Round #14 - Slaps and Sledges

Re: Round #14 - Slaps and Sledges

This. They were absolutely disgusting, outrightly barracking for Gold Coast most of the game.

Imagine how bad it would've been with Blight in the box?

Barracking for GC, and trying to get Barry Hall suspended.

There was one point where at the bottom of the screen you could see Campbell Brown give Jones a cheeky little punch. Not mentioned at any stage by the commentators.

SLAPS:

Wards snap goal was outstanding. He broke tackles, won contested footy and beat three opposition players to kick that one. For a bloke who has played 50 games he is a fantastic player. His work rate and hardness is second to none.

Our kicking efficiency in general, especially for goal.

Re: Round #14 - Slaps and Sledges

Just like when we played Geelong, Nathan Vardy had 10 possessions and kicked 1 goal in a 10 massacre, yet they carried on like he played the greatest individual game in AFL history.

I'm pretty sure its a rule of commentary that if a 195cm+ player takes a pack mark, you have to talk about them for the duration of the broadcast.

Hopefully they are talking about Cordy soon.....

Re: Round #14 - Slaps and Sledges

They carried on like Barry had sniped Bock! Much to their disappointment there was nothing in it! What about Michael Christian's " There'd be 6 minutes left"( after that silly 5 min warning came up.) "Still time"! Thankfully there was the Chris Grant option on the ABC

Re: Round #14 - Slaps and Sledges

Slaps

Cooney (getting better every week)
Gia - having a blinder and really stepped up as a leader this year
Picken - best tagging job I've seen in ages
G Ablett - he's worth every single cent even on a bad day
Dahlhaus & Barlow - 2 more like these rippers from next years rookie list please!

Sledges
Tommy Williams - someone had him in their best earlier; I thought he got monstered and I'm trying to find the improvement?
Sherman - he does everything the brisbane supporters warned us about. Handballing to your team-mates feet makes you a liability Sherman. Trade him on again and free up our $400K please.....

And ignored the fact that Baz got a clip over the ear first.

Tommy played on Dixon who had about 5 possessions. Tommy outbodied him and effected a couple of very good pack spoils. The improvement is there.

Sherman is a conundrum mixing some very good things with complete stuff ups. He does bring run and gets to the right spots for easy goals. Worth his place despite the frustrations.

Re: Round #14 - Slaps and Sledges

Slap - Cooney, a really solid game, if he plays like that for the remainder of the year it will be a win for the team.

Slap - Griffen, he's elite.

Sledge - Picken, he was annihilated by Ablett, only won one contest by my count and gave away countless frees. I couldn't care less how tight he was wearing him, if he can't either neutralise the ball or outright win it then he has failed. It's about time he was dropped.

Sledge - Jones, only had about 2 beneficial plays and was generally ineffective/not even close to the ball. I don't really want to see him up on centre wing where it's easy to take a few marks, make a contest in forward fifty.

If I didn't think you were serious, I'd be laughing out loud. Picken negated one of the greatest players in today's game. For that alone, he deserves praise.

Ablett is basically untagable. But Picken always finds a way!

Not that it's super relevant but judd was certainly tagable today.

Didn't happen to notice the guy he was playing on?

Ablett in his last 5 games is averaging 35 possessions a game, and nearly 2 goals. Which incidently he managed to better last time we played Geelong when Boyd played on him, that day he just managed to eke out 39 possessions and 3 goals.

Or the game before when he knocked out 40 possessions... or the game before that when he gathered a disapointing 38 touches...

I'd take Picken's "annihilation" every day of the week compared to what Ablett's done to us in the past.
