I’ve been critical of Gaff for a while but after watching the game today (couldn’t watch it all last night) I have to say his game was the best I’ve seen for a while. He was trying to link the play quite a bit and seemed to be a bit more adventurous in some of his play rather than just get the cheap kick all the time. Even his kicking was better. I still think I’d be happy if he called time but he does play a role and was one of the Eagles players who chased and put pressure on.there are a few who just stopped but he wasn’t one of them. the young guys like Bazzo and Hough tried their guts out and you have to admire the way Duggan turned his poor form around but there were quite a few who just disappeared. Ryan, Rioli Waterman amount them

Retaining the ball is fine, but we don't do anything with it. We didn't win a flag kicking 20m sideways inside defensive 50. You need to make the ground big.
Look at Carlton, we kick a behind and then 30 seconds later the ball is at the other end in the hands of Curnow or McKay. Doesn't take a bursting run from Saad off half back, just a series of easy 30-40m kicks.
Teams press up on us and we can't execute a switch and create space or pick our way through the zone.

Small, bitter, fascinatingly unimpressive.

We have no depth to our kicking out of defence.
It's why Yeo makes such a big difference down back. His extra length often took the opposing loose man out of play and gave the forwards a crack at an even number contest.
Most other sides launch it when they kick from half back, typically past the attacking side of the centre square. We are lucky to make attacking side of centre circle.
Our defenders engage in these useless switches because they are scared shitless they are going to turn the ball over kicking forward.
Amazing what new ideas and new voices can do
There's a reason very few coaches last more than 10 years at one club
Anyone: Talks shit about Petch

Liked what iv'e seen from Trew, but i think he needs a spell in the 2's. Will probably get another couple games this year, needs a full pre season to build his tank and put some muscle on more importantly.
I don't think Trew played all that well on Sunday but then the Blues pressure on mids was fantastic. Replacing him with Winder who did very little in the WAFL seems counter productive, so another game would be the way to go. I haven't been a great fan of Foley as a half back but in the bits he has played as a mid and up forward he's looked heaps better so I'd give him another go as well. If I would be dropping anyone it would be Ryan who just looks to be going at half pace and has lost confidence.

This game and the Adelaide game at home will be the last two chances of a win (maybe the saints game if they are out of finals contention by then).
Not sure how accurate Goss usually is, but...

Apparently Willie Rioli senior has passed away. RIP. Was only 50.
Think we might be without Willie for a while.

What happened to witherden
Slow and turned the ball over too much. Basically in the side to help move the ball out of the backline effectively but we've been better at that without him.

It's alright, we're trading him anyway.

TRAINING NOTES: Sore Nic Nat and where’s Simmo hiding?
Adam Simpson was not spotted on the training track with West Coast on Tuesday, just hours after North Melbourne parted ways with the club’s senior coach.

West Coast hit the training track for a light session on Tuesday but Adam Simpson was nowhere to be seen just hours after North Melbourne parted ways with the club’s senior coach.
SORE NIC NAT
West Coast ruckman Nic Naitanui still appeared to be sore after labouring through the second half against Carlton on Sunday.
The 32-year-old spent most of the session with injured pair Elliot Yeo and Connor West, as well as Tom Barrass and Isiah Winder.
Naitanui dominated hit-outs but failed to have his usual influence up against young gun Tom De Koning in his second game back from a knee injury.
Forward Willie Rioli did not train.
WHERE’S SIMMO HIDING?
On the day North Melbourne axed David Noble, former Roos skipper now Eagles coach Adam Simpson was nowhere to be seen at training.
The club said Simpson was watching on from the balcony at Mineral Resources Park, despite not being spotted for the entire 90-minute session.
Simpson played more than 300 games for the Kangaroos but says he has no interest in the Roos top job.
GOV GETS OUT
Defender Jeremy McGovern made a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it appearance. The four-time All-Australian, ball in hand, watched on as teammates ran laps before swiftly returning to the sheds at the start of the session.
The Eagles have all but ruled out McGovern for the rest of the season given his serious rib injury. He is due to meet a surgeon on Wednesday to determine if he will play again this year.
CALL ON COLE?
With just six weeks to go in the home and away season, time is running out for premiership defender Tom Cole.
Currently on the inactive list, the Eagles resisted temptation to pick up a second mid-season recruit in the hope Cole could return in 2022.
While running laps looked a good sign early, the 25-year-old spent the latter stages of his session on the adjacent oval and appeared dejected walking back into the sheds.
