CONS

UMPIRES
MOORE
Uncontested marks to North in our forward 50 from mindless kicks
Levi’s efforts were embarrassing today. So many half hearted contests

Pros
Feeling a little flat after a wins. Means expectations are now greater.
Plow was fantastic again
Weiters: fast developing a man crush on him. Just about the best backman in the game
Kennedy and Setters both very good.
Newnes and Gibbo solid
Simmo's desperation

I'll do cons when I have a clearer head but one is obviously Moore. He is the spud of spuds. Must never play again.

Got the 4 points which is all we were after. Wasn’t pretty but we go to 4-4 and keep pace with the 8.

Thought Plowman was great for the second week in a row.

Pitto did a good job on Goldy. Much better than last week.

Cunners key as one of the only guys to take his opportunities.

Setterfield, Kennedy and Walsh all solid through the middle.

Take the win. On to Perth for next week.

Won by 7 behinds, about four of which could have or should have been kicked.

I thought Newnes played his best game for us today.
Cripps has to be injured. he hasn't had a dominating performance all year. Put that weight back on.
Pittonet started well, got well beaten in the second and then fought back hard.
Cunningham is starting to show us what he can do and he is finally stringing games together.
SPS needs to get more footy. (still)
Murphy was solid.
Casboult is not playing as well as he has.
Mitch is a liailityin his current form.
Eddie unsighted.
Jones and Weiters both won their positions.
Plow solid
Willo scratchy
Walsh inconsistent.
Martin flashy until the end where he was solid.
Kennedy good in the forst and solid after that.
Moore was a witch's hat.
Gibbo OK. You always get your 90% from hm.
Ed solid.

Brownlow votes will all go to NM players. The umps didn't realise we were out there for the last 10 minutes.

Take the win. Move on. W can beat Hawks but will the enigmatic Harry be back? Will TDK finally get a run? Will Cripps get up? Will Mitch?

Wwll done in the end but these close games where we play like shite and just get up are going to send me to the grave early.

We would have lost that in previous years.

We did what we had to do in the end. To win when we have a 'down' week is a terrific sign.

I thought our best were Simpson, Kennedy, Murphy and Plowman.

Cripps battled hard, I thought the umpires had it in for him.

We move on, win next week and it's 4 out of the last 5.

Get Harry back in the team, rest some other players and push on.

We won. Not going to whinge. :grin:

Setterfield clearance/contested possession rate up there again.

Nice to see Kennedy hitting the scoreboard.

Sam Walsh very good.

Thought Weitering and Jones were good.

PLOWMAN was good.

Pathetic camerawork from Foxfooty.

Spud bar to file a lawsuit against Callum Moore for defamation

Also this new holding the ball interpretation has almost made the game unwatchable. At the very least it’s made it hard to enjoy

Good sides find a way to win when they're not playing well. A late out, players injured, others down on form. I'll take that result every day of the week and twice on Sunday.

Adam Chatfield · **Posted:** Sat Jul 25, 2020 3:52 pm

Our game isn’t as focused on cripps doing everything now, though he hasn’t been at his best still a very good contributor.

This beats the hell out of honourable losses

Curnow v good tagging Simpkin, keeping him to 11 possies. And no influence. Thought pittonet was excellent against goldy

Even our best in the past was usually a loss.
Great to bank a win playing well below our best.
Boundary rider Lynch terrible. Adds nothing to the broadcast. Surely it’s not that hard to do your job and give us an indication what injury Gov had?

Should've played Honey or De Koning.

Con:

Huddo used to be a good commentator. he's been dragged down a few levels.

Worst umpired game I've seen in years.
Got the points, but it was a disappointing win after last weeks effort.
Moore is a dud, time to bring in TDK if McGovern or McKay are injured.

the improvement is the fact that im flat after a win ...

i am not one to question players, but stuggling to understand what Moore brings to the table ...

the rest was abit meh, no real stand outs, people doing a few good things but overall, just an ugly win, but a win is a win. We arent coming off a barn storming season and any win is a good win really.

MPH78 · **Posted:** Sat Jul 25, 2020 3:59 pm

Winning ugly beats losing ugly. Happily take the 4 points.

We were pretty poor after qtr time. Plenty to work on.

But we do get reamed by the umps. Honestly it’s [REDACTED]. Cripps in particular is the least protected star in the game. Gets molested at most contests and it’s mostly frees against.

Looking forward to watching in person next week.

Thought Pitto Setters Weiters were great.
