2nds WAFL Watch 2014 - Peel Thunder

To my understanding old Bushie is (or was) extremely unwell. Hope wherever he is he's doing OK

 

[Nickos66]

I think I heard a penny drop.. No, wait. Carry on.

 

[StingBitten]

In Clarke's defense, and it is a shaky one at best - he's playing Naitanui's style game better than Naitanui.

Couldn't put this better myself. He's playing the Naitanui role better than Naitanui ever could.

But we don't want that. We want Clarke to be more like the great cosmological, magellan-cloud epiphany that is known as the Bradley.

Only then will he have the true Mongrel.

 

[Nickos66]

He also needs to increase in mass (in his afro).

He's been Sliced n Diced poor bastard

 

[The Pirate]

I reckon Clarke's more dangerous running on a 45 towards goal using his athleticism to burn the opposition tall and take a floating mark 30-40 out rather than putting him in the goal square...

 

[slicedndiced]

Maybe we have found the solution, next part of his development - bring in griffith and sandilands in the ruck and permanent forward being clarke with Pav. If he kick average 2-3 goals a week then he has done his job. As long as he is accountable for his man and not let him run amok. Get griff to play in ruck and around the ground.

Clarke at CHF or Goal Square when he is at CHF and Rotate him with Sandi in the square.

And then what with Taberner?

Oh it's all too hard

I'll pass on your best wishes

 

[pokerspiv]

Any talls should be repeatedly busting the door down in order to win selection. Griff is starting to look likely, but I'd want Tabs to do what he did on the weekend a few more times before being thrown in.

You want him to kick 5 goals every week in the worst team in the WAFL?

Sounds a bit unrealistic.

Yeah you're right. Playing in the worst team in the WAFL is probably what is also holding Sylvia back from dominating week in week out too.

 

[pokerspiv]

What does my comment have to do with Sylvia?

It's ridiculous to expect Taberner to kick 5 goals a week. Pavlich wouldn't kick 5 goals a week if you sent him to Peel.

I think you would find that you're extremely wrong there.

Agree that expectations need to be kept in check regarding Taberner. We should just be happy that he is impressing at WAFL level.

 

[pokerspiv]

He really wouldn't. You could put Tony Lockett at FF and he wouldn't kick 5 goals if the ball didn't come down there enough.

 

[Latro]

Please Pavlich could probably kick ten playing as a midfielder.

Unrealistic? for an AFL listed key forward to press his case to display that he can beat WAFL defenders consistently??

What's unrealistic about that? Do you think he should be just treading water against WAFL quality opponents, why would we draft a key forward who can't match it and beat WAFL key defenders?! You do understand the purpose of drafting the good players, right??

I expect all of our players in time to develop to a level above that of the WAFL, otherwise.. Why are they on our list?!

I'm at a loss to understand your PoV.

The unrealistic part is expecting him to have opportunities to beat his opponent enough times every week to kick 5 goals, in the team that is dead last on the ladder and has lost every game this season.

Footy is a team sport, an individual player can only do so much.

 

[slicedndiced]

Pav would have kicked a bakers dozen yesterday.

Peel get enough footy every week to win games, but they are coached by a doofus who has zero idea.

He would still, EASILY, average 5 a week.

And yet your answer to Fremantles AFL losses are to bring in an individual player...

 

[jackkkkk]

I reckon Sandi can rotate back just as much as forward. Think about it, it's easier for a defender to spoil on him than it is for a forward to outmark him. Forwards generally try and mark rather than spoil. Have him in the goal square tapping the long bombs to Spurr, Sutcliffe, anyone small playing back. Saw him mark a few bombs in the last quarter of the derby down back. That way we may be able to fit Griff, Clarke, and Sandi in. MAYbe

 

[Borry]

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.

Charming fans aren't they?

I threatened to get a Cardies fan evicted whilst umpiring a half time little league match at Freo Oval during a Bulldogs match 8 years ago because he spent five minutes heckling the crap out of my umpiring. Then the fans in the stands near the media box spent the whole second half chanting anti-umpiring crap whilst their side kicked themselves out of the game with 20 plus behinds.

Not a chance in hell.

The only way that works is if they only bomb it long to a contest. There wouldn't be a forward in the league that would get out run by Sandi on the lead.

Oh yeah, it could only work if we're up in the last and the opposition are getting desperate and losing poise. Didnt think that one through

I bet that made you feel important and powerful.

that was your first problem

and your point in bringing this up? i cannot believe that calling this d*ck a w*nker is an offense deserving of a warning
