Rnd 10 Match Day Thread. Sydney V North Melb. SCG. 7.50 pm.

He is getting lots of the ball tonight but butchering it time and time again. I like him but he needs to improve a lot with his disposals.

A poor 2nd quarter there, we just didn't ever get going. A goal at the end to Buddy would have been nice. That last goal we conceded in particular was very, very sloppy - why were there no swans behind the contest (Doing our usual lets allllll jump for it instead of someone staying down for the ball on the ground).

They weren't behind the contest because they all went up for the marking contest, leaving 2 North players free.

That was a bad error by Lloyd in the 1st Q. Should have given off to Mitchell.

My point still stands though, they should not have all gone up for that - we do that far too often for my liking.

Yep, that stunk.It was as if he couldn't see the huge person standing directly in front of him. How the heck does that happen? An under 12 should have been embarrassed. Shocking.

[crackedactor]

what disgraceful umpiring, Tippett bumps Brown in a ruck duel and its a free kick?? WTF? In front of goal as well!!!

[Nico]

I can't fault Jones' attack on the footy, but he has a bit of work to do with his disposals.

Jones, Mills and McVeigh's clearances have been poor. Jones running through the centre kicked it wide. Why? When he had players deep. Mills didn't kick through the footy that allowed an intercept. Any chance someone mans up Ziebell at centre bounces. Lot of work to do still.

[frankee]

so they take Goldy off so its Sinclair v Brown.

[Blue Sun]

Buddy trying to do to much there, only 15 points in it now. Same amount of scoring shots, even contest.

[Swans500]

And it gets worse...Still goes back to the turnover by Lloyd....Should have been way up by quarter time...

[ugg]

Their midfield got on top that quarter. They won inside 50s 19-9

[treespirit]

Frees inside 50 is the Roos best player. Sloppy effort.

[Blue Sun]

Midfield needs to step it up. North are zoning off well outside their 50. Horse needs to come up with a solution to that.

Kennedy and Tippett have been excellent in tight. Our defence has largely been on top. Buddy, Hanners and Heeney have been threatening to blow the game open. I reckon they might in the second half.
