Game Day: Storm v Manly [Round 16, 2020]

[Jethro]

Restarts - Melb 3 / Manly 0 at HT
Are we ever going to get more restarts than the opposition in a first half ?
NO !!!

Incorrect. It is actually Melb 4 / Manly 1 at HT.
I am watching and recording the FOX coverage and I rewind to see which tackle the set restarts occur.

 

[BOZO]

Haha true.. but maybe he needs to pick some new donkeys

The game has become faster and we need speed out wide to keep up with the pace

Seriously, DCE cannot direct this team around the park.
The first half needed composure and direction.
Until this happens under a new playmaker, we are also rans.
Cust is rubbish, 14 back up player at best right now.
The team is not bad, they just have no effing idea how to play patient and build.
Last tackle plays RUBBISH all year

DCE looks great when everything is going well. As soon as the pressure is on and composure is needed, he fails miserably. Under pressure, teams need structures and leaders to hold it together. We seem to lack this big time. While we compete with plenty of heart it is not enough when the heat is on. We pull out the odd win with that grit and determination alone, but lose more often than not. Bellamy is stark contrast to this. They have structure, and Bellamy has his players believing in it and committed to it

Why does Sironen get a free pass. He is atrocious. Had centre and winger unmarked at one stage but went back inside.

Because Siro wasn't the subject of the post I was replying to. But his not passing the ball is an issue we've discussed in these pages before.

 

[Lyonstomenzies]

We made 500m and Melbourne made 900m

You cant win making that many yards in a game again ya team like Melbourne.

DCE can’t make the forwards run harder or better.

Yeah with their 1st tackle on the 30-40meter line. Then if we are near their line a bomb to nowhere. Smith kicking game is killing us. DCE kicking game ineffective, poor chases, no direction.

His kicking is keeping us from getting dominanted in field position. That last bomb, where were the chasers? Every other kick has been spot on. Not the reason why we are losing. Need some stronger running and more intent. Quicker play the balls. Some aggression. An off load etc.

I agree. Was in space a few times and needed better

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

Agree totally, he is a hog

Dad made a nice commercial or two and was a solid performer on Roy & HG.

Most of Fulton’s key recruitments leave me cold.

 

[Tomay]

Wow we pressured a kicker, first time in weeks!

 

[Lyonstomenzies]

Parker puts pressure on the kicker and look what happens.

He might not be a match winner but he’s better that half the current squad.

 

[Tomay]

2nd bombed try. We could have the lead.

 

[joeboy]

Jake woulda scored cust!

 

[HoldenV8]

Damn Cust. Jake had that one on toast, then you came in and bombed it.

 

[Disco]

Cust not having a great game

 

[Scorpio]

Cust has not had a good game

Matt Ballin has aged 10 years in that coaches box

 

[HoldenV8]

Jorge with great hands again.....on the bloody 1st.

Cust is having a Barry Crocker

 

[SeaEaglez]

Cumulative is becoming a liability

 

[joeboy]

**** we are dumb, Just avoid Jorge, he can’t do anything unless it’s simple and he is rough at that too

 

[Jerry1]

Fmd.. rabble..

 

[KOMORI]

Oh ffs..
