Game Day Round 17, 2024: West Coast vs Melbourne

[BeornJ]

4th for what?
He won’t play 100 games for us, clown.

4th highest rated player in the AFL for his age according to PlayerRatings.

 

[Flarn Rarn]

Just need a bit more run out there, bring on J Will

 

[Godfather32]

We have plenty of small forward options don’t need to force culley in as one.

Nah, this is bullshit. There are plenty of options open to us to getting Culley in the side, nevermind the fact that he's been playing mostly inside mid in the WAFL.

 

[squashface]

I’m desperate to see a new look side just to give us something. We’re rebuilding ffs and yet spuds like Witherden and Rotham along with the oldies like Cripps and Darling get trotted out each week.

Give us guys like Hall, Dewar and Culley instead to just maybe see what it may look like?

****ing hell.

 

[Shueygod]

What has he done to warrant 65 more games? Name ANY GAME where he was a standout?

He’s the 4th best performed player from his draft, maybe give him a bit more time.

Can you name any of these options as none seem to be able to kick goals or tackle or keep the ball in like small forwards

Ginbey aka mr fumbles has worn off on reid.
Chesser is piss weak, should be tried as a small forward.
Brockman, what's he doing? All I've seen him do is soccer it and hit it on, pick up the ball you flog.
Hutchinson, other than his tackles and the one good kick on the wing, hasn't been noticed.

Shitty running just the Sheed jig jog as per usual

Can easily put kelly on the HFF and get culley in the middle.

Well we broke even. Green shoots.

Down by two goals over the last two quarters for those playing at home, which was effectively a five-minute period late in Q2.

 

[Ishmael_]

Brockman is great at pouncing on a loose ball with energy and speed, looking like he's going to dance around it and burst off.

Instead he ties himself in knots, falls on his arse then gives a high energy flailing arm or leg at the ball which is now 2 metres away having been nabbed by some plodder who just bent down and picked it up.

He's like Willie Rioli

if he was constantly chasing a runaway ping pong ball.

 

[ReidBetweenTheLines]

Saying ginbey won’t play 100 games is a horrific take hahaha

Why??

Please point out 1 game out of his 32 where he has shown to be a great midfielder. Show me 1

You can’t do it.

Everyone gives him a pass because of his high draft pick. Kids a bust. It happens. I called it with Notte, Mcdougall. I’m calling it again. First round dud. Bookmark it.

If he plays 150 games in the AFL I’ll smash egg on my face and upload photos on this board.

[Elite Pete]

Foot skills are the difference. They hitting majority of kicks on the over lap, we can’t when we try and no gun shy.

Our entries into 50 are in the pockets/flanks and from distance.

 

[CursoryMercenary]

Some effort but Melbourne just able to rebound and score too easily at the end there.

 

[mat11]

Simmos last qtr of footy for this club?

 

[Spod]

Have thankfully been out so only catching parts of this on Kayo. Have previously defended Simmo but something has gotta give now. Just inexcusable that we are still getting these horrendous results woth our "best team" out there and not even giving most of our kids a go.

Tell me these 2nd year inside mids that have shown to be a great midfielder.

Because hes a 2nd year player with a different role every week?

Hopefully rotham witho darling too

 

[Hoskin300]

Nah, this is bullshit. There are plenty of options open to us to getting Culley in the side, nevermind the fact that he's been playing mostly inside mid in the WAFL.

But why does culley get to come in as a small forward over the young guys playing as small forwards?

 

[KERRPOW]

Tyler brockman subbed for Jwill.

LOL

 

[InTheWings]

Ryan trying to keep it in and gets pinged for deliberate OOB

Righto ump

But the umpiring has "never been better".

 

[Flarn Rarn]

My prediction: we keep it pretty tight in the final quarter and Simmo brings up that it was close for 3 quarters within a minute of his presser starting.

 

[eaglesfan84]

I said it earlier and I'll say it again, our whole team, whole ground defensive tactic is either useless or non-existent. Useless as in the players are doing what they're instructed to do but it doesn't work, or the players aren't instructed anything defensively and the players just do whatever they "feel" is the right thing to do at the time.
