Roast Boak winning the toss and kicking into the wind

[PAFCsince1870]

Terrible decision.

 

[BIG MATTY WHITE]

Wtf....

 

[Eddie Dingle]

That Trent Cotchin guy says hi.

 

[*PAF]

Weird.

 

[raman]

Thought that was weird too but no impact whatsoever on the result.

 

[Greasyrhys]

Was definitely strange to kick against it

 

[Forzaport]

It was to avoid the sun I reckon. Don't really have a problem with it. We had the wind in the last and couldn't buy a goal.

We were playing catch up rather than the other way around.

And?

The sun goes across the ground, a little to the flank but mainly across the ground, it was a strange decision.

Any junior coach will tell you if you win the toss.You kick with the wind because it could die down in the last half.

 

[TheFVK]

I love the shit posts that come out of the woodwork after losses.

 

[pafc88]

******ed.

 

[BornPort]

I'm not sure what people are talking about. The flags were blowing across the ground and it didn't look like it favoured any particular end.

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

For all the shit Cotchin got, anyone at the game would have no idea which way to pick. Coin tosses don't win/lose you games.

 

[*PAF]

And?

And we may have won if they were the ones that had to play catch up with tired legs in the last.

Pregame warm up they were slotting them from 50 post high without really kicking through the ball at the scoreboard end. It died off a little as the night went on but it was clearly the end to kick to.

The sun was clearly a hindrance in the 50m arc at the score board end in the first qtr but not for the rest of the game. I reckon at least one shot on goal missed because of the sun.

 

[_VXV]

The wind at the point was across and not really the problem. Guess we were planning on a southern, god mode trend to continue.
And the sun

I'm currently working on a Robbie Gray roast thread

It's disgusting. Some people get them selves so worked up and lose touch with reality, convinced we are untouchable, and then when we lose a game they blame the players, as if the players were of the same opinion they were.

 

[PJ Power]

Thought that was weird too but no impact whatsoever on the result.

Except that we kicked to the bloody Northern end in the last. Two goals in three last quarters to that end in 2015

u reckon ?

Here's one from left field. I'm not sure if it's against this board's policy to actually praise the opposition, but I'm gonna take a risk anyway. The Eagles came to town with a plan, which they executed perfectly. And when the heat was really on, a few of our blokes were found wanting. You can't have twice as many clangers as the opposition, and expect to walk away with the 4 points. The Eagles were cleaner with the ball, and therefore deserved the win.

I don't like reading weak excuses for losses - we're better than that. There's still 16 games to go, and I'm backing our boys to bounce back from tonight's disappointment, and give the Lions the shellacking they so richly deserve!!!!!

 

[Coobk001]

Lol what a terrible thread.

The wind went across the ground. Zero advantage to either end.
