Game Day NAB Cup R3 - WCE v PA - 9/3 @ TP

[PAdman]

Move over GO EAGLES I'm the new voice of unbridled optimism here now ! we will be 10-2 by mid season.

If you mean 'Played:10 Won: 2" then I agree!

 

[Chris_6678]

What happened to you GO EAGLES you changed man

 

[GO EAGLES]

What happened to you GO EAGLES you changed man

not really.

Just that our outs are crucial to our structure
it does not mean that we will not start winning after the Fremantle game

its just a feeling for me

gees i guess i have changed !!!

na just being realistic.

 

[ausbacker]

Actually I thought the insight he provided was minimal and often contradicted the moves that would occur on the screen. Each to their own.

You should watch more closely in the near future.

 

[erbenz]

You should watch more closely in the near future.

I think you might be over-estimating the wealth of what he discussed.

And I'm not sure if you intended it come across that way, but I think you are being a tad patronising here.

I'll go back and watch half an hour or so tonight just to make sure though. And I'll be happy to recant if I'm wrong

Did you listen to the pre game discussion or just the live stream of the match erbenz? If you just watched the live stream, that would account for our differing opinions.

 

[Suma Magic]

Was Surjan the special comments guy? That guy was the worst person I've ever heard on radio, any channel, any topic.

Kerr is so crucial for us, I don't mind if he hasn't played assuming he's fit enough. He knows how to play footy.

 

[Chris_6678]

Has anyone heard anything about Kerr yet? West Coast have been veeeeeeeeeeeeery quite regarding injuries in the last few weeks.

It's the deafening silence that is probably feeding my pessimism about Round 1 as much as anything.

You are not the only one.
Like I said before i reckon we will get beaten by about 45 points.
No Kerr and Natanui is not the best hey ?

 

[groga]

Don't read to much in the NAB cup games. Sandilands being out for freo evens up the playing field some what.

I am confident our defense is better then their forwards. I think freo's midfield is better then ours though without Nait or kerr, but our forwards should be able to score enough to win us the game.

P.s Was really good to see Kennedy kick some goals. Not really surprised that he got beaten in the second half with the training loads.

Not to be a grammar nazi or anything, but it is alarming how many times you used 'are' instead of 'our'. I'll go to sleep tonight happy I said something.

 

[LeCrassic]

Maybe he's a pirate

 

[SpaceClef]

ar ar ar ar arrr

 

[Spoken4]

I agree. Freo should defs leave out Pavlich, who fits your description. Thanks.

Fair point. But he has had at least one game's match practice.

Thanks mate, between all my readings i got lazy/rushed . Not easy having dyslexia.

Ah, just the live stream. Okay, there we go my bad. I apologise, ausbacker, I was a bit out of line. Carry On .

I'm never sure if people our being serious when they get that one wrong.

 

[the harry]

I thought it was good to just have different people call it...... for some reason radio callers seem to do a better job than those on tv (yes, the ones on tv are that bad).

i agree radio callers have to be a lot more descriptive to get a picture of the game in listeners heads, they also cant stop calling the game and let the vision do the rest as there is no vision, the triple m mebourne crew are my favourite callers

 

[PRANKSTER666]

Looking forward to watching how our midfield goes in the derby. It is still the big question mark hanging over our premiership credentials and we were pummeled by Freos midfield in the last derby with no Fyfe I believe and the Swans also smashed us.

We really need to improve our centre square clearances to give our forwards the best chance to convert open forward 50 opportunities.

 

[Chris_6678]

We were also had a fair few outs compared to last time.

 

[Big Tones]

it's not just that we all see the problems the midfield is having and it's not just that we are not expecting Kerry to play - it's that we don't see reasonable options being trialled in the nab cup. Surely Hutchi or Carter would be the obvious guys to work alongside Pridda and provide a bit of enthusiasm and hardness in the middle. Neither of them seem to have been given a go in that role. If we can't win the clearances, I can't see us beating Freo (or Hawks).
Unless ..... the coaches do see the problem and are going to put one of these guys is to "surprise" Freo. I expect Hutchi would give 200% just to get revenge for Lyon sacking him from St K. With Woosh you should always expect the unexpected.

Based on last year's pretty predictable selections, I'm not so sure. I definitely don't see us including Hutchings or Carter unless there's been an injury at this stage (hopefully their WAFL performances do get them some AFL game time later on in the season).

What I do expect is to see our regular midfielders work harder and raise their intensity levels. I suspect that after losing Lecras in the NAB cup last year we wanted to be a little more cautious before the season proper (Wellingham sure could have used the warning too...)

Scooter is the worry for me, looks big and cumbersome.
