There was one more duck, quack quack quack quack, Liam Ryan joined the flock quack quack quack quack.

Umpiring terrible. You can walk away and say most weeks we got a rough go but it was probably right. Today there's blatant BS and non-existent frees
Anyway...
Finally Mitchell has moved one of our defenders. Not to a wing like we've been crying out for, but day up forward is providing a good option

Thought Mitch Lewis was dead after that crunch. Tough bastard

Ward playing great
 
Newcombe's skills have been off since he copped that knock. Hopefully he's ok.

Day is looking really good ahead of the ball (which I think is a harder position to play). I can see where the Bontempelli comparisons come from. Obviously nowhere near that level but the goal sense and the "always in the contest" tall mobile guy - very nice asset.

Breust looks like he's playing against VFL footballers. Just so much more confident and capable than anyone else on the ground.

Plenty to like but this game really feels like two coaches experimenting rather than two teams going all out for the win.
 
Also – Dylan Moore 5 clearances at the half
 
I’m not one to whinge about officiating too much - but the complete lack of hands in the back calls on West Coast in the first quarter and the bewildering umpiring late in that quarter have given them about 3-4 goals they didn’t earn. Despite only playing well for one quarter we should be leading 57-20something.

Very impressed with Ward game today, taking his time with the ball and summing it up both feet.

Love the addition of Moore in the middle the balance is coming.
 
This is gonna be Ward's 'I'm here' game

was only a matter of time

Interesting - listening in the car and Sewell referred to his disposal, with a touch of frustration, as “lazy”
 
We're still not getting enough benefit from our ruck advantage in the middle.

+19 for hitouts at half time.
+17 contested possessions

But we're -7 for clearances, and in particular we're -3 for centre clearances.
 
Wet toast only this close due to some incredible luck with the umps essentially gifting them some goals. We pretty much controlled the 2nd quarter; keep that up and we will blow it out

Everyone contributing well; the one hand mark and goal from CMac had superstar written all over it
