Game Day Practice Match,West Coast vs Richmond.

[The Mighty]

Has West Coast apologised for ginbeys scum act?

We will just get Harley Reid from them at the end of 26 season, that'll learn the Malakas

 

[Aristotle Pickett the3rd]

Watching the replay - 1st period thoughts:-

• For a multi billion dollar sport, it's amazing we can't have a camera with exposure adjusted to the light. And positioned close enough so that players don't look like ants.
• Sampson Ryan still has no second efforts. And still shoved off the ball by smaller players.
• OHB could be something. Looks surprisingly cluey.
• Lalor looks like a Cousins man child. Needs to be more accountable in one early contest gave away WC first goal through loose checking.
• Kmac still gives you everything.
• Ross looks like a man out there compared to others. Just needs poise.
• Bauer trying hard to get into the game.
• Gray gives us something promising. Still suprisingly lean though.
• nobody at the fall of the ball even when we have free kicks and can set up down the line.

Very methodical at 0.5x speed

Who is OHB?

 

[Coach_Required]

I am so depressed over the state of the club

Last year went pretty quick.

Who we getting with pick 1?

Hey everyone, I live in Perth and went to the game this morning. I stood right next to the players bench and got some amazing insights into the game as well as chatting to some of the players throughout the game. A few insights you might not have seen on the telecast below:

The Good:

Jacob Blight - Played a ripping game at Full Back. He will be huge for us before Balta gets back and will be an amazing 1-2 combo with Balta against the big forwards.

Kosi - I thought this guy was done but the shift down back is a master stroke. As the interceptor his positioning was great and his hands in the air are clean. U might not have been able to see it but in every eagles advance he was so well positioned and forced them to kick around him. When the eagles dominated in Q2 he was on the bench for a bit of it and our structure fell apart.

Thomson Dow - Was our best midfielder. His work rate was excellent and he covered the ground well. He seemed to be everywhere, I’m not sure of his stats but he was constantly in the right spots on the outside and was at the bottom of a lot of packs.

Kaleb Smith - His attack on the ball was like a baker clone. He needs to not try and kick the cover off the ball every time because his disposal was very untidy but he gave everything from half back.

Sims - give this kid 3 years. He plays like lynch and competed hard in the air. He never got outmarked and every contest was bought to ground. When he gets stronger and starts clunking them he is gonna be scary.

Fawcett - Thought he moved really well. The mids didn’t use him as much as they could have, he created a lot of good leads that weren’t honoured and like Sims everything he went for at least ended up 50/50 on the ground.

Campbell Gray - I didn’t know much about him but his marking is a standout. He’s not huge in terms of frame but his hands are sticky and he is tough. He won’t start the year in the seniors but his effort was strong and he will be pushing for senior footy this year.

Lalor - Fk me the kid is a monster. I went to Dusty’s first practice game all those years ago in Craigieburn and he had the swagger but he wasn’t nearly as big as Lalor looks already. Seriously couldn’t believe his size up close. The boy is gonna be special. Basically kicked 3 on debut and dominated Ginbey when he was at full forward. His midfield craft is going to be a work in progress. He is not good defensively at structures. The goal Hewett kicked in the first was because Lalor (who was matched against him at the stoppage) let him run straight through the contest unopposed and he didn’t have the speed to catch him once he realised the mistake. He does have good defensive skills though, his tackles made thunderous cracks around the ground and hurt eagles players.

The bad:

2nd term pressure. Man it was bad. The eagles played extra players and it was hot as (34 degrees) and the boys really didn’t handle it well. Our pressure was non existent at times and the eagles speed cut straight through us.

Hugo’s Injury: I was next to the bench in the first qtr and Hugo came off and he said to the physio, “ i felt something and I was probably 5% in trouble, now I feel like it’s only 1%). The physio gave him a run down and they sent him back on without doing any tests and bu the middle of the second qtr Hugo comes limping off with a hammy. Seriously when a player feels anything in a practice match, surely some due diligence is done?

Jacob Bauer - His attitude sucks. He came off swearing coz he dropped a mark. He seemed to be all about himself and in either the second or third he had a team mate streaming into goal and he burnt him and tried a hero snap that went out on the full. He didn’t do anything that screamed gun and he was selfish when he got near the footy.

Samson - Got monstered in the ruck. Doesn’t seem to be strong enough with his hands and can’t take a contested mark. Just don’t know where he fits when Nank comes in given we have so many tall forward kids that will be preferred in that role.

Tresize - Constantly out of position. Turned the ball over and just didn’t see anything good from him today.

Other notes:

I had a good chat with MRJ and he’s such a nice bloke. Even during the breaks he was out supporting the players on the field and he even helped the water boys carry the Gatorade dispenser off the ground. Just a class act.

I asked Blair for a photo and he laughed and said nah I’m not a photo guy lol. I said but ur the most important guy on our list and he gave me a wry smile and kept walking.

The team culture is really strong. Kamdyn and Rossy were strong leaders when they came to the bench, explaining plays to the younger guys and communicating with the coaches etc.

Overall the result wasn’t great but there was plenty of positives. The year will have more downs than ups but we have a lot of young talent and we just have to remember that they are gonna take time to learn and develop together.

Has Sims got the nickname 'Dimma' yet?

 

[Aristotle Pickett the3rd]

So am I understanding that Lalor has concussion, a bruised jaw and a bruised neck and there is not a report on Ginbey yet?

 

[RFCGloryJC]

Ginbey's push up there in the folklore with Little Libba's assault on Knighter.
Every dog will have its day.

 

[DustinsGuns]

That was a brutal watch. Really hard to find any positives.

It's going to be a long year if those kick-mark tactics are what we will employ. And I hardly think a side projected to win <5 games this year needs to be worried about hiding their game plan.

 

[captain blood 17]

About 8

Nankervis, Taranto, Hopper, Lynch, MRJ, Smillie, Balta, Prestia, Short, Vlaustin, Broad. And that's 11 off the top of my head. Now, do we include Lefau and Gibcus in there as well? So 13 and I didn't even have to think about it. Who else did I miss?

but still Yze fault why we lost.

Bunch of young kids playing in 34degrees against a more experienced team that also had extra players. I'm surprised we didn't get run off our feet in the last period. There was no way we'd play fast in those conditions imo.

Bring back Meehan

 

[sante]

I just hope we don’t play like that in the real stuff. It’s boring. Young team etc so hopefully that’s why we played that way.

Fingers crossed for Hugo and Lalor

 

[sante]

Bring back Meehan

Some will still blame him

watche replay and pretty much agree with all of this, Bauer is a bit of a head case I reckon. needs to think about his game more.
if gray kicked that goal in second we might have flowed on. we are going to have our good quarters. a top team plays 4 good qtrs, we played ok for 2. ruck is a worry for me. and our body strength and poise with ball in hand. got to keep playing blight and lalor, thats 2 pluses right there.

 

[Pattiger]

Dirty dog act by a Dirty ****ing dreg
Should get 10 weeks

Ginbey action was reckless - there is a real possibility that by shoving Lalor into another player that an injury may occour - in this case concussion - he should be brought before an AFL Tribunal -
