Game Day Round 1, 2023: West Coast Eagles vs North Melbourne - “A Walk in the Park”

[archiemoses]

Going to need the oppo team to not rock up to get a win.

 

[Biggie]

Ginbey 26 possies and 12 tackles on debut

We've got an absolute ripper

Eh?

15 & 12 wasn’t it?

 

[random260]

Bailey Williams

Cant mark
Cant kick
Cant Ruck

Just GET THE * OUT

Apparently WCE supporter thought he would do well as FF when Darling was potentially injured

 

[Shueygod]

pretty classic Williams, good game marred by two brain dead things at the end.

 

[Westend]

Bailey Williams

Cant mark
Cant kick
Cant Ruck

Just GET THE * OUT

so cut Bailey some slack

 

[wraglesweb]

We were terrible until 10mins to go in the 3rd but some decent signs re ball movement and more risky corridor kicks. Liked JJ, Gov, Ryan that took it on by looking inside more. Hunt, Long, Ginbey all looked decent. Chesser needs WAFL time. XON just nah, that’s Culley’s spot. Kelly always half asleep. Shuey at least brought it with the effort. Hopefully Harry Barnett comes on quick if NN stays perennially injured

strong chance next week against GWS....but then it gets pretty bad

It wasn't a good game at all, he was rucking against midfielders and lost out in two of three quarters to them....

 

[Cornelius Roy]

How does Greenwood dominate our ruck department?

Effort, something Bailey applies when he chooses to.

 

[DickDunn]

Williams had some good moments but was garbage in the first half. He’s still our best option and clearly ahead of Jamieson

15 & 12 wasn’t it?

Ha yeah woops

Too many beers when we were 35 down sorry folks

 

[Biggie]

so cut Bailey some slack

He cost is twice late in game

Regardless of who’s avail, he’s a liability.

Not that Jamo is much better

 

[Dylan82]

Ginbey 26 possies and 12 tackles on debut

What? He had 15 disposals...

12 tackles is correct though.

My mistake

Jamo is clearly far worse.

yeah but what are you going do ??

he was okay up till then

do you want Cole in the ruck ??

 

[eaglesfan84]

There's no cohesion, there's a lack of intensity, both of these things rest with the coach considering he's had three months to put it together.

 

[eaglesfan84]

do you want Cole in the ruck ??

He wasn't "ok"he only won a ten minute period in the third quarter when he was rucking almost the entire game against a midfielder...

 

[new breed]

Bailey physically is fine , little clumsy in his ruckwork let's him down . Lot to learn but effort was there .

 

[WestCoast05]

Umps were definitely paid in that game. Makes me want to unfollow AFL all together this game and call it a day with the sport. We didn't deserve to win anyhow given the performance in the first half was so poor but man some of those umpire calls leave you with some questions about back of house deals being done. I know they need North to rise but you can't be doing that AFL. You will lose a lot of fan base all round.

No wonder it's losing traction on being the biggest sport in Australia. Gil should be worried because his killed this sport. Just go back to VFL if you want it so bad. Rather Eagles start it's own league at WAFL level and be separate from being part of the AFL all together if we must put up with obvious cheating like today

Now this is a quality melt.
More of these..

 

[eaglesfan84]

North Melbourne are shocking and we made them look good, that's how bad we are

Laughing out loud

 

[Mudguts12]

Sheed and Shuey our 2 best mids, followed by Ginbey. Loved Ginbeys grunt work.
Noah Long such a clean one touch player, he's going to be great.

 

[new breed]

Kelly was good in the last half , hopefully its a good year for Kelly as WC need him .
last quarter gave his all .
