Gameday has arrived!!

[sydney_crow]

Unbelievable! What a boost that is to the morale and way to kick off the season. You just couldn't see us finding a way to come back the way we looked in the 2nd quarter but the boys worked themselves into the ground to make it happen.

Some of the biggest positives from the game were Tambling (so attacking), Smith (so composed), McKernan (really looked the part - must own a position all season), Vince looked like the player of old, just to name a few.

Obviously the Porplyzia injury is a sour note for the team and so disappointing for him looking to resurrect his career this year. We must give him plenty of time in rehab to give him the best possible chance to recover otherwise his career will be under a question mark.

Hope we can maintain that intensity for 2011!

YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY.


Footys back and what a game!!

also doubt u can drop stevens. slow start, finsihed strong.

 

[Crow-mo]

Stevens would be in the votes this week, he's not going anywhere

 

[tinman]

Listened to the call on 5AA over the internet, really proud of the boys and can't remember the last time we came from 30 points down for a win.

Really pleased for McKernan, Bling and Smith. Great Andy Otten got through ok and Knighta will be heaps better for the run.

Fingers crossed Porps isn't out for long.

Awesome stuff guys.

Would be terribly unlucky if he did get dropped.

 

[FR0GGY]

Jaensch in for porps?

 

[Vader]

Now the question for selectors is: Who comes out for Tippett?
I thought all our bigs were great. Stevens, Davis, Walker, Smack and Maric all did well.

Probably Porplyzia. Sounds like he'll be missing for a while anyway if it's a broke collar bone like the ABC commentators were suggesting.

McKernan stays, as the 2nd ruck (rather than having a forward role). The others all retain their current positions.

all good stuff...but maintaining that first half effort against a fit strong team wont cut it...

Opening the other eye...he does the team things very well, that was evident time and time again with his willingness to assist Davis with Franklin. But the brain fades are hard to ignore, and he had a fist full of them before an excellent final term.

 

[Glenno23]

Jaensch in for porps?

Would make most sense

How did he play today? Did he play today? hard to keep up with the magoos in WA

 

[Vader]

Jaensch in for porps?

Tippett in for Porps. We already have Henderson, Knights and Dangermouse who are all capable of playing a similar role to Porps anyway.

Christ, you guys are harsh on Stevens. Maybe, as supporters, all you see is the mistakes. But, to an outside observer, the bloke popping up all over the ground taking pressure marks on tough opponents. He's not the best user of the ball, but I can barely recall a game where he goes missing

 

[SugarShane]

Anyone know the deal with Henderson's Time Out sign? Andy Maher said it was a campaign or something from a show on "another network", anyone know?

 

[VSTone]

you'd imagine...tippet in for porps...

no need to make a knee jerk selection... we don't go there!

 

[PCORF]

This maybe one of the best wins in a long time ..... keep this up all season and we'll be top 4.

i heard maybe it was from the today show. not 100% sure on that tho.

henderson on "T"arget...nothing to do with timeout i reckon

Even his mum would admit his first 1 1/2 quarters were dreadful - when he wasn't turning it over, he was trying his hardest to hospitalise teammates - but he genuinely lifted after that. His ability to cover as a genuine tall defender when Davis was tryong to remember that he wasn't Kenny McGregor was very important in the end.

One thing about Stevens is that his head doesn't drop after he screws up.

sandilands.... will win the brownlow by a mile

T for Tippett back round 3

It's a sign the Today show are getting footy players to do after a goal (or Try in rubgy)

Fair call, but as supporters we see the mistakes every week. As I said, he does the team things very well, I'd just rather see someone do the team things with a bit more general composure.

 

[earlsta]

How good was Dangerfields 2nd goal when he got hit in the head? Got straight up and slotted it from 50?

Amazing
Reminded me of this

Try telling Cro-mo that

Very, very true
