Review Round 6, 2023 vs West Coast

[Marmozet]

A nothing win.

Hope Marshall’s alright and it was nice to see Ollie Lord kick one on debut.

St Kilda will make light work of us next week.

Even when 40 points up we still can’t get out of a kick after the siren against West Coast

 

[Troopsy]

Should’ve won by 50+

 

[afl2004]

11 years of coaching and this is the best he can create lol

 

[Launchpad McQuack]

You'd have to be a pretty ordinary footballer to allow Bailey Williams to look AFL standard.

This. * the family s**t, I want a coach that will win a premiership. This spud ain’t going too. GTFO Hinkley!

There's clearly been a memo sent from Koch to various media outlets to push this father figure nonsense. It's the story now, and it's grotesque.

 

[PJ Power]

I was disappointed in JHF's game, more than anything else today.

He’s a long way from the finished product. Reading that article today, he needs to mature and not get so hard on himself. Otherwise he won’t cope with quiet games, taggers, booing etc.

He got caught every time he went near it today and fumbled just a bit too much which allowed the Eagles mids to trap him.

He wasn’t great after a strong start.

For now he’s a 14-18 possession player and maybe for a bit longer.

The bigger issue for us is we keep getting smashed in ruck and Wines and Boak are offering nothing of substance.

How tiresome is this whole "father figure" narrative. I want a coach who can win premierships, not f**king Clark Griswald.

Yep - we're in a holding pattern of mediocrity until he's gone.

Kelli Underwood just said Hinkley has the side “humming along”.

I suspect any `humming' Kelli would hear would be battery powered.

He had 8 clearances, so at his worst he's still a positive

I felt a bit dirty liking that post, but I did.

 

[Schulzenfest]

B.Williams 21 disposals 37 hitouts and 13 clearances lol

9 disposals and 17 hitouts against Sam Hayes last year.

 

[PJ Power]

Agree. Like I said - he’s not the problem with our midfield. It’s our uncompetitive rucks and lack of output from Wines especially.

 

[Izzy01]

That was a very uninspiring 40 point win against an ordinary team

 

[El Zorro]

Aliir, Finlayson, maybe Rozee. The rest very average.

 

[PJ Power]

What did Hayes have for hit-outs that game?

 

[Interstater]

Well having read the last two pages I'm happy I listened to it via Timmy and Tredders.

Glad for the 4 points and even gladder I didn't listen to Dermott the Dinosaur.

 

[OneGreatClub]

Hey, we’re 4th on the ladder, at least for the next couple of hours.

 

[gbear]

16 more games to go for the season. That is the hard reality.

Players are so unfit, they couldn’t run out the game.

At least the weather was nice today I guess.

 

[PAFC66]

I think Ken shifted players out of there regular positions,today.Their was experiments out there today.

He only started making moves when he looked gone after the showdown.

 

[OneGreatClub]

Aliir, Finlayson, maybe Rozee. The rest very average.

Lord was good for first game as a forward in AFL.

 

[Schulzenfest]

What did Hayes have for hit-outs that game?

48. Which incidentally is more than Lycett has had in a game ever.

 

[ClintEastwood]

‘Ohr look, we’re well aware of West Coast are capable of when they come over here, and we saw how plucky they were against the Cats. So we spoke all week about keeping on our toes for what Sheed, and Yeo, and McGovern, and Kennedy and NicNatwa would bring’

Funny, all I hear is "DONUTS DONUTS DONUTS DONUTS PEPSIMAX DONUTS WEST COAST ARE A GOOD SIDE DONUTS PEPSI DONUTS GREYHOUNDS!!"

 

[Mikey13G]

Port by 40+

As expected! Would've been nice to continue the 2nd quarter form, but a win is a win.

 

[Capital Power]

I assume the switching off at HT was to instructions? Can kinda understand the logic behind it, but it's sure frustrating for us white noisers. In recent years we've given scant regard to percentage for whatever reason, but I would have thought this year with a contract on the line we might be more interested in it.

FWIW it's at least now back over 100.

He'll always be a donut untill he's not.
