Review Rd 3 Review - Young Dockers win the Derby by 55

Schultz

Such a committed player.

 

[Dockers v Channel7West]

We can take comfort in knowing we will play that festering pile of sh<t twice a year for the next 5 years

 

[Outshined]

I know the narrative will be all about West Coast's lineup/COVID troubles but that was an excellent performance from an understrength side. A near 10 goal win with no Darcy, Fyfe, Mundy or Serong is impressive. Especially given Brayshaw didn't exactly have a blinder. Fantastic to see a strong response to the shit dished up last week. The big challenge is carrying this momentum into next week against GWS.

Seems like we got the balance of the side a lot better this week. Walker provided so much drive off half back and looks like he's got 50+ games under his belt already. He won't always be as calm and clinical with his ball use but there is a hell of a lot of talent there and we'd be insane not to have him partnered up with Young on the half back flank for the rest of the year. Ditto Erasmus.

Fingers crossed Tucker is all good, that was nasty.

 

[Square Peg]

Good performance:
Brayshaw, Meek, Shultz, Chapman, Acres, Brodie, Switta

Promising signs:
Walker, Erasmus, Walters, Taberner, O’Driscoll

Average performance:
Lobb, Clark, Aish, Frederick, Pearce, Cox, Colyer, Ryan, Colyer, Young

Thoughts?

Average players
Lobb, R

End of list

Edit and Tucker, D but I was seriously worried about his neck there, so cut him slack

Brandon Walker:
Fit
Decent contested work
Two way runner
Can kick it like Walters
Good decision maker
Creative vision

Get him on a wing.

Well....that was unexpected.

Not sure how to feel about that win.

Well done fellas!

Now back it up against the Giants!!

Friendship ended with JLO, Jamie is my new best friend.

 

[Bastyy]

Someone should tell Nelson he should do less talking and more playing I reckon...

 

[Mogumber]

My God, play Walker before Logue

 

[Ge3ks]

Lachie Schultz wins the medal

Good call. The way he threw himself into contests was inspiring. Human canonball.

 

[gaskin]

Magnificent. Ras, Noddy, and Walker need to be in the side each week now. Johnson too when he gets fit and some minutes under his belt at Peel.

I do worry about GWS next week though.

 

[Supercoach Bargain]

Sad that Stef Giro was left out of the Eagles line up.

I rated him as a prospect, now he can't get into that side.

What happened?

 

[estibador]

I'm not really sure how I feel after that.

Happy we won convincingly but I don't feel like I normally would after a 9 goal win.

Maybe it was the late eagles goals, maybe it was the way we reverted to kicking long to McGovern and Hurn most of the game, or maybe I'm just buying too much into the 'poor covid eagles' narrative causing me to underrate the win, but it just felt unsatisfying for some reason.

I dunno, I'm probably just still jaded after last week. We're sitting 2-1 but I still have no idea whether we're a decent team or not.

Disposal is shithouse.

Might need to get your hands on a few more top 10 picks after that one. Struggled to put away a side holding on for dear life and running in quicksand

Cox was terrific, best game for a while for us? Not sure how the whole backline gets an average rating considering they got held to a sub 50 score.

The backline seems to be being held to a ridiculous standard around here of late.

Well we won't be beating top 8 sides with the way we played tonight. Still a lot to work on but a win is a win.

Brayshaw had a game high 11 score involvements despite being tagged. Think he deserved the medal.

 

[Thistle]

Baffling Walker wasn't in the team for the first two rounds

Maybe we could trade for Nelson... he looks a real winner

Agree. Was probably the biggest positive for me. Such a good user and decision maker.

Super satisfying win. ️

Our team was younger and less experienced than yours but good call champion.
