WAFL performances part 2

[E Shed]

Walters has a beautiful left foot.
There was a feature story on the Jetta Brothers at half time in the WAFL on ABC and whilst it's hard to take too much from a short TV piece they both come over as pretty level headed. It took a fair bit of work for Swans to get them up from the country as they are pretty shy and didn't want to leave their family circle. Sounds as if Lewis, at least has been sounded out by clubs as he was talking about being prepared to move East if he's not picked up by us or the Eagles.
Good work by Swans too, providing them with mentors, a place to live and finding them jobs. Similar to the program Claremont have for the Indigenous kids from the Kimberly.

Pickings are pretty slim eh?

Meanwhile next years draftees are tearing it up......

Zac Clarke 8 tackles - looks like a decent effort on paper, but then Gilmore's stats always seem impressive on paper too. Did anybody actually at the game notice Zac working that hard defensively?

If he did lay 8 hard tackles, that's a great sign for such a young ruckman IMHO. Him and Shep both look like they had promising games...

If we can get Cuckoo Benny Bucoo on the park as well in next year's WAFL seniors, maybe our young KPP prospects aren't quite that dismal...

Plus Sibo as an exciting roughie. Given the acumen of our drafting team based on the way the rest of our rookies have gone this year, he could end up be a star of the comp in three years.

I was at Lathlain and Zac's game was not just good on paper. The tackles were hard earned and he ran hard all day. Also noticed a bit of "mongrel" in Shepheards game. He is a few years off AFL level but has height, skill and a good attitude. Will be worth the wait.

Gees Gilmore can find the thing that is for sure.

Looks like a nice hit out for Roger too.

 

[Stronzo]

shame he goes missing in the big league though.

Couldn't agree more Stronz.
I have been the fan of happy in the past, b4 he knocked his head.... but at AFL level he just isnt the same player.

 

[E Shed]

I don't know it's fair to say Gilmore can't find it at AFL level. More that he's had a bad year and taken time to get up to speed after his injury.
What this year has made apparent with the rise of our youngsters is that it's more important to make smart decisions with it when you get it and have the skills to execute.
We look pretty good when we aren't turning it over all the time.
Sadly I don't think Gilmore will ever be a smart enough player for the top level.

 

[purplepassion82]

Looks like my buddy Roger had a good first game back....

did anyone go to the game? How did he look??

How can you have 37 possessions (Majority kicks) and only 1 inside 50?

 

[Mundy]

Was a scrappy game last night, lots of turnovers.

Gilmore played from a wing, ran loose most of tha match, got a lot of it across half back. Missed alot of targets again, the ball just kept coming back to him.

 

[Rubber Pants]

Watching WP v EP at the moment.

Zac has been involved a lot and done some good things but hasn't done anything great. Solid

Only saw Hamish once but he met the ball strongly and dished off well. He is a lot taller than i thought but is rake thin (much skinnier than Clarke).

Haven't seen much of Campbell except once when he was going for the ball and he over ran it to try and take out an opposition player. Was a *ed thing to do

Sad to see Darling doing so well when he is more than likely going to Gold Coast.

Stats from the start of the second quarter in Swans v Perth.

Walters 2 goals from 6 touches and Pratt 5 touches and 5 tackles

 

[Rubber Pants]

Not many people around so I'll just talk to myself.

Quite a good game going on here.

Sheppard has stepped up and is looking good. His stats aren't going to be great but he's palying forward and for a tall bloke his pick ups below the knees are pretty good.

Clarke has been good and bad in patches, he's done some really good things and some average things (i.e. dropped marks) but he is up against Seaby who despite not getting a run with the Eagles is still a decent ruck man.

Campbell.... well if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all.

Darling looks like he'll be a dominant player in a few years time

 

[hoss]

I reckon Clarke has been really disappointing!

 

[Rubber Pants]

hey! someone else is here

Like I said he's been good and bad. I think he's been solid but definitely not great.

 

[Moo]

Can Wests get up - or is there a breeze?

 

[Rubber Pants]

Anythings possible but EP are in control.

Hamish lining up for goal and hits the post. EP by 12

 

[Latro]

Another poster to Hamish.

 

[Rubber Pants]

Another poster to Hamish.

Good signs from Hamish. He seems to have a bit of confidence and appears to be being used as East perths focal point in attack.

1 goal 4 isn't good but 2 were posters

 

[silverscope]

What's the score?

 

[DOCKERZ]

Back from EP v WP, mini me played lil league.
Shepheard looked good I thought, got a couple of pics, one of a good strong mark i'll put on his player profile.
As others said, Zac hasn't done a lot, but had a great blue with No. 10 early in the 3rd, consistent with the rest of our 09 inductee's.
