Harrison Posted March 24, 2021 Report Share Posted March 24, 2021 Coming up against an in-form WSW, who we comfortably dealt with three weeks ago. Question mark over Reis, haven't heard anything about him yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neio Posted March 24, 2021 Report Share Posted March 24, 2021 They play with the perfect set up for us. 3 at the back, and none of them are quick enough to keep up with Maclaren or Nabbout. They have young wing backs in Russell and Wilmering who can definitely be exploited if we go quick, like we have been Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fensaddler Posted March 24, 2021 Report Share Posted March 24, 2021 I know active are back, but do we know when we're getting back to our normal seats? Not that I sit anywhere else than my usual spot regardless of ticketing, but I'd be glad to see the back of the bloody COVID marshals and game by game random booking.

Shahanga Posted March 24, 2021 Report Share Posted March 24, 2021 I think their coach is no mug. I’d say they’ll be trying something different this time around. Mind you I’m not expecting it to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last I heard was that there is no intention to issue membership cards this season, or in the future, and that the club was looking for a QR solution. It could be simply done by a paper version of the bar code. Don't know where your normal seats are, but ours are in Section 19 and both that section and section 20 are virtually empty and we sit where we feel like it. So far I haven't seen a COVID Marshall do anything. I can't see why we cannot be issued with the same seats for the rest of the season, even if they are not quite the ones we wanted. I can't believe that we can't fit our number of members quite easily into Levels 1 and 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jw1739 Posted March 26, 2021 Report Share Posted March 26, 2021 I receive multiple texts with the ticket info. Ryan does the bookings for our gang now, so he sends one, and Ticketek send another. For this match I've now had three texts and sets of tickets from Ticketek, including the AFL one, but they're all for the same row of seats. Unfortunately the COV-19 case in Brisbane today doesn't auger well for a relaxation of the rules around tickets/access to AAMI. I still can't believe that our membership is so big that members can't be allocated fixed seats for the rest of the season, and if we're not going to get membership cards why we can't have a barcode or a QR code, either paper or on the smartphone, to use. But as I've learned over the past two years, everything in Australia is made just too bloody complicated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr MO Posted March 26, 2021 Report Share Posted March 26, 2021 I’ve noticed in build up play from the back we barely use Metcalfe, big difference from when Griffiths plays there. Not sure if deliberate or just not enough movement from Conor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr MO Posted March 26, 2021 Report Share Posted March 26, 2021 Can somebody remind me of the ruling around the free kicks again. Back in my day we couldn’t play until the ref blew his whistle. Now you can take quick as long as the ball is dead on the spot unless the ref has his arms up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr MO Posted March 26, 2021 Report Share Posted March 26, 2021 We haven’t seen this for while, a second half with something to play for! It was said we went into conservation mode in the second half in recent games, well now show us we can a second half like against Victory again!

kingofhearts Posted March 26, 2021 Report Share Posted March 26, 2021 (edited) Need to do a better job of getting Metcalfe involved, he has been a passenger so far. We were still thoroughly dominant but Wsw are sitting so far back it's hard to move the ball as fluently as we're used to. Outside of coughing up a goal on a cheap turnover we've been fine. We need to be patient with our build-up and continue to press and see if we can get a cheap goal off a turnover because if we get ahead, it'll open the game up a lot.

It's the opposition's responsibility to ask for the wall or to stand over the ball for the wall to be formed. Then the ref will wait. Otherwise it's play on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My understanding was you have always been able to take it quickly unless instructed by the ref to wait for the whistle, which usually occurred when asking for the 10m to be measured or the ref decided to measure it out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I don’t buy that it’s Troisi being on Meltcalfe at every opportunity, we’ve not played him in once. Two things going on , Conor is a bit ball shy at times and/or we deem it risky. This caused Luna and Berenguer to drop and collect the ball, meaning we are short up front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
