R21 v ADL Thu 27 Feb 9:30pm SS3

Bit harsh - think he's done alright considering he's had 0 support and he's up against one of the most mobile attacking players in the league; not to mention the fact he's quite obviously built like a centre back.

124 pass attempts -87 completed -not good enough

Why all the blame? Adelaide have been playing shit good football in the last few weeks. At the moment they hit us with their intensity and accurate passing. Bit like what we did to them when they came to play against us here a few weeks ago. See what happens later in the game. If they score early another one, that would be an uphill battle, but if we score instead then it's a whole different kettle of fish.

70% pass completion rate. I know Adelaide been pressing high but just not good enough.

2-0, manageable. think we can do this.

Hicks injured again? His engine out there would have been some help

nutcracker on now

Boyd was a bit like Puppet Ronnie tonight...

Really impressed with Adelaide.  They look like a really well coached team.  That's not a sleight on us, we've got some good players and we look really well motivated, but I like Adelaide's structure.  When they get it going it's hard to defend against, they spread the play so wide to both sides of the pitch and probe for gaps.  Unfortunate for us we didn't get to play them when they were shit!

We had Muscat , Lia, Hernandez, Cunningham, Huysegems all playing Straight  down the middle, so its no surprise Adelaide have chucked it wide and found gaps. God knows how Boyd was supposed to do anything about it.

The midfield has been playing like they did against the Heart.....they need to close down quicker and get onto of their players.....its leaving our wide guys too exposed. Whats happened to our passing?.....they just need to slow it down and keep possession for a while.

Must say...Adelaide look a class act.....they move and pass really quickly. If we don't seriously pull our finger out this could get embarrassing. Still we have proven we can score goals...if we can score first second half???????

Cheeky old NRL chucking their season membership ads into our football game.

Who is on the subs bench tonight? I joined after the first 15 minutes.

Not that I really know enough . . . but- seems we are playing too narrow, so gettin beaten on flanks, and not tight enough on marking, so they turning and beating us too easily. still time to redeem ourselves.

Caira seems to have a bloody good first touch- first half controlled some fast long balls really well I though.

Its clear that our defensive game in the mids is pants without Riera.  I also prefer to see Manny at L/R Back then DM.

Who is on the bench for us?

They dont respond well to pressure. We should go after them.

Curio knocked out??

Manny getting loose with his elbows yet again.

NRL he would be on report and get 4-6 weeks. Broken jaw?

So we're just trying to take them out since we can't beat them now?

That doesn't look good from Manny.

Who is on the bench for us?

"Straight red" lol gtfo of here 

Tit for tat elbows!

Jeez, another elbow goes flying in. Fallon-esque

Caira was playing okay I thought - disappointing for him

Game over. Great goal.

All over !!

They get hurt, play is stopped, we get hurt and its play on.
