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

[Seadog]

Hough has had a birds eye view of a game of footy.

 

[the harry]

Hurns man?

 

[Priddis Is Done]

It's the reality... And we are content, or a I dare say happy, with it.

Hurn yes. Gaff and Darling are 30, were 28 a couple of years ago when it started, players generally are just past their peak at that age. Cole, Duggan, Kelly since coming from Geelong, even Barrass from week to week.

Let me ask, who was on our list in 2020 and is better in 2023? The list of names of players who have declined should be balanced by players who have improved and we are very scarce on those.

Improvement in players are not linear and certainly not when rebuilding. When rebuilding the sum of the parts is much less than the whole.

 

[KERRPOW]

Now the pressure is off...darling will kick it

 

[Westend]

Oliver, 31 disposals, 14 kicks, 17 throws.

yup spot on

 

[Shuestar13]

Legs are gone. Ah well boys.

First half showed plenty. Second half got shown up by a great side.

Sydney and Dogs lost by 50 to this team too, they’re just really ******* good at footy folks.

Stop with the rationality and common sense.

 

[UseR2006]

Work rate to make space and options is something we have been terrible at.
Every time Melbourne get the ball, EVERYONE moves. yet when we get the ball everyone is stationary.
It's frustrating.

 

[THE A5]

Darlings had a mare

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

Great work JD!
Caps off a great day.

 

[the harry]

Now the pressure is off...darling will kick it

He'll show you

 

[Eaglemaniac]

**** me what is wrong with Darling today?

Yeah our problems started 2 if not 3 years ago when we should have been mixing in some youth and making everyone earn their place and dropping experience if they're not performing, but too many credits and now we're in for three years of this

 

[Shuestar13]

No good Jack. Needs a better game next week.

 

[eaglesfan84]

* me what is wrong with Darling today?

It's been all season so far

 

[eagles rule]

Darling shocking today

 

[Priddis Is Done]

Happy to give Priddis a few more games.

Stop stealing my name FFS

 

[KERRPOW]

**** off

Well the whole is absolute trash so those parts are even worse by your maths.

 

[Dale Doback]

Greg Clark is in the top 10 of the list of the most irrelevant Eagles players ever. His only good attribute is that he's tall for a mid. Damien Adkins

was far better than him.

 

[Eagle Wrath]

I feel sorry for our young mids like Ginbey, Culley, Hewett. Experienced players around them are garbage and no help at all for their development.

 

[Avalor]

JD is right off with his kicking. Missed 2 sodas today.

 

[Shuestar13]

This has been an appallingly umpired match.

 

[Cornelius Roy]

lol neal bullen just throws it in the vicinity of his feet play on!

 

[eagles rule]

that ump is shit

 

[Eaglemaniac]

Bullen throws it no free. Hough gets no prior opportunity- free to Melbourne.
