Game Day Sons of the West versus Suns of the North game day thread

[Libba39]

Naughton is an absolute gun.

Honey on the other hand could be the worst player in the AFL.

Haven’t played well at all, crucified by the umpires first quarter, need more composure going forward and need to work harder defensively.

Sandy roberts, Dermott and Lynch is as terrible a commentary team as you can get and Johnson would have to be the only commentator that doesn’t favour his old team and it actually annoys me when all around him dogs are getting bagged and he says nothing. Like when derm saying Dunkley hasn’t taken the next step and needs to and only got 6 games last year, he was injured a fair chunk last year and is only in his third year ffs

Why can’t we lay a tackle? It’s probably the most basic skill in the game and we are bloody hopeless at it. The opposition just brush us off.

Plus, when we tackle them, they effectively lift their arms and keep the ball free, easily passing it off. Don't our guys get taught how to do this and how to counter it?

Would have preferred Webb or Smith to come in.

We are ranked 18 for tackles. Terrible

Jong is giving him a run for his money

18th in contested possessions as well.

Apart from that 5 - 10 min burst we’ve played crapola

 

[Doggies_13]

Really need some outside pace and footskills in the next offseason.

Not sure why we went with Honeychurch again how many times do we need to see this guy isn’t up to it

Sheparding an opponent in his first game. Oh my goodness, he’s set for a Brownlow. Brereton was creaming over him. He’s gonna be a star, they say. Let’s remember this fawning when Crossley is 25 and working as a bricklayer.

 

[DognBones]

8 players without a single tackle. Not good enough.

 

[Mattdougie]

When you guys accept we are not very good this year it is so much easier.

Something broken at the club.

 

[JoshFunkley]

Gee whiz Mrs Crossley is alright

 

[mcgleereturns]

All bullshit aside, and I’ve been swearing at the TV as much as anyone, butputting any expectations on this side other than 100% effort and some modicum if kicking skill is tough. So little experience all round. AND pure talent.

And there’s Crossleys Mum getting interviewed in the crowd FFS

Weak young. Can't throw out a limp arm. Take the body

 

[Doggies_13]

Soft by Lewis young

 

[Doggy]

piss poor again

 

[Scary_Foot_9]

No wonder everybody’s been fixated on Crossley.....

 

[Norm De Guerre]

Toby McLean has more tackles than these eight combined!

5 of these players can be considered to be playing forward of centre.

 

[TMoney22]

So a first gamer is showing more forward craft than anyone in our team all year. But we are young so its all good

 

[NBates]

Good. Get off. Karma

 

[Trugo3013]

So why the **** isn't that holding the ball then?

 

[DognBones]

At least Gold Coast players are prepared to run, we are so one-paced.

 

[NBates]

Bout bloody time
