ALM R14 v Brisbane Cant

[BrisRecky]

Ben Cahn will be much better when he gets to slot in a few of his own purchases, but his version of OkonBall last night slightly buggered us...slightly, it wasnt the slapping i expected but 3 points is 3 points its gonna be a bit gooder when Ryan, Ronald and Angel are on the pitch at the same time and clicking with Nizzy....as for Koul , his been well and truly ruined in Germany , can never figure out why, when a team scout/manager sees a guy on you tube and go "fark moi lets get him his brilliant" , and then change everything and then bench him cause he aint like his video package...ANYWAY....crowds at bluetongue have been shit since season 4/5, its just the Coast I think , it can rain on wednesday and that stops people going to a game at 7.pm on a satdee cause they gotta get the 10am train to hornsby on tuesday...I dont get it either

Controversial opinion but I have no problem with concurrent games (time zone relevant) from Dec - Feb, basically school hols. Its the hottest damn time of the year, play games as late as possible to draw the best crowd and get the best football possible. Play Thurs nights too.

Having Perth and 2*NZ teams means that alternate time slots are available if the broadcaster actually cares.

I don’t like concurrent games but it is tolerable if it helps avoid the heat and there’s no NZ or Perth home games to take alternative timeslots. There should always be at least one next season though which will help. Need the fixtures to be on point next season.

Great to see Brandtman get a debut even if only for 2 mins.

Great win and again great to win when not at our best - championship team material. How amazing is it to say that after losing half the team (our stars too) and our coaching pair that put it all together 4 weeks before seasons start!

Only had a couple of touches but I said straight away that he knows what he's doing.

One to watch.

My initial take on Barcellos when we signed him (from the highlights packages I was able to find) was that when he gets the ball he has some sublime skills but seems to forget anyone else is on the field - all about trucks, taking on his man and step overs rather than working in a system. The fact his highlights had minimal passing or assists for a wide player was an alarm bell - and last night kind of showed the same. Amazing ball control but seems to put the blinkers on, run first, gets a rush of blood and shoots early.

What I’m excited about is that’s kind of how I saw Torres when he got here as well - and MJ has coached him brilliantly. I hope we can do the same with Barcellos.

 

[Ironbark]

Yeah I think MJ will school him in the team play for sure

i was observing cahn and zads .zads seemed to be , impinging on cahn's personal space .
could be an over read . but watch this space .

I enjoyed that game.

First half was pretty even but we sat too deep for patches. Torres should have buried a couple and if Alou was a bit more on his toes we could have been out of sight. Another glaring omission is we never have a player attacking the back post.

2nd half we lost our way after the subs and Bris should have scored when we completely failed to pick up but then we started to click and Faz and Torres were carving them up down the flank. Torres's goal was worth the admission price alone.

Played some lovely Football at times. We are building nicely. New Brazilian looks exciting.

Atmosphere was good for 6080 crowd.

3pts Angel
2pts Faz
1pts Niz and Danny

Also very impressed with Brian and Max who had an impressive games.

7.45 is a shit time for our crowd. My mate who's been really keen this season didn't come. No reason other than its a shit time.

Washing his hair?

Agree. Looked confident. Impressive cameo.

Nutters are not aware of other's personal space.

Maybe, wouldn't take long though, he hasn't got much left!! Said he'd come if the ferry to the footy was on. I called them and they said they only got 5 bookings last time so they weren't running it. They upped the price to $25, might be why.

I hope it runs for the Sydney game, definitely keen.

3pts Tulio

Now that is an impressive feat.

I was in bay 4 and noticed the same. We kept yelling at Row-Z to get back in his technical area. At times he and Cahn were up shouting at the same time and this had to be confusing to players.

 

[gemkayem]

Zad is 100% ready to pounce if it doesn’t work out with cahn.

I can’t believe how many people are objecting about the 7:45 time slot! Everybody complains when it’s 5pm they can’t get there from sport / work, and 9 times out of 10 in Jan it’s too hot!!!

It’s the prime time slot. We don’t get enough of them. Fair enough to call it late on a Sunday night or midweek, but Saturday?

It's the Coast. A culture of just moaning.
I think it's far simpler. Quality of opposition or local interest
7.45pm on a Saturday needs to be Sydney, Wanderers or the scum.
I think a lot of people thought it's an easy win, why bother

 

[Huddo]

I think the numbers can start to be put down to the recession, just f**ked, in Erina fair, for a Sunday in school holidays it's really quiet.
