Game Day Round 3, 2025: West Coast vs Fremantle - The Owen Derby

[Shifty1]

We aren't bottoming out. We are falling in a bottomless pit.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Still nobody anywhere near Serong.

Serious questions have to be asked of the coach.

Graham moving like the Titanic.

 

[Shuestar13]

Hunt and TK in the gun. Graham could be in trouble with the MRO.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

I get it, Gov and Edwards are off, but there is simply no way you put Reid as a one on one defender with Amiss.

Even if you’re trying something new to get him off the half back, the answer to whatever question you’re asking isn’t Reid KPD.

 

[DRK_13]

Really missing Clay Hall today. Big body extractor wouldve been useful today

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Nice goal.

I'd still drop him. And Cripps.

Worst case scenario is those senior types getting late touches to keep their spots.

 

[Eaglemaniac]

Hewetts goal

 

[Westend]

good goal hunt ...awesome kick

 

[Astro7]

Ginbey and Maric been good...Ginbey almost our best pick up!

 

[THE A5]

How we look when we use our brains and look clean with ball in hand

 

[garlic munchers]

Yep and that’s the killer

Should be going after Banfield as a mature body to protect the kids, he has the skills to fit right in.

 

[Here2tellyouwhy]

Hunts a runner not a distributor

 

[Altum Volantes]

Harsh on Hunt guys - a freebie who always gives an effort.

Way bigger problems than him out there.

 

[InTheWings]

Nice goal!!

 

[Crimson King]

There were plenty of guys running around in that era that were the height of ‘not it’

Liam Baker is being made to play as #1 midfielder, the poor little gnome.

During that period, Woosh dropped the average senior players to the WAFL in favour of giving young players games whenever possible which resulted in 'tanking' claims pointed at us at one point.

He mentioned specifically during his press conferences during that period, that you get the youth to 50-60 games as quickly as possible to climb back up the ladder quickly.

We have avoided doing this, thus far.

 

[BEagle22]

Great goal

 

[Barrybran]

Well done boys. Nice pickup by Hewett and great handball by Cripps.

This. Send Archer and Oscar back with JWill at CHF and Ryan at FF

Getting sick of mini really

 

[Barrybran]

Can't drag it in, Jack

Mini has had three games.
He will work it out

 

[BEagle22]

Man, I am just tired of being bad

He's definitely not a solution

 

[Mudguts12]

Dry Anus straight through the middle again and again.

 

[Icanwalk]

Hunt was actually a net positive in his Melbourne days and was only an injury away from being a premiership player with them. Ridiculous how far he's regressed with us.

Disagree. Was always on the fringes. Skills were very poor plus rash decision making. There was a period where he was taking intercept marks to compliment his "headless chook" rebound, but have not seen this at the Eagles where he has played further up the ground.
