Game Day Round 17 : West Coast Eagles vs Brisbane Lions at the Gabbatoir

[Ishmael_]

Taylor now Gunston, the geriatrics love playing against us.

It must be like post retirement bush league for them. Zero pressure, running off 40 year old smokers with beer guts.

How fun

 

[Spod]

Unfortunate to give up those last few goals. Could've been worse, could've been better.

 

[Byron_Clanger]

16.20...could've been a far worse result

 

[Eastern Rangers]

Hewett 13 touches at halftime. Would have loved 20 for the game.

Another preseason or two to build his tank.

I really am struggling to remember a worse kick than Duggan.
I'm not including Gaff because he's pretty much finished.

 

[CoastersFlag No.5]

Hewett with 18 disposals, 10 contested, 5 tackles and 4 clearances. Would have been nice to kick a goal but probably his best performance.

Hewett with 18 disposals, 10 contested, 5 tackles and 4 clearances. Would have been nice to kick a goal but probably his best performance.

Would've been better if he didn't spend half the game forward, but he is a first year player I suppose.

I'm happy with us playing defensive tbh.

The kids will need to know how to play that way at times and it's better for their development than ludicrous cricket score defeats.

 

[Eaglemaniac]

He was b.o.g for me.

 

[CoastersFlag No.5]

Would've been better if he didn't spend half the game forward, but he is a first year player I suppose.

Think they are still managing him in the midfield no point blowing him up early days.

 

[Godfather32]

Hough 22 disposals, 14 marks and held Charlie Cameron to 8 disposals, 0 goals and no country road

He was b.o.g for me.

You guys obviously didn't get the memo, he's not Chris Judd so why would we even keep him on the list?

 

[Altum Volantes]

Couldn’t watch - any more injuries?

 

[Spod]

Great game from Hough. Hewy and Chess keep building well too.

 

[ziad]

Would've been better if he didn't spend half the game forward, but he is a first year player I suppose.

Managed has he has no tank (as they say)

 

[Cuzz09]

It's a huge win if we keep it under 100 now

I've missed something here haven't I?

Yeah, needs to earn his midfield time over the absolute studs in there ahead of him

 

[Total_Juddshanks]

Margin extremely flattering due to Brisbane's poor goal kicking, they missed some absolute sodas.

No country road is a MASSIVE win

 

[CoastersFlag No.5]

Cole got more disposals than Gaff and Xon in 16 odd minutes. Embarrassing.

 

[Godfather32]

I've missed something here haven't I?

Yes...earlier in the thread some dunce said that Hough is only B grade so why would we bother keeping him on the list for 10 years

 

[Astro7]

It starts in a few minutes on FTA...sounds like the same old-same old, with Mr. Floppy and Co.
Great to hear Hewett and his compadres are lighting up. They highlight the uselessness of so many other players who have been there for years and amounted to diddly squat!
No need for a big broom for the end of season sweep out...need a bloody bulldozer!

 

[Tyberious Funk]

Didn't get to see the game.... what happened with Gaff? Six disposals from 83% ToG is epically bad, even by his current, rock-bottom standards. I mean, Tom Cole

picked up more possessions as a sub playing less than a quarter of football.

 

[ziad]

Brisbane didn't overly impress I must say. Well below Port and Pies.
We have a list of fringe players who lack poise and skill. Our fowards do it tough but the are witches hats and dont pressure and work up field to any extent.
We need to recruit real class, height where appropriate and pace. I still question the splitting of pick #2. Hopefully in time this will come out on our side. Hewett is progressing but has limitations and Ginbey is one paced.
