NAB Cup Thread - Fremantle v Geelong v West Coast

[Clyde Frog]

Pretty sure cloke initiated contact with man in front and should of been against him. Carlisle contact was barely minimal.

totally agree the bombers got ripped there

What are you talking about? Cloke got pushed to the ground, clear free kick, absolutely no need for Carlisle to even touch Cloke because the Bomber in front had it covered. All Carlisle had to do was maintain body contact.

where was van unen?

[LF]

Cloke had the player in front of him around the neck before he even got touched
We're you even watching the game?

Aw bollocks, even on the Foxsports highlights they said it was an ''unmissable" free kick

It was a bullshower free to cloke I was watching it live should have been an essendon free hands down you can stick your boo up where the sun don't shine
Others agree cloke gave away the free not essendon

Did B Kennedy play?

well guys here are a few thoughts of mine on the good the bad and the downright ugly

Essendon VS Bulldogs

Essendon
Nick Kommer - can find the pill and kicking looked good
Michael Hurley - Great contests usually taking on 3 -not for fantasy-
Brendon Goddard - Flew under the radar but still racked up 14 touches
Dyson Heppell- Looked good played in middle involved alot

Bulldogs
Matthew Boyd - Can still find it at will
Brett Goodes - good poise and effective found it a bit

Bulldogs vs Collingwood

Bulldogs
Brett Goodes -  good poise and effective found it a bit hard at it
Lin Jong - butchered it to start maybe nerves but found heaps of the ball
Clay Smith - found alot in the midfield

Collingwood
Dane Swan - Is bloody Everywhere
Brent Macaffer - only couple touches but looked poised when he had it
Jordan Russell - Ball wasn't near him alot but did ok when near him
Travis Cloke - going by this game might turn into a non fantasy type got bloody lucky to score that well

Essendon Vs Collingwood

Essendon
Brendon Goddard - didn't fly under the radar this time may have had less touches then first game but impact was more noticeable
Dyson Heppell - got better and better as the night went on finishing strongly

Collingwood
Jordan Russell - after first game nerves are over seemed to step up more played brillantly
Pendlebury - was quiet first half and decided to start moving up a gear in 2nd half find more of the footy
Brent Macaffer - couple of touches early but then died right out
Travis Cloke - poor again 6 touches 2 marks 1.1 ark and point come from pack mark went up about 30 cm behind pack by himself and goal came from free kick 2 other touchs were gifts too
not looking good being beaten in marking contests to easily is he missing his glove?

Ben Sinclair - i liked the look of him looked very lively around the goals quick ad clean pick ups and quick to get ball on foot

and for other essendon supporters out there in a non fantasy scoring type player but good for the bombers here are a couple of thoughts

Jake Carlise - Hands looked great in marking contests against bulldogs was good against pies aswell bit more quiter but still good except for silly free kick to trav cloke at end

Michael Hurley - Great contests usually taking on 3 against bulldogs and more quiet against pies but still provides good contests

Tayte Pears- all the talk about his preseason being good and looking in great shape was true looked good out there (only played 2nd game against pies but held his own against the Big Q)

I think your being completely unfair to Trav. Was very good I thought for a player who got poo delivery all night

in the first game against the bulldogs in the first 10 minutes they hit cloke with a couple of alright passes rather then bombing and was still spoiled in 1 on 1 contests

in both gaes where his scores actually come from was being lucky
against essendon didn't see him for nost of the first half they were hitting up big Q (think cloke started on bench though cuz did not see him at all)
seems like im being harsh but this is a guy i got locked in for SC and DT so far thinking he cannot do to me what he did last season again but from what i saw he doesn't look like the player from 2 years ago he looks like the cloke from last season

it was a soft free kick
but coming from an essendon supporter here when they blew the whistle without even seeing the replay i knew what it was for i saw the contact in full speed - was minimal was soft and shouldn't of been given the essendon player in front who copped cloke in his back as a domino effect made it look the worst
but there was no need for carlise to even do it is more the point
soft yes but he took a silly risk that wasn't needed
all the players should know by now u put one fingernail in the back and sometimes u will get away with it and other times get called for it

[Mr.Craig]

Tom Young had a decent score against Collingwood. Can someone fill me in on how he looked and what role he was playing?

[T Dog]

It was a free kick....the umpire awarded it.....happens all the time, but the umpires call wins... 8)
