McKinley to Rosa


****ing AWESOME!~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[W3llsy]

Great vision McKinley, quality finish Rosa.

His ball use is so improved this season.

 

[Xavi6]

Well done Rosa. Good spot by McKinley.

 

[Eagle87]

Rosa and McKInley!!

 

[Arecsa]

Rosa, having a great game today.

 

[Mandino]

Super impressive today Rosa!

 

[Ghossein]

Rosa is red (hot)
Violets are blue...

 

[RoJo Junior]

This season 81% of teams leading at 3/4 time have won.

Im thinking we would've made up the bulk of those 19% games

 

[CursoryMercenary]

I like McKinley running with the ball, he can be damaging and doesn't mind a bounce.

 

[W3llsy]

Sheppard > Trengrove.

Haha, I have no stat on that but it sounds right.

 

[Crimson King]

****ing tense.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Bloody lucky Sylvia didnt hang on to that.

I wouldn't be calling us favourites. Our fourth quarters have been woeful.

 

[CursoryMercenary]

It's like one of those dreary Melbourne suburban ground days from the 90's.

Great quarter boys

 

[Crimson King]

We've drafted a gem in Sheppard.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Haha, I have no stat on that but it sounds right.

We coughed up leads in rounds 1 and 2. That's it I think.

 

[mitchzz]

Sheppard > Trengrove.

But is he better than Trengove?

Yeah, Shepp has been great so far. Very classy, takes the game on - exactly what we needed.

 

[sTeeL]

Gem? He hasnt done bad but hardly been great....

 

[Eagle87]

Well, we are in the game with a quarter to go. We AGAIN didn't get value for money that quarter and we AGAIN gave up a soft momentum stopping goal .

We got Naita some rest and hopefully he can create a couple of goals this quarter. We need some luck and we need to be able to maintain that intensity but we can win this ...

I sincerely hope that we see Lynch and Nico nowhere near the defensive 50 this quarter.

Anyone else think its funny that we keep picking McKinley and Lynch but when discussing our potential goal kickers they are never mentioned ...

 

[Makka]

We've drafted a gem in Sheppard.

Yeah. Very happy with him that's for sure. Wish we could get some goals on the board though. We dominated most of that quarter and kicked hardly anything. I'm worried we'll run out of legs in the last quarter again though and with not much of a lead.....

 

[Scotland]

Rosa is red (hot)
Violets are blue...

The Demons have '1' but wish they had '2'?

 

[Biggie]

We've drafted a gem in Sheppard.

Looks good don't he.

Rosa has impressed me very much today.

 

[wirra44]

Melbourne are $2.14 might be worth putting some money on it considering our 4th qtrs this year.


CMON eagles fire up

 

[Crimson King]

Gem? He hasnt done bad but hardly been great....

Compare his disposal + decision making to some of the others and he's a gem.

Need a big quarter from Lecca and JK.

 

[slidetribe]

This shit is tough to watch.

Could not say it any better! Perhaps add "frustrating as hell"...
