Review Dees v the Blood-Stained Angels: the Good, Bad & Downright Fugly

[Tiger_4_Life]

Flags aren't won in June... I wouldn't be worried. You'll lay this flag up once the whips really crack.

 

[bloodpumpsRnB]

Sydney had it looking like a "Melbourne game" after quarter time. When we went forward their defence looked extremely comfortable. When they went inside we looked panicked. Contest they were also on top.

It will take a minute to find their rhythm again but I think it'll happen at some point.

 

[ImissFrosty]

it was fun while it lasted. How's Toumpas and Trengove tracking in the 2's?

 

[Jamurp]

Good: put the money I won betting on Freo on the Swans tonight.

 

[Scythe94]

My kingdom for a decent key position forward.

I'll deck anyone that says Taylor Walker

We've missed TMac 2 weeks in a row now. He's no world beater but he is a solid, oldschool type player who plays against the grain of our system. Something we desperately need right now as the system has been put on ice.

It goes beyond personnel. Yes he may have been handy but his form has been variable. It's the delivery and system killing us.

Yeah, as much as I love BBB as a person and detest old Tom in the same manner, at least Tom doesn't get bodied the way Brown does, and can actually go close to impacting a ball when it hits the deck.

 

[Crusty Demon]

56 last week and 61 this week. Dismal in attack. Who's our forwardline coach? Few sleepless nights before the Pies game. Becomes a massive game now. Like I said before this game, we are very gettable. Nowhere near the side from last year.

 

[Crusty Demon]

Unfortunately Gawn played one of the greatest games we've seen from a ruck and it will mostly go unnoticed. Pity a few blokes couldn't go with him. Trac been filthy for a number of weeks now.

 

[Scythe94]

Gawn 28 disposals (23 contested), nine marks (six contested), three goals, ten score involvements, five clearances, 30 hitouts.

Damn you campaigners for taking the shine his game. An absolute all-timer

Has to be the best ruck of all time?

 

[stEdy]

Can't believe we resigned Goody

 

[Scythe94]

I hope these flogs realise just how much of a campaigner they make me look like when they lose.

 

[djpaulydemon]

Ugly: Me going overseas for the last 2 games and watching at OS Pubs = us losing with similar starts.

I'll be back next week, so although we haven't been great for a month please direct all hate to me for the time being.

 

[Tulip]

Frustrating presser from Goody. Admired the contest and how it could have gone our way more than anything else. We played Sydney minus their best player. They’re a ripping side but they’re very beatable given their age and fitness, especially when they gave us the third quarter and we said ‘nah all good boys we’ll just give the ball back to a mccartin’

His inside midfield brigade is letting him down big time. Petracca and Sparrow particularly bad.

 

[netslave]

We should be winning more centre clearances with the personnel we have in there.
Sparrow wasn't great but he only had 60% game time.

 

[danster168]

How on earth do we have the best ruckman in the planet, and Oliver and petracca at his feet and lose clearance regularly?

 

[mrmonkey]

Didn't get a good look at the game but from what I saw our forward 50 entries was atrocious all night. They had way too many intercepts, badly needs work.

 

[danster168]

the sparrow handball was a game changer. But I personally didn't think he was that bad. The Salem turnover in the 2nd quarter turned the game and started the swans momentum.

Let's not talk about the Bowey and Langdon frees that decided/ended the game. Spewing

 

[RandB]

We've missed him irrespective but I agree our issues go beyond personnel.

 

[Piesnchess]

Yeah I don't think the 'lurking-likes' is anything too much to worry about. Most of the ribbing we've copped so far has been tame and in good spirit. Please don't let that be a jinx for a shitstorm when I go to bed tonight.

I for one,never come on an Opp Board and slag off their team, thats just not on, i prefer intelligent debate and views. FWIW, i think some of you guys are a bit harsh, make no mistake, the Swans are a very good side, well drilled, hungry and will cause mayhem this season, look what they did to the tigers, after five goals down too. To be frank, im quite surprised at how my young Magpies have fared, exceeded my expectations, we are re buiding with a host of kids, brand new Coach, new gameplan, i thought wed win bout 7 games for the season, re build yr, but already won six. We should have beaten the Cats, six goals up, then their oldies stepped in yet again. Eagles loss was woeful, but beating Freo in Perth by six goals was amazing, and beating the old enemy, Caaaarlton, was icing on the cake. Today is a concern, those damn Hawks are our bogey side, never easy against them, i think we can win though, by around 16 points, hopefully. I reckon the QB game, will be a absolute cracker, you guys will come out breathing fire, and we will be underdogs, thats how i like it. We have two excitement machines, both kids, Jack Ginnavin an Oliver Henry, Henry looks a gem up forward, throw in Nick Daicos, Murphy and McCreery, and the future looks pretty damn good for the Pies. QB will be a ripper of a game, close, tough, two goals either way will win it, IMHO, nothing like good ol traditional footy, bring it on, Cheers.

With all due respect, we don't care about the pies. We know that at our best we're a 60 point better team. The issue is we're 80 points off our best at the moment so I expect you guys to win. But I'm sure most dees fans are more focused on just getting back to our best than worrying about the opposition.

I think 60 pts is a bit of a stretch, you were at your best last QB game, Bucks last game, and i recall we won, but whatever, our win over the Dockers by six goals in Perth shows we are very competitive.
