Review Good/Bad v Essendon, Round 21. TOP 2 = SEALED

[Jars458]

You really don't like being called on your bullshit, do you?

Did I know they were best mates?

It was pretty well documented after the game (i.e. long before you posted), so you can't have been paying much attention.

Perhaps I was coaching soccer and looking after my kids?

Thanks for all the well wishes, folks. The bloke turned himself in this morning. He's down visiting from Mt Gambier. Was involved in a few verbal barbs throughout the game with a bloke in an Essendon 18 Guernsey... just like me. Once he had enough liquid "courage", he came by and took a swing. Didn't take him long to realise that he had made a major mistake.

I'm not pressing charges. He clearly knows he really ****** up, so I'm not going to pursue it. I feel as though he's learnt his lesson.

EDIT: It's a criminal offence so the police are charging regardless, I'm just not adding to said charges.

Thanks again for all the well wishes guys, really means a lot. All the best for the upcoming finals guys, you're my bet to take it all.

That's about as good as we could have hoped for. It would help you move on as well not pressing further.

Utter dog act regardless of if he had words with someone, it does sound like he realised the extent of the stuff up though (which is rare with that kind of person). Hope your recovery goes as well as possible.

Keath spent some Tim on Daniher last night and Dixon the week before. Otten doesn't have the size for these match ups.

Otten won't be back unless we have injuries.

Not really sure Keath has the size for those match ups either...

Looking after the kids is all well and good but coaching soccer..... That is borderline criminal.

Keath is a big bloke. Can't really think of a forward that he isn't physically capable of matching.

 

[jenny61_99]

Huh? How is it back handed? If anything it's criticizing our defence.

It's been one of our "things" to have goals kicked on us in the closing seconds of each quarter. Have to say, it's quite refreshing to be the ones doing that to other teams!

Post of the day!

I kinda feel the same about Hooker's arsey outside 50 bomb cameo

Couldn't agree more. I was losing it watching the replay even, yelling 'when TF ever does this spud do that??' Sheesh! 3 of them I reckon.

 

[thebirdman 24]

Keath was very good I thought. If he keeps it up he can play ahead of Hartigan.

 

[hippyhippy]

I think you're making a mountain out of a molehill. It was just a bit of an exuberant celebration, having kicked his 3rd goal in quick succession. He & Atkins have apparently known each other since they were 12, and are best mates.

I actually thought the game was played in good spirits. I even saw Essendon's Kelly giving Sloane a hand up off the ground at one stage.

Be funny what was said between them given atkins kicked 1 later on.

 

[NikkiNoo]

We need 2 big blokes in defense Otto would be 4-5 " shorter than Keath and massively slower. Keath has a better kick than Otten and Hartigan.
If he keeps playing well. I recon he stays Hartigan/ Otten the backups to Keath until he has a mare.

I bet next week that we will see Keath matched up on Buddy for periods of the game. We are keen to keep him the last defender on the line, and Talia the one that goes on the lead up forward, but I think Keath has some nice attributes to go with Buddy as well as being a fellow left footer.

The ultimate test.

I'm sure if the greatest forward in the modern era kicks a couple on him the knives will be out!

 

[Truck25]

I thought it was a good win, responded when we needed.

I did notice Lever was given a shut down role which he struggled with. was left one out and was beaten most times. I wonder if this was a subtle play by the coaching staff, just letting him and his suitors know that he's been playing so well because of the structure that he fits into perfectly. If he plays out of his comfort zone its "buyer beware". If you don't have the right defense he isn't the man to fix it.

$500-600k 3 defender is about right. Reports of $800+ is way overs.

 

[NikkiNoo]

Not really sure Keath has the size for those match ups either...

Keath is 198 and 97kg. Talia is 197 and 99kg. So he's taller by 1cm, lighter by 2kg and faster than Talia.

Daniher is 200cm and 95kg and Dixon is also 200cm and 105kg.

 

[NikkiNoo]

In here, of course, but within the coaching ranks - the only ones who really matter, I think they would have a lot more knowledge

Which complete explains his reactions to kicking them. He knew they were flukey

You should press charges. Nothing excuses that. How many people have died from a coward punch?

Agree with Lance (unfortunate name given the circumstance). People need to be held to account.

 

[Rory Walkerfield]

Not sure where else.to put this. Is there anywhere online that I can watch the after game interviews with players? Can only watch matches through foxtel and they switched the game off once the siren went

Assume you could watch on the 7 plus app and switch your location to Adelaide?

I'm in Auckland but have a vpn. I will.give that a try...thanks!

 

[Iron]

They didn't even make the 4 minutes. It was more like 1 and then they all sat back down again.

Felt more like 20 seconds to be honest. Was a really awkward thing to watch.

I was really hoping we kicked a goal into their cheer squad while it was happening.

Pissed me off to hear Jab Watson still referred to as a Brownlow medalist by Darcy.

 

[Jack McKraken]

Hey folks, congrats on the win.

Don't want to put a dampener on things but this is VelvetSledge's partner. He's been coward punch / king hit tonight by a Crows fan just outside Southern Cross Station near platform 10. If anyone saw anything or knows anything then please PM me or just reply here. I'm taking him to the hospital now, he's very badly concussed. The guy was around 5'11", kind of round body shape, with brown hair and a Crows jumper with #9 on it. Thanks again all.

Sorry to hear that- hope Velvet is ok, and that someone has identified the f*#cker.

Edit- now caught up. Glad you are ok, mate. Shitty act, but good on the d1ck for turning himself in, probably unlikely to have ever been caught otherwise.

 

[Red Crow]

The Jobe Watson cheer was never supposed to go for four minutes. It was just supposed to be for the fourth minute of the fourth quarter. I agree though that it barely lasted 20 seconds and was fairly half hearted.

The crowd was also encouraged to cheer every touch of his throughout the whole game. That didn't happen at all.
