I think the slaps in this game are criminally underdeveloped. The long range slaps from Doyle shown today are only a glimpse of what is possible. I would really like to see someone start taking some risks with slaps, I think there’s a lot that can be tough to defend

[@rondomane]

the long range slap is the scorpion kick of slapball

[@ryannoonan4430]

Can you slap from the defensive zone and play the live ball?

[@ohtani2024]

Long range shot should be nerfed

[@jarodphillips1738]

Yeah they should allow defense to put hands on people attempting to throw

[@brunoemf90]

I agree. It’s slapball not throwball, for Pete’s sake.

[@ethanspiro4654]

Unless Zo is demanding to play goal or he walks off the court, (which doesn’t sound like him at all) at this point it’s a managerial issue. Jolly needs to recognize that it’s simply not working. It’s game three for them and adjustments need to be made to positioning. Give someone else a look in net and see if you’ve got something. Good managers make adjustments.

[@bearsuitattack]

you are right, good managers DO make adjustments, which is why we'll see Zoe in goal all series ;)

[@TaylorG88]

And it's only his 2nd worst managerial decision so far.

I love the long slaps maybe a 2 point line like a 3 in basketball to incentivize longer slaps could spread out the defense more too.

[@LowgenGames]

Of all the suggestions I've seen flying around something like this to incentavise midrange slapping sounds fun!

[@chrismarston4266]

I recommended something like this after the second game. Put an arc halfway into the offensive zone where a slap from outside of the arc does not have to bounce prior to the slap. Keep it below the belt but it would allow for a bit more time and power behind the shots. Having to drop and slap from distance gives the defense too much time to react and renders the shot useless. Point totals can remain the same, every shot it worth the same but the type of shot that must be performed changes.

[@TaylorG88]

Zo not being swapped out as goalie is only the 2nd worst captaining decision that Jolly has made so far.

you guys should adopt a type of final possession/stoppage time. The game ending on a throw this time was way more exciting even though there weren't really any stakes to it.

[@KDill29]

But...I mean...he could you know....actually catch it..... Used to play flag football with friends, and we had a set of brothers who couldnt catch anything....called them Tupperware chests. Zo is doing the opposite and not letting the ball hit his body. Trying to use just his hands.

[@jord.an6123]

I genuinely LOVE this sport

[@neo6411]

To be honest, they gotta try Zo somewhere else. I think he might do better focusing entirely on offense than at goalie.

[@BigBlack81]

I wanna see Zo giving Jolly more options as a free offensive and defensive player. The up from goal to join into the play is tiring him out. Get the deep shooter to take a more active goal role, or at least swap it like the Story was doing in game 1.

[@itsRektrix]

jack is like the zlatan of slapball

[@cinco_de_la_tarde]

I showed this off to my dad and his comment for improvement to the game is a shot clock. 5-7 sec shot clock or something would dial up the pressure and keep people fun just holding the ball too much and just passing it around. This game is a great example of how fun it can be with quick back and forths. Other matches have drug a bit

[@griffithd05]

I find myself saying "watch your feeeet" to the screen to every thrower who is too close to the line

[@abbottjoy5040]

I’d love to see an arc around the goal, bigger than the goalie crease where you can slap on the run rather than needing planted feet. It would encourage more action like Jack’s slaps this game, and a new shot type, but from a distance to make it fair for the goalie.

[@flopjohnson129]

Zos pretty jacked

[@hoff-music-blog]

Im loving the quick pass to slaps and that there are a variety of ways to move the defenders and set up and attack. Makes me want to get in there and start slappin!

[@curleyjoe1624]

Damn Zo, get to the top of the crease and cut off a dang angle.

[@smuggsrider]

my rule change suggestion, dont require both feet to land behind the line on a throw, it could be: lead foot needs to be behind the line; or both feet behind the line at the time the ball is released or as long as the throwing motion starts behind the line you can continue over it in the follow through. this would not apply to slapping near the crease.

