WA Bests consist of Bazzo, Amiss, Johnson, JVR, Tunstill, South rn I'd say, but very even contribution across the board for them, SA a little easier to group with Roberts, Liddy, Ferres and I reckon Litster has been impressive, JHF not winning much of it but what can ya do

I thought Draper was really good in the first as well, even if he was quieter in the second

 

[Lach72]

Its interesting i said at start of year i rated Bazzo a top ten talent and best key defender in the draft.
He is a terrific kick good pace can play one on one lockdown or inceptor lots of strings to his bow
And on Jye Amiss said he is wa best key forward all year but others like knightmare and so on didnt rate him,
probably because he hasnt been part of WA academy

Amiss:!he’s a good mover, great hands, and a beautiful natural kick

Bazzo reminds me of Corey Enright tbh

 

[RedmanWasHere]

ROYAL EAGLE.

A guy as tall as Bazzo shouldn't have a kick as well as Bazzo.

I'm mightily impressed.

 

[Joose]

Wanganeen-Milera very impressive. Should go top 10

WA V SA Half Time (36-17)

WA have dominated in general, they have the better midfield, better ruck and better talls around the ground

WA Best so far:
Dittmar - physical beast of a midfielder, putting Horne-Francis to shame, great game and is definitely boosting his draft stocks (1 goal)
Johnson - sublime foot skills and has been the catalyst of many quality forward entries for WA
Amiss - the best leading forward on the ground and capped it off with a special goal from the boundary on the run 40m out, reminds me of a couple of years ago when Ky Pickett and Elijah Hollands kicked similar goals (2 goals)
Tunstill - throws himself in the contest and has used the footy particularly well, have heard about him, but this is the first time ive seen him in a full game and he has been a pleasant surprise
Van Rooyen - has a few intercept marks and good spoils, dominating off of half back and looking really good, will boost his draft stocks as well imo
Chipper - last minute call up and has been good off half back and wing for WA, linked well with important gathers and linking with team mates
Bazzo - intercept/spoiling playing pretty well for WA so far

a few others playing well so far, Benning, Regan and Browne (Sheldrick, Warner, South, Woewodin, Motlop and Hough doing ok)

SA Best so far:
Roberts - had a huge 2nd quarter and provided a lot of rebound from defence and through the mid, even kicked a goal for SA
Wanganeen-Milera - skillful winger, has huge impact per poss and always performs in big games it seems
Horne-Francis - has bursts of class here and there, but needs to get in the play more often
Burgoyne - is a good link up player, but isnt very penetrating or hurt the opposition by foot enough
Ferres - providing a target off of half forw and giving SA a focal point to work through

a few other players playing well (Liddy, Draper, Owens, Beecken)

I thought Draper was really good in the first as well, even if he was quieter in the second

Really?
maybe I read it wrong but I thought that while Draper got a few touches outside of contests that looked good while Sa was persisting with him on-ball that wa mids were repeatedly waltzing it out of there with amazing ease.

I thought he was one of the few that was winning the ball for SA.

 

[Van_Dyke]

If we actually draft Sinn over Amiss I'll have to close the Freo board.

forget closing the board, they may need to close down Cockburn

forgot to mention Hagna, he has been quite good as an underager too

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Maybe it's the long blonde hair eDPS but Dittmar reminds me of both, Brian Pillman Sr and Jr.

 

[philthy05]

Jhf with a great tackle and umps don’t reward it

 

[PMBangers]

Yeah, feeling like these Umpires are wanting revenge for the umpiring from the SA v WA u17s game

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Yeah, feeling like these Umpires are wanting revenge for the umpiring from the SA v WA u17s game

Still the worst umpiring I have ever seen by a long way

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Benning

 

[PMBangers]

The big difference at the moment is I can't name a WA player that's having a 'bad' game, the whole team has worked so well together

 

[Bastyy]

Hough doing some great work i50

 

[Psicosis]

WA playing as a team. So much better drilled, taking first option and rewarding team mates.

SA seems like a bunch of blokes playing for themselves.

 

[Bastyy]

Eagles have a great product in Ethan Regan

 

[PMBangers]

Hough doing some great work i50

Similar to Regan in the sense you find it hard to believe they're just 189 cm, playing like genuine KPFs with their marking

 

[ROYAL EAGLE]

SA ruckman is a absolute liability for SA just doesnt compete

 

[PMBangers]

Williams can't buy a goal atm

 

[ROYAL EAGLE]

Eagles have a great product in Ethan Regan

Yea he will end up a mid for WCE

 

[Chris25]

Doesn’t sound like I’m missing much by being at work. I had concerns about the structure and lack of an extra KPD.

Midfield battle sounds disappointing.

 

[philthy05]

The ground ball ability of this Sa side is super poor

you've nailed it
