Game Day Round 23 vs West Coast: The Eagle Has Soared

[thebeedee]

Some of the worst umpiring I have seen that half.

 

[Roo Lives Again]

That Gaff HTB non call was ridiculous

 

[Mike Smyth]

Best so far - Cheney, Lyons, hendo and Atkins.

We missed our opportunity with Douglas and McKay - have to carry them in finals now.

Not a top 4 team.

 

[WetCrow1991]

Tom Lynch has been invisible.

 

[Footypie32]

Hendo our best at the moment. That's worrying.

 

[GROTTO]

7:20 AM eastern time and Port still sucks

Hopefully you go to work happy today. I hope I go to bed happy.

 

[Shaz2012]

Better this week than next. We weren't ready for finals and this proves it. The break will do us good to reset from this performance. Pyke has 2 weeks to fix up whatever needs fixing.

Lets see what he can do at half time. We need to win this game to keep our belief that we can win this year. If they blow us away that could be our finals campaign done and dusted tonight.

 

[Scorpus]

Worst on ground for me is Jacobs.

He's been absolutely putrid, no impact in the ruck, no impact around the ground, and that hurts because we need him as that tall marking target in our gameplan.

 

[Redleg Crow]

Still in it. Need to come out and play one of our best 3rd quarters. Can;t afford to turn up shite like that first 2 minutes of that second quarter.

 

[FR0GGY]

How about McGoverns tackle on McGovern, didn't even take possession

 

[Tyls83]

Putrid.. We are letting them play their home flat track bully footy at our oval. Cheney has saved us from being 5 goals down.

 

[ac83]

Awful half. Feels like we're down by 10 goals.

I still think we'll win, though. Bookies agree as we're currently slight favourites.

 

[Footypie32]

Tom Lynch has been invisible.

Lynch, Jenkins, Charlie and Sauce all need to lift substantially.

 

[Punchy Bassett]

Jacobs clearly isn't fit

 

[GROTTO]

Tom Lynch has been invisible.

He is not playing tonight in the side.

 

[Vhaluus]

What game are you watching?? Mackay is one of the only players who is disposing with some effiency and creating for us. He's in a best 5 at the moment.
The other two have been awful

8 handballs and 2 kicks from an outside player? Let's compare to Henderson with 15 kicks 5 handballs.

One of them has the ratio you want from an outside player. The other one doesn't.

One of them has 2 rebound 50's, one has none.

One of them has 3 inside 50's. One of them has only 1.

 

[Wood_Duck]

Shanked a couple.

Made numerous errors. One glimpse of brilliance but shit house otherwise.

 

[douglyzia]

Jenkins 2 disposals, 2 clangers.

 

[1990crow]

Cant believe how bad we have played. So typical. We have learnt nothing from the geelong games, pyke is costing us in these types of games. Change it up

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Thank goodness for their poor goal kicking

Did we trail at all three breaks against them in Round 12?

 

[The Sloane Ranger]

Terrible half of footy
JJ soft
Poor decision making
Poor disposal
Poor work rate
No run and spread

 

[GROTTO]

That Gaff HTB non call was ridiculous

So was the Lever mark. FFS UMPIRES.

 

[Tyls83]

Playing last years grand finalists with their gameplan is looking ugly

 

[AmericanCrow]

Hopefully you go to work happy today. I hope I go to bed happy.

Oh I got into the office at 6 am to watch from the start....couldn't go in later this morning cause I need to get little AC after school today.

 

[Hank93]

Awful on so many levels and it's still just 11 points the difference.

Hoping half time break can help turn it around
