Discussion 2023 Round 5: Team & In Game Discussion

[AngryAnt]

Bombers have been really impressive today.

 

[Miller is a Steele]

How is Ridley meant to score when he gets 2 points for an intercept mark?

 

[Maccas marvels]

Dees getting toasted by the umpires…and I don’t follow either team…
the missed bump with head high contact to jordon and then how was that holding against melksham?

 

[Maccas marvels]

Dees no goal for 55 minutes…..been a while since we have seen that…

[quite ironic]

Setterfield had a good quarter but still not up to 70.

How is Ridley meant to score when he gets 2 points for an intercept mark?

Agreed, he has been good today, seems underscored.

 

[ACmonster]

Feel that Oliver is a bit lucky to have scraped his way back to a not-catastrophic score. Not having any real impact while his team is getting smashed.

 

[7/11]

Would like to see Chandler at least equal JVR here. If both top 60, they’ve done their job.

How is Ridley meant to score when he gets 2 points for an intercept mark?

Yeah, thought he’s been a little underscored. Not really many mistakes and a few intercept possessions. Hopefully he sneaks up to 95-105 in the last quarter as Melbourne get more desperate for inside 50’s.

 

[Woodsey]

Has the sub been used in every game this year? Didn’t realise Mackenzie was sub and used him to loop Phillips and Baker. Might be safer to just put Baker on field?

 

[Rumbler]

Hopefully another 20 points each from Chandler and JvR in this last quarter

 

[Tamuhawk]

Has the sub been used in every game this year? Didn’t realise Mackenzie was sub and used him to loop Phillips and Baker. Might be safer to just put Baker on field?

Without checking. I'm almost 100% sure it has been used in every single game since it's no longer the medi sub and more of a tactical sub.

Yes Baker onfield 100%.

 

[FirstTimer]

Is that umpire number 38 on the Essendon payroll , mind you Essendon playing well but gee getting away with murder which brings confidence

17 disposals (14 kicks), 6 marks, 5 intercept possessions, 88% DE, 1 clanger, 0 tackles, 4 CP.
A little understandable given the tackle and CP count but 63:69 DT:SC ratio is a bit harsh.

 

[Maccas marvels]

For that free to Oliver ( against setterfield) brayshaw took the advantage…does Oliver still get points for the free? Or is it null and void ?

 

[AngryAnt]

No idea how Ridley is getting only +2s for these intercept marks when someone like Stewart clocks up +10s for them.

 

[toxic]

As a current non Oliver owner I've watched his score closely in this game (want to get him in of course when possible)

Possessions versus score increase/decrease

I think he's missed the target 12-15 times (both handball and kick) either gone to ground or opposition and he's gone +3 or +5 for the majority of Ineffective Possessions

I'll need to rematch the game, but the Oliver score to the "eye test" is farcical

Yep another +2 then, joke

 

[xanderdom]

Don't look now but Draper's about to ton up for a second match in a row.

He only scored three tons last season, twice in a row only once.

Interesting...
