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

[Spirit Level]

A few notes:

- Walker is seriously good, needs to stay in the side from now on

- Switta is an absolute gem

- I wasn't sold on Shultz in the early years and never thought he'd be more than average, but he's proven me wrong and turned into a very good forward

- The left city end pocket is now Noddys pocket and no one elses

- if we don't get the Ohhhhhh Neil Erassmusss chant going at every home game I will be incredibly dissapointed

- Why in the absolute **** did west coast get to kick from the square when Ryan walked over the goal line when Lobb had to kick from the boundary for the same thing.

Hard to judge how well we played. West Coast are absolute trash.

Yeah, you'd hope to beat the worst team in the comp by 50 + points but we did that, and we were missing our whole first choice midfield bar Brayshaw.

It's not a season defining win but its a game we needed to win and win well and we did. Win next week against a GWS team that is very beatable, especially at home and we are 3-1, that's nothing to sneeze at with our outs to start the year, regardless of who we played

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

Might need to walk away and show some humility...

- Why in the absolute fu** did west coast get to kick from the square when Ryan walked over the goal line when Lobb had to kick from the boundary for the same thing.

Pretty sure the reason was Ryan gave away a 50 for the umpire abuse rule

Pretty stiff, but the reasoning is there

Credit where credit is due. Walters and Bandfield were fantastic. They both have to keep playing like that though to stay in the team.

O'Driscoll & Erasmus must stay in the team moving forward.

Meek was great and was everywhere in the first half. Also thought Walker was really important for that bounce out of our back half and clean disposal.

Thank God Moose is ok, that was heart in mouth stuff when he went down.

hahahaha oh god.

my dyslexia misread your statement. i thought i read "the goose moose is ok, that was heart....."

 

[Sweetback]

Walker is very good at getting a fist in at the last second. He showed that towards the end of last year too

Naitanui tried to kill Brodie near the end. He is going to break someone's neck the way he drives them into the ground like that. Grub.

 

[Freo Big Fella]

The entire squad apparently having long covid (after a week in iso) is one of the better bits of spin I've seen coming out of Lathlain.

Yeah that was shit

 

[MrDanggazz]

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.

“Average” is probably to harsh a label in hind site

 

[Cobbler]

Felt the backline balance was perfect too.
Erasmus had a solid debut. Looked composed often. Sure there were some rushed kicks but nothing horrendous.

Everything said, Eagles bottom 6-10 players were non-existent.

Imagine if Hurn and McGovern were made to split some air balls. They’d have lost by 100+

Par for the course with that shit campaigner. The media won't say anything about it, though, since he is the 2nd coming.

Especially when there’s 140kg behind it

Defence looked better with one less tall.
A Pearce was ok except body on body. Core strength is not there.
Switta was great, as was Aish and Tucker running through midfield. Hopefully we keep it up next week.

Deliver to forward line was good. Lowered our eyes.
I liked Walters through the midfield, his kicking is elite

You just have to pay what's in front of you. We played well enough on that measure.

...not for much longer though. If he plays on next season, it will be a HUGE mistake from the slime!

 

[bushchook]

if I was opposition team coach I would forget about tagging Brayshaw and tag Brandon Walker instead. Devastating with ball in hand, he's going to be one of our best players in the future.

 

[freo84]

When did that come into calculations? If anything it proves the point more lmao. A young team up against an older team, half of which likely have long covid.. and you expected a different result?

You blokes struggled to outrun a side riddled with covid until they were out on their legs in the last

Bahahaha ok Champion

It was a 50m paid against Acres for using naughty words when he saw the decision

 

[G Mus]

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?

They had too many fit players to be allowed top ups again

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Not that they care given the start to the year they've had but shout out to Blues fans who thought SPS was worth anything at the trade table. WC got ripped off on that trade

 

[WaywardSonSon]

Lol, "long covid". This bloke needs to quit while he's ahead!

50m for remonstrating. The sickening thing was there were a number of equally, if not more, demonstrative dissenting actions from WC players before then aaaand....... nothing.

 

[BettercallSaul]

Nic Nat has about 15kg of long covid.

Nothing to say, just wanted to see the above again.
