Game Day Bevo, Bruce, Buku, Baker, Baz and the rest v Brad's Bomberos

[Foxman98]

Buss for Bruce
Lobb for Buku already lock it in

 

[Norm De Guerre]

Buku is doing Lobb's job but 10x better.

Loved his response to being pinged for pushing his opponent in the back

Wot the **** are you talking about?

You understand that the game only swung in Essendon's favour when Khamis went into the ruck late in the second.

Until that point the game was so bad that I would've been happy to have been murdered just to be put me of my misery.

 

[King Harold]

Who really thinks we will go right on with it after dominating that 1/4 ?

Recent history says no.

I hope this group decide this next half is now or never and leave nothing in the tank !

 

[The Inbetweener]

Buku Is a defender playing forward. Bruce Is a forward playing as a defender.

Strange to watch.

I think we can only thank Essendope for being rubbish....nothing to get excited about from my point of view. We'll get smashed, out in straight sets in finals...

Versatility mantra

Pity Buku can't just focus on his forward craft.And let Bruce ,Keith or Gardiner do ruck duties.

 

[Foxman98]

This is a lot like last week 2 fairly shit sides going nowhere fighting it out to lose week 1 of the finals

 

[Foxman98]

Seriously I said it yesterday but why pick Buku he's got no chance

 

[NthBondiDoggies]

Ok so have to admit - I was a fan of Bruce coming back in but he has been terrible. Needs google maps to work out where his opponent is!

That vision of him swapping the wrong player and leaving English in the wrong spot just shows how important system is. Essendon is a tiny backline but are getting multiple intercept marks. For us 1 or 2? Shocking. Essendon have one big bloke and we have three defenders over 197? And if Bruce is bad - where is Keath.

Gards has been average too but has impacted a few contests. Duryea also.

Dale and Richards have been good but best defensive effort (even though it was probably a free kick) was Poulter - if our bugs attacked the contest like that we would be much better.

Big kudos for Smith - copping a heap of shit but comes out without trying to be flash but honest hard work! Tackling and gut running - stick it up em Smith.

Also another example of why Macrae should be at centre bounces - not only is he good and adds something different we can play two good lines: Bont, Libba, Smith and Macrae, Trelor and Daniel can create a great one-two punch.

 

[dogwatch]

Baker, Treloar, one of you shepherd FFS!

 

[NBates]

Zimmerman a bit rough on Treloar's ear there, lol

 

[Foxman98]

Marra needs to stop always fending off straight away

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Two Metre Peter is having a fair stinker. We’re giving him a lot of space but he just keeps running under it

 

[TiAn_]

Haha don’t think I’ve ever seen Marra do a don’t argue that didn’t end in him getting done htb

 

[Mantis Toboggan]

JUH needs to stop thinking he can break tackles.

 

[Foxman98]

Haha don’t think I’ve ever seen Marra do a don’t argue that didn’t end in him getting done htb

Yet he keeps doing it

 

[Mofra]

Timmy English getting beaten right now

 

[Shadesof54]

There's no one in the fwd 50 , ever ffs

 

[TiAn_]

Yep - but Buks is a former Cat B rookie playing his first game for the year as an undersized forward/ruck.
Lobb is a 30 year old monster we gave up two second round picks for.

I'd argue the difference in expectation between the two is justified.

Sure, but the former is the reason we did the latter. Timely reminder, tonight.

 

[Foxman98]

Short was on and he bounces and kicks it long

 

[Shacf501]

why did English go sideways then....

 

[doggies ftw]

TBF to Marra he only does it when he doesn’t have other options, more than happy for him to keep that in his game because when he’s 25 and in peak condition no one will be able to tackle him

 

[NBates]

Libba, love, lol

 

[NBates]

What crap
