Unofficial Preview West Coast v Fremantle FEB 27th: Scratch Match **LIVE STREAM SAT 27th FEB 10am

[Eagle Wrath]

To to be fair we did try run and handball from defence in the first quarter but we just over possessed it and then gave up

Fair enough. I missed the first quarter.

 

[Eaglemaniac]

I was hoping to see some run out of the backline but it looks like we will stick to our short kicks out of the backline

Sideways.

 

[DanWA]

The umpires still continue to reward Walters for diving

 

[Priddis Is Done]

Vardy still 2 years past it ?

 

[Chris_6678]

Eh not concerned.

 

[Priddis Is Done]

The only real worry for me coming out of this game is just how f’ed we will be if NicNat gets injured. Vardy is getting slaughtered by a bloke who hasnt even played an AFL game. God knows what Gawn/Grundy etc would do to him, it would boarderline make us uncompetitive

Confirmed

Spud

 

[RookiePick]

Our ball movement is glacial in transition. Perfectly sets up contested ball that we are rubbish at.

It's really concerning that our three lines appear to operate autonomously of the others. It's like watching forwards, mids and back men from 3 different teams getting thrown together to play a scratchy.

 

[mad_eagle]

Welp...I’m off to the draft board to ask knightmare about top 10 mids in the 2021 draft!! At least we have our first pick this year to numb the pain if it all goes south

 

[TOA.]

I've seen the whole game and not concerned at all.

Cockburn clearly want it more - which is fair enough given any win against us is good given their recent record.

Definitely looked at our best when handballing.
Dunno why we stopped, even if it did break down, they're not going to get better at it by not practicing.

This.

I remember watching the pre-season game against Essendon and we were equally bad, but had less outs than we do today.

I don't think we should be concerned for our 2021 season based off today's game.

Although it is extremely disappointing that it's just "more of the same".

 

[Dylan82]

Thought we were only going until 12WST?

Might get 3mins of the last perhaps.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Anyone know what happened to Barrass?

Sounded like he went off in the second term. Other guys out of the game (Shuey, Gov, Petch) are running laps of the second oval but he’s not.

 

[Ochre]

Weird this is still going as the AFLW has started

 

[Eagle Wrath]

Duggan might get some brownlow votes this year with that hair. Hes the one i notice onscreen the most. Like when Nic Nat is out there. Draws the eyes.

The Priddis effect

I'd say they are being sneaky because know the the backlash

Yeah it’s had that feel for a while.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

I thought the streaming was cut off because it clashed with the Dockers’ AFLW game. I’d have understood that, but they don’t start until 2pm. There’s unlikely to be much crossover between people watching a Freo v WCE men’s scratchie and the Bulldogs v Giants in the AFLW.

 

[Dylan82]

Darling pinged for taking a step on the mark - Young misses the resultant shot.

 

[CursoryMercenary]

How Vardy is still on an AFL list is beyond me.

 

[squashface]

This new rule is going to cost teams games this year, what a farce.

 

[TOA.]

Geez Cole made hard work of that

 

[Dylan82]

Cripps kick s a scrappy goal after Cole tried to screw it up.

Ryan the creator again.

Wait it's not even a WA team playing?? Wow
