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

[eagles rule]

On paper we look competitive.

TB, McGovern, Kelly, Darling and Allen isn't a terrible goal to goal line.

Unfortunately the game is not played...
on paper.

what do the key match-ups for these guys look like ?

Gives away more free kicks and turns the ball over more than anyone.

No way does he give more frees than Jones.

 

[Get_The_Gaff]

if you read the write up on our rebuild on the AFL site, you would know that Witherden is highly rated in the coaching circle,
and is a leader in the locker room.

Too bad he sucks on field.

 

[Keys]

No way does he give more frees than Jones.

Tom Cole - 78 frees against from 90 games @ 0.87 per game

Jamaine Jones - 45 frees against from 65 games @ 0.82 per game

So Cole gives away slightly more

Jones 2.49 clangers per game to Cole 1.90

Cole playing predominantly as a defender whilst Jones only played 1 season .

I just remembered Jones getting sucked into frees playing as a defender and giving away cheap goals

 

[Priddis Is Done]

I have to say that the turnaround this year has been incredible.

Having played a game and we are 12th.

In 2023

Jones 4 frees against from 13 games

Cole 12 frees against from 12 games

You might be thinking of 2022 where Jones gave away 25 frees from 18. Cole didn’t play in 2022

It's all about the vibe mate.

Nobody wants your 'facts'.

25 from 18 games when playing in defence in 2022 ?

He clearly cleaned that up in 2023 but looks to have fallen out of favour with the coaching staff

Heart: close loss

Head: 77 point loss over very early

Head, Heart but no Gut.

Come on mate, YOLO.

 

[DirtySandman]

YOLO

But finishing bottom of the ladder, you die many times.

 

[Priddis Is Done]

Now at 11th. We could be in the 8 soon.

 

[Cuzz09]

Heart & Heart but no Gut.

Come on mate, YOLO.

gut feel is we'll have a crack but struggle to score v ports defence and mids.

Hopefully respectful til half time then prob Port run away and Willie will kick some junk time goals

All this Cole bashing needs to stop. Y’alls are making me feel crook to the guts.

Cole is a champion of the game, a shining star in times of darkness. He’s a great dancer, wins spelling contests, and isn’t slow… he’s very fast.

You’ll all eat your words when he goes AA this year.

Yeah it’s 2022 - it’s best we all move forward and forget about 2023.

2022 was much better.

Remember when we had those WAFL guys randomly playing an actual game? And that was ok because it was only really us impacted and not an important club?

Wild times.

Plus all those frees JJ gave away that year. No wonder he’s right on the cusp of playing next week when we get smashed by Port and they shuffle a few Luke Edwards shaped deck chairs.

 

[BrotherDodge]

I was just putting on a doomed multi and kinda surprised when the Last Five Games thing reminded me we won two and lost another by a point. Tenth on the ladder seems fair, really.

yeah it was just the freo blow-out that makes it look bad, we played ok v a red hot Adel but faded late

Hope we get to see Dewar too, credit to him for working his way to this point. Could be a good sub option

Crazy if Dewar gets to debut even as the sub! He's come a long way in a short amount of time to even be on the plane.

The kids got serious talent.Let’s see if he’s got the grunt
