Game Day Round 2: West Coast VS Hawthorn - Sunday 3rd @ the 'G

[MWPP]

Duggan 's injured

 

[WCE Wizard]

We're not out of it, but we're not in it

agreed unless we kick the first 3 goals then you never know

 

[EagleShore]

definitely need more mongrel and pressure in the contest, someone please tackle Mitchell into the turf. Can't stand his arrogance though he kinda has the runs on the board to justify it. Yeo needs to back himself more in the middle, can be evasive but rushes his kicking. If he could go on and emulate Hall from GCS that's be greeeaat.

 

[Swift Chubby]

There's some dills in this thread flogging Hill.

If Simpson can get everyone on the same page we should be able to get back. If it ain't evident on TV this is way below par from the boys.

Watching the stoppage structures unless we massively improve in this area i don't think we can win the flag with coxy as our stoppage coach. Our structures and setups at ball ups and thrown ins have been terrible and it's a very large part of the reason we are losing.

 

[new breed]

Good quarter, need another !!

 

[Eagle got a win]

Dare I say it we could use a bit of honey badger

 

[getgaff]

Need to make Gibson far more accountable after half time or just go complete lock down on him. Playing to his terms as that floating defender and kicker around the ground

Not sure what the latest with Dugg is either. Need him to maximize our mid rotations

 

[frenchconnection]

Can we throw hunter forward ?

We've got Gov for that!!

 

[ioppolo]

Piss off Brad Sewell.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

As much as I hate the old pricks in my block at Subi who never bothered keeping up with the tactical changes of the AFL, I'm going to back them in today - Simmo, tell the boys to man up.

Seriously, zone isn't working, the link up play has improved and we've settled in the last few minutes and begun taking on contest, but there's simply nobody down field to kick to or lead at it because they're all too high up the ground in the structure. Just stick someone on the hip of Gibson (would be Cripps for me) at the very least.

 

[EagleShore]

Duggan 's injured

went to get beer in that second term...what happened? Please not a knee or other long-termer. PLEEEASE!

 

[SpaceClef]

So frustrated having to watch this at the ground. Hawthorn set up so well against us I can't see us ever beating them at the G.

If we are ever lucky enough to get the ball it seems like the next 30 seconds are already predetermined:
Kick long to a 2 on 1, our guy tries their ass off to win the ball only for the loose Hawthorn player to collect and pin point a pass 45° forward.

It's clinical and we are hopeless to fight it.

It's all to do with coaching and our mentality.

Just horrible to know we can bury other sides yet put us at the G with these flogs and we completely fall to bits

What's wrong with Duggan, is it serious ?

Yeo needs to lift.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Played Puopolo ok all things considered and did a number on Rich and a few others last week. He was never the most agile bloke, I think he's probably just back to his pre-knee level it just wasn't that high to begin with maybe

Did a number on Rich? Every time the ball hit the ground Rich got around him easily (from memory).

 

[WCE Wizard]

- Duggan may be sore, but he hasn't looked like the same player this year.
- Redden and Jetta both seem underdone.
- No run from the backline. Shep and Schofield down. Hurn ok that qtr
- Midfield rubbish. Out tackled, slow.
- Yeo very disappointing. One good possessionlate in the qtr. maybe give him some confidence.
- Darling started to get into it that qtr.
- Natanui looks a bit sore or something.
- McKenzie probably our best. Excellent.
- Bennell trying but cant get near it.
- Hill good. Looks lively.
- Cripps jittery.
- We've been monstered in the contests.
- Uncontested possessions 151-66!
- Possessions 234-132!
- Simmo: what ever you did during the week, it didn't work.

We are lucky to be 21 points down should be 50 points down credit to the back line

 

[Bender_]

Can Hamish and Sewell go suck each other off to Hawks footage in the privacy of their own home, channel 7?

Cheers

 

[new breed]

Jetta will strike when least expected !!

 

[WCE Wizard]

So many pissweak passages of play

Agreed just bombing it forward rather than finding a target

 

[frenchconnection]

Still have concerns over his agility post-knee. Gets done when the ball hits the ground basically every time now.

Probably still lacking confidence in his knee. Was he like that before his knee went as can't recall?

 

[Magnum27]

Good to see Yeo has carried on GF form , 3 touches to half time is a disgrace

 

[Barney44]

Time to pick the team horses for courses in big pressure games and "rest" Mark LeCras.

 

[Godfather32]

Jetta will strike when least expected !!

Tomorrow?

Yeo needs to lift.

Ankle twice re-strapped

 

[Jeeves]

Looking on the bright side. We'll out score them in this quarter and run over them in the last.
