Game Day Best Coast Eagles v Old Coast Suns

[CursoryMercenary]

Tonight probably confirmed our worst fears, we're not in great shape.

 

[woosha24]

F*ck me can Shitlich please not commentate our games anymore?
Dude's got a hand on the trouser-snake talking about what GC will take away from the game.

 

[BrotherDodge]

Liam Ryan is the embodiment of the Eagles right now. Either brilliant or an absolute shambles with no middle ground.

 

[eagles rule]

Good to get the 4 points and a good contest after half time from GCS ..

 

[CursoryMercenary]

Vardy is really useless right now, he'd be lucky to get another game with us this year.

 

[kaiserchief13]

Ehh Pet missed 2 very gettable ones. He kicks those and he suddenly has a very solid night.

Definately not our worst.

Tackling pressure is s**t

 

[campaigner___]

Mmmm, same strugglers as the last couple of weeks, Oscar, Venables, Schofield and Cole. Lots of **** handballs and kicks from most out there.
Shuey, Yeo, Guv and Shep were good, Darling did enough, all in all very average.

I love Oscar, he needs a spell, but he won't get one. No one is ready to take his spot.

Venables will go out for Mallen- he absolutely needs to.

Schofield will be dropped for the young campaigner in Rotham.

I thought Cole was ok tonight.

 

[Dark Sharks]

Vardy was really good until the game started.


BOG in warm-up

 

[amazingjoshy]

Hope to god Hickey is OK. Vardy cannot ruck.

Very similar to the Freo game, looked comfortable first half, started playing like millionaires, lost the momentum then lucky to hold on.

Simmo needs a plan B

Is this really Simmo's fault? Clearly the players know how to play as seen in the first half. Dropping off is something the players need to work on.

Sad face

Completely out hunted at ground level again

Not exactly.

+12 Ground Ball Gets
+5 Contested Possessions
+31 Tackles

We outscored Gold Coast 37-2 from stoppages.

The problems are located elsewhere.

 

[Coasters7]

Done nothing most of the game

I disagree. He’s been the one that’s been willing to go in hard. Can’t do it all but was massive when we needed it.. his dash out of packs a few times when the game was tightening up was crucial

 

[Cuzz09]

Just want to see Simmos presser now thats all.

Where did we come unstuck tonight?

Still don't think it's ganeplan, more intent, desire.

Ball movement.

Completely died in the ass in the second half and were laughably bad at moving the footy.

Credit to Dew and his team for making that happen whilst also releasing the shackles on their own ball movement.

 

[Benji85]

On another note: Pavlich really is such an insufferable campaigner

49 of Gold Coast's total of 57 points came as a result from West Coast turnovers.

Or another way, 14/17 of their scoring shots resulted directly from turnovers.

That is the issue that needs to be addressed.

Why not bring in brooksby

They are clearly not fit enough.

Thank you

Vardy is just average WAFL quality ruck but he is ok forward. If Hickey is out for a while and Vardy is our No 1 we are in trouble.

Ball movement.

Completely died in the ass in the second half and were laughably bad at moving the footy.

Credit to Dew and his team for making that happen whilst also releasing the shackles on their own ball movement.

All Dew did was park two spares in front of his back six after half time.

As a result we stopped using the corridor and fell into all too familiar trap of kicking long down the wing to outnumbered contests.

Conversely, it allowed Gold Coast to start using the corridor out of defence, which plays havoc with our own defensive setup.


With our midfield well on top the response should have been to get aggressive and make those spares accountable, effectively setting up a forward eight and ensuring that ownership of the corridor is maintained.

I reckon that is a good thing compared to being smashed in contested ball.

A lot easier to fix

The flag last year has really done a number on him... So I just smile when I hear the bitterness and envy when he speaks. He and his club failed, our club didn’t. As is normal. Maybe I’m just petty but ah well

 

[Natho]

That sucked baaaalllls
