And let's be honest, if the situation and relative strength of the teams was reversed, some on here would be on suicide watch right now.

Details are a bit vague but pretty sure Banfield pulled down his pants in the contest and gave him a smack on the bottom. Shuey then interpretted that as consent and tried to give Banners a reach around, Banfield rejected his advances, Shuey had a cry and then complained to the umpire that he was entitled to as a West Coast player to touch whatever he wanted. Hackdorn will likely interrupt Beaumont on 6PR with a teary plea about how unfair the umpire was being.

I’ve been underwhelmed by Bewley these preseason games given all the pump ups/TTHD’s he won.
Should have taken Masten
ha ha
It happened last year too, maybe not to the same extent. I think he is lucky that we have so many injuries.

He looks really slow getting to contests imo. Always second to the ball and doesn’t stick tackles.

Looks like he's learnt he can't bust tackles at this level and has adapted accordingly.
Andy and Mitch are both excellent at staying in the contest around the ball. Both a pretty good tacklers for their size too.
They'll keep us in contests we should be getting battered in.

Bewley hasn’t switched on that he belongs at AFL level. Just needs to play to his strengths.
Really enjoyed that, although frustrating at times the boys will come together as the season progresses. I think this was probably a reflection of how the season will go - patches of absolute pus sprinkled with patches of exciting football.
It's a shame we have no other tall backs because I really don't like Cox in defence. He played today the way he has played for Peel in defence, where he just seems to be way too slow and casual, particularly with his kicking. I commented to a mate that if he had Tobe Watson's intensity with his skills he'd be a champion. I guess he's the best we have until either Alex or Joel comes back, but he worries me whenever he has the ball in hand.
Griffin Logue showed today he is much better than just a third tall defender, and when we get Alex and Joel back we will be well set up. Then we have guys like Luke Ryan, Nathan Wilson, Taylin Duman, Ethan Hughes, Tobe Watson all getting games with Hayden Young, Jason Carter and Jarvis Pina all showing great signs.
Midfield depth is looking good, which will allow Fyfe and Walter to play more forward.
The real depth worries are still the talls, but if we can just get them healthy and back on the park we will scare a few teams late in the year.

Watching Brayshaw chasing hard in the last and turning the game was great to see. That foot better be ok.
Have we even talked about how good Logue was?? Gave Kennedy an absolute bath!
What I liked was the ability to switch from a defensive mindset to attacking. It will only improve also. A Ross coaches team would never have the attacking nous to come back from 4 goals down in the last 10 minutes. Wind or no wind.

Just watching the last 10 minutes again and Tucker is in absolutely everything.
I've always thought of him as being a 'cream on top' type player, but he was the whole cake out there.

I'd give Bewley more time.
Pretty funny isn't it. Even Hughes got a gong over him. I thought our whole back line was pretty good today - their forwards only kicked 2 goals total.Not even listed in the best 6 for Freo on AFL.com
He did kick 6 goals last week.
Hughes is the defender version of Langdon in that he does everything bar disposal really well, but the disposal... Actually, he is probably slightly better than Ed at kicking.
Didn't see JJK last week but I'm a fan (easily my favourite WCE with Gov over the last decade) and he's looked not himself for a couple of years. I know injuries and all that but JJK from 3 years ago at least gets a kick in the first half.
Not taking anything from Griff, dude is a jet.

Once again really liked JLo’s presser. No bullshit, answers questions properly and honestly. Plus gives really encouraging feedback of the players.
Give me this any day over Ross and his annoying roundabout answers trying to be the smartest kid on the block.

Who the fuc.k goes out of the team when Pearce, Hamling, Ryan, Wilson, Aish, Acres, Mundy, Hogan are fit??? And even Young and Henry?
JLo why did you create this headache for yourself by giving fringe players belief and making them perform.

Bailey Banfield reminds me of max rooke (if thats how you spell his name) premiership player for geelong about a decade ago.
2 things i liked from today apart from the obvious
1. The fact that with so many out from our best 22, our depth has always been a worry. For the first time today it seemed we have some of that depth.
2. Love JL !!!!! Love how the first time in front of the media was like he had a mouth full of golf balls, and as a reporter the word "UMM" was clearly the message JL was trying to get out.... He has worked on it and sounded so much more confident in front of the camera today. I just love him for some reason.
I liked Ross, but so many times i would cringe and think....Ross the reporter is doing his job and asking a question... why do you have to be a Wa#$%r sometimes.
Added bonus - i reckon the players love JL. When they are asked about him they give a beaming smile, and today they CLEARLY played for their coach in the last qtr.

I love Tucker and think / hope he'll be our standout 2nd best mid by years end but one thing that still annoys me about him is his lack of killer instinct around goals. Should have drilled that one in the first qtr and that hand pass to Darcy to start the 4th qtr...
