Game Day West Coast Eagles vs Port Adelaide: Round 6 2023

[timeforanother22]

Just too many guys not AFL standard out there.

I guess that’s what happens when you have 25 players to choose from? ‍

Why does he need to go midfield at all.
He seems much better just being a forward. He probably could stay his entire career there if that is what suits him better.

We need mids but Culley isn't that answer I don't think. I think Gibney combination with Harley Reid will be our future in the centre

Exactly, looks good fwd.

Just too many guys not AFL standard out there.

And thats just the umpires.

We have 10-12 players that could play together in the Beagles and be heros scraping in for a contested win. Our drafting pre last year has been nothing short of pathetic.
The umpiring with the new tackling and never paying HTB for no effort has reshaped the game into some weird misfit. Not basketball and not touch footy.

GOTY FROM PETCH

EAT IT HATERS

Earned that today.

Shud still be delisted

 

[peeky]

Another game where one sub-par quarter has really hurt us

Lost the second by 31 points and the others by 5,1 and 3 respectively

Honourable effort but unfortunately another sizeable loss

We’re getting a good look at our fringe/young players and most of them will get another crack next week to either build on what they’ve shown or show more than they have

 

[Marlin01]

Greg Clark is as bad at football as it’s possible to be with his physique.

 

[RedWeddingGuest]

Exactly, looks good fwd.

We aren’t gonna get Harley Reid. Even with a team like we fielded today, we’re not gonna get the wooden spoon. If we fix our second quarters, we could end up as high as 12th or 13th.

Top game from BBW. Gotta keep Culley and Ginbey on the park.

I thought he’s been okay, seeing as though he’s repeatedly being played out of his best position.

Worth a watch, some good performances and green shoots there. Typical 2nd quarter bedshitting but rest was OK.

We really need to find the answers for the universally s**t second quarters. Every game this year, same story. Can be fitness cause they run out the games.

I might be missing his best work, but all I ever see him do is get run away from and handball to the opposition.

 

[Cuzz09]

prob something like....

Port: 17.18.120
WCE: 7.9.51

pretty close.

There’s players out there that would be solid role players with better talent around them but they’re just being asked to do too much for their skill level

 

[Carbine Chaos]

I can see us limiting the damage to 40 odd.

Not bad.

Pretty simple really and it's been an issue for years now.

Teams absorb our best hit in the first, then come out and end the game in the second knowing they only really need to draw the game after that.

We've got no answer to momentum swings and haven't since 2018.

 

[timeforanother22]

pretty close.

Not really.

 

[GWeagles]

I might be missing his best work, but all I ever see him do is get run away from and handball to the opposition.

Unfortunately he isn't good enough at this level to have a best position. He is a classic depth squad member

 

[amazingjoshy]

Not really.

x2

Would've almost been closer tipping us

 

[Cuzz09]

1 goal off Ports and 3 off ours.

That's pretty close.

Not unbelievably close but pretty close

It is what it is.

But there are some decent signs, with better quality and experience we'll make our way up the ladder. Although I think we need to be patient because the kids won't be good enough to really make a go week in and week out in probably 2 years time.

 

[Dark Sharks]

The beauty of a game like today, is it shows just how bad the list/depth is.

Understandable, given the Kelly trade, Venables, Brander, Ainsworth, Cameron disappearing, plus the lack of picks before that.

Things we often wondered and supposed when we were up and running, without really knowing for sure.

By now, over the past couple seasons you can summise XON, West, Clark, Witherden, Foley, Trew and Rotham aren't really AFL standard and not worth persevering with.

Petrucelle hasn't grasped his chances enough to save his career. SPS probably has. Edwards probably has.

Cut a bunch of that poor depth ^ plus a few more retirements, bring in some more top end draft picks and turn the list over and this will start looking fresh and we'll see some more excitement in 2024.

English as a RFA would certainly help. I'd only advocate that if Naitanui quietly retired though. No point if he's still around.

Agree with most of this but I actually haven’t minded Witherden this year. Plus, NN’s retirement is never going to be quiet
