    Not watching - what did he do?

      Sledging can only motivate them. Keep going Luke & play the ball.

        Parker sledged Shiel for going a bit soft - I like it - mental toughness very important.

        It's not like a racial thing. Players on the ground are fair game verbally I reckon.

          He mocked Dylan Shiel who coughed up the ball, allowing him to score. A pit of pantomime with shrugging shoulders and swerving the head (conveying you weren't strong enough).

            He implied Shiel hadn’t gone hard enough at the contest. And Shiel is soft.

            To me, that was play of the day so far. Chad smashed him in the tackle, Rowbottom went in for the quick, smart handball out and Parker went on to go bang from 50. It was emblematic of our midfield going into beast mode.

              This is too easy. By what I have seen so far They are as bad a team as we have played this year.
              We are better at contested balls and negating their midfielders well and we are not allowing any of their runners from half back run through easily.
              If we are going to not get the foot off the pedal we should score another 60 points from here on. And if we convert more of our entries we can score 80+.

                Had to be more to that strange interaction - wonder what the story is behind it. Unlike Parker to do that.

                Much better intensity this week across the board - good to see. Bombers have been very ordinary, and we really should have the game sealed already by now, but so much better then we saw last week.

                  Agree SwanSand - we really need to push on in this 2nd half - no relaxing.

                    The wish is for him to be dropped.

                      I loved it....but he went on with it too long.

                        Are you talking about the same player I’ve been watching?

                          Dylan Shiel: 10 possessions, metres gained -8.

                              He has been OK - glad he is not taking the kick ins

                                Gulden's short passing has been horrible. As good as he has been he has to get this out of his game.

                                No wonder Bell gets rubbished with that nothing kick to Heeney.
