Preview Round 13: West Coast v Western Bulldogs Preview and Match Thread

[Biggie]

Oh my. Ebert

 

[Biggie]

Thoughts on a 15 goal loss here?

 

[WCE57]

Ahhh jesus! Ebert

The big question is how come so many of the young players are going backwards at a rapid rate. Way too many. It cant just be down to recruitment. Our young players look like they have no idea what to do. Lack of Leaders or the coaching staff cant develop young players?

 

[kane249]

It's no coincidence our skills have gone backwards since Broadbridge took over

 

[Eagle87]

Dalziell couldn't hit his own man 15m away under zero pressure

 

[kane249]

Dalziell you ****wit! it was a simple chip over the top to an open player in Strijk and you mucked it up

We should call Smiths chips and see if we can at least profit from the spuds we have

 

[Biggie]

Wow we made hard work of the foray forward.

 

[Eagle87]

Kennedy

Quietish today. But working hard ....

 

[Swift Chubby]

Wilkes is getting far to much ball...

 

[dajesmac]

The JK47 strikes.

 

[KaLL]

strijk! :'D

 

[Eagle87]

Strijk !

 

[Biggie]

Strijk

 

[Biggie]

McKinley

 

[KaLL]

I would like to think that but atleast Richmond is backing their youth. We continue to play players like Lynch and Embley. I dont think the current coaches actually consider the development of the young players. Something is very wrong at our club.

Ignoring the part were we have consistently fielded the youngest side in the competition (most weeks)

 

[dajesmac]

The JK47 strikes.

Whoops, I mean, the JK47 Strijks.

 

[WCE57]

Strijk.

One of Scooter better games today. Seems to be everywhere

 

[kane249]

Ebert again

any danger he might get dropped like he deserves to be?

 

[WCE57]

Ignoring the part were we have consistently fielded the youngest side in the competition (most weeks)

Point taken but when the likes of Ebert, McGinnity and Brown who have been in the system for awhile seem to still play like nervous 1st gamers. I do question why? And I just reckon picking the likes of Lynch is sending the wrong message.

 

[Biggie]

Bloody hell.

Wow great tackle McGinnity

 

[Eagle87]

Not like us to concede a soft late goal

 

[W3llsy]

Ouch. Didn't need that goal.

 

[Eagle87]

Our effort is decent, especially from some, but our ball use and our lack of any sort of adventure or daring is diabolical. But if you line up with a bunch of slow plodders all the way through your midfield what can you expect.

Please someone tell me why Swift wouldn't be out there today?

 

[Westi3]

This is painful to watch.

 

[W3llsy]

Ebert has had 15 possessions, 11 uncontested.

8 kicks, 7 handballs.

40, yes 40, percent efficiency. Surely we cannot tolerate this. I dont mind young blokes struggling with energy, getting out-bodied etc week to week, but basic uncontested possessions turning into turnovers just isn't good enough.
