Good effort by Pukeington with 27 touches 7 tackles. Not Bubbas best game but 27 touches, maintaining his WAFL average of 24 touches a game. Every game I've seen him play he is still running hard in the last quarter and picking up touches. His ground coverage for WAFL would be elite - not bad for a 19 year old.

At the back end of the 2014 season Schoey, Mitch Brown, Emac and a few players were doing a lot more gym work than usual and it was a blessing in disguise for Schoey for the following year when he was big enough to take on the oppositions tall forwards. Think we seriously need to do that with Josh Rothan and maybe Oscar Allen.

Snapped from the pack that lead directly to a WP goal.

Yes that was a mistake, but rushing a quick kick from a stoppage in the D50 is an error i've seen even top tier midfielders do at AFL level, simply because there is so much pressure. Bit harsh to call out that as a flaw in his game today when he offered great attack on the contest and good rebound all day.

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.
Plenty of his kicks that I saw were fine. Some short passes were flat bullets. He was drafted because he has a big tank for a kid which will only get better, knows how to find the ball, is quite clever in traffic, is pretty good overhead, and is courageous. He looks to have the type of frame where he will fill out into a solid boy.

Did you watch the game mate?

I don't really barrack for a wafl side but the umpiring was shite house.
I watched in total probably half the game, I didn't see anything to get upset about, must of missed all the biased decisions.:p

Partingtons curse continues....

Be interested to hear from anyone who saw the reserves to see if they witnessed the Burrows incident and his conduct towards the end of the game. Not sure someone who had 4 disposals, 3 frees against and 4 50m penalties against should act with such arrogance.
