Game Day Round 17, 2024: West Coast vs Melbourne

[Lynch's Glove]

Harley Reid’s conduct, in a word…has been pathetic.

Does this kid want the ball anymore, or is he only interested in mouthing off at the big names?

Some will say ‘I like the way he goes about it. It shows he’s got heart’.

Reid is looking soft, angry and totally distracted.

The sad things is Melbourne youngest are showning something unlike ours

Would of been a great game to give Harvey some minutes

JWalliams should be playing instead of Darling

Dewer or Culley in for Hutch

The players don't like or want to play for Simmo

Simple!

Is this thing about the players not happy with Simmo actually a thing Phil?

 

[Seadog]

Can we stop talking about the umpires. More people annoyed at the umpires then Simpson in this thread is absurd

massive whinger tells people to stop whinging. Hilarious

 

[Smotie2]

This will be it for Simmo you'd think.

I'm telling you he has some sort of Jedi mind trick over the club.

He's a slippery character and everyone else including the cleaner will get the chop before him.

 

[Ishmael_]

The players are playing like it's a matter of not it but when with Simpson. Total uncertainty, stuck in no man's land. No consistency player to player because everybody is waiting for a change in management.

It's untenable, they just need to sack him now. We're way beyond arguments for and against, it doesn't even matter at this point. There just needs to be a change.

Nearly like he is a 19 year old expected to be our best mid with absolutely zero support around him.

 

[mitchzz]

Can't get over that non-paid unrealistic attempt from Melksham

Anyway... we suck

I've liked Hutchinson's tackling. That's about it

 

[Bacchus]

This rubbish has got to stop.

Get Langer out of the way

Do you actually blame him in the shit show of a club?

It's putrid from the top down and probably something he wasn't expecting

Not even the player protect him from getting hammered.

Imagine having to come back for the second half. Simmo rushing down to the bench is getting irritating as hell. Like if you are going to rush mate it should be for a taxi back to the hotel.

This guarding defensive space gameplan which looks to supporters as just chasing tails is getting ripped apart more often than not

 

[Dylan82]

Jeez Reid looks out of sorts.

Can’t pick up the football

Copping physical attention everywhere he goes.

Can't ever remember a 19 year old being singled-out so much week-in week-out as Reid currently is by opponents.

Yet despite all the scragging and holding and beating up that he his receiving, once again not a single free kick has been paid against it.


The double standard that currently exists for Reid compared to what is continuously paid elsewhere to the likes of N.Daicos and M.Rowell needs to be called out.

 

[Ghossein]

imagine blaming a 19 year old for being immature in a team full of spuds coached by a spud

The support that existed earlier in the season is non existent right now. Time for a boost. Where’s my Gaffy. Where’s my Dom. Bring them both in

 

[Seadog]

This will be it for Simmo you'd think.

I just fired off an email to the club for the first time ever. Politely told them I won't be attending any more games or renewing my membership unless something changes. Hopefully a few thousand others do likewise. I haven't been a Simmo basher but enough is enough.

Guaranteee shot on goal as soon as we turn the ball over in the forwardline

So demoralising

That isn't whinging. It's deflecting blame

 

[the harry]

Go full line in the sand. Duggan could do worse than getting a few weeks while standing up for the kids.

 

[Lynch's Glove]

Yes he’s young.

But has no one at the club taken him aside in the last month to say ‘Listen champ, you’re a fantastic footballer, but you need to STFU and focus on the footy, instead of inciting incidents with every big name you pass on the field?’

There’s zero doubt that the exchange with Gawn on the half time siren ended with the big man telling young Harley to grow the f*** up and show a little respect.

Reid is embarrassing himself.

That might be the firstarter for Q3

 

[Magnum27]

Yeah probably a factor. Nothing wrong with admitting it’s a **** up it doesn’t really matter.

I would hate to be a backman in this team, they get the ball and there is zero movement. It must soul destroying for them to constantly cut off ball coming in , and then to have no one presenting for them.

Spot on.
Best post of the day.

It’s ok guys the other great white hope Hewett is back next fortnight. Then it will be a 19 year old and 2 20 year old’s expected to lead the midfield. Not entirely sure if changing the coach changes our bleak circumstances.

Definitely not going next week to the 100 point demolition by Brisbane

Not wrong there at all. 90% of our issues would be fixed by having a competent midfield.
