Well played yesterday guys. Work rate the biggest difference between the sides and how selfish some of our players are.

You can understand the tentative approach to believing that as it was 12 years ago we were saying the same thing on here about Harvey, and then it was 7 years ago when Pav's book came out that we realised that actually no, Harvey was just an incoherent mess be it in person or on T.V., he just had one spectacular assistant who was able to convey his message and not deviate from it.I'm going to defend JLo here. When the camera is not in his face he speaks really well. It is just the camera that turns him into a bumbling mess for some reason.
Postgame Slayshaw mentioned the greasy conditions, making it hard to use the footy well, but, * me, that was a clangerfest.Not until we play someone good. The Bombers were insipid.
I have never seen so many dropped marks, errant handballs, turnovers and hospital passes. That was a poor game of footy from both teams, and a most unsatisfying win IMO.
But like you say, that stuff can be corrected. There were glimpses.
The person doing the ratings must have watched a different game to me. Brennan pretty much best on at half time. After half time we didn’t need him.
You know things are going well when that happens. Almost looks like a directive has gone out. The downfield free for abuse. That sh*t never happens in our favour. Except yesterday.Pretty good run with the umpires 2 weeks in a row too.

You mean Fyfe right?The boys did it for Jesus today.

Yeah. My big concern b4 the game was the 4 v 3 200cm+ players. Went out the door in the first 2 minutes and they never had the chance to play an extra tall up forward to stretch the backline.The Bombers losing their other ruck in the first seconds really helped Draper get knackered.
Agreed. Horrendous stuff here from Parish - inexcusableWell played yesterday guys. Work rate the biggest difference between the sides and how selfish some of our players are.
And to rub it in they printed them twice on the same page. A sub-editor is going to get sacked for that, what a waste if potential advertising spaceThe person doing the ratings must have watched a different game to me. Brennan pretty much best on at half time. After half time we didn’t need him.
Serong and Young shaky games, struggling to score a 6 for mine.
Yes that was a noticeable difference.Well played yesterday guys. Work rate the biggest difference between the sides and how selfish some of our players are.
Development as a whole at our club has been s**t for 20 years. I want to expect more from Cox, Perkins, Reid (the other top 10 draft pick who has 1 game), Durham, Martin but am quickly learning not to expect anything because it leads to disappointment.Yes that was a noticeable difference.
How happy are you with the development of some of your young guys? I was a bit surprised Cox and Perkins weren't as impressive as I expected, and from that game I would have that as a major point of difference.
A really good critique of the game by Matthew Lloyd today on the AFL site.
A little bit anecdotal (and he was significantly below what we expect from him in that game), but some of us dreamt that Cox would somehow get to our pick, which ended up being Chapman. Now unlikely anyone would trade him.Development as a whole at our club has been s**t for 20 years.

He's a tool who spends more time on his hair, than he does watching our games!Didn't he call us the most disappointing team if thr season after Rd 2? Granted we played like poo against the Saints but it was a big early call.
Then alluded to the fact it was the first game of ours he'd actually watched this year.
That kids extraction from the pack is fantastic.Just quietly, how good is Serong when he can come back, and look rusty as hell for at least the first half, and still rack up a lazy 30 touches.
this. i want to do anything to keep him in WA/at Freo.That kids extraction from the pack is fantastic.
Would love him to be our Shane Edwards for the next 10 years.
Some of our players need to remember that him and Colyer are short asses and not kick it over their heads though.
