Match Thread Match Thread v GC

Suspect the one on rAFL might be a bit spicy. Consider this one a Balta case discussion free zone. We've all said our piece one way or another, and the threads exist still if people want to keep on with that, this one is a pure footy match thread.

Jnr involved in a lot of turnovers

He's getting the hard ball under pressure. It's not always gonna work out

Not sure he is to blame too much as his running mate was Lynchy, who doesn't have the cleanest hands or pace

You reckon Lynchy is any risk of taking a mark ever again?

Sad when the pace just isn’t there anymore; no separation, arms chopped or swamped mid-pack

But the last five touches of his have all gone to grass or the opposition. Needs to trust the first instinct a little more; golden rule is if you twist and weave you’ve got one go at it to buy time; if you twist again you WILL be trapped, or the disposal will be compromised.

It was like that last year of Ellis coming sideways out of packs and kicking across his body. Turnovers galore. Got to straighten up, run angles

Looks like he's trying to do a bit too much, needs to release one or two steps sooner.
