Game Day 2024 Round 18 Sydney v. North Melbourne 13th July @ SCG 1:45 PM

[Wolfgang West]

Was a bit soft

Has a great strong rig on him. At least get the bloke off balance.

 

[KingV23]

Good 2nd QTR. Too bad about accuracy, but glad to see us up and about for the first time in a couple of weeks.

 

[caesar88]

Not good enough.

I didn't need evidence that we can kick big scores and quickly. I needed evidence we can go into a game and look like we actually give a shit. Didn't see that, so meh. Will enjoy this but tells us nothing.

 

[Punts]

Reid fir amartey

 

[GoTheSwannies]

Where did that 70 points come from?

 

[kneecapper]

Great quarter, accuracy will come but this is how you play yourself back into form.

 

[ashep]

We're actually quite a good football team!

 

[Wolfgang West]

Someone needs to run past McCartin for a handball every time he gets the ball...

Agreed. His kicking is sound but his inability to deliver with purpose & decision making is high risk for the amount of ball he sees.

Bizarre take on things.. what does the team actually giving a shit look like to you?

 

[Mister B]

Only 63% TOG so far. Probably to be subbed at 3/4 time. All on the wing

That’s the plan. No hiccups and it will be late in the 3rd. I have a sauce

I think you have to respect North a bit more, their defence the last few weeks has been top 4. I was expecting it'd be an even contest early on but our class and pressure to get on top.

 

[GoTheSwannies]

Has Amartey been to too many parties?..

Been on a bender since he kicked 9.

I hear he no longer responds to Joel, and demands people refer to him as "the party".

 

[Wheresbuddy]

Well I'm feeling alot better after that quarter. We got on top in the middle and then entered F50 at will.
Grundy, Chad, Rowie, Logan and Papley our best. McLean and Campbell playing well. Adams good at the coalface and didn't have to kick it so looked way better that quarter.
Not sure what's happened to Roberts but is playing poorly and has no confidence. He's not alone in defence with Lizard and Tommy poor. Thank goodness we're dominating at the contest.............

 

[Jack2Jack]

Much better qtr, although if Larkey kicked those goals early might've been different. Some of our defenders are making horrible basic skill errors.
Our goal kicking pretty bad...McLean & Amartey miss too many close rage goals, but barring that our front half has been excellent, Paps, Chad & McDonald particular....Midfield got going and protected our shaky defence.
Now keep it up for the third, no apathetic start to the 3rd to make this harder than it needs to be please.

 

[Millky95]

Really wish we could kick a bit straighter. 7.6 could have been 10.3. Could easily be 14.6 for the game and nearly have 100 in a half again

The big scores and scoring quickly comes from intensity and pressure which is what happened there. I am the harshest judge believe me but it was clear there they give a shit. Mills coming off then just said it will come. They know what they need to do just have to execute it. Kicking accurately would also help.

 

[wolftone57]

That was a better quarter. But we must maintain this sort of pressure. We are putting lots of pressure on now. North do not like That as they would rather play pretty, keepings off footy. We are still turning the ball over too easily. Against a good side we would get badly punished.

What is wrong with Gulden, Blakey, Roberts, Campbell, Grundy ( in the first not second gave the ball up 7 times, abate some were difficult), Amartey, Adams? They look like they have brain fades, far too many & Gulden is kicking at 40%. His normal is 78%

Keep this up for an absolute blowout.

Better accuracy and the game would already be over.

We have a habit of conceding too many when we're in front. So long as we keep the at 40+ I'll be happy

 

[Mister B]

Honestly, game should be over. Couldn’t really fault that quarter with the exception of goal kicking. Less ****ing around and more first option. Worked a treat.

 

[Wheresbuddy]

One pleasing aspect to today is we're not allowing Norf to chip it around and keep possession.

 

[Bonz]

This is a mature game from logan

His taken the last two misses personally

Also think his playing free without the contract pressure.

I’ll take bad first quarters over bad last 1/4s any day (and Q2s & Q3s… but was actually a rare lead going into second anyway?!

Mate you sound like you're fun around the party.

I agree. We are
taking advantage of good play by us and bad play by them, but
we are not controlling the game with authority.

Poor kicking is contributing to lack of authority.

 

[RedBloodBlackSwan]

Swans really need everyone to fire to be dangerous. Our super power is that teams cannot lock all of our players down. Our challenge the past few weeks is that teams could lock down some key players but there weren’t enough other players ‘on’ to still hurt them.

I’ve been enjoying seeing Jordon, Papley and Logan stepping up today. The fun part about our team is that depending on who breaks out, the game has a different dynamic.
