Game Day West Coast Eagles vs Richmond Tigers Round 8 2023

Is it bad that I think West is going well?

 

[eaglesnutcase]

Definitely two sets of different holding the ball rules. Duggan has half a second and the Richmond guy has four or five running steps gets tackled and it’s a bounce?? Go figure.
Push in the back ? Make it blatant and no problem; they’ve only got four umpires they won’t see it!

 

[eaglesfan84]

How

Turn it up!

He's useless

 

[ziad]

Most guys went backwards that quarter, so many dropped marks, miskicks, lack of structure. Rotham held his own. Edwards tackled well. Gaff put his body on the line despite being useless with the ball

good summary. Allen ok as well. Trying to run but skills and dumb thinking (or not ata all0 letting us down. Foley looks to be more comfortable.

 

[Goroyals22]

Competitive half of footy

West going okay , BBW good again
Team effort

Whats williams done thats good? Cant mark, pick the ball up and is being spanked by a kid. He is completely inept.

 

[Cornelius Roy]

Carrying our entire midfield for the last 6 weeks not good enough for you.

Where the fwark is sheed? Athroat injury doesnt stop you from keeping fit.

Still thinking if he should give Hunt the handball release.

 

[THE A5]

Bring back bazzo and Edwards. Edwards into defence and Bazzo has played forward as a junior. Just have him up forward or have him play third tall and release rotham forward

 

[the harry]

Can't fault the effort from most. We're just not very good.

You’re a clown mate, another “kid” that’s the same age as Bailey.

Can you actually not grasp how young Bailey is? Do you think he’s 26?

Because you keep referring to his inexperienced opponents as kids and don’t pay him the same respect.

 

[Monocle]

Bombing long when the tigers have 3 talls back

Need to lower the eyes .

Gaff can't even kick over a jam tin these days

Been a systemic problem for four seasons now.

You would have thought and hoped that someone in the coaches box, might have twigged on to that.

 

[Matsu]

Jones and Rotham been decent. It's a pitty our basic skills and decision making are so scuffed.

 

[ThePuma #9]

Any news on Culley guys? I’m freezing cold at the game and need a sliver of hope it’s not an ACL.

On the game itself the umpiring has been pretty bloody bad but Richmond aren’t much better. I get why we are shit but they aren’t that far behind.

 

[CoastersFlag No.5]

Trew has touched it 4 times and is going at 0% efficiency. With him out there we are effectively playing one man down.

 

[Astro7]

Oh my Darling - the glitching rubber chested robot? Yes, he's probably injured and double-tagged and doing lots of defensive work and runs for miles...but he just seems to make stupid decisions all the time, after all these years of experience, he's still klutzy Jack!? There's definitely a disconnect between his brain and his actions - well, it seems that way...probably a really nice guy.
I'd be expecting him to be taking these games by the throat and shaking it like a rag doll,
is that unreasonable?

Hate to inform you ..... but they are saying it looks like an ACL.

Quick of the mark , great asset in footy , West has that and tough at the ball .
Lacks polish , having a good game .

 

[Matsu]

Still thinking if he should give Hunt the handball release.

Our whole team is like that tbh. Too often we make the wrong decision with ball in hand.

 

[Bushhopper]

Our inability to take a mark with two hands clear and no one on us is very bad

Agreed! Seen plenty of dropped marks from Ginbey, Williams and Hurn!

 

[Forward Press]

A strong second quarter from the Tigers to put them up by nine points at the main break. They have had 11 more contested possessions, as well as 12 more inside 50s for the quarter, scoring from 40% of their entries inside 50.

All things considered, we're a bit lucky to be this close but hopefully not a blowout like last week is all we're asking for.

 

[EagleMan87]

After last week how are people mad at this game so far? Effort's there from most, we're just down to 26 fit players FFS.

I knew I could draw the chief apologist out…

Ryan is 22. Williams is 23… he is being schooled by a guy with less than ten games to his name…. Or does that only count when he plays Bryn Teakle?

 

[new breed]

Hope , trust they give him another contract even as a rookie for two years ...

 

[Bushhopper]

My god, the skill level / decision making is awful from WC. Gaff flour bagging kicks to nobody, duggan kicking loose scrubbers out of defence, and one of our best JJ handing off handballs to guys about to get clobbered plus all those dropped marks.
The intent is there but the execution is absolutely awful

 

[Dylan82]

Contested possessions -12, which lead to inside 50s being -12 for that quarter.

Richmond kicked 4.6 - it could easily have been far worse.


Certainly better than last week, but the signs that quarter weren't good.

Midfield needs to dig deep now.

 

[garlic munchers]

Can you still call games like this cripple fights?
