Game Day Round 11, 2024: Waalitj Marawar vs Kuwarna

[Alesana]

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.

Ignore Dawson then. What is Sheed offering us here?

 

[Dom sheed pocket]

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.

No it isn’t.

What were your expectations this year, and what is a pass mark for simmo this year?

Be more competitive, get 3-5 wins, see a new game style, blood the kids.

I know some hate it, but Simmo is meeting/exceeding any reasonable KPI’s he had at the beginning of this year

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Chesser 55 ranking points at half time, sixth afield and tied with Gov for our best.

 

[Flarn Rarn]

Can't believe Simmo told the players to get led to the ball all day. Truly baffling coaching imo.

 

[KBLT]

I'm sure following the example of clubs like North is a great idea.

F*cking morons.

 

[Bacchus]

based on recent years....yes

I saw it reported that Simpson said we are not interested in away games.

If that is true it is such a bad thing to say. Gives everyone an out for a shocker like this.

This is game is appalling. The coaching is terrible from the selection to everything else.

Rotham is such a horrible footballer, never want to see him play again.

 

[Magnum27]

I don't go into games expecting to win, i know we are a long way from being a serious team, and are still carrying blokes who most likely would not games regularly anywhere else, but some effort and application is what should be the minimum requirement, we have done neither today.

 

[Jumpoff Joey]

The whole team is off.

Waste of my time, but still watching.

Edit: Chesser has done okay, all things considering.

 

[stallon]

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?

Crows were tipped by many to be a top 6 areas team, we were tipped to not win a game. It sucks to watch but shit happens, we have had a couple of good wins so no point getting too upset

That pretty much confirms the eye test. Adelaide doing a fantastic job nullifying Yeo, Kelly and Reid in the middle.

Settle down and read my post again lol

 

[Magnum27]

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

And that is why we need a real ruckman, not a claytons ruckman. As soon as we can get Flynn in the better we will be.

Good thing too, we still need high end talent and need to finish at the bottom end to achieve this. Don’t want o timprove too quickly and miss out on whatever we can get before Tassie comes in and decimates the draft.

I don't think he ever said that.

He acknowledged our away form is bad and we need to get better.

Amazing as soon as they pass the WA border they all turn into gimps

Makes you think though.

Are we making sure we get a top 3 pick. A win here would of seen us climb two spots with us overtaking the Crows.

A loss puts us back into top 3 draft pick.

Where was that reported? I heard him say we aren't a good away team yet which isn't the same thing.

 

[WCErevival]

I think we need to try and avoid a 100 point belting. Would be nice not have any of those this year.

 

[Yippy Yi Yeo]

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.

If he can't do a job on Dawson and he can't offer anything at all offensively then what's the point? His lack of pace and mobility means they have an easy exit at every stoppage and a free man in transition whenever it gets turned over

The players arent going out there with the intention of losing

 

[Dom sheed pocket]

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.

Look at how Yze is travelling at Melbourne.

The last thing I want is an inexperienced coach at the helm when we are embarking on biggest rebuild in history, and managing an asset Harley.

Last thing we need is instability and turfing a good coach and wise head.

There will come a time when it’s time for someone to new. Not this year, and maybe not next year either.

 

[TY24]

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

The internet must’ve been down last week

 

[Kapowie1]

What is our excuse for this fvcking rubbish? Utter trash

Collingwood thumped us by plenty. Crows went down by less than a kick.

Not surprising they have our measure.

Pretty disappointed we decided to not fire a shot at all though.

Should be the goal now, win the second half and pressure them when we dont have the ball.
