2nds WAFL 2016

[Keys]

With these lacklustre performances by Lamb in the WAFL you have to wonder if any Vic clubs would even be interested?

He's got the talent don't worry about that

Work ethic is an issue though

How's Shred and Redden clearance and contested game? Genuine influence?

What position/role is Karps playing?

Sheed was very good in the clearances in the second quarter. After he was more outside playing off half forward

Redden was less effective in the clearances but provided good link up and marked well. Liked his game a lot after a slightly slow start

Shaw with 3. Is Mackenzie getting chopped?

Wasn't on shaw but I was disappointed he didn't influence a couple of big packs where south freo players took strong marks in front of goal.

Was better late in the game

Will be better once Souths evict the co-tenants. Feels like a homeswest house co-sharing with that purple mob.

It's just a shit setup. There's a carpark between the ground and the grandstand so there's no decent elevated view of the ground. The outer is concrete so there's no grass to sit on or any bench seats.

Just a crap ground. Always has been

1.8 in the last quarter to Souths, bah!

Cost us the game

A few of those points were rushed and a few shots were from outside well out from goal. Wasn't any real sodas missed. East Perth missed a few easy ones as well

The better side won on the day

1.3 to Dugg. Hope they haven't been sitters

His goal was a snap from about 40 out and was a good kick

One point was a dribble kick from about 30 out that rolled through as a goal. JON should have soccered it through but did the team thing and watched it roll through only for the goal umpire to call touched

Another point came after Duggan smothered a clearing kick from defence that Karpany swooped on brilliantly before handing it off to duggle - south freo player got a fingernail on it

The other point was a snap from 40-45 that missed. Was gettable and probably should have kicked it - was also late in the game so fatigue may have been a factor

Probably set shots.

No set shots - see above

KeyserSoze Were you in the wooden grand stand? I was the big fat campaigner in the gray polo. lol

No grandstand. Was in front of the the scoreboard for the first half then stood on the fence in front of the grandstand for the second

I know Sheed was on limited game time, but does anyone know how limited? 2 and a half quarters, 80 minutes, 3 quarters? How far away is he from playing a full game and eligible for selection, we've definitely been missing him this year.

Was on the ground a fair bit. Possibly more than planned due to the Lucas injury. Was nearly 15min before he came on in the first. Played in the centre for most of the first half after that then was at half forward in the second half mainly

Had a fair bit of time off in the last quarter trying to get back on but an opportunity didn't arise for a good five minutes or so to get on

Am I on my lonesome here???

Or do any others think that McInnes has run his course and is now very much left in "no mans land"... not an AFL backup ruckman...not an emerging WAFL KPP and certainly not dominating at the lower level.

Was happy enough with the selection when we drafted him ... but it hasn't worked out thus far and doesn't look like it will.

He strung some very good football together last year before a serious hamstring so he has got it in him. Hasnt stepped it up this year. At his age and with his size he should be able to dominate some wafl games. Hes more of a hit up player than a contested marking beast though and wafl delivery doesnt help. I think he stays on the list

Allen should over take him next season

Hmm not pleased to hear Redden less effective in clearances.

That's why we recruited him yeah?

He's too tall/immobile to impact as a key tall and not tall enough to ruck. These were my concerns at the time we drafted him. Similar to Ash Hansen in that respect but the game has changed.

Really happy to see Karpany, Duggan and Redden play well. Given Redden would have never met the half the team (?) its a pretty good effort.

I think his efforts are lacklustre because he's already secured a team for next year. Hope I'm wrong.

Pretty devastating if true, but would explain the fact his application isn't matching his sublime talent

 

[wce4premiership]

I want Sheed and Duggan to have another week in the WAFL purely so I can go and watch them next week. Looking forward to heading down and seeing some quality play up close for once.

Go and watch the Demons then m8

Is this real life?

As I don't watch or go to the WAFL, what position does Karpany mainly play?

Rotated between the wing and small forward

In his draft year there were predictions that he was going to climb up the draft order and be taken by gws in the high teens.I was really happy we got him but just seems like a waste of space now

EP is a graveyard for developing potential players like McInnes. Our club should be embarrassed.

 

[ROYAL EAGLE]

As I've said earlier I generally go to games to watch the Eagles players so don't always watch the east Perth players so hadn't really noticed Gorter in past games

Definitely noticed him today though. Was very very good and was easily the best of the defenders. Really liked his game

Also thought Fraser played a very good game - pity for him he's not 6 inches taller as he'd be playing AFL if he was

Fraser is probably ep best player though.
Gorter has been good not just this week but for a while now.
Barney did you watch the colts ? How good was Mitch Dobson again ?
I hope we rookie him.
Dont like Amos playing ruck though reduces his chances of getting drafted
Good to seee Connor De Campo back and using the footy so well.

Agree, problem is his mobility has got worse. Guys like Kennedy and Jack Riewoldt mobility got better as they got older. Would have been better off if he was 194cm not 197cm.

Its a shame because we really do need that next young kpf that's ready to take the next step,if he had come on like everyone hoped we could focus even more on our midfield, as it stands either this draft or next we will have to use a high draft pick on a key forward( barring trading obviously)

Dobson had a fair bit of it but his disposal and decision making was poor. Made an absolute coach killer pass in the last few minutes that cost a goal.
I was disappointed the U18s didn't give Amos a game this year, just took his registration fee and ignored him. EP went very tall yesterday with four fwd/rucks but none of the four went that well.

Why who are they playing next week? [emoji6]

 

[SpaceClef]

He's not really a dominant contested player though. He used to get a lot of CP and tackles but I don't think he affects the contest as much as those stats suggest. He just not strong enough to break through congestion.

I kinda like him as a high or defensive HFF - he's a very good overhead mark and can find the goals. Kinda see him as a bit of a Brad Ebert type.

If we hope he'll be our Priddis replacement then we are gonna be disappoint

Dobson did make a clanger, but did you miss the big pack mark that he took with less than a minute to go, to stop Souths last venture forward, I think that made up for his mistake

Well then I'm disappointed.

That's exactly what I thought he would be.

 

[WCErevival]

It will be interesting next year if they bulk Redden up over the preseason. He may turn into a beast

 

[Biggie]

Or a slow plodder who can't move.
