Also shout out to Nick Riewoldt for criticising Vandermeer for not spotting up his old teammate Bruce and instead opting for a perfect pass to Richards’ advantage that ended in a goal.

Agree. His efforts throughout game were not up to it. What would Maclean and other wave thinking if he gets another game? I’ve seen enough.

Did anyone else think umps were about GC biased in last half of last quarter? Missed Wallis free kick, some questionable HTB against us. Maybe I’m paranoid?

Just because I think everyone is out to get us doesn't mean they're not.

Given the way Brucey was mugging them all night, the kick to Richards was a much better decision.

Oh for sure, but it was a beautiful kick that Richards dropped. If it was a certain other player for the other side that commentary are trying to make me hate the three idiots would still be talking about it.

I was pleased to see Porter get more involved in the contest in the final quarter. He seemed to adapt to the pace and pressure of the game as it went on, and I'm keen to see him get 2 or 3 matches to show his wares.

Cody had a disappointing second game, but that is to be expected.

Lachie Young needs to go back to half back in the scratch matches, and wait for an injury or player needing a rest. He looked lost forward of centre

Lipinski started poorly and looked to be running in mud at times. I wouldn't be surprised to see him out of the side next week (although he also improved as the game went on).

Backline were immense. Macrae, Libba and Bazlenka provide an amazing contest around the ball.

Fantastic win against the odds throughout the game. We gave ourselves a tough ask with selection, and probably didn't deserve the win, but it's nice to move to 5-3 and 3rd on the ladder!

Richards' goal off the deck was superb.

Re: WB Game Day V Gold Coast Suns R8 2020

Its an incredible echo chamber of Billy bashing, to deny that is ridiculous. He wasnt that bad.
I'll not make more comment but remember this is a public forum and these guys are human. That kick was the release the hounds moment most had been baying for. He had 8 disposals yes, so did most other forwards.
Great win !

Maybe, and stay with me here, maybe Billy just isn't quite good enough. Maybe it's a defense mechanism. If I prepare myself to be let down, it'll hurt less.

Really..
Every mistake is being scrutinised, almost with relish..
Yep i yelled at the TV when he turned it over late..it was a shocker.
But pregame people were jumping on, sharpening knives.

Lots of blokes made bad errors tonight, and have done similar, but don't get the scrutiny Billy does, and not in the same way.
I was hoping to celebrate a tough win, in tough conditions agaibst3an increasingly tough opponent....
You'd think we got pumped .
I'm off camping tomorrow, happy for the win, enjoy the weekend.

Your definition of sharpening knives is different to mine. Much trepidation surrounded his selection and it was borne out. That's about it. Lots of bloke made plenty of mistakes sure, but nobody else made THAT mistake.

Anyway, don't forget the caveat that anything said in the game day thread is inadmissible in the court of law. I'm sure once the blood pressures drop it'll be discussed more objectively.

Enjoy the camping.

It was the right decision - a one on one close to goal vs a kick to a KPF on a greasy night further out on a decent angle. Richards kicked it too as Vanders kick it to his advantage

Maybe, and stay with me here

Cheers. That condescending attitude is uncalled for. I have had a bit to do with Billy, stay with me, he's a very capable human. Time for a break for me...!

You're not paranoid, you're just worried about other paranoid people thinking you are!

Relax mate. Stay with us, everything is actually OK. Remember, it's the game day thread.

Re: WB Game Day V Gold Coast Suns R8 2020

Richards' goal off the deck was superb.

Agreed. And he did a few things tonight that might just get me off his back.

Hit a target or two that he hadn't previously, and that goal....was sublime body use and quick thinking and highly skilled.

Re: WB Game Day V Gold Coast Suns R8 2020

I actually thought Billy had endeavour tonight. Probably too kamikaze at times. Committed his body and crashed packs. Was lucky not to give away a few more free kicks. He is unpredictable. It was a hard night for a forward. I’m not ruling him out forever. But gee whiz, that last kick was stupid football.

Imagine if the ball was slingshot from half back all the way inside 50 and they kick the winning goal. Billy's lucky Bont worked back to take the settler.
