Game thread - WCE vs Melb

[the_insid3r]

Would have thought that was Fletchers last game.

Don't bet on it. Woosha loves the guy. Poor selection....poor coaching....no excuses

 

[Rubber Pants]

I like Rosa and I'm big on player loyalty but if I ran the club I would

A) Listen to offer for Rosa during trade week
B) Not give him anything more than a 2 year contract.

As for Marcus Drum, you should talk to the Dogs about Higgins. Did you freaks pass him over as well?

lalalalalalalalalalalala I'm not listening

 

[pacemaker]

Off topic but Callum Wilson has 2 to quarter time for Souths. Possible elevation maybe?

Im a south Freo man as well, but i dont think he will help the west coast eagles forward line all that much at the moment. Pehaps next year

 

[CoastersFlag No.5]

We were pathetic we lost on the road again. We will not win a game on the road for another year. We lose our talent at Perth Airport and pick it back up again at home. I can't see this group winning away for the rest of the season and most of next year they don't have the mental/physical toughness to deal with the travel. I wouldn't back us against the Geelong Falcons away.

If they wanted to go smaller today then that's fine, but they should of dropped Spangher and not Mckenzie. You don't drop an inform tall but keep in an out of form tall. Stupid decision.

he has been a good servent of our club he deserved to get a game after weeks and weeks of good performances in the wafl. But today he didnt deliver and stuffed up many times so probably his last.

Considering Woosha's objective, it was a very smart decision.

Thoughts from the game:

Negative -

1. Fletcher and Stenglein. Too slow, too crap, too old. Fletcher has played his last game for West Coast. Stenglein will not be too far behind him.

2. Mitch Brown. Good young player but terrible terrible decision making.

3. Delivery into the forward line was an absolute disgace.

4. McKinley - Rubbish. Does not look like he is trying.

5. Naitanui - Young player with a lot of expectations but just looked like he did not want it and did not see any urgency in his game.

Positive -

1. Hurn. Great game. Kicking and decision making is top rate.

2. Cockie - Looked good. Hard at the footy.

3. Kennedy - Going to be a star.

4. Priddis - Clearance king.

coundn't agree more there. He must of been battling some minor injury, and need him to be fit next week for the St Kilda match.

 

[lewigie]

Rosa had one of his best games for the club tbh.

ran ran and ran some more, and linked up well.

 

[Kernel Sanders]

I am sick to death of hearing this bullshit about an extra pick FFS stand up guys and be counted play with hearts and we may start winning F*********k.

Right

And finishing say 11th on 6 wins is a great achievement. Something we can all stand up and cheer and applaud.

2 x stabs at the 1st round and the season is not a complete waste.

Lets do what Richmond does, Ninthmond every year.

Just **** off and **** off now.

*shakes head*

I mean if you fire enough darts you will hit some targets but seriously you missed the entire board quite often.

Priddis had 3 clearances. Less than Fletcher and Stenglein.

To single out Mitch Brown, who had 76% disposal efficiency (10th best for us today) is silly.

C'mon mate you bloody serious , you want to keep tanking for how long excactly.........
We have had 2 good years at the drafting table to top up this club with some good players to continue up the ladder towards finals BUT you want more soft picks right , well I understand the thinking of Woosha then if that is the case F**k me......

I was going to say, Brown provided some good run out of the backline, took the game on and generally used the ball well.

 

[jaxxon]

Gee, Masten had 10 contested possessions out of 22, that's impressive. Four tackles and two clearances too, seems he is starting to work himself into the contests.

I cannot believe that I am finding myself agreeing with you.

Mitch Brown in my view was played incorrectly today. I know we lost Jones but we should have tried to play him in the forward line a lot more and send another unproductive player (say McKinnley) into the back line.

 

[tesseract]

Just **** off and **** off now.

I've got a mate who loves and reels off the 12th man lines, this reminds me of when he does so. Classic stuff 12th man.

Our season is shot already, what's there to gain by grabbing another 2-3 wins? Not a lot IMO.
Top draft picks will help our club become an even more successful unit in 2-3 years time. None of us want tanking for picks forever. Good picks and playing the kids is all that's left for us this season. Instant gratification with meaningless wins now is senseless.

BTW, what's a soft pick?

A soft pick is excactly what you are calling for the club to do and that is tank mate , what a load of garbage.
So what your saying is to keep loosing and that will advantage the young group we have now is that right................................(F**k me what a way to go). , winning will do a hell of good for this young squad the more they win the better they will be , so according to you we can turn it on and turn it off , christ.
