2nds WAFL Watch 2014 - Peel Thunder

[Jimbos1]

And what did Sylvia do today to justify your call?

Do you actually read new posts before dribbling?

Okay then. But you dont have to get worked up and start cursing. "Yeah morabito sounds good but Sylvia played sub par have a read of the previous comments."

How does go and get f***ed sound, you patronising little pillock?

I've noticed you before lecturing people on language and behaviour. This is a footy site, not a knitting forum, and from what I've seen from your footy knowledge a knitting forum may be more suitable for you.

Read the new posts, learn something and then make an informed comment before lecturing people on what they can and cannot say.

Bushie's facebook friend request has got next to no chance I reckon.

Okay dude, if you dont want to chill out ill just look past your comments.

Probably a good idea.

SND doesn't play nice.

Often has something to say worth paying attention to... His essay on the game was a shining example. Have a read of that if you haven't already, and you'll probably find some of the answers you were chasing.

Suits me fine.

While you're at it, and if you're really quick, you can start a changes thread 5 seconds after the Geelong game where you and your ilk can post mindless, uninformed speculation for nigh on two weeks!

Have fun.

Loved the detailed report, slicedanddiced!

Not a bad write up Slicedndiced, cheers buddy.

Match Report;

So yeah, I attended the game today cos it is a 2 drop punts from my house.

Saw the last Q of the ressies and only noticed Moller as I was chatting with a few buddies. He may have carved it up for the first 3 Qtrs, I don’t know, but the figure I saw today cut a forlorn, dejected and disinterested player who would prefer to be shooting hoops with his basketball mates. He was cut up in the ruck by an undersized opponent and offered exactly zero around the ground.

Like I said, he may have torn it up for Q1,2,and 3, but considering the scoreline was a decisive flogging to the filthy garlic munchers, I doubt it.


To the main event.

First off, WP didn’t win the game, Peel lost it.

I have never , in over 40 years of watching footy, seen a more inept coaching display. More about that later…


To the players.

MORABITO: I’ve watched this kid a fair bit since his Colts times and he really does have it all. But what he isn’t is a backman.

Mora mainly interchanged from the backline to the guts and wing, (with the occasional foray forward), and whilst he did some nice stuff down back, with intercept marking and nice distribution by hand and foot, he was far more at home in the congested ball situation where he could hit a pack of players, (at a stoppage or general play), and use his size, burst of pace, (he really isn’t that quick in a straight line), and vision to spot up a target.

Why isn’t he a backman? He just is NOT a natural reader of the play in this position. He was constantly getting “generalled” by other players as to where to go, which man to stand, and even then, he was far too loose and not focussed nearly enough for a true backliner.

A bit of the above is due to piss poor coaching tho…more later.

All in all, I honestly don’t think that he is ready for selection yet but he probably will be.

IBBOTSON: Ibbo played mainly on the wing and mid, which I thought was strange in itself. However, he showed some nice poise and control, yet didn’t really impose himself on the contest enough for mine. No issue with his shoulder at all, and probably did enough for a call up next weekend.

MENENGOLA: Sam tagged Shane Nelson out of the game after quarter time. He works hard, watches his man closely, takes a decent grab, got a lot of the ball himself I reckon, but geez his kicking and vision is ordinary at times.

ALEX PEARCE: We have a true gem here!! No, he didn’t play a perfect game, (all of which was at CHB and loose man in defence), and he did make some fundamental skill errors. But this kid can play footy! A natural defender, reads the play beautifully, knows when and how to peel off and was very vocal in organising the Peel defence, (Thank Christ someone was!). Very, very impressed with him. McP’s replacement has been found.

HANNATH: Big Jack, oh how I love thee. Alternated between ruck and deep forward. Rucked very well when called upon and took some strong contested marks, although he let himself down with some easy misses at goal. Lovely field kick. Just not a true AFL quality player yet, but a great depth player as our 3rd ruck/forward.

SIMPSON: “Juice” did some of his amazing tricks, (right in front of me!), but not consistently enough for mine, which is no surprise at this stage. Played mainly off the HBF with times in the guts. Sticks his tackles, has great vision and is extremely hard on himself when he screws up. A true talent in the making. But not ready just yet.

