Game Day Round 11, 2024: Waalitj Marawar vs Kuwarna

[woosha24]

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

When you come out and say it in the media it gives the playing group an out. "Couch says we dont play well away so meh".

He should have said "we're looking to improve our away record".

 

[CoastersFlag No.5]

It's the hope that kills you. But look last week aside this is what I was expecting every week. Last week probably got a few of us carried away me included. We have been awful for 2 years. This is just a return to the mean.

 

[Free Agent]

The players arent going out there with the intention of losing

Players aren't. The coach though

 

[wce4premiership]

Just set a small goal of winning the 2nd half.

I tipped Adelaide and fully expected a loss, but the effort needs to be there. I don't mind losing games if we are kicking goals, because that's when we see some flare.

Hate games where we kick 4 or 5 goals, need to show something with ball in hand.

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

It could be worse, we could be Brisbane.

We're rebuilding with no priority picks. What the **** is their excuse?

100%

The post conference against melb is when this whole home game fortress nonsense started. You have players also regergitaing this propoganda

 

[Dom sheed pocket]

Settle down and read my post again lol

Just went and re-read it.

It was even dumber the second time around.

 

[Westend]

...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.

Umm yes it is he is the head coach dude.....if he can't get the players up and let 7 goals to nothing ...questions need to be asked...why aren't the players up ????....what was you preparation for this game ???? what training methods are you using during the week when we are playing away ???

I like simmo but if this keeps on happening...losing consistently away from home well what's the point of having him as coach

It a huge challenge for him and the club

 

[MeltMan]

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?

Converly i thought wed become a side that put in effort. but that didnt seem to be the case.

 

[BrotherDodge]

Having the bottom 15 players in fantasy points tells the story. Ah well! We're a rebuilding side and you can't expect basic competence every week, I guess!

 

[stallon]

Players aren't. The coach though

The players arent stupid, they will know if the coach is trying to lose. Very easy way to get players to want to leave

 

[EagleMan87]

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

There are almost as many posts in this thread at halftime as there for was the entire game last week, in one of our best wins in half a decade.

Says it all about some of the people who follow this club.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

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.

Starts in the midfield.

Yeo nowhere, Kelly largely nowhere, bad pressure on the ball carrier. Feel bad for our backs, they're doing what they can with a shit offer most of the time.

 

[Bacchus]

I don't think he ever said that.

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

Some journalist either reported this or interpreted it this way.

 

[Smotie2]

Just went and re-read it.

It was even dumber the second time around.

Dumb and dumber

 

[Byron_Clanger]

Busting this out for the first time this year. I honestly thought these kinds of games were behind us

 

[bzparkes]

It'd be the latter then.

This is embarrassing, shameful, humiliating and the horrid umpiring is the icing on the wretched cake.

 

[wce4premiership]

90 fewer disposals.

3 more turnovers.

25 fewer marks.

Yeh, I wasn't expecting us to win every week after last week, but i thought we'd at least be competitive and show up? Like most I thought it might be a close game.
They just look lethargic and disinterested.
Is it the Perth fish bowl to blame somewhat, the social/media bathwater?

 

[Smotie2]

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.

Hopefully he's in next week.

 

[BrotherDodge]

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

Yep that's one of our KPIs this year I reckon. A bad day needs to be a 10 goal loss, not a 20 goal loss.

 

[CoastersFlag No.5]

Getting sieved. Skill level to WAFL grade.

 

[Keys]

Need to do away with business class seats as they’re making us soft

Aren’t going to be competitive in games with 113 disposals in a half

Of the highest disposal getters 15 of the top 17 are Crows

Really disappointing game I thought we could be competitive in

 

[eagles rule]

Piss poor today
