Ok we are 10 mins or so away from the start. Very sunny, quite warm apparently.

Geez I hope we play well

You're not alone, Brother Macca. But I am weak in the faith. We need a strong performance from Darth Monolith.
 
Looks like Lade, Tredrea, Ebert and Thurstans up forward. Shattock, Eckermann, White and Pickett on the bench. Gardiner up forward, would say Wakelin on him. Kane on Judd. Hunter on Tredrea. Wanganeen in the middle.

Nicoski kicks out on the full after Judd immediately does one of his trademark takeaways from the middle.

Chick nearly takes an awkward one hander, hands off to Lynch who quickly snaps toward goals which is marked by Gardiner just outside the goalsquare. Tight angle. Goals. *groans*

Lade in the ruck now.

Stenglien hands off to the running Cousins who has a shot from just outside 50....point.

A sea of West Coast players on their own on the outer wing, Cousins kicks long into the 50 and finds Lynch about 25 out on a tight angle. Guides it thru.

Really struggling in the midfield, cant win the footy and West Coast have had players everywhere early on.
 
Yet another slow, poor start from Port. They don't look interested at the moment, getting absolutely killed in the midfield. It seems like no James, no Port :(
 
Cassisi on Judd. Kingsley a nice kick to Tredrea on the lead, passes quickly to Kane who kicks out on the full.

6 touches to Cousins early.

We look terrible at the moment. Dunno where we are heading, Eagles very smooth in their movement up forward. Francou gives away a free. Judd on 50.

Cassisi holding the ball 50 out dead in front. Nicoski to have a shot. Terrible but straight kick...just misses.

Theyve got open players all over the park. Sampi good running mark, kicks to Gardiner 50 out on the boundary. Out on the full.

One of the most dominant starts to a game youll see at the moment. We cant get the ball forward of centre at all, Eagles free midfielders all over the place.

Tredrea nearly marks, Kane passes to Ebert who shoots from 45...misses.

Not sure who is on Cousins Borscht but hes been everywhere.

Burgoyne long into the 50 to Tredrea....Tredrea gives away a holding free.

Ball now in West Coasts forward line. Throw in about 25 out. Cousins handballs off to Sampi about 40 out...just misses

P burgoyne's looking a little rusty - he's had 3 chances for disposals inside Port's 50 for 3 poor finishes - needs to lift and lift quickly.
 
P Burgoyne good work, Pickett from 50......just misses.

Kingsley, Burgoyne good early. Thats about all. Cousins, Cox and Nicoski good early for Eagles.

LeCras, the first gamer marks in front of Monty...will shoot from 50. Doesnt make the distance...bit of confusion but Lade finally rushes thru.

Whites on. Cassisi done well on Judd early.

Great tackle from Burgoyne after a poor effort on Walsh, holding the ball...goes forward to Ebert who marks 55 out. Goes sideways to Lade. Looks to have a shot. LASER!!!!! Great goal from 58 out.

Embley quick move with the ball kicks forward to the leading Gardiner. He gives back to Embley and kicks a goal. Too easy.

Seems to be kick it to Tredrea at all times again up forward and the defenders are eating it up.

Eckermann outcoaled....huge hip and shoulder off the ball by Stenglien. Would wanna fire us up. Looks like a stretcher job. Eckermann nealry took posession, Stenglien lined him up and elbowed him in the face. Reasonably fair but it was bloody high and the elbow was up at contact. Careys trying to say he got him with a shoulder but on a different view was clearly an elbow.
 
Poor Eckermann - that looked terrible. Stenglein's use of the shoulder/elbow was crude. Carey's trying to justify the hit as legit - nice try.

Let's hope this fires up port.
 
Wanganeen a free kick, goes to Monty, kicks to White on a wing...ends up with Tredrea...long kick inside 50 to K Cornes running back. Nice mark. Gotta goal here. 25 out. And he does!!!

P 2.2

Yeah good work Carey..."hes a mate so ill say he didnt do a thing wrong". Crude hit, very high, used the elbow. Bet if Pickett did that Carey would be calling it stupid and unneccesarry.

1/4 time

P 2.2
WC 4.4

Goals - Lade, K Cornes
Best - Kingsley, P Burgoyne, Wanganeen, Cassisi

Average first quarter. Started off terribly, Eagles players everywhere...by mid quarter we had shown up, bottled the game up and started winning our share of the footy. Good goal at the end there by Kane gives us some hope. Hopefully they fire up a bit after seeing Eckermann get knocked out.

Overwhile Eagles well on top in getting the ball effectively forward and winning the ball out of the middle.

Carey = tool Try elbow champ not shoulder.


I reckon it has fired Port up, glad White is on, he can take marks in the midfield and leave Tredders in the 50m ark, very unlucky not of have had a couple of frees, sheeesh what about those two holding the balls :mad:

Pickett should of started on the ground, not the two ruckmen, needed that added aggression.

Please no Primus in the forward line, when he is not in ruck he needs to be on the bench.

Go Power!!!!!
