[chipzac]

Blues 3.5 23
Pies 1.2.8

O’Keefe & Lemmey a goal each, both very athletic move really well for their size…

Would greatly appreciate it if you keep it coming FBB

I thought they were fine.

I always find complaining about commentary a weird thing, especially in a not so serious practice match....

On CPH2005 using BigFooty.com mobile app

Sorry, I didn't realise it was commentary, Thought a chat show had been superimposed over a football match

 

[AndyLucimitis]

Anyone still at the game and happy to provide commentary on the reserves match?

Here you go:

- "....Ohhh I tipped this, I tipped this."

- "HIT THE BOUNDARY, HIT THE BOUNDARY"

After being at the game, we showed some good signs being our first game but obviously a lot of work to do!!

Really like Hollands did some really good things!! Harry was taking the piss and the connection with Charlie looks really good!!

Cez and Mots impressed me as well the efforts of O’Brien and Cowan!! Crippa was Crippa, I’m glad his okay and it’s just a rolled ankle!!

Some promising signs plus always good to beat the Pies!!

Pittonet Dow Kennedy Carroll Lemmey O’Keefe Binns Durdin Akuie out there atm…

 

[Coops93]

Heard we won, you wouldn't know it

Must have done somethings good but let's focus on the negatives.

Because it's a pre-season game. It really doesn't matter. Sure you'd rather win than not but ultimately it's about learning about what's worked and what hasn't and how to fix what hasn't.

 

[Coops93]

Good hitout, closed out the game well against the scoring end I thought.

Lots of bombing the ball long without a real target but not looking too much into it given the fatigue.

Probably is worth a look into as it's been an ongoing issue for us for at least 5 years.

 

[FitzroyBlueBagger]

Dow rundown tackle turnover Binns collects ball gets down to Lemmey on the lead, misses set shot from boundary…

Depends whether your a glass half full or empty person. I prefer to concentrate on what went well, just my two cents and have a good day.

 

[FitzroyBlueBagger]

O’Keefe mark on the lead, 50 out and nails it… blues 6.6.36

 

[Sector 7G]

Okeeffe with a great lead and converts on a difficult angle

 

[I bleed Blue]

Would have liked to see some Boyd speed and kicking today.

When do we expect him fit again?

 

[FitzroyBlueBagger]

Pittonet Dow Kennedy Carroll Lemmey O’Keefe Binns Durdin Akuie out there atm…

Add Plowman to the list…

 

[Jimmyonesix]

Reads like lemmey and okeefe look nice prospects -- if lemmey turns into that ruck fwd wow

Mid year at best I think.

sounds like a forward ... wasn't his main weakness not being a good mark of the ball?

Apparently more the contested grabs

 

[Aphrodite]

From the Filth Board

Just as I predicted. Voss looking for a win and McRae experimenting with lots of rotation.
Nothing to worry about folks.
Voss is a dud coach. McRae much more shrewd.
Same will happen against the Hawks although we should win that one.

I hope no one is taking this too seriously in here. It's very obvious we're not going 100% lol.

 

[FitzroyBlueBagger]

Binns then O’Keefe involved in the next spoil/goal chain…
Blues 7.6.42
Pies 3.2.20
