Game Day 2024 Round 04 Eagles v Swans @ Mt. Barker @ 1:30 pm

[swanssince2002]

Tbf Reid is going to be a superstar sometime soon but making him look like Judd at times this game

 

[kickthething]

The skills are one thing, but the thing we can really control that has to improve after the bye is the tackling efforts. Teenagers breaking out of tackles laid by senior players simply isn't good enough.

Thank * for Heeney.

A lot of jumper grabbing…

 

[Millky95]

Still being out tackled and out marked

 

[coach beard]

Not sure this lead will be enough given West Coast come home with the breeze. They've played smarter than us

 

[Jack Lord]

We played well for a few rounds.

The competition adjusted against us.

Now it doesn't look like we know what to do.

 

[BarneyBent]

Win or lose the bye is coming at a good time. Hopefully we use the week off to sort out whatever is going on in the changerooms and get some trust back.

 

[SSwans2011]

A lot of jumper grabbing…

Yep and one-handed efforts with no intent. Same as last week.

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

We are less warp speed and more Thunderbirds.

Have been a big fan of JMac from before he played his first game.

However I am now thinking of him as Virgil from the Thunderbirds.

West Coast will come home strong with the umps, breeze least of our worries

I have to say I’m loving the promotion of south Australia - it is a great place, I go over there several times a year and worked over there for a year. I had a ball, there is always something to do, the scenery is really amazing, having had the luxury of travelling the state with my job, the coastal regions are breathtaking, and the there are the vineyards!!! I’ve been to far too many of them (my purchases have certainly contributed to the SA economy) was worlds oldest flower girl at friends wedding on kangaroo island. Basically, if you’ve not been to SA do it, you’ll be surprised how special it is!!

2 weeks ago I was going on about how great our depth was.
Now, it’s a case of which 5 or 6 players should be dropped to the magoos?!

This is a real slog. Lucky the umpies are keeping us ahead. Very lucky. We don't look convincing when we go forward. Just a long bomb. Our mids are holding onto the ball far too long. Taking on the player instead of offloading. Too much cute stuff. Then we cough it up. Dreadful game. They would be pretty confident. We are not up by enough

Yeah it looks like we either don't have a plan b or we have massive issues changing to it when we need to.

 

[Wolfgang West]

What does Horse actually do with the mids? Like what do they do at training?

Been 7 years of this s**t

It really is a joke. Every stoppage especially centre bounces we all get sucked to where the ball lands where the opposition have 2 outlets if tackled by common sense ground positioning. We are like a ****ing U/9 Auskick team. Yep its been going on for more than a few seasons and Senior Coach nobody else needs to be accountable for it. We make C grade midfields look elite.

 

[smeggaz]

Papley has had a nothing game and Amartey is crap - shown glimpses but you can't keep him, Logan and Doss in the same side.

Campbell really isn't living up to his hype and our tackle pressure and tackles in general suck ass. Would be nice to see Roey crackin hard this quarter.

Taylor serviceable and JJ bleh.

JMac has been very poor

Will probably get howled down but that’s what we have criticised Horse for before we have plan an and he can’t switch mid game.

 

[The King!]

massive chance to lose this

 

[Ed_Gein]

Does anyone know if there is a breeze kicking to the left? Not sure I've heard anything yet...

 

[Day_night_honourer]

F**k Papley off to the reserves. Our supposed star forward and "captain"...offered absolutely nothing this season.

Umm, did you watch the Bombers game?
First 2 weren’t too shabby either ..

Granted, today and last week very ordinary - but whole season??

 

[LukeParkerno1]

During the bye?

make him run

He’d find a way to not do that well

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Amartey and Haybarn are some combo.

 

[The King!]

If we can get to 30 up Papley might turn up for a goal or 2
