Analysis Good, Bad and Not Much Ugly

[spenze]

Good win cause Brisbane are a very good side

 

[GROTTO]

You are a pretty good team now…

You owe us a beer, we knocked your filthy neighbours out of the 8 tonight.

Then again we owe you a few for Shuey and McGovern goals after the siren.

 

[pjcrows]

Not always the smoothest user of the ball, but the way Rory Laird throws himself at every single contest is the sort of thing you can't help but admire, especially from a player of his size. Another 15-16 tackles today.

Great win, hope you guys are there in September.

Benny boi, 28 disposals, 6 clearances, 11 score involvements, gut running on steroids...

It was all that smoke before the game. It may have been laced with something..,

 

[Jeffcrowe]

I just want to read from a few of the haters and Clam that Benny Keay played ok.

More than ok

 

[redandblack]

O'Brien was superb, towelled up McInerney.

 

[I Lost My Keays]

Can we please highlight how far we’ve come? If you told me we’d be in the 8 after our draw I wouldn’t believe it.

We’ve beaten Port, Carlton , Lions and we fought to the death against Pies & Cats.

 

[Simbatheking21]

Congrats guys and gals! Love how your rebuilding is turning out. So much exciting players for the future

All the best for the rest of the season

Good
Rachele - Poise and finishing
How bloody good is having Tex back. The man makes things happen
Pedlar - He is going to be a star
Keays, Dawson, and Laird may not have had pretty games, but they won the ball and got the job done
Murray and Butts both had the better of their opponents
Super sub Sloane - He must have been sub right?

Bad
1st quarter
Zorko
Umpring

Ugly
Doedee - Can't keep his feet and is the absolute last person I trust when rushing a behind or taking the ball out. He will inexplicably keep the ball in or knock it to the opponent. He has turned into a C grader at beat after a promising start to his career. Geelong won't want him at this rate.

******* told you so in the 2nd quarter we'd win. Carn the Crows!

 

[Eagleboy2011]

More than ok

Don't ask the haters for too much. Hès been good in most matches this year.

 

[Mutineer]

Guess we won't see too much of the Wabbit from the Northern Territory around these parts tonight.

 

[Geoffa32]

That was a great win.

Played with confidence all night.


Rankines best overall career game? We was everywhere up forward.

Pedlar was strong in key moments

Reckon I have figured keays out. Even when he is 90m from goal and kicks it to 40 out in the corridor, he was actually still having a shot at goal!

 

[MrBarry]

Milera looked like he was playing in dry conditions all night. Stood up with Smith out and Lions pressing early.

Milera was fantastic, glad he's putting it together now. Some people way to harsh on him.

Finish Top 4 and secure home finals and that is your path to the Grand Final.

 

[Southerntakeover]

Probably lucky, but take it after being on the wrong end so many times

 

[Multiballz]

O'Brien was superb, towelled up McInerney.

Yes, deserves some love.
Thought Murray was very good also.

 

[spenze]

O'Brien was superb, towelled up McInerney.

He did really well cause the big O was touching him up early but he was dominant after the 1st quarter

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Other than Murphy it was a big night for the whipping boys

Milera / Keays / ROB all huge and high on our best

Murray is bonafide star these days

Rankine is worth every cent and every draft pick and Rachele will be too , so glad they’ve bonded so tight

So good to have Worrell back

Throw Redman in that team and one more mid and we look pretty good

Thilthorpe could be best of the lot

And we are a proper football club now , properly respected and on the improve medium term

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Don't ask the haters for too much. Hès been good in most matches this year.

The best thing about him is he can play well against the beat opponents and best teams

There’s room for effort players when surrounded by rankine types

 

[spenze]

Worrell was really good as well, in dry conditions, having a 195 agile defender who reads the play and kicks like a mule will be a huge asset

 

[cleanhands]

Not taking anything away from him it was probably good conditions for him

 

[Bearded Clam]

Milera looked like he was playing in dry conditions all night. Stood up with Smith out and Lions pressing early.

Yeah..

gotta give it to Milera.. played great and some of his dance steps were vintage Milera.. the lions couldnt get their hands on him.

and also gotta say Jones was excellent too.. even though he was a bit quiet in the second half, he was brilliant and helped keep us in it in the first half.

Sloane again awesome in the last quarter.. and slow and pretty crap for the first 3 quarters!… they meed to make him sub and bring him in in the second half When the opposition tire and slow down.

 

[Pilchard_Adams]

Be great to keep Worrell in the side, move Hinge up to the wing and use Sloane as the Sub.
