Game Day Round 11, 2024: Waalitj Marawar vs Kuwarna

[Godfather32]

This starts in the midfield imo, can't win the ball, just completely impotent

 

[boondy]

Getting flogged and umpiring gifting them as well .

 

[timeforanother22]

It’s the normal cycle of life for our team.
Shit everywhere > start to play better at home > become reliable at home > start to win occasionally away > win most at home and a few away > can win anywhere > premiership

 

[RookiePick]

Can’t wait to move Simpson on at the end of the year.

...there it is.

This isn't a Simpson issue. The players haven't turned up after glugging last weeks bathwater.

I can't believe the instruction has been to jog around 5m behind your man.

 

[MrKennedy17]

Next week the fun begins. Too many tall fwds, not enough good mids.

Could we see Darling and Jack Williams or Maric dropped for Allen and the move of Bailey Williams move into fwd line, because of Flynn? Waterman MUST stay Full Fwd too. Allen must play CHF. This makes me think even if they move Bailey Williams to 2nd CHF he won't be there long. Which then makes him trade bait. They will prefer to play Barnett/Livingstone next year onwards as back up ruck. How is Archer Reid doing in WAFL? The more i think about this tall fwd line situation i hope we trade one of them to Freo for Erasmus. Nek Minnit WCE select Scaife at Mid Season draft.

Culley & Hall/Trew/Hewett.

is going to return to anywhere near his best? They have to either drop him, he is finished or re-invent him as a running half back. Because he doesn't launch himself at contests anywhere near what he used too. I said this at the start of the year. I wouldnt want to see this Liam Ryan

for 3 years or whatever he has left at AFL level.

 

[Matera92]

Hopefully now this narrative about us being good at Adelaide oval can stop being rolled out each time we play there.

Current mob is trash once they have to leave the safety of Optus.

 

[WCErevival]

Short memory?

Not even f'ing close

Its almost as bad as the Sydney half time score last year.

 

[ToastieBoy18]

Dawson - 17 disposals, 2 goals. Probably BOG.
Sheed - 4 disposals, 0 tackles.

I hope all of you who wanted Sheed to retain his spot are happy

This would be a valid post.....if Dom had run with Dawson for more than a 5 minute period in the first half.

Dom aint playing well at all, but has had nothing to do with Dawson.

 

[Ishmael_]

Well that's enough for me, time for some late chores or literally anything else.

But hey, it's the first game I've turned off this year, so baby steps I guess.

 

[KBLT]

I see the usual suspects are crawling out of their holes again

 

[eaglesnutcase]

Midfield,midfield, midfield!!
What midfield??
STOP STANDING STILL.

 

[Altum Volantes]

Dawson - 17 disposals, 2 goals. Probably BOG.
Sheed - 4 disposals, 0 tackles.

I hope all of you who wanted Sheed to retain his spot are happy

They’ve literally shown in the coverage, Dawson did the most damage when Ginbey had him and then Duggan.

If anything, Sheed curbed his influence in the 2nd Quarter - not surprisingly when we managed to string a few positions together.

I know he’s an easy target but it’s not really fair to pin this on Sheed.

 

[wce4premiership]

The standard of umpiring is so poor. I don't understand what goes on in their performance reviews. It's a league wide problem that the AFL needs to address.

They've made a mess of it.

 

[Dom sheed pocket]

Can’t wait to move Simpson on at the end of the year.

You’re going to be bitterly disappointed come year end.

Even more in February Ryan Daniels reports we quiet extended him for another 2 years

 

[illegaleagle]

If tex and fogerty played us every week they would be the all Australian FF and CHF

 

[CursoryMercenary]

We've had some floggings this year for sure, not quite as bad as last year but we've still be noncompetitive in a few.

 

[Rivoroo17]

We can't get Flynn any sooner. O'brien has always done well against us but now he just clowns BW. Williams can compete against rucks like gaw but he has no ability to shut down the larger oafish rucks like Darcy, Obrien and Witts.

 

[Smotie2]

Can’t wait to move Simpson on at the end of the year.

This is where the pressure comes on simpson.
Full squad bar a couple and getting flogged doesn't bode well for him.

I honestly don't care whether or not he stays but whoever is coaching has to stop this and develop a game plan that doesn't allow us to get smashed on the road.

 

[Dom sheed pocket]

Fogarty has owned us since 2019 lol

Who thinks PLAYERCARD]Liam Ryan is going to return to anywhere near his best? They have to either drop him, he is finished or re-invent him as a running half back. Because he doesn't launch himself at contests anywhere near what he used too. I said this at the start of the year. I wouldnt want to see this Liam Ryan for 3 years or whatever he has left at AFL level.

Just going to assume you didn't watch the game last week at all...

 

[HoneyBadger35]

This is shocking and nobody is praising it, and I swore I’d given up trying to mitigate game day melts, but some of you are talking like this is the game that’s cost us a finals tilt?

Like yeah this is tragic and it’s why we’ll finish as a bottom four side, likely bottom two, but that was always on the card this year and you typically don’t finish down there by accident.

People saying the players got ahead of themselves after last week but sort of maybe thinking some of you might have too?

 

[Manbearpig77]

...there it is.

This isn't a Simpson issue. The players haven't turned up after glugging last weeks bathwater.

I can't believe the instruction has been to jog around 5m behind your man.

From my perspective, he isn’t an inspiring coach for this group anymore. Sometimes people run their race in high powered positions.

I feel like he’s well and truly run his at WCE.

Time for some fresh ideas and a new voice. Long overdue.

 

[Spod]

Our defence is just bizarrely disfunctional. Adelaide taking almost uncontested marks while three eagles stand around within a metre. Uncharacteristic errors and drops from everyone including Barrass and Gov. A real mess and completely against form.

 

[bzparkes]

I see the usual suspects are crawling out of their holes again

Like clockwork. Could win 23 games and lose the last round and they'd come out demanding the coach be sacked and half the team delisted.

 

[wce4premiership]

Mentally our players have been shot. When to fly for a mark, when to stay down, when to handball or kick long. It's a mess at the moment.

Too many players standing off, no forward pressure on the ball carrier, they're all scared their man will get it out the back and they'll look bad for leaving their man.

Yeo needs a massive lift.
