2nds AFC 2021 SANFL Thread - We're baaaaaaaack (in the SANFL)

[CrowinNT]

Interested to hear how Doedee is going

 

[CrowBox89]

sounds like pedlar and hately getting a few touches but hopefully can tidy up there disposal

 

[StonesThrow]

I'd be keen to know if Himmelberg starts one-grabbing marks. Last week he juggled everything allowing most of them to be spoiled.
If he wants to play AFL he needs to clunk them.

Thought he was pretty good last week. Hands were mostly okay. Sounds like he's doing well again?

Lucky goal by Berg! Boyle goes for it from 50, bounces backwards right on the goal line into the waiting arms of Berg by the line and he goals. Norwood players all ran past trying to touch on the line.

 

[ams4crows]

At least himmers seems to be in amongst the action

 

[MRB37]

I'm really liking Worrell, so aggressive. Just turned it over from immediately playing on after a mark while everyone else stopped so he had no one to give the handball off to.

Strachan is a class above in the ruck. Palming very well.

Looking fine. Moving well, taking a few intercept marks and nailing his passes by foot.

 

[MRB37]

Norwood snap a goal from a pack and it's 38-32.

 

[1990crow]

This is shit we can't watch

 

[Tarasque36]

jag is there too! You have some help MRB! Mego Red might get there today haha

 

[MRB37]

Umps doing a bit of home team cheating inside Norwood's 50. Ignore a clear HTB call for Pedlar then watch Norwood hand ball it out and dont call it.

Norwood then goal and it's 38-39.

 

[Tarasque36]

This is sh*t we can't watch

Yeah, what is this, the 1990s all over again? (hehe, pun intended)

 

[Mego Red]

I'm here! Grigg just kicked a goal, Norwood by a point. Worrell throwing some aggro around. Umps middling quality. Doedee a couple of good things in the last few mins

 

[MRB37]

I'm starting to wonder if McAsey needs glasses cause he has absolutely whiffed on a few spoils this quarter.

 

[Mego Red]

Half time.

Norwood by a point.

 

[ams4crows]

How are Norwood getting their goals, from Marks inside 50 from stoppages inside 50, free kicks, or streaming through the midfield unmanned?

 

[Mego Red]

There'd be a couple of hundred here, easily. They've even fired up the pie warmer.

Ball scrubs forward, ends up in someone's hands who manufactures a kick.

Mostly just lots of people around the ball.

I'm starting to wonder if McAsey needs glasses cause he has absolutely whiffed on a few spoils this quarter.

His aerial judgement was supposedly one of his draft strengths. Wonder if he is occupied with positioning/body work with opponent, rather than going at the ball? How has Borlase looked? Over taking him on the pecking order? Butts did OK on Dixon last week, need to see more of Murray, but key backs are battling for spots.

I remember early career Hartigan going for marks/spoils and the ball hitting him in the face. Happened on a few occasions.

Need to get used to the SANFL umpiring again, with the 70:30 split against us. One particular umpire seems to be on a two second delay.
Feel that we are getting beaten on the outside with the run and carry.
Gollant has made a number of flies and has got his hand to them but they have not stuck. Some fumbling from our listed players - Hately, Newchurch for example.
Connected issue - James Matthews - how close is he to back?

Have we been informed we don't belong in their competition yet?

Borlase has good size and strength, so he's not getting pushed around, but still needs to be a bit cleaner taking marks. Definitely has some tools to work with though