APENESS: My first look at big Mick in the flesh and I was very impressed. Played solely forward, no rucking at all and clunked some ripper contested marks and worked hard apart from missing some gettable set shots for 3 quarters until he went off injured early in the last Q. Not sure what the issue was, but he looked sore in the torso. Didn’t see what happened, but he was running in treacle a bit before, so maybe a rib injury. Only guessing.

GREY: My first look at Brady in the flesh and what a ripper he is. Played on a rotation basis between the flanks. Tough as f***en teak, good frame and nice skills. Copped a hell of a knock, (putting his body on the line), to the rib/hip area late in the 3rd quarter and I was convinced that he was cooked, but no, he came back on. Received some well deserved individual praise from Roger Hayden and Cam Shepherd in the 3QT huddle. Great pick up this kid.

KEPLER: What can I say about the riddle wrapped in an enigma etc?? Kep played 100% at fullback and didn’t miss a beat. He took a fantastic mark running back in the goal square to save a certain goal and manned up very well. He quite literally nearly killed two WP players as he crashed a pack in the 3rd and was solid in disposal by hand and foot. I was bemused that he played solely in the backline and so deep. Something more sinister with McP or Dawson? I hope not.

TABERNER: Geez this kid can run and run and run all day. But, more importantly, he knows where to run and when to run. Took some great contested grabs, kicked 4 or 5 goals, pressured in defence ably, but let himself down with some missed easy set shots. A definite KPF in the making, and a very good one.

GRIFFIN: Clearly BOG for mine. Just schooled Keunen and co in the ruck to the point of embarrassment, took some great contested marks up forward when resting and around the ground, threw himself into EVERY contest and looks in ripping knick. When he is deemed match fit, which can’t be far off, Zac Clarke will enjoi his time at Peel.

BALLARD: Played mainly back.Nice player, works hard, does some very good things, but then ends up ball watching far too much. Not AFL standard at present, but decent depth and definitely enough there to work with.


And now for the fun bits…


SHERIDAN: Despite another report on here, he did NOT have a blinder at all. A more vanilla player would be hard to find anywhere.Tommy, oh Tommy boy, could you be any more flaky and half-hearted if you tried? On more than one occasion you had the chance to hurt someone in a contested situation and pulled out. You hear footsteps Tommy, you really do. Lovely skills when you are called clear, but the ball can’t hit your boot or fist quick enough if the heat is on. Such a disappointment. But his hair is nice. Trade bait. Misses his mum.

SYLVIA: Colin, the great white hope, the answer to our forward line woes and GUARANTEED to kick two goals and add something.

Well, not on todays effort he isn’t. And not by a very f***ing long shot!!

Pathetic, disinterested, second to the ball, zero gut running at all and just a really disappointing effort from someone who gets his tyres pumped up so constantly by many on here.

It says something when the likes of Brendon Jones and Matty Brown school you in the art of hard, gut-running footy with passion and when Kristin Thornton delivers you a spray to man up and do something!

Played mainly on the ball with a long stint up forward late in the game and did absolutely nothing!

Stick a f***en fork in him. He’s that far up himself for it to be unbelievable and signing him was a massive mistake on our behalf and don’t talk again about picking him for Fremantle unless there is a massive change in many, many things with him!!!!


The foibles of footy.


RTB was an interested onlooker at the quarter time break and looked bemused as me, and others, when Shepherd called Menengola to go to Nelson, since Menegola was ALREADY on Nelson for last 10 minutes of Q1. Didn’t see RTB after that.

In Q2 Mora gave away a free kick in Peels HBF. Unbelievably, he went out of his way to pick up the ball and pass it to his WP opponent. Much to the anger of his team mates who didn’t have time to set up properly. Very strange brain fart indeed. Mora squared up with a crunching tackle about a minute later.

Bouncedown of the second half and Peel were one man down in defence, not a spare man down, but WP had a free forward in a 6 man forward set up! How the F*** does that happen in a WAFL team directly after the major break?? Mora was the one under the pump from young Pearce who demanded that he get back and man up, Mora told him to GOGF, he had a man already. Was sadly comedic. I’d point my finger at Roger Hayden, but he looked as bemused as the rest of us with Shepherd.

