R16 away @ Adelaide

[Scotty]

We do an amazing job of letting a game get away, especially when we have the advantage.

It's time to focus and keep a clean sheet.

AUFC should have had a player sent for that elbow to Matty's head on the ground.....heck, do that in NRL and you'd go on report

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

Good by Kennedy, closed the angle down well - covered our defensive lapse there.

Our defence is way too leaky at the moment, AU are getting away from us too easy

 

[BrisRecky]

Why does Hoole always do this? Has an absolute shocker then every once in a while comes up with a goal like that. Weird player

Must be how he keeps his job

 

[Big Al]

Wife not really watching. Lifts head up. Goes who was that (after stuff up). Then Goes for f**k sake Hoole and back to her phone

We are giving Goodwin too much space, he's going to punish us if we don't cover him.

Nobody is protecting Kennedy at these corners. The goalkeeper should not be marking a striker. Juniors know better than that.

 

[BrisRecky]

Have we really been playing well ? Lots of fkn turnovers

I think I've decided that Matty doesn't get away with murder the way people often seem to think... He cops a serious treatment game after game without anyone getting sanctioned and he doles it out a bit as well... Still wish he wouldn't claw at the opposition in defence though

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

Was that Rowles with that slide? That was worrying - terrible slide, asking for a penalty

All things considered I think we've been worthy of the lead... Defence is a shambles right now though but it's still a lot better than say two months ago. Are we playing well? I don't know but we're not exclusively shit...

Starting to? People have this idea that Simon is a real dirty player but he's not.
At worst he could be described as 'grubby' - minor fouls, and if there's a flare-up he's always in somebody's face. He doesn't go out to hurt anybody, doesn't do anything nasty, which is why he has...what, 1 red card? And personally I think he's playing cleaner, except for the 5 YC suspension already

Somebody who is as involved as he is will always pick up a lot of minor fouls though.

People just love to hate him.

 

[soccer mad]

Playing dangerously at the moment

 

[Scotty]

Get Hoole off now!

 

[tim...]

Plenty of rocks and diamonds performances so far today. Feels like only a matter of time

 

[soccer mad]

Hoole off now what a lazy bastard

Hmmph.

 

[nebakke]

Yeah, commentators are not wrong... Shoud've been a change to shake it up 5 minutes ago... I dunno wtf they're thinking on our bench...

 

[soccer mad]

Could see that coming Mulvey should of made some changes

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

Remember what I was saying about nobody protecting the keeper? If somebody was there, then Isaias would have been marked.
Because we don't have a defender on the keeper, Isaias was unmarked. Which is why he could step until the middle of the box and receive the ball unpressured.

Piss-poor, schoolyard defending mistakes.
