Game Day Round 6 : Port vs West Coast - The Lewis Stevenson Cup

[EagleCanival]

Laughing at the dumb campaigners who were saying we were the worst we've been in years. In the third quarter of this game...

These people must be named and shamed, like right now.

 

[DickDunn]

So good. Love Simmo's passion!

 

[Natho]

Did enjoy watching Lecca in the guts today. Really did make a massive difference. He held us together at times with his poise and a cool head.

 

[Cuzdup]

Love man, I really really love that!

I have had the picture for a while posted it a few other times... it was time lol

 

[Double the Fist]

WOW what a win for your mob, probably the best game under simmo to date. especially with all those outs. the hunger and pressure and absolute will for the win was second to none

Dunno. Saints showed a thirst for the win against the dogs who belted us.

 

[Obeanie1]

I've got a feeling, that this is going to suck reaaaaaaal soon.

Now that's the positive attitude we've all come to know and love from Dark Sharks.

Oh, better check, were you talking about the result or that Priddis was named our best?

I remember when Lyon first got Freo going, they probably didn't have a lot of highly rated players but they were winning a lot. The system was making everyone look good. We're a bit like that now - not the most talent side and very depleted but our system is so tough we all look decent in the end.

Duggans hit on monfries was immense. Serious commitment from a kid

His attack on the ball for a skinny kid in first year is exceptional he's a ripper!!great win!!

 

[Powerstufff]

Well done guys, merciless football.

 

[Smeg Head]

Been out all day for Mother's day but saw 70% of the match. **** yeah, the attack on the football and just the little things coming together.

 

[Waspy79]

Well played Eagles. You should be proud of your team after that effort. Had the kitchen sink thrown at them but stood tall.

It's funny but I never need to buy the Footy Record at games because my knowledge of opposition players is pretty good - today I bought one and I now know who numbers 4, 6, 14, 20 and 22 are in particular!

5 Votes - Butler's many 1%s where he got a hand to the ball with Port streaming to goal

Butler played a very instrumental game. One turnover stands out but the number of disruptions and intercepts he brought about were integral.

Butler is a one dimensional player that is too slow to play on small forwards. He will get turned around too easy by the like of Ballantyne etc.
Goes missing when the game is on the line.

Delist!

Butler is required. There's a reason he was part of the 2006 premiership.
There's a reason why despite all his injury issues and certain one on one issues the coaches
rate him so high and keep utilising him. It's his ability to read play, run the angles and intercept.
Some reckon his soccer background and late commitment to AFL has given him an advantage in this area.
Our defenders are going to need extra assistance in this regard, particularly now. With Waters gone and Ellis
out, he is required.

Hell what do I know?

 

[John the Butcher]

Well done Eages, that was a very close one!

 

[RookiePick]

Sinclair could have been so influential today if he had executed his skills better. Naita should be embarassed that Sinclair is that much smarter that he got all those opportunities to butcher the ball. Naita was invisible man.

I can't believe the brand of footy we played today. Hard ******* at it! Maybe Simpson is getting through to them.

Naitanui had a poor game outside of the ruck taps, but he has had a good season thus far. Plus let's not forget he single handedly dragged us back into the game last time we were playing on that ground, which is something I strongly doubt Sinclair would ever be able to do.

By the way, Sinclair is almost a year older than him.

Remember this three, you will.

When was that?

I'm not saying Sinclair > Naita.

It's just that Naita is frustratingly poor around the ground at present. He is even seemingly unable to put much pressure on defensively.

 

[Jootube]

The Duggan-on-Monfries hit makes me love the kid even more. Seriously great to see that attitude from a newer, small-frame player. Just awesome.

 

[dajesmac]

When was that?

After the game

Spot on. Butler has become the General of the backline and doing it with aplomb.

Smotie does make a lot of ridiculous comments and I don't think too many agreed with this one.
