Playing Vardy out of the ruck was a mistake. If he’s not rucking play him in the threes or don’t play him.

I'm really unsure why we drafted Ainsworth. I don't see anything in him that screams AFL standard. His kicking and decision making is atrocious. Waste of a mid 20s pick.
I'm sure a lot of 32 year old posters are thrilled to find out they're still in their mid-20s :p

Wasn't a very inspiring game to listen to, sounds like East Perth were a bunch of turnover merchants and it was West Perth getting all the praise for their pressure. Ah well, hope they fire up after the bye.

Thought the difference was probably the Royals' number one key defender going off 60 seconds into the match. Left them a rotation down (exacerbated by Vardy looking like he was on limited minutes) and left Ollen and Rotham outmatched by Keitel and Lourey.

West Perth still the better performed team on the day but it would have been a lot closer if Anderson had been able to stay out there.

Brander and Oscar the only real positives from that game for me.

I think we should put Matt Allen back permanently and shift Oscar forward. He has the bulk and the pace to compete down there and would allow Oscar to play his natural game. Oscar should also get a run through the middle. It can't really happen when he's down back.

Webster seems to have all the creativity of a sponge in the box, sadly.

Horrible ball use coming out of HB was where they did the damage.

If you keep turning the ball over 60m from goal with short, slow passes- you are going to give up a lot of goals. That’s what happened today.

We like to kick the ball so I am sure that is a plan for the alignment but EP kicked the ball like Fremantle did yesterday rather than us with our quick ball movement.

West Perth had far superior ball use, skills, decision making and didn't make many basic skill errors.

Agree about the Allens. I see the temptation to play Oscar back though.
