Game Day Round 18, 2024: West Coast v Brisbane (Farewell Simmo)

[Rivoroo17]

Brilliant mark, trew has been excellent with his tackling pressure. Tk didn't deserve the cheap goal edwards should've slotted it

 

[Shuestar13]

Nice finish TK. Keep at it guys.

 

[wce4premiership]

Those types of tackles annoy me, the one from Trew (not his fault).

You catch someone cold but can't dump them properly to cause the illegal disposal, the player then handballs it out and it's play on.

I see it all the time where because players are being held up, they get a handball out of a situation that would have been ball in years gone by.

Bailey Williams just slowly jogging through the midfield while the ball is within distance is shocking. Where's his defensive game. At least apply some pressure.

If he’d had a shave like Simmo asked, his moustache might not have blinded him from the Lions player with the ball running past.

Zane trew is playing good I reckon based off this and his Great WAFL stats he should get a 1yr deal but we will see

 

[Smotie2]

Reid has been incredibly disappointing since his return.

13 games in getting heavily tagged in a team without much of a midfield to give his support and protection going through the worst turmoil in club history and you're criticising his output?

 

[woosha24]

Just quoting this one but could quote 100 others…

He won our B+F last year, he’s not some fringe player clinging on for dear life. Playing Tim Kelly is a no brainer, bizarre the hate he cops on here whenever he’s not by far our best mid.

Badge, he's been poor for a large section of this year. Some of it because he was expected to take on the whole midfield load by himself in the face of injuries (which, fair enough), and others because he's played like a gumby like today.

"Winning the B+F last year" is credits talk. If he is having bad games, he's gotta go earn it in the WAFL.

We seriously need small to medium defenders almost as much as mids.

Imo we need 1 better small/medium and a 3rd tall/interceptor in the side. Take out Witho/Ginbey and bring in Gov and we look ok back there

[Smeg Head]

Man we turn that over there in the middle and it goes over the head of 4 eagles back to a pack of lions

 

[Shuestar13]

Rioli there is… something

 

[navi_]

zane trew **** off to china

 

[stallon]

what was that kick from Harry Edwards lol

 

[ROYAL EAGLE]

Harry Edwards is our best player so far in this game

 

[wce4premiership]

Twice now for Williams on the wing. Great to see.

It’s not credits talk when we’ve got about 3.5 AFL standard mids, who have had mixed availability throughout the year. He hasn’t been bad enough to get dropped, the microscope he gets put under (even last year when he was comfortably our best) has always fascinated me.

He’s not anywhere near his best, but he’s been passable. Problem is given the trade and focus on him, passable isn’t good enough.

 

[Westend]

Good half effort is there would like to see our midfield and Allen stand up more

 

[Cuzz09]

Great effort so far!!

Can't fault it.

If we played like this v NM we win.
If we played like this v Haw/Melb we push them to the last qtr

I’ve seen specifically tk burn Harley way too many times this year. Pretty disgraceful he hasn’t been raked over the coals so it stops happening.

I reckon it's because his disposal under no or little pressure is poor for an elite mid.
I don't know what the official stats are for de but every game he seems to just miss targets, make wrong selections of where to kick and miss hand balls.

I have nothing but love for him. And he has been burned like 5 times by his teammates this half alone. And yes he is being tagged. So perhaps I am being too harsh.

His sloppy 50 was incredibly frustrating. Perhaps that’s colouring my view a bit.
