Perception is funny

Hill 27 disposals, 6 turnovers
Green, 24 disposals, 4 turnovers.

 

[Hubnester]

The AFL has destroyed our season with this draw, multiple 5 day breaks, 7 grounds in 7 weeks, season over before it started.

Can only hope we come home with a wet sail in the second half of the season. The injury list will (hopefully) start to shrink as we finally get some home games at Marvel

Good sides don't blame the fixture.

Usually because they are given preferable draws.

 

[cartwright]

Hard to see Butler displacing Garcia.

Yeah that 1 touch in a half from butler … isn’t much help

 

[sauce_head]

Jack Steele has roundly beaten a highly rated player. Marshall has beaten Briggs. Hugo has shown good energy. Owens has had some moments.

I reckon Marshall has won that battle.

RE: King, looking at the slow motion footage, it looks like the injury occurs when the defender kicks the side of his knee in mid-air during the marking contest - not on the landing. You can clearly see his leg goes limp before he lands.

If this is indeed the case, it could mean it's not an ACL tear. Fingers crossed. We need some good luck right about now.

 

[Plugger35]

That was like the Sinclair of old when he was playing as a small forward.

I still don't think we can win this but at least we are fighting this out.

 

[Hayes4PM]

Garcia in the middle there, won the clearance and got the handball over the top to Steele. First game, not bad.

 

[Plugger35]

Higgins!!!

They are teasing us again with some hope.

Ross not hitting on the chest explains the type of day it was, everything had to be done the hard way

 

[The Slug]

Honourable loss mode engaged

 

[Coconut_twirl]

2nd week in a row the Saints have played one too many talls for mine. None of the talls are really contributing with goals, and the Saints are lacking a bit of run.

 

[topbillings]

Nothing I hate more than an honorable loss. Disguises the flaws of the performance and means the media don't hit you as hard for losing. Would rather lose by 50 points and get the heat all week.

 

[Joffaboy]

Good sides don't blame the fixture.

Joking aren't you? 7 different grounds in 7 weeks travelled 3 times and another in two weeks all in the first 7 weeks.

Add multiple 5 and 6 day turnarounds causing injuries like Henry.
Season over before it began.

Garcia is our second best tackler of the day. Proves the others are not chipping in enough.

Yeah maybe, Carlton did it, can't see us doing it.

That was poor from Hill there, just slack handballs really...

 

[RBW_007]

Who was Hill trying to hit then.

 

[The Slug]

Hugo having a red hot go

 

[Plugger35]

That was poor from Hill there, just slack handballs really...

Heard footsteps and then gave a panic handball to a GWS player.

 

[Hayes4PM]

I've seen enough, Garcia needs to get a full game next week.

Garcia. Having a legit crack. He's been good.

May well, 5 day break

s**t I would have loved Garcia to have the confidence to have a crack at goal
