Game Day Preseason Scrimmage -West Coast v Fremantle, Sat 24/2 : Let the melts begin

[Ghossein]

Well that was definitely a game of footy.

truly one of the quarters of all time

 

[Wise Guy Sam]

How is Williams going as #1 ruck again so far. With Flynn out for a while at least Baz can do the job pretty well.

 

[ziad]

I am prepared to give them a few games to adapt to a faster style. Players looks lost defensively.

 

[Ghossein]

Times like these I'd kill for the Eagles web of 2006.

Right now our defensive structure I don't know what you'd call it. Best I got was a deer in headlights.

the web of 2006?

woosh played one on one

 

[UseR2006]

Our best bit of play was when Reid just said stuff it and ran with the ball.

 

[WCErevival]

Just a bit of ring rust

 

[Hillsy13]

Interesting that we’re giving coen the early ruck minutes over Barnett

(Sorry, can’t watch this game) is Chesser playing? What position so far? Does he look more confident?

 

[FKASC]

Ginbey always looks like he is in the wrong place. Should be getting much more ball than what he is

Yeah no one that ripped should be so incompetent at footballing

 

[KERRPOW]

Umpiring has been shit...not just the players needing some practice.

 

[Boohemian]

Wtf. Walters just dived onto Jameson's back. No free? Huh?

 

[Cornelius Roy]

So what have you seen that’s been any different from the past two years so far??

This was my first reaction as well.

I just need to see something to give me hope for this season.

Yet to see it.

Good pressure from young Loch

 

[Westend]

good work by yeo at the start of this qrt

for us to be competitive this year he has to play all games out of the middle

We had the ultimate web where opposition sides couldn't move the ball out of our forward half. Everytime they bombed it out we just suffocated them.

Without Flynn the stoppage is as leaky as it was last year.

Fremantle having far to many options when they get their hands on the ball as a result.


The most important player for the team this season is Flynn.


Defensive structure seems to be forward-half pressing, but when clearances are being lost so decisively, a plan like that falls apart.

Half backs getting very high up the ground, but have been caught out behind a number of times already.


Offensively, it appears territory-based - lock down stoppage and get numbers to press forward.

Unfortunately, the club is getting thrashed at stoppage so we aren't getting to see any of its benefits.


Going to be a long season if the issues around stoppage are not addressed.

 

[Boohemian]

Good pressure this last bit

 

[garlic munchers]

Cole has 7 quarters to prove he should play rd 1. So far he's been worst on

Been walking around muttering, pulling faces and gesturing.

Maybe he’s come to the realisation that he should be on the Kwinana Fwy keeping traffic away from the construction workers.

Yeo fit in the middle

 

[Eaglemaniac]

Maric gets jumped on his face by a Freo player and no free kick?

 

[Rivoroo17]

I love the pressure I'm seeing from the forward line, actually locked it in with tackling pressure

 

[EagleMan87]

Kelly! Great reward for all our pressure.

 

[Westend]

good goal TK

 

[DeckedOut20]

Rawlinson very impressive forward pressure.

Must have had 3-4 inside 50 tackles this quarter already and a number of defensive efforts.
