Game Day Round 22, 2024: West Coast vs North Melbourne

[new breed]

Experienced players struggling , backline under siege need Edwards or Barrass included in the side .

 

[ReidBetweenTheLines]

We need to find a ruck. We can’t expect to be competitive with a young midfield with our rucks just being absolutely useless

We’ve been so blessed with Gardiner, Cox, Nicnat, Lycett. Watching Williams trundle around like the big dump truck that he is really makes you realise how lucky we’ve been for 20 years in the ruck department

 

[HoneyBadger35]

I’d like to get rid of a bloke on the downward spiral now and see what we can get rather than hold him and get rid of him for nothing when Tasmania comes in.. it’s logical actually

100% but not when the price is so much lower than what we get for just playing him. He’s having a shocker today, but he’s by far our best small/medium forward and we have absolutely nothing behind him in the role.

We need to find a midfield. Bailey has been competing.

People say this about him every week. But his competing is still getting trounced. His direct opponent is one of the leading disposals on the ground.

 

[CountryLad]

Reid gets such a rough go from the umps. Needs to shut his trap to them and over time it may turn his way a little.

 

[Shueygod]

Why have we not just run through Mckercher, wait til he goes for that one two and smash him.

 

[Wooshaaaa]

Anyone recons Yeo is going to be able to go more than 15 games a year as 'top flight midfielder Yeo' is kidding themselves. We need mids in this draft to compliment Harley long term.

That sums up these soft *****, two waited for the ball and Nth player attacked it creating a bounce.

Nobody can question his effort, and I don’t think anyone is.

But he’s flatly not an AFL standard ruck.

He can be replaced by literally anyone when he is getting none of the ball and giving no defensive pressure as he has done most of the season.

Hewett better be a gun

 

[amazingjoshy]

Nothing good as come from Oscar getting the ball today

Just put him down back

 

[Rivoroo17]

Yeos had a terrible game, just bangs it long hoping it goes well. Turning into gaff, needs to look for another option. Hope they don't sub out hall for gaff, the other midfielders should be on the chopping block.

 

[amazingjoshy]

Gaff to the rescue

 

[Yeahnahmate]

2 goals and we are back in the game

Unfortunately looks like we will need another 120mins to kick those

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Maric coming along nicely. Still only 19.

 

[amazingjoshy]

Who's been subbed off?

 

[CountryLad]

Watch them sub off Hall, Whopper or Dewar and leave Ryan and Cripps on.

 

[Westend]

nice kick Jake

comeback is on

 

[Manbearpig77]

There’s just so little to be enthusiastic about with this side.

After 3 years of being terrible.

It’s just do depressing.

 

[ConcreteWaters]

Definitely lifted the last few minutes, but the gap between effort this week and last is crazy

 

[Yeahnahmate]

Watch them sub off Hall, Whopper or Dewar and leave Ryan and Cripps on.

Hall been terrible

Nah.

Hough, Ginbey off HB, Reid in the guts, Jake Waterman + Jack Williams + Oscar Allen. It’ll take time but another draft into this there’s plenty to look forward to.

 

[Happy Mastenator]

Looking forward to running over the top of north here and either winning or ensuring our % is good enough we finish above them this year. Not like we need the best possible picks

 

[TOA.]

Maric's kicking is flat and quick.

Him and Harley are about the only two and it stands out. Its like Duggan, Hunt, Cripps etc try and kick it as high as possible.
