ALM semi first leg v Smurfs away

[Ironbark]

I had hoped we'd learnt from the first game, and even though we did better in the second we still didn't deal with the high energy press.

Feel like we'll surely tweak again and improve further.

We need to support each other for off the ball options with an extra player in the mids, and really need to be ready with a long ball and an Alou or Edmo ready to sprint onto it in order to take the confidence out of their press. Just what I'd like to see with my very amateur thoughts at this level.

While we've not beaten them this year, we've not yet played them in a game which has everything riding on it.

We've shown ourselves to be resilient when it really matters so hopefully that happens again tonight and next week.

Nerves are jangling! Time to get started on some fizzy brown medicine!

we need to make a song and dance .about shirt grabbing and fouling on the counter .
this is a principle part ,of their game plan .so their not caught out of position on the press .

very confident

Yeah that get away with murder against us which helps their press. I bet the Ref will let them do it again.

We haven't lost a single finals game to them this year ;-)

For a long time SFC have been masters at fouling in a way that flies under the radar. They know that refs are under a lot of pressure to let the game low - and even moreso in a semi - so they get away with a lot of the niggly stuff, and they are also good at tactical fouling to disrupt, but not when the attack is clear enough for a yellow (of course, a good referee should be aware of this and adjust their strictness on SPA fouls).

Hopefully Danny puts in another shift like the last 2 games

10 Bold

No Migzy, no Wenzel- Halls winning goal and let’s just hope Paull isn’t needed.

Sure is

Mon they yellows!

No Migzy, no Wenzel- Halls winning goal and let’s just hope Paull isn’t needed.

Except as an extra defender coming on late to help shore up a 3-0 lead

PSA for those with mobile tickets. A few people outside the ground having problems accessing them. Ticketek are issuing replacement paper tickets but I wouldn't wait until 7.40 to check you can access the ticket in case it is a widespread issue

I had that problem but it works fine if you use the app like I did.

I've always just opened from the SMS link. If I have to use the app then it's back to pdf tickets for me, they can stick their app where the sun don't shine
