2018 non-freo nonsense (aka discussion)

[FUS_RO_DAH]

Wow is this the first time Matty DeBoer has been called "exciting"?

Other than outside of the Girl Talk thread, yes

No excuses for Port. They're mentally weak and are truly flat track bullies. Had plenty of chances to win that but crumbled under pressure. And then to allow a kick out of the stoppage and not have anyone to go against McGov was just basic.

Ebert and Clurey. Completely cost port that game.

Put up a fight? They were favourites

 

[electricfeel]

Port play worse than us. So defensive.

Rayner is a gun.

That handball earlier was sublime.

I think Port would have won pretty easily if they didn't lose 3 players during the game.

 

[yyou]

port powder puffs suck!

 

[FreoRicci]

Port should just rebuild. They're cooked now. Hinkley can't coach these days

Yeah they were unlucky. WCE were always going to run it out better.

Where do people get those age average stats from games? How does Brisbane stack up V Collingwood this round?

To be fair they lost the two players most critical to them.
The Eagles dominated stoppages after Ryder and Dixon got injured

They should have put West Coast away early before the injuries. Then were crap when trying to defend the small lead late.

WC were dominating well before Dixon and the other bloke got injured and if they're going to drop their bundle when Ryder goes down and have to ruck against Lycett and Verdy they don't have much substance.

Still confident both Giants and Tigers comfortably better sides than west coast. Gonna have to hope GWS finish third and knock em off over here in week one.

 

[Sir Deadly]

GWS are having the worst luck with injuries this year. Will be scary when they get their stars back!

 

[AAACockburn]

Surprised it took this long till Nic Nat started loving the camera again.

Thought Lobb's ruckwork was very good. Didn't watch all the game, but he had the better hits in the centre square in the last quarter vs Jacobs. If you're going to chase him its primarily for his marking...but if he can ruck like that, he's worth it.

 

[Purplrrr]

I love watching Callan Ward play. Just pure footballer. Tough skilful leader, does everything right.

If Sandilands retires, I’m not sure I could wait around for Darcy / Jones / Meek to get to an appropriate level. As much as I love Darcy, he’s a fair way off. Injuries this year haven’t helped.

I’d trade for him. GWS would be mad to get rid of him. He’s their best ruck by a long way.

Yeah, it doesn't seem a good move if they got rid of someone in an area they're deficient in. I have heard rumours about a salary cap squeeze at GWS, but if they trade Lobb they would have to get in another ruck, and that'll probably cost if they want a good one.

Usually I see him struggle in the hit out work but thought he made up for that by being mobile and a very good contested mark around the ground when taking on a back up role. Maybe GWS see him as a No 1.

I know he hasn't had the five years of development that you thought he'd need, but would you trade for English? Be in his third year next year.
