Non-Lions discussion 2022

[martinson]

Am I mistaken or is this game not as physical as the practice match we played against the dogs ?

 

[scoman]

It's catching. Both teams don't have to dispose of the ball properly now.

 

[martinson]

Geez. Petracca's just on another level.

 

[Saucery]

In the old days Schache would've been automatically dragged.

Just no awareness at all . And too slow.

Seriously seems to always pick the worst option, hospital kicks and handballs, no body strength. Surprised he gets a game but..... well I got nothing???

He just lacks intent and seemingly confidence.

Always looks half pie.

Always looks half pie.

The games just a bit too quick for him at this level.

 

[Hollow Knight]

I’d have serious trouble cheering for Bailey Fritch if he played for us.

 

[scoman]

What's that famous spray about someone being useless in the ruck?

Feel like Beveridge might be saying something similar in the box. Hate being an arse but Schache is not at the level.

Edit: Pitman was pathetic in the ruck today.

 

[Elixuh]

I’d have serious trouble cheering for Bailey Fritch if he played for us.

I could get around him if he wore a paper bag on his heads. It’s that smug face and the haircut!

 

[Dalions]

Some of the kicking in this game has been atrocious.

 

[martinson]

I don't care what Fritsch looks like. He's just a really smart player who knows where to go to get it and how to finish off.

They've got a lot of ammo have Melbourne. A shame they now have the confidence to go with it.

 

[Section 5]

4 straight unanswered goals to Demons
Then 8 straight unanswered from Dogs
Then 6 straight unanswered from Demons
That is very unusual in the modern game

 

[martinson]

The way the commentators suck up to Bont makes me want to puke.

 

[scoman]

Hodge and BT trolling Schache now.

 

[martinson]

Pet hate.

Ruckmen giving away dumb free kicks in the ruck in scoring range. Or anywhere really.

Just let them get the hit out and you're still 50/50 from there most times.

 

[martinson]

Dogs have butchered a few chances tonight.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Dogs have kicked themselves out of it. Some terrible skills/decision making.

What was Bailey Williams thinking?

 

[Lion_LegacyXL]

Dogs haven't been that good tonight other than their sudden 2nd quarter momentum surge

 

[martinson]

Hard to stop myself getting into Josh but why on earth didn't he just kick the goal instead of handball it to someone under the pump ?

He had plenty of time. Just frustrating.

 

[MSB ROYS]

Game over Dogs.

 

[Toffee Lion]

Bit worried we won't be able to close the gap to Melbourne. Hopefully the boys prove me wrong.

Shades of Ben Simmons?

We have way more scoring power than the Dogs.

 

[Toffee Lion]

We have way more scoring power than the Dogs.

Hopefully about 5 goals more power.

I think we are easily a 3-5 goal better side than the Bulldogs when the umps dont influence the result and we are near our best.
