Review JLT #3 - Geelong d Essendon by 22 points

[dangerwood]

This is getting repetitive, the chasing tail, low intensity then bang string it together for a half or qtr.

I know its all just pre season but very familiar pattern and it's a pattern that sees us get torn apart in the odd game.

 

[dazbroncos]

It's a bit like the Richmond game from last year. Should never have been in the position in the first place.

no disagreement there.

Did he make the Essendon players have a year off?

Wait what?

 

[Catdog]

1 mark from Blitz in 3/4, we may need to rethink his running patterns!

 

[Catman]

Our third quarters have improved.

Haha crazy how everything now feels rightin the world.
Still a glaring problem of ball movement and inconsistency but at least the day is not a train wreck.
Please take heed of what worked in the 3rd qtr cats

 

[Cronin]

I hope the 3rd is an example of what we can expect this year, not the half-hearted crap they dished up in the first half.

Who's knows mate, the inconsistency of this team is unbelievable.

Once again though it took a mountain of a performance by the two stars to get back into it; need others to start dominating quarters when these two are down.

If Cowan and Murdoch get games this year, we're in trouble.

 

[Larry Donohue]

OK we have a quarter in us

 

[TheWoodenSlug]

Great comeback, but concerning that it required Dangerfield and Selwood going into beast mode, once again.

 

[Catsace]

Cowan heard footsteps

Ugly drop, those marks just need to be taken, no questions asked. Lucky that it didn't prove costly. But a borderline player needs to make those to keep in the side.

 

[dazbroncos]

Thought that was a no-no.

What?

Duncan has been good, which is promising. Parfit is a player.

Black not playing today is them telegraphing Taylor will play forward against Freo.

Kolodashnij won't be fit, if they were going to play Gardner he would have played the pre season games and he hasn't, and we have played 3 key defenders for the last 10 years.

So who is playing 3rd tall defender if not Stewart? That's why he will get picked IMO. (which is a separate discussion as to whether he plays 50 games or not).

Playing for 4 points Taylor goes back.

He's a big midfielder who doesn't take marks, doesn't kick goals, can't ruck, doesn't win the ball, and doesn't have damaging disposal.

Duncan is likely getting a week for his bump so maybe we shift a small to the wing and play Black up forward

 

[dazbroncos]

Great ball movement there from back pocket to FF.

[Stan The Caddy]

dazbroncos, he's bringing up my wrong predictions.

Harden up!

 

[SkittleCats]

Murdoch hasnt been too shabby today to be fair.

 

[James1970]

Watching Murdoch run around next to Danger reminds me of Linda McCartney playing keyboards in Wings.

 

[Whit3y]

How vital is Menzel to our forward line

 

[Catman]

Murda is playing himself into the Round 1 team.

What's the statute of limitations on bringing up things people have said in the past here?

 

[Stocks_go_Up]

Now we can go through "our best is good enough" bullshit AGAIN - look at our 3rd quarter people will say... Clearly Chris Scott knows how to turn the team around, that quarter is proof !... Well my friends playing like absolute dog shit and then having a good quarter here and there in no way erases the shit. Not willing to accept the yoyo performances as good enough - we need consistency.

 

[BlakeyNoFlakey]

Who's knows mate, the inconsistency of this team is unbelievable.

The inconsistency is consistent with preseason games though. It's always like this.
