Game Day Round 15, 2024: West Coast vs Essendon

[Hoskin300]

Bailey Williams is a problem.

Been telling yall.

5 touches, 0 marks. 0 score, 0 impact.



Who'd have thought this was going to happen Simpson

Flynn is a bigger problem. Hopefully he is just rusty tho.

 

[OldBlueEagle]

Williams cost us 3 goals in last 5 mins, please trade him or leave him in wafl forever. Ahhhhhhhh

 

[Knifey Spoony]

Is Durham (spelling?) the new Chris Judd or us our defensive spread from transition awful?

 

[Westend]

Been a good effort regardless.

Absolutely frustrating yes, but that's what you expect from a potato team that is 16th. Can't ask for much more than that 16 vs 4th or whatever.

Still need to be asking for more and holding players accountable after this.

Proud of Yeo for coming out and putting in a shift for 4 quarters after his big extension.

we lost by 30 points and we can't kick straight

 

[Goroyals22]

I think ginbey is one of the last players to be worrying about

Actually he is not.. he contests. Williams is a traffic cone

Until Flynn taps to himself and plays as a mid like bailey does idc.

Our needs ruck taps not a midfielder

 

[Eaglemaniac]

Not sure why we subbed Maric who was playing well on the wing for a forward in Hutchinson. We should have subbed Allen as he’d had almost a full game and was running out of gas.

 

[Westend]

nice to see Oscar back

 

[Spod]

Pretty good effort for the most part. Happy to see some magnets get thrown around for some very good results and Allen building into the game pretty well. Still being in games on the road against top 8 teams with a few minutes left is definitely a pass mark this year.

 

[CoastersFlag No.5]

2.4 from Oscar didn’t help. Ah well Kelly and Harley back. Brockman and Ryan very handy in the midfield.

ginbey was okay

 

[Ghossein]

Allen 2 goals, 9 Marks, 13 disposals

hardly the disaster predicted by some

 

[Westend]

English does nothing to fix our ruck issues...

yes he does better than Bailey simple for me

 

[Westend]

Allen 2 goals, 9 Marks, 13 disposals

hardly the disaster predicted by some

yeah he was okay...third quarter very good

 

[amazingjoshy]

Allen 2 goals, 9 Marks, 13 disposals

Allen was fine

Darling or one of the rucks has to be dropped

 

[CursoryMercenary]

Strange game, certainly applied good pressure most of the game, smashed in the ruck but mids did well. Forwards were the reason we lost today dreadful kicking for goal. Barrass was immense in defence.

 

[Bender_]

Allen 2 goals, 9 Marks, 13 disposals

Oscar Rawlinson should've returned through the WAFL.

 

[VicBased]

Not sure why we subbed Maric who was playing well on the wing for a forward in Hutchinson. We should have subbed Allen as he’d had almost a full game and was running out of gas.

They would have left Oscar out to gain match fitness.

 

[Hoskin300]

Allen 2 goals, 9 Marks, 13 disposals

hardly the disaster predicted by some

Ignoring the fact he missed 2 or three easy chances and dropped Auskick marks. He was fine but we were clearly too tall.

 

[Westend]

Allen was fine

Darling or one of the rucks has to be dropped

darling kicked goals and set up a few....thought he was okay

 

[KERRPOW]

Allen 2 goals, 9 Marks, 13 disposals

hardly the disaster predicted by some

Was just extremely rusty

 

[Bender_]

Is Durham (spelling?) the new Chris Judd or us our defensive spread from transition awful?

When we can't stick a tackle to save our lives he definitely looks a lot better. But he's having a very good year so far.

 

[Obeanie1]

Nah reckon he’s just off his feet, is barely moving this whole quarter.

I noticed Ginbey was ball watching and walking after 4 minutes in the first quarter.

Thought WTF its not the last 5 minutes in of the game, run man run. It was quite strange.

Not his best game but not his worst.

 

[Jeeves]

It would have been much closer if a few of those fairly straightforward goals that were missed went through e.g. Snake's shot after the 1/2 time siren and Oscar's and Darling's misses in the 3rd. I’m sure there were a couple of others too so, all in all, it was a credible effort. However, the ease with which teams score transition goals from our forward 50 needs to be urgently addressed.
