Game Day Round 22, 2024: West Coast vs North Melbourne

Two bottom teams in a comatose park and its obvious. Our senior players are letting us down (less Gov) and a few kids are short of what is expected. I suspect a few are sore from last week but that's their chosen career.

Who/was is our midfield coach?

 

[Balls In]

I don't think we are being outplayed at all. More a case of failing to take our chances. Carrying far too many non AFL quality players tho.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Why did he put his hand up to play then?

If you're out there, you're accountable.

Yeah, he’s fair game to criticise today but people making list decisions for our future about Oscar Allen are fried.

Jarrad Schofield.

As per usual when aren’t playing well, yeo, kelly and Allen need to pull their fingers out.

 

[amazingjoshy]

Trew, Maric, Ginbey, Dewar have all put in reasonable efforts - especially for their inexperience and pay packet.

Kelly, Yeo, Ryan, Allen, Hunt, Duggan (ie, 90% of our salary cap) have been basically useless.

It's always the senior guys

Even when they try and blame the kids it's been them at fault for the last 3 years

It's why I don't get why anyone cares about selling off anyone and everyone we cam over 26

 

[Westend]

Billiams stood there on the wing where the turnover happened for a shot on goal.

Bloke is a pea hearted traffic cone.

Multitude of non performers atm.

thought his rucking has been okay today...his first quarter was good

 

[kerrazy]

North with 7 players who have more disposals then us. This is disgusting and pathetic.

 

[ziad]

Jarrad Schofield.

The rhetorical question- I don't think this game is helping him.

 

[Bestbird]

Yeo Kelly for a combined 18 disposals at half time FFS

 

[Bacchus]

Pretty lacklustre effort.

Spooked by the goals especially and the ground.

Bit of a look at a Barrassless defence although we are hampered by Edwards injury and no other key defenders.

A number of very inexperienced players out there, more experienced don’t seem that interested.

Allen really letting the team down with poor errors.

 

[ghostbat12]

If you're out there, you're accountable.

Allen wasn’t complaining, was he?

Look at you, knowing who should be accountable from your lounge chair.

 

[Godfather32]

Well. I’m out of ideas.

I think the answer is obvious, Gaff subbed in and straight to the centre bounce, just like Simmo would have wanted it!

 

[ROYAL EAGLE]

Trew in both quarters late falls away struggling with his fitness, hands on hips not chasing

Dewar been very clean love what he is doing

HJ love his forward handballs keep it up

Ginbey and Maric been good, Ginbey starting to use his pace as he did as a junior

Waterman not been used well, get Allen out of his way

 

[Yeahnahmate]

Allen’s been poor but blind Freddy can see he’s hurt. We should shut him down, shouldn’t be out there.

We’d be genuinely insane to listen to the melts and consider moving him. Star, just cannot move at all right now.

Agreeing with you. Don’t play him then. Huge indictment on the club when the forward line looked better without him anyway with Jake one out. If that’s the case the club needs to get a grip. He’s mud right now, get him off the park. Let’s not choose to have him in then make excuses for this shite we are watching

Hate to beat the dead horse, but I 100% agree.

Young ones have been scapegoated under Simmo for years and seniors were never held accountable.

 

[Rivoroo17]

It's a likely chance that pick 1 this year will once again be decided by the bottom of the ladder team playing a travelling gold coast. Very likely we get smashed in our next 2 games especially playing Geelong at kardinia when they have top 4 on the line.

 

[TY24]

I don't think we are being outplayed at all.

Not at all, we’re only -5 in clearances, -63 in disposals, and down by 4 goals when they’ve also been inaccurate

 

[amazingjoshy]

Yeo Kelly for a combined 18 disposals at half time FFS

Add Ryan, Cripps, Allen, Witherden and Hunt to this and its 42

From 7 senior players

 

[cottoneyeYeo]

oscar's spent half the year injured, it's been mentioned he really isolates himself and struggles when injured. He's also been dealing with the death of his father in law in the past few months. There's more to life then footy at times

 

[Elite Pete]

I understand Schofield game is freeing everyone up but time to watch Shezzel. Just to dry that movement up a little.

Allen can't jump or turn. Knee is still an issue I suspect. He looks unfit. He really needs to not have an off season. He should be in the gym from day one while the others are in Thailand. 8 weeks of leg weights and he will be ready for a running preseason.

Richmond aren’t winning two

 

[Yeahnahmate]

TK things he is gangsta but meanders about on his toes. Get TF dirty for once. This is when I miss often maligned players that actually didn’t mind getting proper stuck in for the jumper like Pridda & Reddo

 

[Priddis Is Done]

G'day Mrs Allen

Hows your son travelling today
