Game Day Round 4, 2023 : West Coast Eagles v Melbourne Demons

[THE A5]

Gaff has a career pb with 8 tackles. Has had 7 twice

 

[BrotherDodge]

Doesn't even look like Williams tries to mark it. Ball just straight up bounces off his forearms.

He needs to watch the ball imo, instead of just throwing his hands above his head and hoping for the best.

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

Pretty tough gig for Hough to play in defense vs Melbourne.
He ought to be playing on the wing.

 

[Keys]

Effort dropped away a fraction but skills stayed the same/got worse and we were punished on turnover

Missing 2 or 3 sodas at goal also hurt, especially early that quarter when we had field position

Hoping they keep their heads up and fight this one out

 

[Wosh]

I don’t care if we lose, just don’t want to fade away, especially the experienced players who should fight this out to the death. Lead by example.

Ignore the kids they need time but out bottom 6-8 are WAFL at best

Yeah, can we not lose by 80+ points, please? That's all I ask

 

[TassieEagle]

If only we'd be a bottom 4 club for a few years to pick up said players with skills

Well trading away two years of those picks for a player who wasn't worth it didn't help us.

Plus we used to have the people with skills still in the side. Players like Gaff, Darling, Hurn used to be players with reliable skills and have fallen off a cliff.

But don't worry, you'll get your wish, we'll be a bottom four club for the next couple of years.

Win the last quarter Eagles ...

 

[Eaglemaniac]

As expected with Clark LEdwards Ginbey and West in there.

They’re not in there, they’re mostly on the flanks and wings. Ginbey has been in there but the others aren’t even being given a chance.

 

[The wily weagle]

Yeo has been subbed off??

 

[WCErevival]

Yeo injured? Says he has been sub injured

 

[DieSwans]

Cole is actually so bad this season

 

[Biggie]

Yeo off injured or precautionary?

 

[Quinz]

I wonder if picking Yeo for his first game back from injury in 8000 days and not picking an actual key defender was a smart move or not. Impossible to have seen it coming.

 

[new breed]

Tackling our new game plan ...been intense .

 

[Biggie]

Pav says managed so I expect his hammy to be off the bone

 

[eaglespremiers]

Poor decision Duggan

Geez ....numb skull Gaff

Yeo fine. NOT injured

Managed

 

[Free Agent]

Number 1 draft pick

Imagine Gibney and Reid combo

 

[RookiePick]

Oliver with a throw. All good

 

[Cornelius Roy]

Oliver going to handball once today or just throw every time he gets the ball?

Simmo said before the game he'd be on managed minutes.

Imagine if we had a lower tier competition he could have played in to gain some fitness and form before being selected? Na that’s crazy talk.
