Full Intraclub Match #2 - 16-02-2024


Enjoy.


Or Cry.


Whatevas driving those emotions.

Cooper Simpson is a ****ing animal. Bullied Serong to win the ball back in the contest

 

[Van_Dyke]

Simpson been pinch hitting in the mids a bit, think it was him with a nice inside gather to win the clearance

He showed similar strength to beat off Serong just then he’s a player for sure

 

[Van_Dyke]

For those playing at home, no hat for Davies

 

[DragoDelph]

 

[Van_Dyke]

Walker doing laps, half time, top up player for Purple just kicked a goal and they’ve been in control most of this term

 

[DragoDelph]

Really excited about this guy

Q1 Wrap

• Ball movement was excellent I thought and a good balance between fast and controlled. Still couple of fluffs in the handball chain running into F50 where a couple of top-ups though they were playing WAFL still but that’s obviously not a reflection on the squad
• One player that hasn’t been mentioned much this preseason is Pearce but I don’t know, I think we’ll see more of his best this year. Doing a lot down back whichever team he’s on
• Darcy obliterated Dogga in the ruck, Serong dominant as always and Fyfe continues to look strong as * and impossible to stop feeding it out.

They are looking good in the middle for sure. Fyfe the stand out in there with Johnson having good moments too

 

[vidwhal]

Loved Treacy's goal from the boundary line set shot too early on

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Q2

• There was about 5 minutes where skills fell off a bit and they were lazy but I was again happy with the movement and intent. Use the corridor, take risks. Didn’t always come off and they were definitely slower on occasions but it was a good style of footy
• People are going to be asking how the **** Simpson went in the 30s pretty quickly
• Biggest issue on ball movement is not putting the final touch on run and carry chains. I’m confident this is an experience thing, just often bite off one too many
• Davies and Ryan have been very important for purple down back, have stopped a lot of attacks. Good return to form for Hugh
• Brayshaw everywhere, Johnson class when he gets it, would like him to get it a little bit more. Sharp won’t win games by himself but he’ll fill a role nicely.
• Dogga has been a very angry man with some of his tackling

goals have come from a 50m penalty and a free I think tbf

 

[Van_Dyke]

small army of reporters upstairs so should be plenty of media takes after this - 7, code, the west, 10 + Paps all have people here

I knew Caleb was a popular team member but this is just ridiculous.

 

[DragoDelph]

Eh.

Still excited. Think he'll be good 3rd ruck or fwd/ruck, big upgrade on Meek.

i'm all for team bonding but not sure he needs to beat off Serong...

Cool cool cool cool. Keep them distracting any Freo officials, or Belly, for me

 

[DragoDelph]

So was Walker playing first half? Or getting ready for the 2nd Half?

 

[Spirit Level]

Damn should've gone was considering it

 

[Van_Dyke]

Based on the excitement from purple Walker must be joining in, 2nd half about to start

 

[Van_Dyke]

Disregard that he’s back in the rehab area

 

[DragoDelph]

Tabs and dodgy goal line calls.

 

[Van_Dyke]

Feisty enough out there, bit of push and shove between Young and Serong ends up with Sebba giving away a free kick and 50

[Snuffaluphagus]

My phone has not liked the constant refreshes so that will be it for the running commentary for me.

One last point for now is that I do think Sellwood from Peel could be on AFL list as depth

 

[Van_Dyke]

Brodie’s kicking still liable to be somewhat hit or miss, just overcooked a pass to Voss that worked out for Dogga, who after a few handballs put through the snap
