Don't be under any misapprehensions here, we were horrible in the first half. They applied some serious pressure and we once again fumbled & bumbled. Kicking for goal was atrocious as was the delivery into the forward line, same issues that cost us the game against the Crows.Dunno that the whole side was bad in the first half, yes many were bad but they were admirably led by Charlie who had a mare in the first half. Worst half of footy I have seen from him in a long while. Again from my vantage point, the opposition moved it far too easily from the one end of the ground to the other. I commented to my mate and Junior G2C at half time that we haven't been hard to play against this year. We completely reversed that in the second half and we were the ruthless and bold Carlton from last year.
The fact that Voss had to send Curnow deep into defence late in the second to try and stem the bleeding was a tell-tale sign of howbad we really were.
After half-time, we started to apply the pressure and bit by bit we edged our way back into the contest and as our confidence grew, we started to run all over them.
It was a very good win and one we just had to register after last week's letdown.
Lots of good players for the second half, way too many passengers, frauds & flat-footed onlookers in the first.
Somehow, our guys have to find that ferocious gear from the first bounce instead of halfway through the match.
Must acknowledge that sensational feat of pure athleticism from the Giants defender Aleer who spoilt McKay in a marking contest after an incredible leap that came from nowhere.
Bring on next week please.
That 2nd qtr was frustrating. We were getting the same number of shots but they kicked goals while we missed easy shots. They did get their's much easier than they should of though. Half way through the 3rd qtr everything changed. Like falling 20pts behind woke them up. The pressure rating the 2nd half of that 3rd qtr went from 150s during the 2nd qtr to 242, which is brutal.At half time, 50pts of their 58 were scored from TO. I think we tidied that up, the whole midfield group got on top and the rest is history.
What play do you think typified our game today?One play repeated over and over again, the number 9 cracking in with 3 players hanging off him and getting out to number 18 who drove it inside F50.
TDK front and centre crumb. Snapping truly on his right 🤫
Reckon Cincotta can take his place and do the job, I dont see ZW as vital to our team winning.I wouldnt both in our side TBH
Telehealth consultation and an e-script for anti-viral drugs. Old farts are a high risk category!Dunno if the rules have changed but Mrs G2G had ankle surgery last year and had to be minimum 7 weeks post covid for the surgeon to agree to perform it.
The doc said that it’s quite common for COVID sufferers to get significantly worse after five days, even with mild symptoms. 😳
Ms DJC's surgery has been postponed for a couple of weeks.
I have developed a bit of a sniffle and, as Ms DJC is scheduled to have an operation on Friday, I thought I should do a RAT; positive!Wishing you and Ms DJC all the best and a speedy recovery.
It will be interesting to see what the selection folk do with the rucks this week.Surely not
It will tell a bit of a story as to how committed they are to the "Two ruck solution"
Hate to say it, but can't see how we can win this. We struggle with fast-running sides, and GWS have that in buckets.I too cant see how we can beat GWS but guess what, our recent history shows we dont give and we find a way.
The one glint of optimism is Harry and Charlie with no Sam Taylor. But then again, I thought they would kick big bags against Freo and Adelaide for similar reasons......
