Game Day Round 12, 2024: West Coast vs St Kilda

[Yeahnahmate]

Ha, Saints will never be anywhere. What a negative, battling club. Just glad that’s over so I don’t have to watch them anymore. Ross Lyon is a blight on the game, such disgusting footy he dishes up, blahhhhh

 

[Mulldogg]

I bagged Nick Daicos for it last night so it’s only fair that I call Reid out on it too. Needs to stop playing for high frees and back chatting the umpires when a decision doesn’t go his way.

They’re too good a players to be doing that nonsense

 

[Matera92]

Got what we deserved.

Lost this at selection committee, brought in talls and slow plodders on a slippery day where we knew the ground was going to be trash.

Black mark in the Simmo column for me, smacks of the last few years of selection policy.

 

[matthew_s]

He is ****ing woeful.

campaigner does not know what a spear tackle is

 

[WCEswift]

I knew as soon as Reid didn't get that high tackle iin the first quarter they were going to give him nothing and nitpick against him

 

[KERRPOW]

Why?

We were in a winning position and couldnt lift in the 4th.

Did you watch the third quarter? We got dominated.

 

[Smotie2]

He’s a frustrating player in general. Trade bait.

I reckon Jack Williams has more upside

 

[UseR2006]

Lost at the selection table and the coaches box.
Also lost when we didn't move Reid forward to break the tag.
Yeo had a mare of a game.

 

[Get_The_Gaff]

Saints tougher around the contest, structured up defensively much better than we did.
We also lacked leg speed to gather to loose balls .

All a learning curve.

Harley will learn he can't always have it on his terms and needs to keep his discipline when he has his blood up

 

[KERRPOW]

We did but we were up on the scoreboard

He does get taken high most tackles though.
People getting frustrated by how many frees he gets but it looks to me like it's a deliberate tactic.

Nah he needs to fight the tag and learn. Rather then hide him in fwd.

 

[Crimson King]

Meh, more proof we need more elite mids. Top 3 pick will do.

 

[wce4premiership]

Maric.
Petruccelle.


Forgot they were playing.

 

[RookiePick]

Really poor 4th quarter.

Reid can expect to be tagged heavily from now on. Hard to break the tag when your spud team mates can't win a clearance without you.

Nah he’s doing the Selwood/Shuey lowering at the knees.

 

[Yeahnahmate]

Schoey calling that a ‘Masterclass’ by St.Kilda. What the hell did I just watch? They lose that game every single time versus any top 8 side. Putrid club!

 

[FKASC]

Maric.
Petruccelle.


Forgot they were playing.

Petch 100% should have played WAFL. Dewar should have played small forward.

To be fair who could come in? Trew is just not good enough for AFL no matter what he does in WAFL. Why he is still on the list is extremely poor list management. Sheed and Gaff are only in because there's nobody better in the WAFL

 

[UseR2006]

It's not hiding him, he has genuine fwd craft and aerial ability. If they want to tag him we should move him forward have him kick a couple. It would break that tag quicker than having him get frustrated.

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

Putrid

The pro St Kilda commentary from him and King sure was something

I agree, but the umpires are cooked.

The ball where he was leaning back to grab an aerial ball and got done high, should have been a free to him.

The free against him in the last was a joke.

As was the HTB where he got hit high with no prior.

I don't think I've ever been less impressed with the quality of umpiring as I have been in 2024.

I don't like the arm raise attempts but I didn't think he really went for that in this game.

 

[Wosh]

More gutted than I should be tbh.
