Game Day Round 24, 2024: West Coast vs Geelong

[sharps24]

Junk time Jamie sewing up his game one 2025 selection. Spew.

 

[Eaglemaniac]

Cripps kicked his second goal to get him another 3 year contract.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Hutch into the middle showed a fair bit. Have a preseason and get stuck in next year, could be a nice addition to the list.

 

[random260]

I knew hutch would be a good mid option. He has a smart footy iq and speed and tackling is top notch.

Although don't know his cardio well

 

[Crimson King]

Hutch should be utilised as a mid from now on. Good at reading the drop of the ball and at ground level.

 

[Hoskin300]

Playing Reid forward , great move opportunity for other young players in the midfield .

We could also achieve this by moving out either yeo or Kelly.

 

[timeforanother22]

6 free kicks in 2 quarters of football?

ffs

21 to 6

 

[ReidBetweenTheLines]

When Schofield told the players that the Eagles could shape the finals in round 23, he probably didn’t anticipate them losing by 100+ and boosting Geelongs % above GWS and Ports lol.

 

[BartBart]

Maric and Hutchinson are at least having a go!

Impressed with Hutchinson seeming to be able to read where the ball is going in the centre bounces - unlike most of our mids.

 

[Lia]

Hutch has good intensity just needs to be cleaner.

 

[Avalor]

Let's hope the boys can keep it to under 100pts.

 

[InTheWings]

Hutchinson has been good around the ball. Clean.

liked the game of Waterman and especially Dewar.

Hutch’s have a history of being good mids for this club.

 

[Boohemian]

Better quarter.

Maybe if the AFL let us start with a 100 point deficit, we might have a crack from the first bounce.

 

[WCErevival]

Hutch is what Ginbey should have been on the middle.

 

[Bender_]

That's one of the stupidest ****ing hypotheticals I've ever heard. Take a good hard look at yourself.

 

[Chris_6678]

Is it knee for hough?

 

[RookiePick]

Hutch should be utilised as a mid from now on. Good at reading the drop of the ball and at ground level.

Good sized lad too.

Fingers crossed we back that quarter up. Geelong eased off a bit for sure which helped but I think it's the greater involvement of the younger crew that invigorated our movement.

 

[eaglesnutcase]

The one good thing to come out of this game is we’ve unearthed a midfielder in Hutch!

 

[Hoskin300]

Hutch should be utilised as a mid from now on. Good at reading the drop of the ball and at ground level.

Yeah it’s the most natural he has looked in any position. Should be permanent inside mid next year.

 

[timeforanother22]

Hutch is what Ginbey should have been on the middle.

Well now we have Hutch in the middle and Ginbey in the back line

Take a look at yourself, good and hard

 

[timeforanother22]

Is it knee for hough?

Looks like a medial by the ice placement

 

[GWeagles]

I guess it was a good call to give Hutch the full game and not as sub. He has shown plenty today and we knew Maric was good for 2025.
I know the Cats have the cue in the rack but a much better quarter.

 

[VinegarStrokes]

Has taken way too long but nice change in the centre square that quarter. Bit of Hutchinson and Hall with Reid and Kelly more forward. Need to mix it up to see who can be in midfield mix next season
