Game Day Round 3, 2025: West Coast vs Fremantle - The Owen Derby

[Spange]

This should be a 10-15 goal drubbing.serrong been a killer.

I’ve liked Ginbey, Maric, Hough and think baker and graham have looked composed despite some comments. Do want to see Bo and Clay come in. Hewitt might be having his minutes managed still

 

[Crimson King]

Mini has had three games.
He will work it out

Not blaming him. Hoping, he sees the light.

 

[garlic munchers]

I’d be happy for Baker to have one less training standard and one more ability to hit a simple handball

Unbelievable that we constructed our whole trade/draft period around him.

 

[ioppolo]

During that period, Woosh dropped the average senior players to the WAFL in favour of giving young players games whenever possible which resulted in 'tanking' claims pointed at us at one point.

He mentioned specifically during his press conferences during that period, that you get the youth to 50-60 games as quickly as possible to climb back up the ladder quickly.

We have avoided doing this, thus far.

Which senior players were dropped? Most were injured on and off. Staker and Seaby were moved on, others retired.

 

[Boohemian]

Harsh on Hunt guys - a freebie who always gives an effort.

Way bigger problems than him out there.

Nope. He's taking development away from younger players. He's not the future.

 

[Dom sheed pocket]

I honestly don’t think Mini has any idea what to do with this piss poor excuse for a football team.

Yep, he has about 2 levers to pull to fix about 15 problems.

Harley is unfit and out of shape, not producing, and yet is undroppable.
Oscar is non competitive up forward
Duggan is not a good midfielder, Tim Kelly is checked out and plays a good game once a month
Hewett fumbles make Cripps look clean
Subbing off Edwards 2 minutes before Gov gets injured is just bad look, but who subs their FB off?

Harley needs to come out of the midfield, he is Elliot Yeo 2021 levels of unfit. Give his minutes to Hewett or Gross or Hall.

 

[Here2tellyouwhy]

Man, I am just tired of being bad

We pushed the premiers away in the heat.

We play a potential top 8 team with no travel and an extra day off and you're losing it

 

[WCEswift]

Wheres terrible tim been since half time

 

[Avalor]

Freo have 6 goals from key forwards - what have we got? Not much! Not much at all!

 

[Ace McKane]

**** me at least we didn’t cough up for Bolton

 

[Balls In]

I feel sorry for the commentary team trying to put lipstick on this pig.

 

[Total_Juddshanks]

If Freo hadn't been horrific from set shots this would have been an 85-100pt drubbing.

 

[wadistance]

Should be going after Banfield as a mature body to protect the kids, he has the skills to fit right in.

Hope you’re talking about Drew

 

[ioppolo]

Brook Lopez vibes from Hunt with his hairdo

 

[Mudguts12]

One positive is Archer Reid today. Smart player and great mark.

 

[Eaglemaniac]

Great kick to advantage by Hewett and good mark by Reid

 

[Smeg Head]

Why isnt that 50 when someone not contesting the mark comes in and collects high?

 

[THE A5]

Kid needs to get a special goal kicking coach

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Archer has played well but not sure how you make this level with this level of goalkicking.

 

[Barrybran]

Archer has had a pretty solid game for 6 disposals

 

[Boohemian]

Great mark from Archer Reid. Can't kick a goal, but showing more than Allen.

 

[Here2tellyouwhy]

Not blaming him. Hoping, he sees the light.

Its us mate.

Pyke running it. Mini clean slate.

Hurn shuey Woosha at the club.

Harley. Ginbey. Few others.

Its all good.

 

[WCEswift]

Waterman Gross shanahan Brock Grego in

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Kelly 14 touches.

Over to you, Mini. He can't rock up and try once every three weeks.

 

[Boohemian]

Archer has played well but not sure how you make this level with this level of goalkicking.

Not as a Key Position Forward, anyway.
