Game Day Practice Match,West Coast vs Richmond.

[Bojangles17]

Who plays second tall to Lynch? Fawcett barely got near it and Bauer a bit of a spud I reckon.

Gray looked the best. Even Sims showed more than Bauer and Fawcett

Grays anatomy

 

[Groupie_]

I’m just glad I got to see 3 flags in 4 years . Best

not enough

 

[Bojangles17]

Thought Fawcett was ok, got to contests and competed. Will get better. Sims too despite the butter fingers.

Both better than the gimps we usually pick as tall forwards. 200+ uncompetitive small forwards were our usual type.

Gray was the best of the 4 but seemed better way up the ground.

Bauer sucked big time.

I’m already sick of hearing got to contests and presence ,I wanna hear marks and shots at goal , I could run around like a mad campaigner and not get a kick too ,
Marks
Kicks
Goals
All that matters

 

[The Mighty]

if 90s/2000s Eddie McGuire was our president, this would already be done and signed off.

current RFC are on the slow bus to the ground, and late to come out after the second period.

CFL will probably fine us

Fawcett marked a couple. Sims dropped a few but 1st game so would cut some slack.

1st year key position talls generally do **** all anyway
Dunno why everyone has such high expectations

Saw he took a nice mark on boundary

Tried to take hanger and nearly ****ed his back again lol

 

[sportshow]

wasn't a day for forwards today .... which makes Lalors efforts even more impressive

What happens if Lynch goes down again? Balta or Kosi back to the forward line? These kids are going to get smashed if they play.

Bauer too small to be KP

 

[tropicaltiger]

That shove should be graded the same as a dangerous tackle.

yep remember when hawkins gave an all mighty shove to a tiger defender resulting in a chain reaction and soldos knee buckling and missing 18 months of footy
umpires verdict - nothing to see here, mark/free kick cats.

Yea I saw that too , was hoping to see a few big marks clunked in f50 . Only 2 I saw were from lalor . Blight and gray both looked worthy of an opportunity sooner than later . OHB shows a bit of promise , not dissimilar to early days soldo maybe a bit better

Gotta be Balta imo

The boys down back have a good month and a bit to settle without him so they will have somewhat of an understanding of how to play without him

Other option is Nank with Ryan getting the lions share of the ruck duty’s

No outcome would be ideal and agree without lynch our kids will be destroyed

Bauer was very disappointing

Here are the moments I picked out from the second quarter that cost us most. Their numbers running through the middle was also notable but given our poor team balance not that surprising.

50 seconds - dropped mark by Samson at half forward leads to a break, and mark and goal inside 50.
2.45 min - Hugo does hamstring while attempting to stop an attack, Banks puts a half arsed effort into a tackle and then McIntosh tries to draw an offensive foul in basketball, goal.
5 min - Samson let’s Ginbey take a contested mark on the wing
6 min - Sonsie punches the ball in the direction of the boundary and it goes straight to Ginbey
6.20 min - Blight kicks a grubber that costs us a goal.
7.50 min - blown away by genuine pace #43, Mansell couldn’t catch him. Shit effort by Kozi reading the flight of the ball on the goal line.
11.45 min - Piss weak tackle attempt by Dow followed Miller giving up a mark to Oscar Allan that he could have easily stopped.
13.30 min - Comedy of errors at half forward finished off by OHB giving a hospital handball to Smith, then we get outworked on the rebound for another Allan goal.
16 min - dumb attempt to play on by Alger nearly costs us on the rebound.
18.15 min - shit positioning and contest by Bauer just in front of our goal.
19.30 min - Bauer gives away an unrealistic attempt inside 50, not sure if there but then gives 50m as well.
20.30 min - Steely with a hack kick from half back (after a mark) that is straight to WC on the wing. Inside 50 as a result, mark and goal Allan.
23.15 min - Bauer with a stupid attempt to mark up forward leaving us short on the ground.

Kinda feel sorry for Collingwood when we grind them into the dirt with a full squad …. Bookmark it

We lose by 20 goals instead of 15 probably

 

[SouthernStripes]

I reckon OHB will see a bit of game time in the seniors this year. Looks stronger than Ryan

If these are the ones you picked out I would hate to see the full list

for those without koyo
youtube has the highlights up now.

I didnt watch the 2nd my take was we struggled to win contested ball , our offensive game is very much built on handball to start the chain our f50 has zero presence lacking both aerial and at ground level

A stronger line up will def improve our contested work and no of entries , I’m concerned how we shape up in f50 . Here’s hoping lynch plays a lot of footy as that’s a start , MRJ too will help

 

[kozi]

As if Mansell and Trez stunk it up. The training reports from PRE had them flying

 

[chriso11]

Not much of a selection criteria… a budgee with a broken wing would be stronger than Ryan

 

[Bojangles17]

In the other terms we were pretty well level on points I’d say

 

[Jammo1111]

Today’s game is the type of games I want to see from high draft picks in their first year.

Did he get much of the ball? No. But that’s because he was in the forward line and our midfield had pretty much no one in it. Still kicked 2 goals despite the disadvantage he faced.

Big potential.
