Game Day Round 12, 2020: West Coast Eagles v Hawthorn, Sunday 6.10 PM (AEST)

[kazzooka]

Consistently gets smashed every week being the guy trying to do the heavy lifting

He needs support

Mitchell, Worpel and Sheils there too hiw much more support can he get? Can only have 3 in at a time.

Hardwick hasn't been good this year and was really bad last week, but Ryan might end his career tonight. His slowness is not coverable at the moment.

I knew WC would get a free possession out of the middle every single time so I'm ok with that tonight. It's an ongoing team selection/list management in reality issue so not a game issue.

The one thing I would like tonight is for one, any of our forwards to actually go for a speccy and who cares if they drop it, or even give away a free kick, it is a far better option than the eagles guy taking a mark and simply and jogging off... at least in the former options the ball spills so they have to go and get it or get up from the ground to get it. Really dumb football so far.

But hey I still like Will Day.

Makes me sick hearing the commentators pumping up Eagle's "6 wins in a row". By next week they'll have had 6 games in a row at their home ground in front of home crowds. 5 of them against away teams. Our last game on our home ground against an away team was round 1 when we beat Brisbane comfortably. Those who think our current state of shitness has nothing to do with the draw sapping every last ounce of confidence out of the side are kidding themselves. Very sad to see the team playing as it is now (and today looks like an actual improvement despite the score line).

How many has Stratts left till 200? That will do it thanks.

 

[hamohawk1]

Has anyone seen Tim O’Brien? Apparently he gets to a lot of contests.

A lot of 'almost marks', 'almost goals'.

 

[Baz_hawk]

Can we just put Sicily forward already. At least he would give us a target.

 

[Hodginator]

My kingdom for a key forward.

 

[madhawksfan]

Can’t remember any of our possessions being damaging. Mitchell has had 8 touches and no impact, Jaeger 5 and no impact and Worpel the same. Our forwards are out of position and basically witches hats.

CJ and Day have been the only shining lights.

 

[H00t]

Liked Glass I got to say, been getting it good positions just not being used. Which seemed to be Scully’s position in the team

 

[Hot Cheese Rioli]

Interesting Worps 100% game time. Noticed him resting up forward at one point. Maybe a role change incoming there with a bit more time forward for Worps. Don't mind it.

 

[hamohawk1]

The worst thing is we're not even playing that bad and we're this far down.

 

[Spursfan]

hopefully WC put the cue in the rack after half time

 

[hawkeye77]

If I could fix one thing it would be handballs to players under pressure. Watch how creative the Eagles handballs are out of the contest.

 

[RoughysMullet]

This is why you don’t let the playing group choose the captain. They are footy players- dumb as dog shit.. Stratton an absolute liability

 

[MinerBoy]

Every team has players in the midfield. Being there doesn’t mean he’s getting support.

He’s doing most of what those guys should be doing

Should’ve given up more picks for Wingard

 

[bris tarangau]

Clarko fault, clearly not getting the message down to the players

He might have to come and do it from the sidelines

 

[Mercy Seat]

Our kids aren't that bad (CJ, Day, Scrimshaw, Worpel) and have proved this. So why not play more? See who's good/not.

There’s 5 in there today with less than 20 games, Scrim, Day, CJ, Nash, Glass. Unless we drop Burgoyne and Shiels (Stratts will never be dropped), who else goes out?

Ryan is Stratton’s opponent

 

[Brishawk]

O’Brien played across half forward. Gunston and Nash were the deep talls neither made a contest of any entry.

 

[Billyc]

Only midfielder who has balls in our team this year

He has a crack. But no impact

Sicily might be our best performed player this year but we just can’t score. We need someone who can mark. We need two of him but we might need to send him forward ASAP tonight

 

[hamohawk1]

Should’ve given up more picks for Wingard

We've even played him through the midfield to try and get him into the game and still 0

 

[Phil McCreviss]

We look really dangerous going forward

Meh it is probably having an impact but hardly the difference, we have all the same issues we had last year.

well if Glass is rotating in midfield, then 1 of Mitchell and Worpell should rotate up forward (in theory)
