Review Walyalup Remain Undefeated Thanks To 34 Point Win Over The Orange Team

[bushchook]

Maybe in regards ti Kelli, you may find a couple of he male counterparts have never played either.

Yeah, but those guys got their job by being better at it than 1000 other hopefuls.

Kelli Underwood got her job because of her gender.

I don't like her, but her knowledge and understsnding of the game far out weighs many of he male counterparts.

Lol no.

 

[freo84]

Finally watching the game.

I'm halfway through the first qtr but Simpson's kicking so far has been sublime. Very impressive.

 

[Madas]

Misogyny isn’t just about actively hating women. Its definition also includes having a strong prejudice against women. I think that’s more the suggestion here.

Kelli is insufferable. It’s not that deep. Voice is grating. Footy knowledge is poor. Clear diversity hire.

Yeh honestly s_wd6 summed it up pretty well
As a commentator she is pretty bad

I have similar issue with Whately , very annoying voice , try’s to be too clever, goes a little bit over the top sometimes etc

Both of them probably better suited to panel discussion than live commentary

Brereton is almost comical in some of the dumb crap he comes out with , but he genuinely loves Treacy and Vossys agro so I give him a pardon

 

[Purple Maverick]

Her voice is no more irritating than Mark Howard's, a bloke who should also be nowhere near footy commentating, but she makes so many bad errors and calls the wrong player's name more than any commentator I've listened to. I used to give her the benefit of the doubt because she was solid at her radio gig but she's just not good at her job. Playing the gender card is weak. There is lots of love here for people like Daisy Pearce who is genuinely knowledgable.

The issue is not gender… the issue is she lacks the sufficient intelligence to be a commentator. She forgets teams and players names, she uses mixed metaphors and sayings that make no sense, etc. Her brain simply can’t process all that is going on whilst attempting to provide meaningful insights. I wouldn’t be surprised if she has some form of aphasia.

Regardless, if she was male she would cop a lot more criticism. My view, she is a female glen jakovich lol

 

[FreoMonocle]

To be honest I don’t think most peoplereally wants to see JL sacked , some of us just need a scapegoat when things go pear shaped and he’s an easy target
I sincerely hope he proves us all wrong and gives a big FU to the VFL media who kicked him when he was down .

The rebuild started a loooooong time ago. We are out of the rebuild and frankly, out of it already by a year or two. It's not personal, he has to deliver or make way for someone who can.

So, yes, I want him sacked if he is incapable, we should have been in the 8 last year - while we may get into finals this year, we haven't been in the 8 yet. Finals in 2022 looks like an anomoly.

"Sticky Hands Hogan. He's got it." Yucccck

 

[Minz]

Well, I have only watched the mini match, can only imagine how frustrating watching, what was it, 4.10 live would’ve been. Dang.

I greatly enjoyed Hogan’s little stutter step followed by spraying the shot so badly I think the ball may have missed the whole stadium.

I am a believer in simple messages for footballers, clear simple directives.

Did anyone else notice how our back line barely ever went for a mark and instead were spoiling it, uncontested occasionally, at every chance they had?

I remember thinking a couple of times " he could/should have marked that".
Do you think there was a directive on taking on the tackler this game?
Seems that a lot feel that was different on Saturday.
Or was it just we saw a few strongly broken?
Hard to believe boys would be told "this week were gonna go to the ground with the tackle" , only to change it next week?
How big was the 9 day break?
Ballas says to the owner " look, we can't go dragging her all over the country racing every couple days, I'm going to give her 9 days till the next race, freshen her up a bit, see how it goes"

Dermie would probably nod if you offered him a three way with Cyclone and Vossy, yes.
Kick to kick...yeahhh!
Who wouldn't?
Yeahhh.

Thanks for that. I have spoken to Cooper but still didn’t realise just how well spoken he is. Kudos to him and the media training the club gives.

Great Listen.

They key thing I got is JL needs to grow some balls, and tell Ryan that Simpson is now doing all kick ins.

 

[Boppo]

Good to see Simpson Worner Chappy Wagner getting solid blocks of game time with each other in the backline. Hopefully Ras stays in and gets a decent shot too. Dudley playing up the ground is a great link up player.

 

[go_the_dockers]

Everyone (including myself) should not forget how depleted the GWS midfield is.

The midfield has been our big issue all year, and we don't have the team capable of winning if we are getting smashed in the middle.
Port will be a tougher challenge (even minus JHF), and Gold Coast have a very good midfield.
