Game Day West Coast V Adelaide Friday March 3rd 4.40PM @ MRP

[THE A5]

I started watching from the second quarter. Look he missed sheed twice but i don’t thibk he’s kicking was that trash and those two kicks probably would have got to one of our players if the forward wasn’t Dom Sheed

 

[Dark Sharks]

Give Longy some minutes ffs

 

[Cornelius Roy]

Very well thank you very much. (At least according to this guy )

Is that Justin Trudeau?

 

[Dylan82]

Someone tell me what’s wrong with Ginbeys kicking?

They're so powerful that Sheed keeps running away from them.

 

[THE A5]

Get Nelson on.

Nelson in and TK out is what we need to win this

 

[bUCKET__]

Hunt, Petch been really good imo.

 

[Bacchus]

Same coach. Same s**t gameplan.

Get ball - look to the wings and ignore the corridor.

Turn it over - ignore that the opposition has been able to stack the middle and allow them to walk it through time after time.

If someone runs past you - don't make an effort to prevent them from opening things up further down the ground, that's for the defence to deal with...


Get smashed in the ruck - don't bother to screen off the opposing front of the stoppage, we'll just put Gaff in no-man's-land behind it where he can't impact defensively and is left with a turnover hack-kick option should he gain possession.


It's now 2023 and the approach is still the same as when the wheels starting failing off four years ago.

All Adelaide have done is commit a spare on-ball and run narrow lanes through the middle and the West Coast brains trust had no answer at all to it.


The kids look good, but tactically the club is woeful and light-years behind any kind of innovation that the rest of the competition is developing.


It's going to be another long year.

You sound p**d off.

But with good reason. This looks ugly.

 

[DanWA]

At least he's on his hands and knees in the middle of the ground. Gaff and Sheed meanwhile are walking in space on a HBF while an Adelaide player finds easy space. It might be a preseason game but even half an effort is better than no effort.

Not going to disagree with anything you said

Just sick of Rotham's mistakes

Delist

 

[Eagle Wrath]

We still need to sort out our defence too. Look far too slow with Cole and Duggan down there with Hurn, Barrass and McGov and Hunt is stuck in the back pocket. Get Hunt on the HB, Jones or Petch on the other HB.

And where is Hough?

 

[bzparkes]

Is that Justin Trudeau?

 

[Shueygod]

What’s with the XON hate? He wins the ball, is a clean kick, tackles well.

 

[DanWA]

What’s with the XON hate? He wins the ball, is a clean kick, tackles well.

Maybe that he is pretty much MIA for majority of the game

 

[Marlin01]

I’m really disappointed in/for Waterman. Without Kennedy and Darling, he’ll never get a better opportunity to lock in a position than this and he’s missing 3m handballs.

 

[THE A5]

While I think Jamo is better than Williams, our back up aren’t first ruck material and more of the ruck/fwd or fwd/ruck material. Don’t know much on Barnett but is he kinda similar to these two or does he have the scope to be a number one ruck?

 

[Dark Sharks]

Gee, imagine how lame this 2nd half will be if Ginbey gets benched.

 

[Bender_]

Someone tell me what’s wrong with Ginbeys kicking?

He's dealing with a toe issue. Hopefully Longy get some minutes.

 

[ziad]

good WAFL player filing a spot to we get an AFL quality replacement.
North will be growing in confidence.

 

[Seadog]

Someone tell me what’s wrong with Ginbeys kicking?

He doesn't know how to kick the back of the ball so it end over ends and goes to no-one like Gaff and Yeo can.

 

[BandF]

Gaff statistically the worst ranked player on the ground, just quietly.

5D, 0 contested, 0 tackles, at 60%DE



Good thing is he's injury free and the best shape he's been in for a long time, amirite Simmo??

Shudder anytime he is near the ball, I don't like to rubbish any of our boys but he is no longer up to AFL standard imho

 

[Eaglemaniac]

Ginbey and Gov looking fantastic. Petch and Hunt doing some good stuff. Not much else to be excited about so far. We are going to be in trouble if Allen is our only forward.

 

[Keys]

Hewett, Clark and Witherden to play 2nd half presumably

Shuey will come out as he was only ever going to play a half

Not sure who else sits out

Edwards hasn’t appeared since he walked off to the rooms during the first quarter

 

[RookiePick]

Hmm...we still pretty stinky hey.

 

[Dark Sharks]

 

[bUCKET__]

Imagine how bad Port must be to make us look okay last week tho

 

[Shueygod]

good WAFL player filing a spot to we get an AFL quality replacement.
North will be growing in confidence.

Completely disagree, has the capability to be afl quality.

Maybe that he is pretty much MIA for majority of the game

he’s probably been our second best mid.
