Autopsy Rd19 vs West Coast

[ChopChopDigDig]

There's a MB thread by a ____ing loser complaining that they had to play in Hobart. It's amazing.

Yeah complaints on Reddit RE this too. Isn't the flight like 45 mins longer? Why should they be spared the trip to Tassie??

Great games by all players today but l still get the shakes when McDonald has the ball. Hopefully Waite will be back next week but Scott says Jacobs is indefinate...This was what we saw in the first half of the season that had everyone shaking their head and admitting they got it wrong...

Suddenly, the “Suddenly” thread seems to be not so sudden....How to go from out of the race to seriously back in the game in a half of football!

Thought Clarke was fantastic. Cracked in providing an outlet and was clean, which isnt always the case.

Couldn't agree more, wasn't sure he was up to it like a deer in the headlights at times but today he was good as Ive seen. Hope it continues

Very happy with the win, but more importantly really happy that we have gone back to the intensity we had pre-bye, we put them under a ton of pressure and even though our tackling left a lot to be desired for it's execution, there was a lot more intent to put the players under pressure and a lot more intent to disposes the opposition rather than just corral and let them hit uncontested targets.

We still need to work on the kick going inside 50, we can't just go to Brown all the time, we need to utilise other options, we also need to have more plays where Brown goes to one pocket, drawing the crowd with him, while we look to hit up Wood or Ziebell in the corridor one-out, we have to bring the ball into the corridor a lot more before we go inside which gives us more opportunity to go inside 50 without being forced to just go long to where it is congested.

One of the best team performances by the club under Scott. Scoreline flattered the Eagles; we whacked the snot through them.

Imagine if we had kicked the simple ones missed, 10 goals+ thumping and a percentage booster

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Baul

And whenever one of them gets the ball the crowd screams "BAUUUUUUUUUULLLLLLLLLLLL"... That wouldn't get confusing, we'd sound like a Tigers/Sydney crowd.

 

[kangafruity]

Maj has serious issues below his knees

Besides that he is just as good at the intercepting marking role as anyone in the comp, including the bloke the Eagles gave a million a year to

So does Ben Brown, Maj has more awareness when the ball goes to ground though

 

[kangafruity]

Turner spent some time in defence and it was a winner... who would have thought?

Yep he was MUCH MUCH better today. I reckon a rocket through the week and a move probably helped

WCE supporters on Reddit complaining about the umps. I did'nt see them get the rough end of the stick today?

The only one that stood out was Zeibell completing a mark a couple of metres over the line. Umps made a few mistakes, like they always do, but I didn’t think it really favoured either side.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Simpkin 8 tackles.

Hahaha. Never change West Coke supporters. They won the free kick count 17-16. Half of our frees would of resulted from them being caught holding the ball due to not being able to stand up to the heat in arctic conditions. EAD.

There's a MB thread by a ____ing loser complaining that they had to play in Hobart. It's amazing.

Is complaining that Blundstone arena is not AFL standard, specifically citing the wind.

Blundstone is one of the best maintained ovals in Australia, and the wind was non existent today lol.

 

[scottywiper]

We really need Jack to sort out his set shots. That one he kicked out on the full in the last was horrific.

 

[see see]

Probably already been quoted, but Dermie in a rare moment of lucidity summed it up perfectly: "Ahern and Cunnington have assaulted the West Coast midfield today".

And Dwayne, it's "punched" the ball, not "knuckled" you colossal f***punch.

 

[see see]

Quote of the day from Derm lol..
"Ahern and ben cunnington have ASSAULTED the west coast midfield!"

I should've at least read the last page of the thread before posting the exact same thing.

 

[Zondor]

Great Win by the Mighty NMFC and it was brought about by a ferocious attack on the ball and applying continued pressure on the opposition. Special mentions to not only Ahern and Cunnington but also for Goldstein. Best game for the year IMO. His attack on the Football was first class. Plenty to like. Maj, Marley, Simpkin and Anderson very good. We just need to bring that Pressure week in week out. 79 tackles this week. Compare that to last week's Rot. :stern look

 

[Benj7]

The good thing about this game is we have shit loads to fix and it won’t be done in 6 days but the rest of the season and pre season.
I love the club however I’m not happy with how players are getting games when they don’t deserve it and their are blokes in the vfl that are beaking their balls to get in and don’t even get a look in

But the lack of success through the middle of the ground was more of a contributing factor.

Simpson conceded his side was “out-pressured and out-worked”, with workmanlike Roos midfielders including Ben Cunnington, Paul Ahern and Jed Anderson making the biggest impact at stoppages.

The Eagles lost the clearance battle 44-36 and finished 26 shy of North Melbourne in the contested possession stakes.

On a typically wet and windy day in Hobart, you need to take every advantage you can get in the battle to gain ground. And the Roos were simply able to gain more and more in the territory stakes as the match wore on, doing their best work when the ball was up for grabs.

Tellingly, North Melbourne was able to commit more bodies to more contests on a more regular basis.

Dwayne thinks we picked up Ahern with Pick 65. All in Sunbury knows it was Pick 69. :stern look

And LOL Dermie thinking Pegs meant Peninsula and Essendon Grammar. :stern look

 

[Heavy B]

I had to wear a welding helmet watching Ahern play today. His future’s so bright.

[Heaps of fun]

So pumped by this win. Eagles might have been without Kennedy, Shuey and Darling but they're still a great side and North smacked them around the park.

 

[Kanga Glory]

I'd give him round 23 as a farewell game

I agree, based on today’s output there will be others pushing up next year.