[@Dune24]

Jack Doyle made this game so fun to watch he’s such an entertainer

[@cwolf208]

I feel like the meta has been established with throwing, and you *cannot* build a team without one very strong thrower to draw the defense high. If Penik was involved in the offense and they had 2 down low with a float around the top, teams would have to concede a 3 on 2 or allow Cohen to throw 1 on 1. Either way, that's a lot of good chances. There isn't enough use of the high thrower to pull defenses away.

[@jbkvgv]

Glad to see people trying long slaps

[@nathanielgroce8804]

Cohen had the first slapball natural hat trick

[@taylorjohnson5148]

Even though I’m sad about all the goals scored on Zo, all the goals this game were sweet. And jack always cracks me up

[@derekhoh2527]

I think if you’re doing a self slap you should be allowed to move your feet. I like the pass slap and throw being stationary

[@allenroughton]

I still cannot make sense of when it's a turnover with a throw in versus when they can rebound and play on.

[@matthewurbas8889]

Every throw attempt at a goal that's not a goal is a turnover. Other than that I think if the ball bounces twice, either on a pad pass or a slap-shot attempt, it's taken out from the corner.

[@taylorjohnson5148]

“Searching for ways his team can play two seconds halves each game” is an amazing sentence

[@tylershelton2222]

[@scotticus]

Are goalies not allowed to play up in the crease? Its easy for the throwers to pick the corners when the goalie is so deep in net.

[@hazeofthegreensmoke505]

[@Tombomb615]

Love this tournament so far! Currently an episode behind but commenting here to be on tracks I’m curious if other people think some good additions to this game could be power plays and a goalie crease? I feel like that can increase scoring and implement more strategy! I feel like power plays would be really cool to see how the defense treats it

[@OvieKovy]

No reason for Zo to be in net but Jolly's the captain so it makes sense

[@SynbaddYT]

Happy to see the rippers diversify their attacks and figuring it out. They are the team I am pulling for!

[@davidsorensen2116]

So I've got suggestion to reward the defense on throws: If the defense stops a throw before the crease, the ball is live but has to be cleared to the neutral zone before a shot attempt can be made. All the normal rules apply (no two bounces, can't walk it out of defensive zone) so I think it would still stop the garbage goals Jimmy commented on during this game, but it still rewards good defense by giving some opportunities to counter against a defense rhat isn't set yet

[@gbgamer3949]

So in my opinion as a lacrosse and 5-a-side football player: 1: I'd make the crease bigger. 2: I'd not allow the defence to enter the crease. You could have a designated GK or just the first person in the crease is the GK. 3: I'd allow feet to be moving on slaps, it's much more fun, look at Jack's goal, we need more of that.

[@_MjG_]

I noticed that, same as 1 obvious foot well over the line late in game 2 that they counted. They will count crease goals for the trailing team to make the game slightly closer & more exciting. To me it just comes across as them manipulating the scores & lacking in credibility. I don't trust Warehouse Games when it comes to them manipulating scores. Not since when the far superior semi-pro skating Wormburner floorball team was obviously told behind the scenes by Jomboy to make the games closer... when everyone knew they could easily blowout every team like they did in their first game.

[@Mariooo15]

Commenting this at half: I think Dan should play goalie. He’s already staying back as your thrower so he can get back to net and Zo is shifty so I would assume he’d be better on defense to make sure no one gets a clean slap

[@npshepherd]

Follow with the other comments here, a lot of selective application of the rules. Jack taking a huge windup crow hop on his freeze, Ryan taking two big steps to the right before every sidearm throw, same thing for others. You either enforce that you have to be stationary or remove the rule. Otherwise great game, thank you guys for continuing to put out fun and entertaining content!

[@stux101ksb4]

I think stationary is only applied to slaps in the offensive zone. Throws from the defensive zone only have to be from behind the line

The only thing i struggle with in this game is the inconsistent calls during the game. They call rippers for defending with a jump but then let Goodfellas do it and get the turnover.
