Brisbane v Sydney

[BRISWAN]

I know 17 teams that would have Jetta in a heart beat

He did a good job Saturday night including some great off the ball "team work"

The man is just evolving?..Go Jetts !!!!!

I text a few of my regulars at QT about how Derrickx was making it hard for me to defend him this week, he was just God awful.

Then as a few have mentioned, from the time Myke went down he grew a leg. Maybe it dawned on him there and then that he was in the team regardless for the next month and freed him up mentally?

I think the key was playing against a very young team, which at times, resembled nothing more than witches hats.

The good news last night is our better players are starting to warm into the season.

Lloyd is showing the sublime skills and decision making that the ressie watchers have enjoyed.

As long as we learn to how use the tall timber when they return we'll be in very good shape.

Only negative is our skill under pressure is no where near the level of the Hawks. If we improve that I'm confident we'll be there at the pointy end.

I guess with the month coming up we'll know exactly where we are.
Competitive effort against the Hawks and wins against Essendon and the Cats are a must I think.

Jake Lloyd deserves a Rising Star nomination. It would represent the supreme irony, noting that this was the Star Wars "May the 4th be with you" promotion weekend.

Even more ironic, if in years to come, he goes to Collingwood.

Sorry but all these Star Wars references are completely list on me. Could someone please explain what Jake Lloyd and Collingwood had to do with the movie franchise?

+1. Phew, thanks Jewels, I thought I must be the only RWOer to have no idea about all these Star Wars references.

I'm not completely au fait with the Star Wars saga either, but I do know that Jake Lloyd is the name of the actor that played Anakin Skywalker. Anakin later becomes Darth Vader who falls and moves to 'The Dark Side of the Force', hence I presume Scott's reference to ending up at Collingwood....

According to Eddie, Star Wars is the second most recognizable brand on earth- just pipped by Collingwood.

Also because of yesterday's date: May the fourth be with you.

Just spoil the movie for those that haven't seen it all!!!
And yes the Dark Side reference is correct. Let's hope that never happens!!

It was an odd sort of game, but my biggest concern remains our very ordinary skills. We are simply not slick nor clean and its going to hurt us against the good teams. Play like we did last night and we will get beat comfortably by the dawks next week.

Not sure about this. Watched both hawks & cats games over the weekend and whilst we were certainly not very clean for the first 1 and a bit qtrs we weren't much different to Geelong against Richmond who coughed it up time and again in the second half. If it wasn't for Richmonds total ineptness in the first half, Geelong would have lost this game. Hawthorn on the other hand looked pretty slick but you can do that when you have no opposition. In short I don't think the opposition are that far ahead of us in the slickness stakes. I thought we looked pretty good in the second half against Brisbane

Not this time. From Verdi's "The Fourthes of Destiny."
