JLT 2018

[Dylan82]

The main squad did a main training session last night...might explain why they were in first gear all day.

That would give some explanation as to why we were looking cooked before quarter time, let alone the rest of the match.

Makes sense from a conditioning point of view, active recovery tomorrow and Tuesday then allows a solid 12 day tapering coming into Round 1.

Whether the psychological toll of having an inexperienced team getting pantsed by over ten goals to the cross-town rivals is worthwhile however remains to be seen.

Before that game, I didn’t even contemplate sacking Simpson. I defended him and big big supporter. That was up until 4pm this after noon.

If that’s what we dish out in two weeks I do worry for his job. That was terrible and yes it was preseason but gee, we have lots of improving to do.

An inexperienced team?

Apart from Kennedy and NicNat that was our best team wasnt it?

 

[Obeanie1]

Seriously, what's the point of giving Brander 5 mins of game time? Asinine.

Do JLT games count for father son games?

I just finished watching, heckin'g awful. Seniors players were so bad it wasn't funny. I would've had Redden n Shuey in bottom 3, Gaff and Hurn would help round out bottom 5. Felt sorry for young guys!
I'm now very concerned we will finish very low, swans at home, dogs away and cats at home we're looking at 0-3. That can destroy your confidence!!! Suns are playing freo in perth week before they play us, obviously stay the week and the travel factor is gone. If confidence drops and Suns is increasing under a new coach could be 0-4.

Ainsworth looks tough.

He certainly does. Noted on two occassions he ran straight at the ball flat without thinking about who or what was coming or in the way.

In a couple of preseasons with 5 less kgs of puppy fat and 10 kgs more muscle he will be much more effective.

Come off it, Cole was on Ballantyne in the first half and got thrashed.

Was not impressed with Cole. Last quarter tried a chip pass while walking backwards, missed the target, turnover on 50 and goal.

That is a childish mistake. Trying to kick walking backwards.

 

[Eastcoasteagle]

Feel like we'll never see Rioli. Reckon he jarred the strapped knee when Walters ran in and smothered his kick. Thought that was a 50 as ump hadn't called play on and now he's injured.

Edited for fun.

So that he doesn’t get mentally scarred.

 

[Woobla Stainz]

I'm fairly sure Shuey was used very sparingly in the middle, think we just wanted to give him a run and get him through the game without injury

Lined up on the wing alot today.

Whilst this is true, one quarter of the players fielded today are yet to play a single AFL match.

Cole and McInnes have less than 20 between them; and both Barrass and Duggan are still yet to have played 50 each.


Outside of the core, we are a very inexperienced team this season.

 

[TheHumanShoe]

Gotta love some preseason melts after an awful, awful match.

 

[Woobla Stainz]

I mean it's not like we've missed two opportunities to draft him or anything. Not that we need to improve our midfield anyway, what we're really missing is some more third talls and some project flankers.

Happy with Brander at our 1st but then should have gone T.Kelly, and also taken Banfield with our last.

What really? If so that is really unusual.

 

[LathlainEagle]

Breaking News... WCE confirms adopting Plan Z... Roger Federer drafted to play as Def/Mid/Fwd..
& Polly Farmer appointed as Emergency Coach...

Yeh was fine with the Brander pick in isolation and he does look like he's going to be a very good player. Still disappointed with our poor midfield drafting.

Its preseason mate wait for the reason season to start before we call for Simmos head.

 

[ronpingwins]

Gee Venables has some skills

 

[WelshEagle]

That was my first "game" (if you want to call that performance a game), and that was a stinker! I really hope they play much better than this in R1. Failing to take marks and generally allowing Freo to run all over us, especially in that 2nd quarter. It almost made me regret getting out of bed relatively early on a Sunday Morning (the game started at 8am my time) to watch it.

On the plus side, my Watch AFL experience was surprisingly great. It was near HD quality for me, which was much better than I was expecting from a live stream from halfway across the world.

That commentary team though was awful, and as people have already pointed out, why was there a former Freo captain working the boundary, with no WC person there for balance?

I though Ryan's first quarter was befitting of a pick 12.

 

[Wellillbe]

Just watched Simmos presser and the famous words "I'll back em in" has already started Haha!!!!
