Shut up Ox 

What'd he say

He started cheering for the Suns and calling out for frees and that we could still choke with 3 mins to go.

wHAT?

Not you mate lol. I was talking about David Schwarz who was commentating the game on SEN.

haha

i don't even think of him when i see "ox", anymore

I got home just before the end of the second quarter. I thought our third quarter was an outstanding defensive effort from the entire team. That GCS couldnt do anything on the scoreboard in that quarter really helped us win. Thought Chaplin was excellent and Rance not too shabby either with their defensive work. Jackson much to his credit also played really well.  Dont know why we keep missing easy shots for goal. You cant keeping missing as much as we do and get away with it for long in the AFL. Vlastuin seems to have lost all form at the moment and probably needs a spell, Foley looked average for mine. Overall though we got the 4 points and thats all that mattered although the last 3 minutes looked like being a repeat of last years stuff up. Hardwick seemed happy at the end of the game

Agreed 
Good post Ramps you missed the poo

Dimma's reaction in the box on the siren was priceless lol.

My was pretty good too, hope I'm not on the TV 

Have to say our rotations in the 1st qtr were ridiculous. Players coming off and  less than 30 seconds later going back on and not knowing who they had to go too. Best coaching move of the night was when Dimma put Leppa at the interchange to give blokes instructions rather than allowing the fitness guy with clipboard in hand to speak to them (I was sitting behind the interchange)

Thought A Edwards down back worked a treat, good decision maker and good disposal. Petterd was very good apart from 2 OOTF.

Kudos to jacko he was excellent

Conca had shocker and he was ably assisted by S Edwards, King, Ellis

Felt of Jack Reiwoldt he was grabbed and scragged off the ball while trying to lead that many times it wasn't funny. Even less funny when an umpire is watching and does nothing 

Gotta catch my first flight but can I just say:

Campbell Brown is a dog and gutless. Less see if the vision picks up his crude effort by foot on Matty White

It's true what they say. The fruit doesn't fall too far from the tree.

I agree. Brown is a gutless coward who can't play football. His high tackle on Cotch sums him as a player-Talentless hack.

The game never reached great heights and was pretty ordinary but we won.

Highlights- Jackson's game was fantastic. He read the conditions better than anyone else eg his second goal where he kicked it low. He beat Ablett fair and square. Cotch was fantastic. One of the few who disposed cleanly in the packs, Petterd was the pick of the backmen. Deserves credit. His short kicking good but long kicking a worry.His goal saving tackle was a ripper in the second half. Our tackling in the game was very good. Chaplin's kicking was good but dropped a few marks should have taken. Deledio played well.

Thought Aaron Edwards played well and was amazed that he was substituted.
Negatives: Second half of Ellis was very poor. Forward line on the night was poor. Jack seems distracted by contract talks. Martin got a lot of the ball but made some uncharacteristic errors. Agree King, S Edwards and Conca had poor games as did Foley. Foley's disposal in the packs was really ordinary. Kicking for goal a real worry I know the conditions were not good but some of the kicking for goal was average when we had the wind behind us


Edited to correct quote

[eliminator]

Newman also played very well

[bojangles17]

Good grinding win, i reckon they were on top for first 40 minutes....from that point we asserted ourselves and not unusually but for poor kicking at goal would have won by a bigger margin. Sane edwards form is a worry, has been ordinary for a few weeks now

[Gigantor]

Hey Bo surely the poor kicking and poor skills had a lot to the do with the fact that half the pacific ocean was blowing across the ground.Agree about titch,he seems to have gone back to trying to do the fancy stuff rather than doing what all good midfielders do,getting it and kicking it.

[Willy]

S. Edwards should be dropped for Tuck or McBean.
Has been poor for a while now.
Cant understand people calling for Azza to be dropped. He was good before being subbed, a view shared by Dimma.

I think Shanes hands are too vital in close, I'd rather see vlastuin get dropped to go find some form.

[Willy]

Thought Vlas was better than Sheds yesterday and will be more suited to Freo's style.
I would accept Tucky for Vlas though.

[Gigantor]

Yes I also thought Vlas was good yesterday especially early

[eliminator]

After listening to the press conference it appears that Hardwick regretted his decision to sub Edwards. Houli appears certain to play against Freo. Hardwick seemed to suggest that Grigg would retain his spot against Freo but I think he should be dropped for Tuck.
