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

[Miguel Sanchez]

Wasn’t there a gag here with someone claiming several means seven or something?

Oh, I get it. I get jokes.

 

[kaII]

Lol if Gaff makes the 22 after one week in the WAFL

 

[Chris_6678]

I'm hearing Burgiel had 4 appedices removed?

4 cocaines

 

[Dark Sharks]

Oh dear lord Gaff is back already.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Named on the extended bench, the exact same as this time last week, but let’s all go bonkers about it

 

[RookiePick]

Coby Burgiel unavailable for selection due to having his appendix removed on Wednesday evening. Always something with this team!!!

 

[PremiershipNo4]

Would rather see a young player on the extended bench rather than Gaff.

Like Johnston or Jilliams?

 

[woosha24]

So when are we getting the WCE Bigfooty team to do another live commentary? Love those.

I disagree I’d rather Gaff travel with the team and sit in the crowd as an emergency then have a young bloke fly over not play and miss out on playing minutes in the WAFL

Good thing I didn’t dedicate a significant part of the preview to him. That would’ve been really embarrassing.

 

[PremiershipNo4]

Like Johnston or Jilliams?

Like Hall or Trew

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Like Hall or Trew

Both played managed minutes in the WAFL according to the writeup. Would rather they have a full game this week

 

[flyinghi64]

Need speed for this game so let's consider bringing in Gaff eh?

COME ON, I thought we were finally making the tough calls and making people earn their spots back.
One ok game in a seconds practice match ISN'T THAT.

Would be great to get him back playing good footy with confidence but I just don't think he has that in him atm.

 

[Dark Sharks]

Wonder if Johnston could be tipped to replace Ledwards in the defensive wing gimp role?

Not sure what other position they'd have in mind for him after he impressed off the wing vs Subiaco.

Would rather they were playing managed minutes as a sub personally.

 

[SAweagle]

gaff threatened to release the pics of simmo and cuzzys " catchup "

he kicked so many goals it put that much strain on his torso that his appendix just exploded

Solid point, hadn't thought of that.

Interchange is listed in order of jumper number too, so doesn't mean he's on the bench.

 

[Astro7]

Gaff is not a lock, best save the melts until it's a lock!...like dejavu?

 

[Ghossein]

Gaff was one of our best so why shouldn't he be named on the extended bench

Merit based selections apply even to players you find icky

If he can work his way back into form he's definitely in our best 22

 

[Dark Sharks]

He shouldn't really even be in the discussion, that's why.

Nobody actually thinks even Simpson is dumb enough to bring him back after 1 WAFL game. That said, why is he even on the extended bench and supposedly in the mix? Where is Burgiel (apparently he's had his appendix out and yet is still an arguably better selection than Gaff) or Hall? Why have we, in a supposedly rebuilding team not moved on from the slow as treacle, soon to be 32yr old who's footballing confidence is at an all time low?

1 week in the WAFL doesn't fix that, let alone a WAFL practice game against an understrength team.

Just like last week, after they dropped him then named him anyway, it's a very bizarre thing for the MC to be doing.

And he didn't;t really set the world alight either. 29 disposals and one goal in a WAFL practice match isn't knocking the door down IMO.

Bro, do you even Bigfooty?
