Review The bad, the dumb and the bad v Eagles

[ABAB]

Yeah, mightn't have played that well but we did win.
The negative Nellies on here had us losing this one
One poor sod at least backed WCE.
Trust that the sheets have been washed and are in the dryer.

Or backed a 10+ goals win and loss their bet.

It's funny how people come to a thread with this title preaching positivity after barely beating one of the worst sides in years.

Those with basic football knowledge were positive even after losing to Carlton, Brisbane, Saints and Geelong.

You know this doesn't just continue forever, right?

Not when they play us...

You just love losing. You should get a job at the club.

IMO we played better in those games than we did today.

Good:
Fog - Best game in years, could've had a bag if our midfield pulled their finger out
McAdam - Similar to Fog, really strong first half and continues his breakout season
Soligo - Will give Rachele a run for best first year player, so reliable in just his 6th game
Tex - Still our best player
Parnell - Showed he can play at AFL level, 14/15 disposals were kicks

Bad:
Fwd 50 entries - We lose that game against any other team in the comp
Crouch - I can't understand why we're persevering with him when we've got Hately and Berry
Rob - returned to his pre dropping form, unacceptable for a club leader
McHenry, Rowe, Murphy - We'd be no worse off playing Rachele, Turner and Newchurch for the rest of the year, and likely would improve

Ugly:
Roo saying we can't move Murray off Darling because we don't have another Kpd playing. This bloke sits on our selection commitee as far as I know, West Coast weren't going to run with 1 key Fwd when they are lacking senior players and yet instead of bringing in Frampton, Worrell, Borlase or McAsey we go in undersized. Seriously.

And that Darling is same height as Hinge, smith and Dawson, and Josh Kennedy is 197cm

IMO we played better in those games than we did today.

Totally different condition but I still saw the same ball movement in the 1st half (especially in the 1st quarter) similar to those other games which we also did in patches except we kicked the goals in the 1st quarter. We started to miss the easy set shots in the 2nd quarter like we did in those other games and then we totally switched off in the 2nd half like we did against Collingwood for the entire game.

 

[maxlilly]

The conditions suited the smalls guys today
But McHenry and Murphy had poor games again.
I don't think they are ever going to be going to be good footballers
Can we stop giving these guys games

 

[Smoooothy]

Good - my fiance wanted to go clothes shopping at 3pm, so I missed most of the 2nd half. Was a better use of my time

 

[Archie87]

CBAs

O'Brien - 20
Crouch - 19
Laird - 18
Keays - 18
Berry - 13
Thilthorpe - 3
Hately - 1

(Crouch and Hately both had 1 center clearance)

So we used a game vs the bottom side to pump up Crouch's midfield minutes at the expense of Hately and Berry... Our club is coached by morons....

 

[Pugsley]

ABAB, you are an AFC employee aren't you?

He isn't an astute observer if he was.

 

[Cap]

Soligo looks an absolute natural.

We now have Hatley, Berry, Soligo and Schoenberg* all looking like bonafide mids.

How long before the club plays them there? Do we have to wait for 50 games?

*assuming he gets his shit together.

 

[morris086]

Some stats:
Soligo once again the marathon man covering 15.4km (match high) and 22 sprints (match high). Berry only had the 17 pressure acts, down on his recent league leading best (Tim Kelly

He isn't an astute observer if he was.

You need to gain more basic football knowledge.

Only 22,000 in the crowd?

WTF

McAdam has been huge since he came in

Yeah looked tiny …. A few people dropping off

Going to be a long rebuild for the club in many ways

 

[Scorpus]

We'll chase wins even harder now

 

[crowker]

What a waste of time this site has become, predominatly dominated by the most negative , misersable bunch of campaigners I have ever come across. Ukraine anybody .. get a grip

The chardonnay and apricot slice would havr been frozen.

 

[morris086]

McAdam has been huge since he came in

He looked really switched on in the twos when he came back from injury, I'm glad hes carried that onto AFL level. Adds a level of dynamics that we don't really have otherwise.

Nobody is forcing you to post.

Needed the Eagles to score 3 more points to finish an $85 multi. Couldn't even get that across the line. What a day.

Got my multi - one of the six legs was total game score less than 145.5 and it was 145. Happy days.

 

[Geoffa32]

Only 22,000 in the crowd?

WTF

We are losing
Bad time
Bad weather
And $10.90 for a 375ml James Squire Porter inba plastic cup.

Can understand why people didn't come.
