Game Day Round 3 vs. Brisbane, Gabba, 7:30pm Thurs 28/03

[Soaring Magpie]

Resume our standard 2024, absolute rubbish

 

[Chilli Con Incarnate]

To be honest, this looks more like at did last year. Rarely did we play 4 good quarters. Just absorb and wait. Stay close enough.

 

[sloth6]

If a blokes had 20 possessions for the quarter and pretty much picked his team and put them on his shoulders - you’d think you farking say to someone - your job is to stop his influence and if you don’t get a kick, I don’t give a f$$k.

Under bloody 10 stuff Fly.

 

[caloschwaby]

Valiant defence for 15 mins just to completely piss everything we'd worked for away. They'd lost hope at QT, now they'll play with complete confidence and the games gone out of our balance until we can wrestle it back again.

 

[Rustin Cohle]

Cannot afford to hold off on the sub like last week. Release Crisp.

 

[ksardog]

Give Shultz 5 minutes in the 3rd qtr to make an impact, if not, sub him out for Crisp. We are basically one player short on the ground

 

[Hong Kong Pie]

We were awful awful at stoppages that quarter.

 

[TheGreatGrundy]

First full game this season...go easy

Why should anyone go easy on him? People have been crying out for him to play a full game and now he is showing why he wasn't selected to play before tonight.

 

[parano1a]

Sub Crisp on at HT. Midfield needs more grunt

 

[pie chucker]

That's a crap quarter of footy. I'm trying not to be too negative but I think we're done. Fn disgrace we gave up our first round draft pick for a spud.

 

[Magpie Since 1986]

Sub Mitchell

You are kidding aren't you???

Mitchell has 15 possessions, 7 contested, 2 clearances and 6 tackles.
Fin Macrae has 3 possessions and 3 tackles.

Macrae for Crisp, guy has still failed to show he is an AFL footballer.

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

Floodgates will open in the 2nd half. Can still see a 4 to 6 goal loss

 

[Lockyer24]

Absolutely demolished that quarter, when the heat got turned up we didn’t seem to want to be near the ball like most of this year. Very disappointing.

Think the game is still live if we can get some clearances to start this half.

 

[ThePheonix]

I think it would be useful if Collingwood before the game stop smearing their hands with butter.

 

[Bianconeri]

Not sure how Rayner can carry on like that after his GF performance.

 

[DWil6]

3-13 clearances in the second quarter.

 

[magpiemaniac44]

21 inside 50s to 2

Not the backlines fault, were holding on for dear life

 

[thebaldfacts]

Smashed around the clearances. Neale has had a field day.

Only bright side is they didn’t blow us away.

 

[domus]

The skills by hand and foot have been so bad. Make some moves Fly. Degoey hasn't touched it-put him in the square for ten minutes and give Reef a run in the middle. Why are coaches so reluctant to try something different? It's not as if you are locked into your changes. If they don't work, you can always revert to the status quo.

 

[jerry springer]

Darcy has just stopped going for marks

 

[ksardog]

We probably shouldn’t complain

For the last 2 years they’ve been 10 goal quarters from Brisbane

There is still half to come yet

 

[LuckyLee]

Fin Macrae 41 minutes TOG in first half for THREE disposals at 33% DE playing as an inside midfielder!

He’s doing an excellent Cal Brown impersonation.

Cameron just had to kick it ffs

It’s a Ruckman thing

 

[jjsmitty8]

Can honestly not remember the last time we spent the whole 30 minutes getting dominated. Couldn’t get an i50, couldn’t get a clearance. Usually the tide turns a bit and ya get a little patch of something

 

[hellfire]

Give Shultz 5 minutes in the 3rd qtr to make an impact, if not, sub him out for Crisp. We are basically one player short on the ground

In fairness, it didn’t go down that end that quarter. Macrae needs to lift.
