Game Day Round 1, 2024 : West Coast v Port Adelaide - 1.00pm Sun 17/3 @ Adelaide Oval (A new era begins)

[kaiserchief13]

They put him FWD to try and break the tag that Port had thrown on him.

He was on the bench for half the quarter in the 1st quarter. 56% TOG in 1st quarter

so who played well in the WAFL yesterday?

gaff is done! Should never have been selected in the first place.

 

[twce13]

I get dugg has had terrible disposal, but at least his intensity has been huge.

 

[CursoryMercenary]

TB, Duggan, Gaff, Darling all very poor


Ginbey also a concern, plodder vibes. his TOG is so low and hes one of the fittest in the team?

Allen unsighted too but suspect hes playing injured honestly.

It really is the most Duggan game ive seen. his effort, intensity and 1%'s are fantastic and leads the way in that regard. but lacks the composure and polish he should have with his experience

Yeah some late career Priddis vibes for sure. Whilst Sheezel continues to tear it up for North.

 

[Godfather32]

I tell you what having Gaff on one wing and Edwards on the other is inspired stuff. Has to be the slowest pair of wings of all time.

 

[MeltMan]

To be fair we don’t know how gaffs kicking is going as he can’t get the ball to stuff it up

He sent an around the bidy in our forward to a port player 5m clear of anyonw. Who then dropped it.
His kicking is shit.
His handballs are shit.
He is shit

I have no idea how this will play out. Preseason form says we will be competitive for a quarter and then steamrolled.

Hopium says Preseason form can be ignored and we will pick up where we left off last year - competitive for 3 quarters and the difference being a run on by the opposition in one quarter.

Some semblance of a playing style, hard at the contest and no injuries will do me fine.

Port by 38.

I think the first quarter prediction ringing true

 

[Westend]

Simpson hasn't drawn a line in the sand for years, he won't do it this year either. What a disgrace this club has become

What did you expect ? Senior players are average kids not good enough yet

Give it a few years and we will be okay

 

[garlic munchers]

Drop Gaff next week

Chess into the 22, Hall or JJ to sub

Surely JJ over Gaff is a no brainer?

I want to see him break the tag in the backline or mid

The ball ain't ever going fwd!!!

 

[Bender_]

I get dugg has had terrible disposal, but at least his intensity has been huge.

He's trying his heart out but I reckon I could kick better than him today.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

-6 inside 50s
-5 clearances
-10 contested posessions
+5 tackles

Not actually that bad there, all things considered.

But 12-2 marks inside 50, 7-1 contested marks, that’s what’s killing us. Just can’t get 15 seconds to ourselves to get players forward and start to lead up at the ball.

 

[Shuestar13]

Tough quarter. Skill across the board dropped (even further).

A few good bits of play here and there, but just overwhelmed at the contest, unable to stop their transition, missed tackles, poor decision making.

Need to fight it out in the second half. A bit more time on ball for Harley will be good.

 

[15yearmember]

I don’t get what the coach is trying to achieve here. We lack pace in key areas because he’s playing players without pace in them.

Then Harley starts well and he takes him off and then inserts him in a different position.

Then plays the second quarter with him outside the middle (most of the time).

I just don’t get the plan?

 

[Ghossein]

At least we now actually have a reserves team with some AFL listed players putting out good performances

 

[mat11]

As of right now, going into round 2 simmo needs to make a statement and drop these senior/premiership players for that shithouse first half. Lazy, soft, poor decision making and execution. No excuses for these senior players

Duggan out for jj
Darling out for maric or Williams
Gaff out for hall

Cole/barass lucky we haven't got anyone to swap with

 

[Crimson King]

Just leave Harley in the midfield for rest of the game. Let him cook.

 

[Priddis Is Done]

Thank the heavens we drafted Hewett and he gets over his ferret issues.

Because you don't pick a project player like Ginbey who has no idea about football, at the point end of s draft.

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

It could have been worse, we could have taken Ginbey at Pick 2 as the recruiting team rated him

 

[Eastern Rangers]

Gaff, Withers, Ledwards all absent today.

Long, Ginbey and Allen all below their best.

Duggan needs to get out of the midfield, he's a liability there.

Too much falling on Yeo, Kelly.

Gaff 3 disposals. Wow. I'd call that a win for us.

Shuffling along like a duck across the wing .
Him and Bergman started next to each other when there was a turnover. Within 15m Bergman was 5m+ ahead of him .

Duggan won't get dropped but I can definitely get behind the other 2.

Duggan isn't getting dropped & I doubt the other two either but Dug is safe as he's captain. It would take 4 or 5 absolute baths for him to lose his spot.

Simpson hasn't drawn a line in the sand for years, he won't do it this year either. What a disgrace this club has become

The only bloke that drew lines in the sand at our club was Mitchell.

Hawks might have lost to Bombers but they look miles ahead of WC in system and structure.
