Game Day Rd 1 vs Adelaide @ Adelaide Oval (1:10 AWST)

[Westerberg]

Clearance work atrocious, which is a worry. Pressure looks a lot better than last year, which was one of the biggest concerns out of last season.

Ball movement pretty good but lowering the eyes inside 50 still needs to improve.

Overall trending in the right direction I think, but slowly

 

[Lach72]

He has been good.
Ball not down there much

He’s getting pounded by Rachele…and he cost us a goal by taking possession not tapping it out.
What game you watching?

 

[Wilksyy]

Unless you are wearing purple?

Yes, that too

 

[Taylor]

Frederick with clean marking hands has been huge for us.

 

[Purple Jesus]

Tell you what, Cerra would never have done what Clark did there with that goal.

Also, love Meek’s work.

So had Acres best on and Chapman worst on in their pre game predictions?

 

[Rob]

You ask the Adelaide crowd or the commentary and they'd still think Adelaide are being hard done by.

TBH I can understand that because they're getting quite a few shit calls as well. The Adelaide crowd either don't know or don't care that we're getting twice as much against us.

You know the umpiring is shit when the home team thinks they're getting screwed when they're on the good side of a 16-8 FK count.

 

[Minz]

Wish the blokes would take a leaf out of the womens' book and kick straight... chicks really put on a display yesterday.

 

[Square Peg]

Jordan Clark recruit of the year

Hmm, great runner, great attacking mindset, great goal.
Can see why Scarlett didn't want him though, are you going to trust him to go hard when it's his turn? Two really soft efforts in the last part of that quarter

 

[rubydoomsday]

positive: 17 scoring shots in a half
negative: wrong score, mostly

 

[tonygeeks]

Brayshaw , Meek , Acres and Clarke best for mine at the half

Why have Walker and Erasmus got their footy gear on?

 

[Bastyy]

Why have Walker and Erasmus got their footy gear on?

Taking part in the Auskick games given they can't play WAFL this week

Because its sexy

 

[Funbeanman]

Switta is quietly having a good game 7 poessessions and 6 tackles i hope he gets reward with a few snags in the second half

 

[kingswood71]

So I'm confused by the holding the ball rule. Apparently you can now get tackled and put the ball on the ground and it is play on? Is that right?

Only if attempting to make a try apparently

Freddy and Treacy's special goals paper over how wasteful we've been with our opportunities.

The inclusions of both Fyfe and Darcy may go a long way towards remedying this issue.

 

[MrDanggazz]

Brodie and Clark look like pretty solid pick ups.

 

[Nolo180]

Did Freddy kick goal of the year or do his taxes? The commentary didn't make it clear.

I believe the commentary team said " its the clubhouse leader" but they will find a way to give it to Rochelle by the end of the game....

So had Acres best on and Chapman worst on in their pre game predictions?

Chapman, Walters, Banfield, Switta all average today

 

[Taylor]

Why have Walker and Erasmus got their footy gear on?

Everybody warms up, nobody quits

 

[kingswood71]

Good first half in many respects. Some nice passages.
Should be further in front but we will run it out.
