Review R11: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly vs. Waalitj Marawar (West Coast Eagles)

There was some good:
Peatling continues to improve, our best pure mid at the moment
Berry - got a fair bit of it, has a knack of finding space out the back of a stoppage
Laird - went hard, some great marks and defending
Rachele’s class
Curtin continuing to build, he’s a great mark
%

Bad
Soligo well down again
Fog well down
Taylor did very little
West coast big forwards had too much space too often
Our ball movement from kick ins and slow play

Ugly
Our kicking. Comically bad, including from many of our better kicks
Decision making - too many too short wrong options taken, and taken badly.
Waterman’s shoulder

We aren't contenders.
You had us contenders this year??? Final contenders yes but not premiership contenders. The core group is there but they will need a few more years of Finals experience and a few gap in the list to address before we become premiership contenders. I can't see Nicks, Laird, Walker, Milera (will be interesting watch given his 3 years contract extension) and RoB as part of a premiership team.

Contending means possible premiers. There is no such thing as "finals contenders".
 
Not much to learn against a poor team.

Questions are can Berry be a starter for us? Has talent and I bit of speed but disposal let him down on occasions.
Likes Curtins game and thought his marking was great and skills are very good even though he stuffed one up today.
Really didn’t like Draper being sub as I thought it was a game we could have put him in the middle to let him get experience and game time.

The next 3 weeks will tell us if we are a chance to win a final or are making up numbers

Worst 10 goal win ever.
No energy or enthusiasm.

Skills horrendous for a not that windy day.

Move on to next week
Strange comment, the commentators said it was very swirly and Keays backed that up.
 
Good (VERY good :D:thumbsu:): Looks like someone has given RoB some kicking lessons.

He laced out 3 or 4 low bullet passes --- Teammate Seeking Missiles!! :hearteyes:

I've wanted RoB to be dropped several times this Season, but he was top shelf today.
I hope he can replicate that the next 3 weeks!

He’s actually in a bit of a purple patch of form after being very ordinary early.

For me this is like 2015.

Get some Finals experience into the guys, and coach.

Two/three more years till we contend.



With no Camp funking up momentum when we hit that point....
 
That wasn't too bad. First quarter and a half WC played reasonably well and we were scrappy and turned the ball over a lot. Good third term which ended the game and ensured a percentage boost. No injuries, in the top 4, sets things up for a big game next week. Beat Sydney and we are playing finals.

Curtin continues to build, have really liked his last two weeks.
ROB in good form, three good performances in a row.
Defence stood up well.
Dawson and Rachele were great. Berry, Peatling also good.

Not a memorable performance but did what was needed.
