probably had his best game ever for the club. Both Yeo and TK were tremendous as well, while Petrucelle took another stride in his development today.

West also had a great debut.

Congrats to Nic on a successful 200th (we finally won a milestone game).

 

[StateOE]

Saves up enough credits for a win

 

[HAPPY BUDDHA]

Was looking sketchy there for awhile.

 

[navi_]

Was good to see Cripps hit some form

He came home with a wet sail in 2018 from memory. Hopefully this game kickstarts something similar.

 

[Crimson King]

Harry Edwards should be a mainstay in our team from here on. Our best lockdown defender atm with added bonus of good skills.

Good debut from West. Loves to tackle and get his hand dirty in the contest. What's not to like about him. Just what we needed.

The yoof reinvigorates us.

 

[Karim Abdul Yeo]

fast mark and go I liked. Also, the mark and attack corridor was also very good. Connor west with some debuet. NN had one of his best games of the season. Overall really good. hopefully can go on a winning streak from here on to finish 6th or even 5th.

Negatives- the first quarter was terrible. The weather was also great which is still an issue but what was displayed after the first quarter will improve our wet game as well. Looking forward to St Kilda game.

 

[Balls In]

I'm pretty sure we are fixed.

 

[Moose1414]

The youf, its all about the youf. Season on the line against the credits in the bank

 

[Barrybran]

Four points in the bank
Milestone win for Nic in the bank
Five for Crippa in the bank
West with the highest contested possessions on the ground on debut in the bank
Doing something more than possession football in the bank

 

[DanWCE]

The Connor West Is Ours

On a serious note, are Oscar Allen

carrying something? Oscar has looked out of of sorts for a while and Liam doesn't seem to have got back to his usual standard since returning to the side.

 

[kaiserchief13]

Positives -
win
Cripps finishing
West 13 CP, most out of Eagles players with 19 possessions total
Petrucelle overall game
Yeo looked pretty good
Hurn very good

Negatives -
McGovern still is useless at defending
Ryan poor finishing
Williams looked very bad
Allen looked ordinary at best
Gaff is just a stat whore

Even going 5/5 out of last 5 weeks wont be enough for top 4 so season is over in terms of winning flag. Best can hope for is a home final but that's unlikely given Sydney's draw rest of season. Next best would be an away final at Adelaide Oval vs Port

 

[KERRPOW]

Did what we had to do and got the 4 points and hopefully some confidence back.

Played some crap footy, played some good footy.

Possible shuey calf?

 

[HoneyBadger35]

• Cripps had 25 or more touches once in his career coming into this year. Has 25 twice against the Crows this year, and a career best five today. Huge.
• 98 points total after a goalless first term isn't too bad at all.
• West and Edwards getting a proper run on the ball from Q1 all the way through to Q4.
• Won by the biggest margin of the game
• Ryan's second half was massive. 13 touches and 3.3 in a half is game winning stuff from the forward pocket. Needed a rocket so I'm happy that he stepped up.
• Hurn massive. As pointed out by Keys - seemed like Gov was more accountable which freed up Hurn to be the spare. Interesting wrinkle in the playbook. Also resulted in him getting the ball much further up the field, taking running bounces (!) and delivering inside 50.
• Nic Nat, centre clearance dominance as usual.
• TK good.
• Liked Petch's game, liked Cole's game.
• Gaff running to much more dangerous areas a lot. Still had some customarily bad decisions, running onto his right boot on the boundary, wtf? But in the second half he was much cleaner with his running and played his role perfectly. Delivered inside 50 well, offered us a handball option off the mark. Bodylined a footy to set up Ryan's goal in the fourth. Really good Gaff game.

No real negatives to be honest, Shuey's injury aside. Sheed was very quiet early but played a good role in the second half. First half was stale as anything but there was a definite desire to be more aggressive, to switch the ball from wing to wing rather than going the full long way around the back 50, and a keener desire to kick through the corridor after turnovers. Happy with it.

 

[Dark Sharks]

West with the most contested possessions for his club, 2nd most on the ground in his first game says all you need to know about our mids.

 

[dkalphy]

Shuey needs to be stop getting out of first gear, seriously he's trying to play explosively but he's body wont allow it. Needs to play just as an inside mid.

 

[DanWCE]

20 touches and four shots on goal by Petch - seems to have built that tank.

Connor West going at almost 70% contested disposals and second most pressure acts for the game.

game high 6 tackles after 0 last week.

 

[squashface]

Best already our West player

 

[RookiePick]

Negative - Nelson not sighted until deep in the last.. Really needs to lift

 

[KERRPOW]

West with the most contested possessions for his club, 2nd most on the ground in his first game says all you need to know about our mids.

Next year swap west for sheed or gaff and its a more balanced midfield outfit.

 

[Bender_]

Petch just keeps coming along nicely. Probably his most complete game so far.

 

[Dark Sharks]

Cripps just deposited enough credits in Simmo bank to last until at least 2026.

 

[RookiePick]

Gaff just seems super low on confidence.

He did some much better things but killed us with a lack of daring to often.

 

[Bushhopper]

Connor West, Harry Edwards, Luke Edwards were fantastic

Cripps had a brilliant game

Nice run and carry through the corridor

Tackling improved

 

[Balls In]

West coming in and leading our midfield is pretty good.