WP are 5 goals down at 3 qtr time and Peel are holding them for half of the last qtr until they get a run on. Does Shepherd swing a loose man in defence to stem the flow? Does he do anything at all tactical to hold on? Did he provide anything at all in the 3qtr time address apart from U/16’s hyperbole and bullshit?


Not a ******* thing!!


This is not the appropriate environment to develop kids. He needs to be moved on ASAP.

Extremely sure that Keplers brother, (serious), was having a kick at half time. Folically challenged, big, goofy, but kicking 40 metre bullets off two steps with nonchalant ease over and over.


One of the Peel water girls has a sensational arse.


I don’t give a rats about stats.

Oh yeah. clogged and mike91 can stick their sychophantic, circle jerk dutch ruddering right up their arse.

Thanks slicedndiced for I what I feel to bound to describe as a virtuoso performance in the art of commentary and reportage.

My favourite bit was the sighting of a possibleKepler sibling possessing the same ungainly brilliance.

There can only be 1 Kepler as there is only 1 Jesus and 1 budah

LOL Jesus and Buddah? Those blokes aren't fit enough to tie Keplars boot laces. It's blasphemous that you'd even mention them in the same sentence as the great Keplar.

I just get the feeling you are being a bit harsh, you don't get 32 possies with out working hard.

He is still building up his body and once he gets this he will get the courage to go harder at the contest. Perhaps he should stay in the WAFL and work on building up his strength this year.

 

[Harry Reems]

I was sitting in the visitors stand just behind Peel's interchange bench.

Early in the game Josh Simpson was taking the kick in after a West Perth behind and stepped on the line when he kicked in. The umpire pinged him and Josh had a massive dummy spit and was dragged as a result.

I think it was Simon Lloyd (The guy dressed like an NFL coach with the head set and cap on) grabbed him by the arm when he came off and gave him a stern talking to.

This had an effect as Joshy played a blinder in the 2nd quarter before disappearing again for the rest of the game.

Bushy was right about Tommy Sheridan. His stats looked great but he had zero impact on the game. Griff, Kepler and Morabito did well, whilst Tabs was good at a WAFL level standard only.

Ibbo and Menegola were okay, whilst Apeness was as rusty as on old shed door.

When the 2nd quarter started I heard a familiar voice behind me. I turned around to see RTB and Michael Prior sitting right behind me.

Michael left at 3/4 time (probably thinking they had won) and Ross sat by himself for the last quarter.

Ross checked the stats regularly on his phone and watched the game in silence. As soon as the siren went though, Ross stormed out of the ground in disgust. A few Cardies supporters spotted him and started yelling expletives at not only Ross, but all of the Peel reserves players and support staff.

It was a quality performance by a bunch of mainly bitter and twisted older people, who were obviously unhappy about the rise in utility prices and public transport fares in the state budget.

What a sour lot of old scrotes they are up there.

Seagulls get lots of chips. He's been in the system long enough now to be over issues like that.

I was sitting on the opposite wing in the glorious sunshine, and quite deliberately. There is nothing quite like Garlic Muncher supporters at Arena Joondalup. They are a strange breed.

I thought Apeness went ok, especially in the first half. knows how to take a grab and sticks a very good tackle. still learning the game imo, but there is a heap to work with.

Those calling for his selection however are getting way ahead of themselves.

Thanks. You weren't missed and will not be in the future.

You and Mike make a lovely couple.

He knows absolutely nothing, and all you do is piss and moan about your favourite whipping boys and coaching strategies.

Enjoi your clique.

Jeez, pissing and moaning hey? The only thing notable about your earlier post is that you didn't spent the majority of it complaining about other posters.

But usual transmission has been restored.

So much irony coming from Gravy, Clay Davis, clogged today.

You'll be getting a lot more of the above.

Nice obsession Gravy.

Pity that you are 100% wrong tho.

Why are you so paranoid about your previous user names anyway?

Is the CIA tracking your NAMBLA links?

Absolutely. Buddah has no chance of passing his skinnies, Jesus barely ever gets out of a walk, even if it is on water, and neither of them own a pair of boots.
