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

[kane249]

how about doing a head count, they must have five more players out there than us.

This will be an issue when Tassie comes into the comp

 

[UseR2006]

FINALLY

 

[kaII]

Finally a decent entry i50 tho

 

[WCErevival]

We miss Lecras and peak Darling goal kicking

 

[Dom sheed pocket]

Let's stop making stuff up. Almost as worse as Vic media saying

Why would anyone want to hang around this rabble?

Pretty obvious from his body language.

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

Another miss...

 

[Godfather32]

“Ginbey can’t kick”

Yes...one of Ginbey's five kicks today has been good

 

[Crimson King]

Get ready for the Gaff reunion.

"Need his experience to guide the kids".

 

[kranky al]

Given Simpson’s contract is rumoured to be at a minimum 800k per season, we’d be paying him a minimum of $1.6m (likely more than that) out of our $7m soft cap.

What head coach are we hiring that’s going to turn our results around drastically enough to make that hinderance worthwhile?

I can agree with that.

Keep Simmo till eoy, pay him out -get good draft picks - reload with a new coach

 

[Barrybran]

No way. Rough.

 

[Avalor]

Cripps left his boots at home. And the siren beats us. 2 goals in 3 quarters of football. Awesome!

 

[illegaleagle]

Darling and Cripps and Gaff all cooked

 

[archiemoses]

Bailey Williams refusing to kick it to Reid then only to kick it straight to two dogs players. Something is up.

 

[Eaglemaniac]

So now we have three forwards standing around watching the ball come towards them on the half fwd flank, and none of them go for the mark. Instead, we watched two Bulldogs defenders go up for the contest. What the hell are our forwards doing?

 

[Shueygod]

Yes...one of Ginbey's five kicks today has been good

They’ve all been at absolute top pace, not an issue with his kicking just needs to slow down a touch before.

 

[TassieEagle]

Back to back, baby.

Wait that's back to back goalless halves.

 

[Shuestar13]

Can’t score again… Two weeks in a row a goalless half. The ball has been getting in there, not with any great method unfortunately, but the forward line as a collective is all at sea

 

[NYRB]

Class divided because you have to pay for it?

I mean food should be free too right?

I have a full time job. I have Kayo Sports.

Back in the 90s, im pretty sure in WA, you could access 7 out of the 8 AFL Games on free-to-air.

Times have changed but AFL has become more and more a class divided sport, and Ill stand by that. Its not class divided as say: soccer, rugby union, tennis is to this country but its moving that way.

 

[garlic munchers]

Hard to find really any positives out there right now

On farm, no Fox and don’t get footy until 4pm……….. winning

 

[Barrybran]

Tough quarter to watch. Bulldogs players finding space way too easily.

 

[GrumpyGoron]

Things are just going to keep getting worse

 

[kane249]

We miss Lecras and peak Darling goal kicking

With JK at full forward and Shuey delivering laser passes into the 50

Those were the days

 

[BrotherDodge]

Looking hard for any green shoots, but they'd probably be bindi anyway.

 

[illegaleagle]

Simpson will be happy with the game

 

[Gizza]

You know what. I don't reckon we're playing as badly as the scoreline suggests. We're just absolutely butchering it up forward. We really should've kicked at least 3 goals in each of those quarters.

And yes. The fact that we didn't is because we're playing badly. I think it's just a different kind of badly than just straight being slaughtered.

We're actually decently competitive in general play and are getting it forward plenty at least.
