Game Day Round 9, 2025: West Coast vs Richmond

[kranky al]

Faark that hurt

 

[Free Agent]

We are not going to win this year after that

Round 19 we play Richmond in Perth with McGovern Allen and Yeo back.
We win easy against this mob with those three ins

 

[Cornelius Roy]

Graham told Gross to go but Graham didnt shepherd

this is it. Don’t blame the kid, senior player refusing the work to protect

 

[Smotie2]

We left an easy 5 goals on the table - like, really gettable ones / soft giveaways.

So did they

 

[PremiershipNo4]

Boys tried their guts out well done.
**** that hurt!

 

[Corn69]

Nah, chin up Grossly, 50 more games and you'll be kicking that.

**** this shit man. We could get 15 injuries

 

[steve hucka]

Umpires were never letting us win that one

 

[Knifey Spoony]

Poor from Gross but plenty of opportunities to be a few goals up at that point that we left behind. I hope everyone gets around the kid, huge part of our future

 

[dajesmac]

I like and feel bad for Gross. I’d forgive it a bit more of it wasn’t such a regular thing he does though

 

[FKASC]

Profoundly unenjoyable experience going to that game

 

[Goroyals22]

Oh man. That sucks. We were on.
Where was the voice or a shepherd or anything?
Fuuuck

The blokes run past Harley Reid and graham who did nothing to block the way for gross who for some reason bounced the ball after two steps which slows him naturally. .. selfish play

 

[Mudguts12]

Gross. Unfortunately probably not quite ready for the top level.

But the boys tried their hearts out. Just don’t have the polish

Gross is fine at AFL level, Brockman told him to go.

 

[BG__]

Shattered.

Shit goal kicking
Shit umpiring
Shit communication
Shit mistakes
Shit leaders

 

[kranky al]

2011 qualifying final against the pies at the mcg.

Yup

 

[TY24]

Umpires were never letting us win that one

We’ve only got ourselves to blame. Lost by 2 points and missed 3-4 absolute sitters.

 

[KaaL]

He didn’t have to ****ing bounce the ball.

 

[KBLT]

WET TOAST HAHAHA

At least come here with your real account campaigner

 

[CursoryMercenary]

I'm done with footy and footy shows for the week already...

 

[Mulldogg]

He'll learn but Gross had to handball that

Needed to kick the goal or hit a target. Bounce wasn’t needed

 

[Free Agent]

He didn’t have to ****ing bounce the ball.

Yeah the bounce is what did it. Should of kicked it and would of been fine

 

[element]

Gross needs to play from the first bounce; give him time to adjust to the speed. Sub him late if he gets gassed, but that should be the plan going forward. He's only 18 so I don't know that he'd be able to play out 4 qtrs if he isn't subbed due to injury elsewhere.

 

[ziad]

Its a cruel game

It is, a gutsy fight with too many errors. I would have taken the effort but a cruel finish.

 

[Barrybran]

Nah, chin up Grossly, 50 more games and you'll be kicking that.

50 more games and he'd be kicking it rather than bouncing it

 

[Monocle]

Gross. Unfortunately probably not quite ready for the top level.

But the boys tried their hearts out. Just don’t have the polish

Maybe... just maybe Kelly could have blocked the tackler rather than point, lack of team footy let Gross down, on that last thrust forward
