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

[Bort Cummings]

Skills not great, but we're the worst team in the comp playing a likely top 4 side at their home ground. I'm hoping we can keep it to within 6 goals. Thought Jamieson looked pretty good. This is one of the flat trackings we're going to cop until Ginbey/Hewett/Long/Reid etc are in their 3rd or 4th years and we'll be an entirely different proposition to play against.

 

[Boohemian]

There are just so many nothing senior players running around.
Gaff.
Darling.
Duggan. I've been waiting for his elite disposal since 2015.
Cole.
Witherden.
Petruccelle. Though he did 1 nice thing so he is safe for 5 weeks. And he has speed of course speed speed. Speed is more important than footy ability. But he had a couple of nice moments. Year 7 on the list and he is praised for nice moments.

Petrucelle is contributing and you can't fault Duggan's purpose. Yes, disposal needs to be cleaned up. The others though - agree with you. They're adding nothing.

Isnt Ginbey supposed to be quick and super fit?

Means nought when you don't have any semblance of a footy brain

 

[amazingjoshy]

I don't think Ginbeys even been that bad

You'd think he had Gaffs 1st half reading this board

 

[Marlin01]

I wouldn’t make any voluntary changes for next week. Let the guys playing well in the WAFL consolidate their form and then bring them into the team to stay.

 

[FKASC]

Isnt Ginbey supposed to be quick and super fit?

Apparently. But give him at least another couple of years first before commenting that he’s flat footed and second to the ball

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Not getting anything from Witherden (one nice handball chain aside) or Gaff. Easy solution of Hunt to the wing and free up Witherden as the exit guy?

 

[eagles rule]

embarrassing by Duggo today playing like a amateur ..

I think Ginbey is a winger. I noticed him on the wing.

He is quick enough and has endurance to match the wingers.

Him not touching the ball isn't a big liability on the wing

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

Or you could wait more than 1 season and 1 game, against one of the best midfielders in the comp, before you start potting players.

Nah, game day threads have no past and no future, they exist solely in the present.

Must be a ripper bloke to be captain, but really butchers the ball at times.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Petch has kicked 2 goals and is playing forward, where the ball has barely been for the 2nd quarter.

Gaff, Darling, Duggan and Cole have been pretty trash.

Not sure why Petch keeps getting lumped in with players actually having a negative impact, when he's made the most of limited chances.

And is alongside Cripps as forwards actually chasing.

Yeah true.

Fold the club.

 

[Wedgetailed Westerner]

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

Great user name to post correlation there

 

[Ghossein]

Can't claim you're serious about the rebuild if Gaff keeps rolling out and playing like this ahead of Chesser and Hall

 

[jatz14]

Gaff isn't better than that anymore.

I really really like Hunt.

 

[InTheWings]

Nice pass by Brocky

 

[giffler]

Great kick by brockman, he’s looked good when he’s got the ball

 

[Manbearpig77]

Brockman is class.

 

[WCE_phil]

Pressing a touch too hard forward and getting annihilated on the rebound.

Some of the seniors have been good but some terrible.

For all his muscle and size Ginbey to me is still seriously lacking in core and leg strength. Also doing nothing to dispel the recruiting nickname 'second to the ball Ginbey'

Williams, Gov, Cripps and Petch imo have been pretty good.

Harley had a good first quarter before copping a heavy tag in the second. Hopefully it's a learning experience for him. Some great touches and has been in the right spot at times too only to be burnt by either poor disposal or team mates making poor decisions.

Also if this is the base level and he only improves from here Jamieson will make a good but not great key defender.

 

[Dugg]

Brockman looking great on that side of the ground in his first game for us

 

[Smeg Head]

Houston is destroying us

 

[Wettoaster]

Brockman has way too much poise for this team, stands out like dogs aggots
