Have barely seen Trac

 

[Scythe94]

Well done by Trac and Koz there

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Have barely seen Trac

Fired him up, great work in that passage of play twice 60m apart by Trac

 

[Deemanding]

Also just like last quarter - kick a goal in the last 20 seconds. Briliant pressure.

 

[Scythe94]

Have barely seen Trac

Been sitting forward for most of it. Need to get him around the ball more IMO

 

[mrmonkey]

Few

 

[Fork n Hell]

good finish by ANB

 

[Toump Ass]

Have barely seen Trac

A few invisible today.

Also ANB is a gun don’t listen to anyone who says otherwise.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

We are giving away far too many frees in centre bounces.

 

[Scythe94]

How do you determine a free there?

 

[netslave]

may as well flip a ooin for ruck free kicks

 

[bloodpumpsRnB]

This umpire can’t bounce the ball above head height.

 

[netslave]

time for Crazy Goody!

 

[mrmonkey]

Was expecting this gold coast much better team at home.

 

[Tulip]

Suns have decided they care today. Tough game tbh, not sure how much you can read into it from our POV in the first half anyway. Most players doing well, defence looks shaky against their talls and Rosas. JVR not quite clunking them but jumping well, both rucks doing well up forward. Petracca having a quiet game, Oliver and Viney doing well.

 

[Johnny Karate]

No point melting as it’s a good contest but we’re getting a little bit of a smacking around the ball. Fritsch has been unsighted and it could be confirmation bias but May seems to be losing his feet in contests this year.

 

[Dory_77]

That bit of fire to end the half might be handy. Have been half-arsed too often. A lot of passengers so far.

 

[Tulip]

Probably time we had a chat about Steven May

. There’s a lot of ball coming in but he’s just not dominating aerially and winning 50/50s below his knees like he used to. If his form doesn’t improve, it might be an age thing.

 

[Scythe94]

Trac just doesn't have the forward craft to be a 50/50 mid-forward. He's a mid that can rest forward – play to his strengths.

 

[netslave]

this will be a loss if we dont pull the finger out soon.

 

[jhong]

I wonder if our forward setup actually is not good for fritsch . Maybe needs to be further up the ground .

 

[SackLunch]

I’m enjoying the game tbh. Been a bit of everything, including some genuine feeling.

Probably time we had a chat about Steven May. There’s a lot of ball coming in but he’s just not dominating aerially and winning 50/50s below his knees like he used to. If his form doesn’t improve, it might be an age thing.

I still think he’s playing with some sort of back ailment. He’s moving like he’s a bit restricted in his flexibility. Having a calf/hamstring mystery leg injury like he did in round 1 and 2 is also typical for a back related problem rather than a specific muscle problem.
