2nds WAFL/WAFL Reserves Thread 2015

[lewigie]

They're probably similarly skilled above the head anyway.

 

[ROYAL EAGLE]

Not sure there is much that McInnes currently provides that Sinclair or a resting NicNat couldn't also produce. If Darling comes in I think McInnes is the logical out.

Sinclair maybe not Nic Nat his leading and forward movement is poor compared to McInnes.

But for me if Darling comes in McInnes needs to be dropped.

Hope Darling doesn't play against Essendon and is given another week at wafl.

Essendon are not playing very well against Geelong.

Perfect time to bring him in.

 

[Suma Magic]

We can't go with 4 talls IMO.

It's Kennedy, Darling and one of Sinclair/McInnes/Lycett.

 

[swannies]

His asset is his pace and attack on the ball , at afl level he wont have the repeat effort needed , he needs more games in him better they are at wafl level , will also make him that bit hungrier

Don't mistake Darling's lack of hunger for anything more than it's WAFL, meh, to him. He played like this when 17 and going to get drafted. Plays to the level he is playing at. He wasn't even great today, but still kicked 5. I reckon he was instructed to go easy today and see how he pulled up.
Actually thought it was Colledge and Johnson, in the main, that got EP back into that game today.

Yeah, was there Keyser Soze wasn't stressed today because we played so badly last week expected the loss. [/QUOTE

What did you think of Adamson game today ?

 

[swannies]

Didn't see enough of him tbh ROYAL EAGLE, only saw the last quarter but he was around the contest a lot so I kept checking for his number.

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

Wonder if Darls will the sub next week, could see that happening to ease his way in. If so, may not be the best idea to drop Fmac, since it'll leave JK on his own for 3 quarters or so. Of course, we'll still have a resting ruckman there, so it won't be too bad...

 

[kane249]

Not sure on the merits of a tall as the sub. If a smaller player goes down and needs to be subbed we would be exposed as too tall.

Give Jack the next 2 weeks in the WAFL (we have the bye after Essendon) and have him cherry ripe for Richmond.

 

[Eastern Rangers]

What did you think of Adamson game today ?

Too many snaps from congestion with his back to goal. I don't know if it's just a lack of support or also a lack of awareness, at times he looks really decisive as a stoppage player but just doesn't hold onto the ball long enough to make the right decision.

He reminds me a little of Strijk when he went through the middle before he was culled by his heart problem. Not as explosive or good by foot but has some similarities to how he runs the lines from congestion.

He's gone from back flank to midfield and i like his progress.

We have the bye after Richmond. Agree with you we should bring him in for that game though.

Bye is after Richmond not before

The AFL in their wisdom has us playing Richmond after their bye in Melbourne against an Eagles side coming off a 6 day break

2 consecutive six day breaks.

I have a hunch that the bye will be bad for Richmond though.

Heard Karpany dominated again, what was his final stats?

 

[happy_eagle]

Kicked the ball 3 times
Don't worry people will soon start calling for he and Newman to make the best 22

 

[Vin28]

Had 11 disposals 4 tackles and 2 goals last week and nothing bad was said. This week has a stinker with only 8 touches and 2 tackles. He also didn't have a great first year.
Not everyone can come out and dominate like Nelson and Duggan early on. Players do develop at different rates. Young players can be inconsistent.

 

[Small Moves]

What is Lycett's problem? I didn't see the game but judging by the stats he didn't go all that well?

 

[Johnno22]

We now have 24 players that I would like to see in the starting 21.

I will have to sleep on a solution of how to achieve that.

I'd say he's been fairly consistent over his first 2 seasons thus far, 6 league games in each.

AVG 10.1d, 2.1M, 2.1tackles, 0.5 goals a game in 2015.

AVG 10.5d, 1.5M, 2.3tackles 0.3 goals a game in 2014.

I'm all about stats. Stats stats stats. They tell a story. They don't lie.

 

[WCErevival]

What is Lycett's problem? I didn't see the game but judging by the stats he didn't go all that well?

He didnt have heaps of possessions but actually played ok apart from a couple of poor kicks. Played more forward than ruck. Took a few contested marks and kicked a couple of goals.

 

[The Falcon Strike]

Darling, Ellis and Newman have looked afl class.

Wouldn't bring them in next week against Essendon would wait until the Richmond away game.

Very often at AFL level players play great first up from injury break, then hit the wall and play very shit the
next week.
Happen's so often these days.

Given East Perth play next sunday and the game is a Friday night against Richmond - I wouldn't imagine any player missing Essendon, playing for EP and then coming up for Richmond. I'd expect the likes of Ellis, Barrass et al to miss next weeks EP game in case they are required.

So Jack either plays 3 or 4 games with EP or he comes in next week

 

[Prem87]

Darling, Rosa, Ellis and down the track Newman to come into the 22.

How do we fit all that quality in?

Butler, Nelson, Duggan, McInnes the weakest links?

Has he suddenly hit some rich vein of form i don't know about?

Not quite yet , its frustrating watching east perth, the poor kicking and handballibg , turnovers , the skill level of Newman , Darling and Ellis would look even better if the quality players were around them . Maybe the quality of the tv coverage , the atmosphere compared to Afl lessens things too.

 

[boondy]

Karpany will be delisted
