Game Day Rd 3 Nmfc v GWS: 3qtime: Can't spell, can't kick

[Devington]

Jack has had a monster first half to be honest. Possibly some of the cleanest and effective football I've ever seen from him.

 

[Heaps of fun]

Kudos to our defenders. They've worked extremely well as a unit so far today.

 

[koshari]

Has Jmac forgotten how to play footy?

He once knew?

 

[Moti]

Swallow looking stars quicker

Appears very composed today.

 

[Dirty_11]

Gibson has lost it. Move on.

Gibson is plodding atm.

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

Every ****ing handball is a ****ing metre off.

And Durdin is fumbly. Its his 1st game. What's Macmillan's excuse?

 

[Gone north]

Hansen is killing them !

McMillan has been as bad as the umpires ....

 

[ChopChopDigDig]

Poor handballs again costly

I'm loving the run and carry game, but we seem to go one more handball than necessary.

 

[Flawed Genius]

The most frustrating thing about watching this game has been the fact that we seem to be about 85% on, and capable of moving the ball well and fluidly, cutting through GWS at stages and working the ball down the ground, but then somewhere between the centre circle and the F50, whoever has the ball forgets how to play footy and fumble****s it all the way to a turnover.

Swallow is hitting contests like a man possessed. Macmillan has had a Barry.

 

[Devington]

what is being done to correct this?

Nothing that I've ever seen. What makes it more frustrating is that all too often it seems that our overall gameplan doesn't play to our squads strength, nor do player's roles fit their characteristics. Scary stuff when you think about it.

 

[Boristown]

Man, we held up well at the end. Feels like GWS have had about a zillion inside 50s.

Taz and Lachie doing well.

 

[grimface_87]

Very lucky with all their misses toward the end of the quarter

Horrible game to watch though!

 

[Horizons_00]

Not watching it but sounds like a few underperforming players have been given a kick up the ass!

 

[koshari]

The conditions really suiting loogie. He defends long floating balls so much better than short spearing passes.

 

[naturally north]

Ok half time.....


17 scoring to 9- ouch.

Preuss has been the story of the match so far.

Durds- good athletic type, has struggled but yeah first hit out and all

Our skills below required AFL standard.

Am worried for the second half- this could get real messy.
Browny hasn't fired a shot- need him to get going.


All in all apart from Preuss a shocking game of footy to watch.

 

[Roosurgence]

McMillan and Durdin could nearly put Giants jumpers on they are that bad.

Swallow is doing his usual get it and butcher it role.

Pruess is obliterating Mumford.

 

[nicko74]

We make too many mistakes... unforced mistakes

 

[Flawed Genius]

Ziebs 15 touches at 93%. 6 clearances. Mullett 19 at 78% with a staggering 11 rebound 50s at half time.

 

[ChopChopDigDig]

Doing OK for a team not playing particularly well. JMac is having a shocker, Durds gave two goals away from simple fumbles, Turner & Browny have hardly been seen. Lots of players to step up further (Goldy, Higgo, LT, etc)

Games totally being won out of the clearances. Win in the middle, and we'll win the game. Backs doing a great job considering the I50 count, just have to use the ball a little better with the run and carry.

 

[jclei]

Some pretty solid defence in that quarter bit it's a bit alarming that we are getting pumped in the midfield.

Better quarter from Hrovat.
Swallow has been good!
Need a heap more from Dumont, Clarke and Higgins.

Ben Brown where are you today?

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

I think we move past them but Swallow and Hansen have been excellent.

Swallow has actually been pretty clean.

 

[Moti]

Clarke, Gibbo and Dumont all having poor games

We need to win the 3rd quarter by 4 goals to have a chance.

6 goals. We need a 4 goal buffer minimum
