow but it was way off the ball.

need more run, more numbers at the ball and use it better. kosi and gwilt need to stand up down forward as roo is being beaten and pushed out wide

Can't remember, did Gamble from Geelong get cited for bumping X off the ball?

I thought it was a similar distance from the play.

Games like this show a team's resolve, we have answered all tests before us this year so let's hope we can keep it up.

Great to see Max back...

I think that was West and no he didn't.
But his was worse.
He actually deviated towards X and blocked/shepherded/took him out.

Haven't heard much if anything about CJ - what's happening with him?
Haven't heard too much from the captain either - I think he needs to lift in the second half.

How is Max going?

Who is going to stand up and win it for us in the second half?

Thanks guys, yes it was West now that it's mentioned.

we have been in a slump for awhile now and have been exposed, not too worried as yet, Ross will sort this one out, we need to be pushed to the limit, the Roos are doing that right now.

TriColourDisciple · Sat 06 Jun 2009 4:35pm

You can't be too hard on Max. First game back, You can't expect him to set the world on fire first game back.
North seem to have the full support of the umps and the commentaters at this stage. -Umps can't even bounce the ball straight!
We'll come back in the second half.

Zippy · Post: # 752377Post **Zippy** » Sat 06 Jun 2009 4:40pm

27 to 15 inside 50's our way.

I think our forward shortfall is in the crumbing. We'vebeen betterin the second quarter, but I still want my milneyback.

We should win, though.

Ghost Like · Post: # 752378Post **Ghost Like** » Sat 06 Jun 2009 4:41pm

I hope Power gets cited for charging King, at least King was running in the direction of the ball, who cares who came out second best.

Oh, does anyone need a plasma tv? This one comes with a stubby!

matrix · Post: # 752379Post **matrix** » Sat 06 Jun 2009 4:41pm

righto lets go boys
should be able to get a win here

Iceman234 · Post: # 752380Post **Iceman234** » Sat 06 Jun 2009 4:42pm

Bad luck for young Ben Warren if it's a broken jaw, good hard fair contest and the kid will be a gun

Schillaci · Post: # 752381Post **Schillaci** » Sat 06 Jun 2009 4:42pm

I'm quite comfortable in giving the Roos a 13 pt start at half time.
Go Saints

CJ is running hard. Not sure his stats on tackles and possessions but he seems to be around the contests.

Roo has be in the fwd line and up the ground. Trying hard but usually 3 one him if hes trying for a mark.

Max is doing alright. Not up to his best but def doing alright.

benoc · Post: # 752383Post **benoc** » Sat 06 Jun 2009 4:44pm

Noticed throughout the game we are not sticking our tackles like we usually do.

Schillaci · Post: # 752384Post **Schillaci** » Sat 06 Jun 2009 4:45pm

Roos only have 2 on the bench. Bury em Saints.

Banger2Plugger · Sat 06 Jun 2009 4:47pm

grind it out sainters!!!

Iceman234 · Post: # 752386Post **Iceman234** » Sat 06 Jun 2009 4:48pm

CJ has had 5, Wells has had 12 but had four in the first 2 minutes

benoc · Post: # 752387Post **benoc** » Sat 06 Jun 2009 4:50pm

4 on roo in the contest.
Could we start looking for secondary options, thats 3 free saints somewhere.
