NEAFL discussion thread

These two commentators really are very good compared to those who typically commentate the Sydney located games. I know a similar comment was made two weeks ago during the first half of the Lions game, but it really is a pleasure to listen to two people who've done their research on the players and who then just call the game as it unfolds.

Yes, the other BarTV commentators, sounded like they were commentating from a bar tv, after arriving in the bar a couple of hours earlier.
And by the way, if they didn't mention it on the coverage, there's a fairly brisk southerly blowing up here today, which advantaged the Suns in the first quarter. Possibly worth two or three goals.

As soon as I've finished watching the Blue Jays lose I'll tune in. Sigh.

Bit of a nothing 2nd qtr. Swans defenders seem to think it is mandatory to handball to a player in a WORSE position than themselves.

Cameron is a bit of a disappointment and Aliir not doing a lot either.

Aliir's done okay in the ruck but shown nothing to suggest he would be a viable key forward.

I don't know about the rest of the RWOers but I am really getting sick of seeing all these young key position forward types that look really impressive, move well and can take a decent mark BUT when it comes to the most crucial skill, kicking and converting in front of goal, they are a 50/50 chance or worse!

This is how you win games! Kicking goals! And it seems once again two young draftees of ours are all at seas once they are lining up in front of the big sticks (I'm sure I don't need to explain who I'm talking about).

It boggles my mind that so many of these kids today coming into the AFL struggle with this skill. It should be the bread and butter of all key forwards coming through the junior ranks in practicing and perfecting the art of goal kicking!

I just don't get it!!!

Aliir now trying his hand as a ruck-rover

Cameron has improved as the game has gone on.

Rose reported for striking according to the stream.

I think you were a little harsh on him in the first half. He's been solid all game

Yeah you are probably right. I was more looking at his ruck work but he has taken a lot of marks and kicked 2 I think.

Missing some gettable chances here.

5.13 sums it up for the Swans - bloody horrible kicking for goal.

Been like that all game - we have done well given the overall lack of listed players and 'top up top ups'. But we could easily be winning with better kicking. GCS have wasted opportunities too however.

The commentary team has just reminded me that this game represents a kind of reunion of an old favourite partnership of ours - Malceski and Kennelly.

Good effort by the team in the end I feel - with some better kicking, could of got a win.
