2nds Footscray vs Sandringham. Saturday, May 10th. 1pm.

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

White with a terrible turnover inside our 50 gives Greenwood the ball, who gives off an amazing handball to Honeychurch. Kicks the goal.

Same problem as the ones, we can't maintain a big lead and have no pace when chasing. Grant's forward pressure is token at best. Lin Jong needs to build his tank, can't sustain the effort.

Howard just missed the barn door and we fluked a goal after a big challenge by Wallis. Mitch has been good at this level.

 

[Wizard17]

Greenwood great hands to Honey who goals.

Finally actually seeing something in Redpath.

 

[NagoyaDog]

Redpath looking like he has some forward talent today

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

Redpath stands in front of Lee and grabs a fantastic mark from a Hrovat kick. Lee could not move him regardless of how hard he tried. Misses very poorly. Was an easy shot.

Sandringham 12.9.81

 

[wayniac]

Redpath clunks a good contested mark in front. Misses an easy conversion from 45 degrees.

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

Sandringham launch a long kick at goal but miss.

Talia given a bath by his direct opponent.

 

[Igloo]

Good win. 40 points, probably should have been more after that lapse in the last.

 

[wayniac]

122-82 at the siren to the Dogs.

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

Final siren goes and it's a 40 point win to Footscray, 122-82. A terrible last quarter but the three preceding it were very impressive. Bontempelli clearly BOG but faded a little. Well supported by Smith, Stevens, Wallis, Redpath, Cordy and Honeychurch. Talia the only truly bad game for mine.

For interest's sake, Sandringham's best: Dunell, Ong, Minchington, Murdoch.

Talia given a bath by his direct opponent.

Looks to have a shoulder problem , really struggled getting his arm above his head.

 

[Doggies_13]

Stevens just mentioned that a few guys were on limited rotations could have contributed to the fade out.

From what I saw of the players out there I think the limited rotations were Hrovat, Fuller and Grant.

 

[themightydoggies]

How many touches you think Bonts had guys? Thanks for the great coverage I am in the mines wa.

 

[Some Idiot]

Good to see the young guys and fringe players in good form.

Missed the stats but 25 easily I'd suggest. Perhaps 30.

 

[Snarls Barkley]

How many clearances do you think Wallis would have ended up with? Wouldn't be surprised if he got double figures. Was really impressive today.

Bontempelli. Wowsers had a fair game! Clearly BOG

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

What I love about Bont is that every disposal is something with substance. You watch some of the game's most damaging players and they have 30 disposals but 10-15 of them are cheap or ineffective; Bont just makes something happen whenever he gets the ball. Still has some areas to work on but his game today was fantastic.

You're being to nice KH, he was sh!tful today... He needs to find some mongrel and desperation IMO

Wallis had more than 10 clearances easily. He'll be important when Boyd hangs up the boots.

Brett Goodes must have headed to the MCG at half time as well...emergency I'm guessing

Really like the look of Bonts. Seemingly doesn't have any real weakness in his game which is rare.

Ever tried to play this game if you have shoulder problems ? I have and it can make it very hard to compete with any confidence.
Think we should cut I'm some slack.
