Game Day Round 3, 2024: West Coast vs Western Bulldogs

[15yearmember]

Getting young blokes to play reactively and defensively isn’t ever going to work.

A decent coach would know that

 

[Mulldogg]

Harley pull up with a hamstring there with that chase right at the end?

 

[kaII]

I don't need us to win. Just wanna see us stick tackles and kill the flipping ball at this point but apparently that's too much to ask

 

[Natho]

Well that stinks

 

[Rivoroo17]

Geeez ugle Hagen has gotten away all night with the hands in the back, yet he gets the free straight away. Forwards are a given free reign to exploit it yet are protected against it

 

[Godfather32]

Hough....i just dont see it with him
Dont think he has it

I reckon there's about 14 guys on the field you could say the exact same thing about at the moment

 

[Priddis Is Done]

$50 if you can name 10 legitimate positives today

 

[NYRB]

Three away games per year for each WA team get shown on delay on Ch7. It's been happening for years.

It's an "incentive" to pay for Foxtel/Kayo.

Damn. You do sense then AFL as a sport has become more and more of a class divided sport if so.

 

[Manbearpig77]

Been 2 and half years of this garbage with no end in sight.

Absolutely pathetic.

It’s unacceptable that we’ve gotten to this point.

 

[RookiePick]

Confidence is completely shot 3 games in. No one wants the footy.

This is exactly what Simpson can't afford. Everyone going into their shells and playing selfish footy.

Not sure I liked the way Harley pulled up there...

 

[Biggie]

Well, that went as well as I expected.

 

[Gizza]

Don't want to dump on Yeo too much because he's probably been our best but why the **** can't he pick up the ball today?

 

[Eaglemaniac]

Yeo has the ball tapped directly to his hands and he still fumbles it onto the ground. Why are we so ****ing bad at football?

 

[wadeallday]

Looked like Harley pinged a hammy

 

[Avalor]

English - that's why he is such a useful player. Anyone that doesn't want him at the Eagles just doesn't watch how effective he is. And Yeoy continues to fumble. It was a poo half of footy from us. So many errors.

 

[Sammy J]

Mirror image of our second quarter vs GWS.

The Swans are going to brutalize us next week.

 

[Barrybran]

Turnovers. Same shit as last week. We're actually holding our own around the ball but getting murdered when we turn it over. Yeo is putting in a shift.

 

[Magnum27]

If anyone thinks this will be a 5 yr rebuild is kidding themselves. It will be a minimum 10 yr rebuild with the amount of spuds we have running around.

 

[TY24]

Our Sheer inability to do anything it’s just incomprehensible. We can’t tackle, we can’t kick, we can’t mark, we can’t defend we can’t kick for goal. How does our coach still have a job?

Yeah the coach is responsible for basic skill execution errors

 

[archiemoses]

Reid will leave in 3 years and we'll be shit for the next 10 years as we continue to split picks and draft players who can't play

 

[DickDunn]

Out: Jones
In: Gaff

How much worse can he be? JJ ain’t gonna be on our list much longer anyway

 

[15yearmember]

Not sure if this has been brought up but why wouldnt this game by live on free-to-air in Perth?

Its being shown on a 3 hour delay on 7 in Perth.

Because they have this thing called TV rights. It’s been around for a couple of decades.

It is live on TV in Perth by the way, most of us are watching it

 

[Westend]

Been 2 and half years of this garbage with no end in sight.

Absolutely pathetic.

It’s unacceptable that we’ve gotten to this point.

yeah and its not getting better the youngsters are just poor and don't show anything

seniors I think are having a go today

 

[Free Agent]

A lot of negative Nancy’s on here - I’ve actually tipped us to lose by about 54 points by games end as that’s just where we’re at the moment - until some of these younger players get more games under their belt. As there’s no doubt the younger players will get overawed at times at this stage of their careers and mistakes will happen - I just want to see some signs of improvement. It is a bit of a repetition of last week though with our inability to score in this quarter and the Bullies now are having a run on and Simmo is clueless once this starts to happen!

I think it's going to be a lot closer to 100.
Bulldogs won this quarter by 40 points.

If they do that for the next 2 it's 120 points.
54 point margin would be remarkable at the moment with how much we just got dominated.

Criticism is warranted. We've been pathetic.

 

[frenchconnection]

Cripps- a senior player- calling for it again.

2nd time today, did the same to brockman and same result.

Selfish, selfish play.

Who - Cripps or Brockman.
