Happy to take a rusty 43 point win.
We looked more cohesive in 2nd half.
Lecca looks better in his role as a cheeky goal flea.
JK is the gift that keeps giving.
Mitchell, Petrie, Vardy - great pickups for us.
Glad to get that first away win under the belt.
 
Get off your high horse.

Mackenzie was poor and has been called out for it.

Apart from he, Wellingham and (first half especially) Nelson I think everybody would agree that the team played well.

Due to his contentious selection Mackenzie's performance was always going to be scrutinised.

We won , its rd 1 just enjoy the percentage ,save the knives until we lose ..I`m not saying you personally but just the general theme of venom aimed at Emac ..

I don't see any venom aimed at Emac, just some honest appraisal of his game (and some who must have watched a match from 2014). If anything the blame for Emac's game today should go to the match committee for selecting him over two better players.

**** the eeyores on this board

A 43 point win on the road against a feisty opponent is a good result and I'll take that every day

Only a handful of players had games they wouldn't be happy with and several had very good games
We'd be lost without them though Keys

But I can`t see how Barrass or Schoey would have been better Brown kicked 1 goal ,Pruess kicked a goal ,Goldstein kicked a goal, so what ..The best defenders get goals kicked on them .Rance gave up gaols ,Tarrant up the other end ..

Barrass or Schoey even Gov or Hurn give up goals and have brain farts ..

Who played the majority on Waite, where`s the criticism 1g 7b ..

Barrass is better in the marking contest than Mackenzie and also better with the ball in hand, also very good at killing the contest. Schofield generally took the oppositions number 1 forward last year and did a great job, he also provides run out of the backline and is generally better with the ball in hand than Mackenzie. Brown kicked 2 and Goldstein kicked 3 btw.

I'm not sure what you're trying to achieve. Eric failed to kill almost every single contest today. Plus he put team mates under pressure once or twice that lead to a goal. Eric's role is as stopper. He can't even do this now.

Why was he gifted a Rnd 1 start? Unfortunately he looks finished at this level.

And I think he played Waite at time also.

Goldstein didn`t kick 3 on Emac a couple where in general play ,Brown got 1goal and Preuss 1 goal ..

Check out the size differences Emac had too give up ..

Brown is 200 cms
Pruess is 206 cms
Goldstein 201 cms

Where was the assisting 3rd man to help out ?When Emac had support he could attack the ball and get a fist on it ..

Barrass wasn`t ready and would have been seriously towelled up today ..

There's seriously two of you who think that Emac was even close to average today. Read the rest of the board, literally everyone else thinks he was rubbish and should be dropped.

Really pleased with Redden. Won a good amount of the ball, tried to make space offensively and tackling was outstanding. Only had limited minutes compared to the other leading mids so good signs.

Wellingham. Honestly, not only does he turn up to 1 in 5 games, he only turns up to 1 in 5 contests. So slack with his disposal. I'm sure he thinks he's a much better kick than he is. Testing my patience.

Emac. I just felt sorry for him more than anything. He can barely halve contests now, let alone win them. I think his confidence is still low and it wont help going back to East Perth but not sure what else we can do.

Really noticed Mitchell and Redden spreading the load across the mids. Its not longer just the Shuey and Priddis show.

eagles rule will disagree.

I do think a selection error was made and we did need another floating tall def to help out Emac as Magovern was made more accountable for this game ..

we knew Norf would structure up tall but and gambled that our midfield could apply enough pressure through the midfield to limit the IS50 s

Was the risk reward with Yeo being able to rebound and hit the scoreboard a small price to pay or just lucky as Waite was terrible in front of goal and Thomas missed sitters ..
 
A guy playing his 14th game of AFL with limited pre-0season who was struggling to run at the end of the 1st quarter with hands on his hips last week .

Is a player who will improve with a few runs in the wafl .
.
He looked pretty fit taking on a player with a couple of bounces at the end of the fourth quarter in the WAFL just now

we all know Barrass is GOAT but even last year he didn`t get games till he found form in WAFL and due to interrupted preseason some people just cant accept that he is a young player who has been playing the interceptor and generally unaccountable like Gov .

And some people can't accept that Mackenzie just isn't very good anymore
