Game Day Round 1, 2024 : West Coast v Port Adelaide - 1.00pm Sun 17/3 @ Adelaide Oval (A new era begins)

[Bender_]

That second quarter is what we're used to.

Absolute rubbish.

Gaff has to * off
Darling can piss off

Ginbey meh
Brockman meh
Longy unsighted

Brockman was good that first quarter. It's like pointing out Reid didn't do well as a forward in the second too - the ball barely went there in any meaningful way.

 

[kaiserchief13]

Simpson hasn't drawn a line in the sand for years, he won't do it this year either. What a disgrace this club has become

 

[amazingjoshy]

Gaff, Witherden and Darling have 8 touches between them to half time

Yet we have folks in here potting the kids like Ginbey and others like Williams who having a genuine crack

Very strange

 

[Underdog]

That flog Willie the bong goals on the siren. Terrible by Cole! 2 late goals takes the game away again.
God, I hope lightning strikes Rioli, or something like that, ungrateful flog. Public enemy now for Eagle fans.

I know who the real flog is, and it ain't Willie...

Chesser on at HT for Gaff I reckon. Give him a good run at it.

 

[Priddis Is Done]

Gaff 3 disposals. Wow. I'd call that a win for us.

 

[Hangover Noir]

* you Rioli

Ginbey shouldn’t have coughed the ball up in the tackle. Ball up at the 50m, and would’ve been half time.

 

[EagleMan87]

Until Simpson goes. This is our reality.

We need more high draft picks, so that's fine.

 

[Goroyals22]

Jamo is definitely in best 22 with heaps of upside.

Better kick than Gaff, Duggo and Cole combined.

Mind u so is my grandma and she died 15 years ago.

To be fair we don’t know how gaffs kicking is going as he can’t get the ball to stuff it up

Three captains - need to put their hands up.
Tell Allen that his body language sends a very negative message - he is a leader now, regardless of how he feel.
Gaff and Darling - its not a jog.
Fair effort let down by a bad patch of 10-15 minutes.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Meh, let him play and see what happens instead of shunting him off to no-mans land in our forward line.

Agreed 100%, just made me laugh that they would do that (especially when TK has clearly been our best).

 

[UseR2006]

Thanks alot simmo thanks alot. This is why you don't play reid forward. Ball rarely goes there. * sakes chuck him back where he can touch the ball

They put him FWD to try and break the tag that Port had thrown on him.

 

[Rivoroo17]

Duggan with game high 9 clangers, 2 ootf and 42% disposal efficiency. Leads our disposals and that seems to be all that counts to the match committee.

 

[navi_]

TB, Duggan, Gaff, Darling all very poor


Ginbey also a concern, plodder vibes. his TOG is so low and hes one of the fittest in the team?

Allen unsighted too but suspect hes playing injured honestly.

It really is the most Duggan game ive seen. his effort, intensity and 1%'s are fantastic and leads the way in that regard. but lacks the composure and polish he should have with his experience

 

[CursoryMercenary]

Fairly predictable half, at least not completely overwhelmed although there are a few signs of that at times.

 

[kaiserchief13]

We need more high draft picks, so that's fine.

What's the point in Simpson coaching the likes of Ginbey and Reid for a year or 2? Looks at Melbourne with Watts, Scully and Trengove or Carlton with Murphy, Gibbs and Kreuzer. Losing becomes part of what they expect.

 

[Wooshaaaa]

Top 15 possession winners, 12 port players. We have no speed in the midfield.

Out gaff darling edwards

Liam "the ball butcher" Duggan
Cole
Yeo
All nowhere near it today

Duggan and yeo both burning the free man 30 out in the corridor to go for the low percentage shots/passes inside 50

 

[Bort Cummings]

Weird seeing Rioli using Powerade for its intended purpose.

 

[Underdog]

Thanks alot simmo thanks alot. This is why you don't play reid forward. Ball rarely goes there. * sakes chuck him back where he can touch the ball

He probably doesn't have the conditioning to play full time on ball, particularly in heat like this. Hopefully, he should be good to go from here on in
