Nab Rd 1 vs Swans - Game Day Thread

[celtic_pride]

What a complete lack of class by Brock Mclean refusing to shake Brett Kirk's game (one of footy's nicest guys) before the game (and yes I'm sure he saw the handshake offer)

I thought that was a pretty rotten thing to do in ur first game for the club, I'm sorry to say.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Yarran to Robinson - very deft

 

[Jatz]

backline looks alright

 

[Mister Carlton]

Mitch goal.

 

[blue_boys]

robbo is running around like a maniac out there... brilliant stuff. great start, looking good blues

 

[Ytoojae]

I wouldn't shake anyones hand until after the game, but thats just me.

I'd like to see one of our forwards take a grab -- three or four markables dropped by Kreuzer and Hendo already.

You have no class at all.

 

[Jatz]

kane lucas is looking slow and uncertain. hopefully just nerves

 

[Ytoojae]

I know its early but I still fail to see what you're all seeing in Steven Browne. Just subpay in almost every way except for his "animal" quality but even then he's too small for that.

 

[celtic_pride]

What an absolute rubbish and boring game, so many skill errors. too much bloody handball, and not enough precision with the kicking oh and robbo should get an academy award for his acting in getting that second goal ...

 

[Mister Carlton]

Mitch kicks another.

 

[Ytoojae]

I love Robinson up in the forward line. He's big, he's tough, he's mean and he has every quality you'd want in a medium forward. He's going to be a 40 goal per year scorer if he gets to play FP or HFF.

Reminds me a little of Brad Pearce down there.

*dribble*

 

[Ytoojae]

Cant believe AJ didn't get the free kick - it was almost one of those blatant dangerous play reports.

Hey Celtic Punk go pick a team to follow like Richmond who like to pick absolutely everything apart without saying anything positive about their team. You only moved from Geelong when they started being successful.

You can't handle success because it takes you away from your own miserable existance.

 

[celtic_pride]

Marcus Davies looks a lot more composed and measured then Kane Lucas.

Frankly we're playing absolute rubbish football, ditto the Swans.

 

[Ytoojae]

What sort of idiiot umpire doesn't know the difference between a siren and a train.

They'll never umpire at the MCG.

Idiots.

 

[Blue Dimension]

Terrible game so far. Skills have been absolutely woeful.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

.49 to go and a frigging train nearly stops the quarter.

Rucks doing ok.

Everyone had a piece of it in the first quarter,
so will leave it at that.

You really have no idea. Every game against Sydney is like this, some people have such short memories.

Have loved the defensive pressure shown by Henderson and Yarran, keep them in the team and they'll soon be getting more of the ball. Mitch Robinson you are a beauty

I hope someone takes Bevan's head off before the games out

Gee anyone would think it is a Pre Season game by your description.......

Agree Sydney are a shut down team that win by keeping the scores low and the game scrappy.

Nothing like a bit of brutal honesty to bring out the fans with heads in the sand ...

I realise it's only NAB Cup and you have to expect the players are somewhat Rusty, but honestly, I couldn't care less if you think I'm nit-picking, I'm getting very frustrated watching so many skill errors ..

I am dissapointed in Henderson TBH, I thought he could have taken a couple of marks that he dropped.

 

[BowerTower]

Mitch Robinson - 10/10, had a man crush on him since Round 1 2009

Kane Lucas - Obviously nervous, every possession has been a clanger so far

Sam Jacobs - Been a big wrap for him since last year's NAB cup, has overtaken Hampson IMO based on the first quarter alone. His 2nd efforts, ground work and general presence are fantastic. Hopefully him and Warnock will stand up and allows us to use Kreuzer where we please.

Forward Line - Would be nice if the midfield gave them a chance by kicking to a lead instead of straight up in the air. Decent showing by Henderson so far, definitely has a presence on the field.. Kreuzer mostly ineffective so far.

Better pressure from the Birds? I thought your second goal was against the run of play.

Robinson looks hard as.

Even though Sydney have added some badly needed pace to their team, they are still playing the same ugly football.

Likes: Robbo, Garlett, Yarran, Bower

Everything else is pretty lacklustre.
