Review Good/Bad vs West Coast rd 9 2021

[Scorpus]

Competitive but ultimately lost at selection with our defensive makeup

Go in with one 190cm+ KPD and West Coast kick 12 goals from 190cm+ forwards

Great signs from Jones, Thilthorpe, McAdam and a few others

Nah, Darling never got off the leash at least

 

[FullyBigKPro]

One more good KPD and 2 more A grade mids and we pretty much beat them there.

Not massively far away.

 

[Footypie32]

That was as good as any of us could have hoped.

Thought our youngsters showed some promising signs.

 

[Danger in Texas]

Good: Our effort

Bad: Our lack of a 2nd tall defender

Ugly: Darling kicking 5 on us in the 2nd

Super ugly: Me possibly provoking Darling by saying he was shit to start the game

 

[Scorpus]

Extremely impressed with Jones transition to defense. Has a nice burst, great composure and can find the football.

Hope is not lost at all. Probably his second best game for us

 

[Redleg Crow]

A good quarter and a half.

A very good quarter and half by Fog
Jones, Berry, Macadam, TT, Rowe, Harry all showed good things and they're the future.

Keays absolutely busts a gut all day.

Our defence had no hope, especially with the delivery the Eagles got.

 

[ftmch]

An under par result - not too dissapointed tbh.

Great to see Jones back and finding some confidence. Gives us some much needed pace.

Hamill is building really nicely to his pre concussion(s) form.

Fog was great - inconsistent, but he'll get that right in time, and when he does he'll be a weapon. Any who thinks otherwise is a fool.

Scholl has to stop handballing to his teammates under pressure. Lost count of how many times he did that today.

Would love to see Browny spend some time in middle. Could be Laird-esque and give us some much needed pace and class with ball in hand.

 

[Anzacpaul]

Can't complain expect the lack of a 2nd kpd.

We're looking at 2024 before we're a chance, but the signs look good.

 

[1990crow]

Good
Fogarty got to within Vader 's mythical 12-15d good range.

 

[Cap]

For me Shoeys continued improvement is exciting.

 

[Damp Squarie]

Fog was great - inconsistent, but he'll get that right in time, and when he does he'll be a weapon. Any who thinks otherwise is a fool.

Bwahahahahahahahahahahah
1/2 quarter is shiteworthy

 

[mattymac]

Deliberately going in a tall defender short was very arrogant and got exposed as the dumbarsery it was.

Fog's first game in his actual position without Tex in his way. Promising signs for the future.

McAdam was good. Turned things around. Well done.

Seedsman had some mind numbing moments.

Led them for inside 50s for most of the game, just very poor quality.

We desperately need to invest in some smart midfielders.

 

[TRP1996]

Jones looking like a footballer and McAdam showing some semblance of his 2020 self the real highlights. Fog imposing himself on the game early was good, but he obviously fizzled late.

Kids in general didn't disgrace themselves. Berry and Thilly snagged a few.

The bad is the same as its been for a while now. Terrible bombs into the fifty. Ludicrously undersized defence. ROB's form. Frampton's existence.

Sloane was also pretty anonymous.

 

[SellarStardom]

Good
Fogarty first half was fantastic
Good signs from Filthy
Best game from Rowe
Good return from Jones
Stayed in the hunt

The bad
Lack of Worrell, Murray or McAsey was beyond stupid
Frampton disappointing
Forwards entries were terrible, surprised they kick as many goals as they did
Doedee played out of position

 

[Danger in Texas]

Extremely impressed with Jones transition to defense. Has a nice burst, great composure and can find the football.

Hope is not lost at all. Probably his second best game for us

+1

Said it in the gameday thread - keep playing him as a secondary rebounding defender to Smith. Allow him to get some confidence up by raising his disposal count

 

[Scorpus]

Fogarty started on fire, faded in the middle with the rest of the team and forwards, then bobbed up at the end.

Did just enough. Persist again in the same role.

Frampton woeful. He's finished at this level, totally useless

 

[WeeBlake]

Can’t complain too much.

Good
Fogs first q
Thilthorpe
Smith
Macadam
Jones was better
Pressure, for most of the match
Scholl
Schoenberg

Bad
Selection, obviously
Our midfield, still
ROB
Frampton

Unsighted
ROC
Mackay
Worrell

 

[Alwaysacrow]

Good. McAdam playing in front and busting his gut. Great goal after the intercept.

 

[CrowsB4hoes]

Lost to Darling turning into Dunstall for a quarter. That aside we were a chance.

Need McAsey and/or Worrel in tho for some size down back.

 

[Glenno23]

Good:

McAdam returned to form
Rowe very good
Jones.... interesting off HB
Fog was great to start with. How good was that throw down of the WC defender?
Laird was Laird
Keays was Kaeys
Schoenberg did some good
Not embarrassed at all. Was a pretty good outing for all but 10 mins in the 2nd

Bad:

MacKay.... Cmon, it's time for him to not be in the 22
ROB. Still poor
Need more drive from Sholl. When we were at our best earlier in the year, he was the driver\
Seeds was down,but has been good lately

Ugly:

No 2nd KPD? If ever there was a week..... What a blunder. Right up there with the Lynch med sub call

Most exciting:

How good is Thilthorpe gonna be? So clean at his feet for a big guy and can take a mark. Wowsers its gonna be fun to watch!

 

[Damp Squarie]

Good:
We fought across every quarter
Laird -effing brilliant! I wish we had two of him.
McAdam -Ive been a critic but that was much better.
Keays - Tries his guts out

Bad:
Lacked a lot of polish inside 50 -had we taken more chances v entries we may have got close enough to steal it
Doedee needs a rest or is playing injured

Ugly:
Our lack of a monster backman

 

[Scorpus]

Seedsman had a poor game and I attribute that to moving him up the field to accommodate Mackay's worthless 14 touches on the wing.

Changing what was working is stupid

 

[Geoffa32]

Rarely I will say lost at selection, but this game was.

That 15 minute period where WCE exposed our lack of a second KPD and Doedee unable to play loose killed our momentum.


When Doedee had Hartigan and Talia he would play off his man and create a defensive double team against a guy like Darling.

Throwing him into KPD takes that away.


Second half moving Kelly ,(lol) onto Darling allowed Doedee to play his role. Darling's goals dried up.


But the ship had sailed.



First quarter was brilliant. Second until WCE could isolate Darling was pretty good too. Game was on our terms.


Then it went to shit. Clawed back a bit in second half, but WCE cruised a bit.



There is a lot of good, but that non selection of a KPD against WCE was dumb.

Bad:
Bicks on 5aa saying you can't play all youth as excuse for David Mackay getting a game after call questioned what does he actualky offer.
