Review R3: Dees v West Horshamites - the Good, the Bad and the Fugly

[Biffinator]

Brothers, if we win today, it will be a miracle.

 

[Demon 16]

I'm quite concerned with the potential level of ugly, this afternoon.

 

[Andy_Mac]

Today feels like getting your prostate checked for the first time...

You know it's coming, but the anticipation is so sooo distressing.

 

[Tempy Tiger]

Bev will shut down Eddie and McDonald will cover Walker. Slightly concerned about Dangerfield, Jenkins and Sloane though.

 

[Tempy Tiger]

Love West Horshamites by the way Biff. You are too rare a visitor to the board these days.

 

[PureFooty]

Mids really need to perform today, they went to sleep in the 2nd half, must come out firing.

 

[d33my]

They are going to run us ragged. Get ready to see free flowing, aggressive footy with plenty of overlap -- when (if?) we get the ball we'll struggle to move it.

 

[00Stinger]

So I am here in West Horsham for the game. The weather is shit, the city is shit and the locals are even shitter. No hopeful the game is ok

Go and get a pie floater!

 

[Captain Jack]

I am also in town for the game. I say town deliberately.

Haven't ventured past therapy eastern suburbs yet, so my impression has been good so far.

 

[Theseventhhamster]

The line has drifted out to 48.5 points. I may be the only one left with some optimism.

 

[LeverPuller]

I have a sneaky feeling about today. Call it idiots intuition.

50.5 now.

What a sick and twisted world we live in.

 

[Cannon82]

50.5 now.

Maybe it's an auction?

 

[d33my]

Honestly the only way I could see us getting close is if for some reason the Crows take their foot off the pedal because they don't rate us at all. But from what I've heard about Walsh that's very unlikely.

What a pathetic lot of blouses we all are. Beaten before the ball is bounced! I hope the players have got more of a winners attitude.

Yes so do I. Luckily I'm not on the club payroll.

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

Competed well today. Kicking at critical times let us down. Tyson and Jones are either both unfit or both out of form or a bit of both say the moment, which makes winning impossible (without your two best players playing well).

Brayshaw a highlight, TMac would be BOG for us but hard to give it to him when Walker somehow ended up with 3. Vince probs our best.

 

[BG32]

big Lumumba was everywhere

 

[The Dr]

I was only listening on radio but by the sound of it we really took it up to them but their class just shone out over four quarters.

We really need more line-breaking mids and a strong marking target/second ruck (this is where we really miss Clark, as much as I hate to admit it).

 

[Major Colvin]

Needed to convert our opportunities, didn't. Happy with the endevour, although our second half (once again) wasn't great.

Vince very good against his old side.

Watts once again poor around the contest - just poor in general

 

[ThePuppetMaster]

Pretty good effort - we struggled to give our forwards much.

Everyone put in, some had poor games and errors but the effort was still there.

 

[PerfectFooty]

Good
Took it up to Adeliade for about three quarters
showed some fight melee at three quarter time was alright
Vince hard at the contest and stopped danger, only blemish was kicking backwards. i doubted him, i take it back
Jones was poor but fought back a bit in the second half, tried to show leadership but by then it was over
Tmac, If he keeps playing this way and is not in the All australian by years end, the All australian selectors are stupid

Bad
Jeffy Garlett looked a bit disinterested and soft at times

Ugly
Jack Watts, he's played some shit games but this one tops the lot, softer than melted butter. Handed the momentum straight to adelaide, that goal break we had would have been handy
Nate jones first half and half of the third quarter
Loosing


I reckon we did alright against a rampaging Adelaide today, much better than last weeks performance. in times of old we would have been out of the game by quarter time and thrashed by the final siren. on the back of this performance that seems disappointing and frustrating, i'd actually think we're a chance to beat richmond next week.

 

[ThePuppetMaster]

Forgot to say that Tyson and Newton were pretty patchy effort wise.
