Game Day Round 5, 2023 : West Coast Eagles v Geelong BODEs

[Barrybran]

Clever kick by Long but didn't see the Geelong player coming back

 

[CoastersFlag No.5]

Longy. nice try to Oscar.

 

[Bender_]

West gave Stanley's face a "how's your father" with his knee.

 

[Bort Cummings]

Didn't come off, but working that kick on the outside of the boot at pace was pretty smooth from Long.

 

[Flarn Rarn]

How the * has XON stayed on west coast's list for as long as he has.

Has shown absolutely nothing ever.

He bulked up for last season and showed a lot more intensity than he ever had. He would've been in a handful of players who really improved imo - unfortunately that improvement has not lasted.

 

[Gizza]

Unselfish from Long but really with the space he had that's one he should take on his own and have a shot.

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

Westy in trouble?

 

[Tugga27]

64 points down at halftime.
I'll take 47 at full-time.

 

[Crimson King]

Well, pretty proud that we fought it out in the end after that disastrous second quarter. Some very good signs in the second half.

 

[Bender_]

LOL Dangerfield gives the umpire 5 straight after the siren. GTFO

 

[Alesana]

And we win the last quarter by 12 points. Hope those who turned off at half time enjoyed their arvo

Geelong’s oldies would have absolutely put the cue in the rack. But good not to get destroyed

He’ll get a few more weeks (possibly). But unless anything more is shown, that’ll be it you think.

 

[Godfather32]

Doesn't look like Yeo played at all after that hit on Dangercampaigner

 

[Avalor]

Horrific 2nd quarter, but the rest of it gets a pass mark.
Good resilience.

 

[GWeagles]

Westy in trouble?

Won't matter. He has no place in the team.

 

[Shuestar13]

And we win the last quarter by 12 points. Hope those who turned off at half time enjoyed their arvo

A most refreshing second half with some of the usual suspects disappearing

 

[Westend]

well good effort in the 2nd half lads won it

didn't give up some good signs

we just lack bulk and size at this stage

 

[ROYAL EAGLE]

Our forward line was good today.
Allen , Waterman, SPS
Cameo's from Long and Petch

 

[Matera92]

You can stop sucking Gills utensil Patty.

 

[Spod]

Allen doing extremely well considering he's just taken up the spot at full forward after missing a full year. What a star.

 

[CoastersFlag No.5]

Won the 2nd half I will take that considering we got smashed in the 2nd quarter.

 

[Shuestar13]

Allen doing extremely well considering he's just taken up the spot at full forward after missing a full year. What a star.

An absolute star. Can build the forward line around him.

 

[Winky]

I don't know how anyone could watch our games this season and not see what Jones has been doing for our ball movement out of the backline and through the middle of the ground. I think he's integral to our future to be honest.

Quite easily actually. I was the one initially suggesting he go back to provide run and he did a good job in that role. Unfortunately he does not defend and his player is either loose or beats him easily. His disposal is also very suspect and turnovers result. He has a red hot go and anyone who does that deserves an opportunity to correct his weaknesses. If he can, terrific. I just doubt it will.

Incredible vision and execution. Who would have thought our pick 53 small forward visionary in Rioli would be replaced by a more disciplined and perhaps equally talented small forward visionary at 54 in Noah Long the second his ungrateful arse was out the door?
He is something really special, I hope we lock him away on a 4 year deal as soon as possible
