Geebers Ollie.

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Good work Bud

 

[Tedeski]

Convinced on what i have seen this year McClean is going to make it. Has not put a foot wrong.

Great hands Wolfy. Great hands. That's what we need from a key target.

 

[TheMase]

Seriously good and underrated performance this so far. It hasn’t been pretty but have completely worked over the Pies since halfway through first quarter.

Pies goalless since quarter time.

[Punts]

Much better

Still have to use it better going forward

 

[Mister B]

Fantastic quarter. Fantastic pressure. Probably unlucky we didn't get another one or two goals. Need to maintain that with the wind in the last and really put the final nail in the coffin.

Good work Bud

JMac ran 30 metres to dap him up for that effort.

 

[Citrus22]

Brilliant defence since quarter time

Pies blocking the space

Dee's were doing it last week and chose the right speedy players to block the space with. Worked well in a wet night swans will need to find a way to counter that kind of defensive setup without doing an extra at the back for a switch which is a bit predictable. One way would be to draw in those players somehow to create a bit of space just behind them, or to set it up from the kick in by going to the middle short to a running team mate which has yielded 3 goals this match so far.

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Better Qtr.... Warner, Wicks, McLean, JMac all earning their minimum wages. Buddy was influential that quarter.

 

[elastic]

Much better quarter. Pressure picked up immensely and cut off their short options. Probably didn't get the result for our dominance but hopefully we finish the game off well. Florent. Lloyd, Maclean. Papley and most of the team lifted.

Imagine being Collingwood. Being in a genuine premiership window, screwing up list management, and within the space of a year they're playing a rubbish brand of preservation football. Putrid.

 

[Dangas]

Keeping the Pies goalless for two quarters is an exceptional effort. Credit to our backline, Tommy M in particular.

 

[Dubai Quacker]

Wicks has made a huge impact post 1/4 time.

Tacking anything and everything. Pies can’t clear 50.

I think that's the difference between where we are at (bottom 10 side currently improving much faster than expected) and where we obviously want to be (top 4)

Great hands Wolfy. Great hands. That's what we need from a key target.

I really like his hunger to compete Ted. Just a good kid who is out there playing a game he loves and has the right attitude for the sport. Also the fact that he has not dropped his head a couple of times this year when dropped when it was not warranted and come back every time and performed. Has some fortitude the boy.

 

[Millky95]

Rampe also being cleaner since quarter time

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Wicks has made a huge impact post 1/4 time.

Tacking anything and everything. Pies can’t clear 50.

His pressure stats would be off the charts.

 

[TheMase]

The wind in the last quarter comes in pretty handy with a 19 point lead in our pocket...

 

[Citrus22]

20 tackles inside 50 after a big fat zero at quarter time

 

[Wolfgang West]

Counting up this quarter?

Yeah what's the deal there ?

 

[Bonz]

Hickey once again has been incredible.

McLean continues to surprise and impress me, his defensive pressure today has been awesome.

Has footy smarts.
