Game Day Round 2, 2023: West Coast Eagles vs GWS Giants

[MeltMan]

Lomg may he reign! Had him in my top 60 this draft, so getting him at 58 was a steal!

 

[TassieEagle]

Well. I never saw that coming. Waterman, Cripps, SPS... Really everyone except Barrass played a damn good quarter of footy.

 

[Farang83150]

My Longy boner is bursting. Kid just has it.

Cops'l be knocking on your door shortly!

 

[kaiserchief13]

Long, what a great player. Don't coach his game out of him

 

[Eaglemaniac]

The W Train is on today.

 

[the harry]

Is Waterman our best natural forward, albeit slightly undersized? Leads so well.

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

Deflating miss by Waterman. Hopefully more goals for him in the 2nd half.

 

[Farang83150]

Long the hidden gem of the draft

 

[RookiePick]

Jake unlucky with the timing of the siren. Reckon he dobs that 9/10 with his dander up like it is today.

 

[MrKennedy17]

Williams out for Nic Nat
Whos out for Yeo? Witherden
Whos out for Culley? - Gaff?
Imagine how much these 3 players will straighten this team up.
Very good signs today but still mids like Gaff & Sheed making horror mistakes.
Sheed has gotten better as game has gone on.

Waterman has his role now.
Can pinch hit in the Ruck when needed for Nic.

Would like to see Hewett activated now for Witherden.

 

[KERRPOW]

Chesser has been a bit underwhelming

 

[Eaglemaniac]

nice half

 

[eaglesfan84]

My fear with Long is he is from Victoria, we might lose him

 

[Seadog]

Longy is way good. Pure footballer.

 

[Spooky17]

Can we please give Long an extension, because he’s been giving me extensions all day!

Hough prolly comes in for Witho, tbh.

 

[Doashuey]

Long is steal of the 22 draft. Composure, vision, confidence, execution, decision making and skill all in one very neat nuggety package. ****ing gun.

 

[Eaglemaniac]

Chesser has been a bit underwhelming

Missed a lot of footy.

 

[EagleMan87]

And Hewett hasn't even come on yet.

 

[Ishmael_]

Waterman's got to play all year. He's at the level and can play as a proper utility.

I also love Waterman playing forward ruck, it feels like a good fit.

Worst case scenario we find out he's no good and delist. Best case we've got a B22 Swiss Army Knife.

Vic Country player I think. They usually don't run home at the first opportunity.

He's like 4 hours from Melbourne. On the boarder with NSW.

Edit maybe 3?

 

[Priddis Is Done]

While there were 2 x players on our HFF, 1m off the ball, debating whether to get the ball or stay out, Long in a 1/4 of a blink of an eye went, F this it's my ball.

He has it.

 

[KERRPOW]

You'd think GWS would tire after last weeks conditions.

 

[mitchzz]

Chesser has been a bit underwhelming

Some encouraging signs today I think

We're playing him pure wing which can be a tough position at times to get involved. Could be a good idea to throw him down back
