16th on the ladder and we play Ellard over Boekhorst... ruddy oath, SAKC BARKER

He's got a shightload of ticks, I guess that's a cross. Nobody is perfect. )

2 in a row, and i rate us a huge chance to go three in a row next week to set up a big game against the tigers in round 15. Also note that barker has won 2 from 4 with the same list that Malthouse could only get 1 from 7 and didnt rate.

Kreuzer - 22 hitouts, 17 disposals, 8 marks. Well done big fella. And Wood wasnt far behind.
Buckley was awesome, providing the run and enthusiasm Id dearly love to see Yarran doing.
Cripps, standing tall all over the ground.
White - I think continually underrated. I dont think he'll go when Jamison comes back, but then Im not sure who will.
Murphy - another great game.
bell - sometimes struggles skillwise, but he keeps going. I think thats representative of the entire team at the moment.
Cripps, Graham, Buckley - theres a core to go on with if there ever was.

Negatives -
Our goalkicking - 3.7 in the third was pretty poor, and many were gettable.
Menzel should have gone off and stayed off as soon as that knee went. I hate clubs the idea of putting injured players back out on the park, especially with his injury.

Ellard will probably go again, out for Jamison. I think White will be retained - he's been pretty good for mine, giving Jamison the freedom to attack up the ground - which I love the idea of. Boekhurst in for Menzel if he cant get up.

This.

I'd like to see Boekhorst start, yet wouldn't want to see Holman with the vest again.

Like that Casboult got his 3 goals and could have had even more.

Hardly the worst forward in the comp like some GC fans were saying on their board

I told them not to underestimate him but they wouldn't listen

Kreuzer went into beast mode today. How much have we missed the big fella.

i thought he was BOG cause it all started with his dominance !!

tend to agree , ellard might try hard but he is not an AFL player

his kick to murphy is the first quarter down the wing was F grade amateur stuff

 

[DirkDiggler]

What I don't get is despite our dominance statistically with 130 more disposals, with nearly double the clearances and three times the centre clearances we still only managed to enter our forward fifty 52 times to their 47. So despite our dominance in play we entered our forward fifty, five more times.. Were we overusing the ball? Approximately one entry into our forward line for every 8 disposals.

 

[The Blue Baggers]

Menzel has been really disappointing all year, he is really at a stage where he should be impacting games every week.. Has he even had one good game this year?

thought he started ok , think he tightened up in the legs hence he was subbed

 

[LanceRomance]

In some little ways... we are playing better than under Ratts.

Dirk we spent a good part of the game chipping the ball sideways across half back, hence the dominance in stats.

 

[The Blue Baggers]

Gold Coast are a seriously bad team though. Only two players registered over 20 touches.

Great effort from Holman to pick up 8 disposals in his time on the ground.

agree , they were terrible

huge issues with their coach . culture , coke , reliance on ablett , ..................................

would like charlie dixon in our team !!

 

[Sam The Doc]

Lol @ the current caller on sen saying Armfield is all australian

Had SEN on the way home tonight.
Wow it sucked... First snapper and this dulll dullll Dubai caller... Finey is on something weird tonight.

 

[The Blue Baggers]

Most of us were giving it to Ellard today yet he found it 18 times and laid 5 tackles, not bad for small fwd... Although he was wasteful

he does try but his disposal is VAFA stuff , low grades

 

[AB_Blue]

How dangerous could we be if we could hit 50% of our targets forward of centre?!??

 

[The Blue Baggers]

Can't help but feel we're slower playing with 2 rucks..

Felt as if Wood was spending pretty much most of the game in the forward line. He didn't have a bad game but surely we could do with another runner in his place.

have to disagree thought wood & kreuzer tag team today smashed them , would keep both in the team for mine !!

Not overusing it, just keeping possession and trying to hit up a lead into our forward line when we could, which is better than the constant bomb it long tactic.

Suns have high I50 count considering their possessions because most were long kicks to Lynch and Dixon.

It worked for us we had 30 shots on goal, just didn't convert.

 

[LanceRomance]

Armfield could be AA if he keeps this up

We also kicked 14:19.

33 scoring shots from 52 entries is decent.

2 in a row.......we're back!!!

all aboard the blue train !!

I feel that next week against the Dogs will give us a better indication of just how good we really are. The Dogs are a very good side and play with a lot of aggression and apply a lot of pressure on the ball carrier and will not allow us much time or space. We will also need to make a lot less mistakes, although if we come to play we will match it with them.

Did you hear the guy who said Melbourne will play finals this year?

 

[mediumsizered]

Is Holman a better user of the pill than some (such as myself) just assumed from reading some reports?

Seem to remember the only other time I've seen him play (at AFL level) he had a good clean and composed pass or two inside 50, so he has it in him. Could he end up a better Mitch Robinson?

The good thing with Holman is you will never see him try & kick the leather off the ball. He'd rather pinpoint a 30 metre pass than bomb the thing long. He potentially could have had a long shot on goal in the last quarter, but instead he hit one of his teammates on the chest to set up a certain goal.

Cripps telling Holman that he's O.K.

I think Cripps was also the first to congratulate him after the team sang the club song and Holman was drenched in gatorade.

The kid will be a future captain.

I like White too. Would like him to stay in the team. I reckon he is our most appropriate match up for Stringer next week.

Problem is if Jamo comes back for someone other than White or Rowe, we lose some run and we can't drop any of Simpson, Yarran, Tuohy, Buckley or Docherty...might be in for Rowe or could even be left out?? It will be interesting to see.

His first instinct is to always do the team thing, it's a great attribute.
