R11 Sydney v Carlton at the SCG, The Marn Grook Game - Match Thread

[dejavoodoo44]

We're leading the tackles 12-6 and Carlton are the only ones getting holding the ball frees.

Wicks!

Heeney playing on Cripps.

I like Wicks energy....have missed that and we need energy. Go Swans!

Such a fast game …. Very watchable .

Great 100m gut run from Wicks for that goal.

Four goals and only one behind. New world record!

Much better last 5 minutes or so. Better pressure and cleaner ball use.

Just got to do this for four quarters now.

Mark and kick has always been the strong points of McLean's game.

Yes, a full four quarters tonight! No fade outs.

Tackling has improved since I last posted. It makes such a difference. Plus the perceived pressure causes errors.

Getting some clearances and a few frees helps too.

Good first quarter. Pressure good, tackling improved......leads to positive things.

Interesting game so far. Two contrasting styles.

Fear Carlton will have too much run for us over the match, but don't mind the way we are trying to play. And least we have kicked straight so far haha!

Well, two anyway.....to their five. Let's hope that evens up a bit.

We’re still letting a couple of tackles slip, but our defensive pressure is way up. It’ll need to stay that way given their forwards look so dangerous, but so far so good.

And love the rotation of Parks and Heeney on Cripps.
