Shinboner Apology thread

[Dirko]

Yeah...but can they do alright up on the Gold Coast

[Dutchy]

Both teams were winners
BUT
Both teams are losers in my views.
Both are bringing the game into disrepute with thier over zealous flooding
It was a disgrace watching the above games
Both had several players deep in defence
Players had to criss crosss, kick backwards from both teams
Both games were a combination of soccer and rugby zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
I thought the goalposts were on the wings.....

Short term victorys.

Long term the players burn out playing this shitstyle and FAIL
Unless you win 15 games a year [ala SS+AC] its a waste of time playing this footy.

You accused the Kangas of flooding and playing defensive footy, but they are one of the highest scoring teams and are the No. 1 long kick team in the AFL...too many are thinking about the Roos last year and not this year...

Last night they havd 20 Inside 50's int he first 1/4...the average is 12 per 1/4...

[Dutchy]

Why should any of us apologise for thinking the Roos would be shite?

They will probably struggle to play finals football.

many picked them for the spoon....

[Hondo]

There's been too much bagging of playing styles all round IMO. From what I see week to week all teams at times are flooding, dropping nos behind the ball, etc. The difference is that some teams are being more effective in their forward movement which, at the end of the day, is what it's all about - what you do with the ball once you have it. The Roos are obviously going with the long kicking approach to jump the lines and it seems to be effective for them. But it's ludicrous that people have labelled teams after round 4 only to eat humble pie 2 weeks later .... and it will go on all season if us experts keep coming out with generalised 'pearls' based on observations of a couple of weeks.

Referring to the round 4 clashes
Besides I posted how ATTACKING they were against GE in round 5
can you also quote that [the one where i commentated the 4 quarters]
_____________________________________________________________________
I have already defended the roos
i have stated thier playing list is as good as AC
I have remarked how they are the 9 th best team in the comp with the 16th worst draw
I have said they played a good brand of footy in round 5
Apology not

Go you Shinbonners

[mighty_tiger_79]

lets all be honest here in the past 2 weeks both geelong and sydney thought they would give away 5 goal+ headstart and try to run the kanga's down and both were UNLUCKY not to do so...

[Footy Chick]

Matty Campbell is a super star.

**sings*** "Ma-tee Camp-bell has no knees, doo-dah, doo-dah"

There is always one side a year that has some suprises !!!

BS MT79,

The Roos lost there first 3 games by very close margins...who to? Collingwood, Port and Hawks....now have a look where those teams are on the ladder....reasonable form in hindsight I would think

[mal]

The Kangaroosted will become Kangarooted by September
Plating at the DOOM and playing at the COAST will slow them down
Pity as they are playing very well

well the Hawks is the best of the teams you mentioned, the other 2 teams are going ok, but nothing special.

it will be interesting to see sydney and the cats re-match of the Gold Coast roos later in the season, im sure both wont be giving away 5 goal starts........

2nd 4th and 5th at the moment....

also noticed that the Roos attracted 27,000 to the Dome while playing an interstate team while Melbourne attracted 16,000....

food for thought...

ladder positions at this stage dont mean as much as they would later in the year.

I thought Sydney would have attracted at least half of that 27,000

Let me tell you - the roar for North's match sealers was huge.

I love your point about Melbourne because THERE is a club with no constituency.

Shows how many Dees supporters have jumped off the bandwagon.

Also, Port are travelling quite well. Have beaten Freo, Collingwood and now Melb away. Even though two of those are struggling a bit, an away win in Perth and two in Melbourne is a good start. Second on the ladder is better than what was expected after six rounds too. Playing Richmond too this week, so could be a belting.
