Game Day Round 3, 2025: West Coast vs Fremantle - The Owen Derby

[Yeahnahmate]

Harley on Insta this morning. Might be a bit fired up for Derby hopefully

How much did our betting odds improve when Petch announced out?

Did nothing wrong as sub last week, played well all preseason and backed it up yesterday.

Still cops it.

You go? Because one poster who was there saying he didn’t do much on the spread doesn’t maketh a source of truth



Pure inference



So for Long it’s after three bad games, when we have an abundance of smalls - as opposed to after one decent game from Clay when we have no existing great options to get us first use? (Also can’t wait for Grossy though - something we can agree on btw!)



You’ve mentioned extra possessions and fantasy points a few times as sone of your lead indicators, and your reasoning is in line with that. As I said I was at the Suns game and no one could lay a paw on it in tight, thus we got burnt equally on the outside. Graham was definitely our best, but it was a real ‘tryer’ performance to be honest. Did very little to get us any first use. Ran hard and spreads to get uncontested ball for OK disposal at an average pace. Effort, sure. Impact on the result, hmm.

Mini prior to Rd2 stated ‘we need to get better at the contest, it starts there’. And he was right. Not one player got near it in the Suns game. Hall comes in as a young player in a developing side and has the strongest contested game of any of our players across the first two rounds - and Mini drops him.

We are not going to agree, but it doesn’t sit well. Both in could for sure have worked, despite your arguments about team balance.

Look, agree to disagree - but you’re also wrong!

Man f u
How about going to the game
And have a opinion keyboard warrior
Instead if having a go at us posters

Papalia on 6PR this morning was saying Oscar got heatstroke from the game last weekend. Firstly that may explain his somewhat lacklustre second half (along with being a lone tall in our forward line), and secondly yet another example of why the AFL have no idea when it comes to fixturing outside of Victoria.

Tbh worksafe should be getting involved.

Cant have players getting heatstroke. Its a silent killer

 

[KERRPOW]

See his WAFL game today. Great at clearances, offered not much outside that.

We have a 2014 brownlow medalist whos one wood was this.

And there was daylight between his one and two woods.

He also spent many years in the WAFL before getting drafted.

Won't be watching this live as I have a match on at the same time.

Will be giving sympathetic fingers to the away crowd in support of H.Reid.

 

[jdisc]

me rocking up 8 mins into the first, flipping the bird, and leaving at the 10 min mark

Yep halls a couple of years away.

Also Petch is only really got pace...has zero footy IQ and cant football.
Easy to get joe the goose goals when you have pace.

He's leaked out 8 years at the top so surely we havent tossed hall aside who has actual footy traits.

 

[Woutizmoo]

Get Up!!! Its Game Day!!!

Not only am I going to flip the bird I'm also going to throw a steel chair onto the oval for Harley to use on the ump.

Doomsday scenario for Cockburn fans is Harley finds form and absolutely rolls them on the way to an eagles win, like he did last year.

Wouldn't hear the end of it. Reckon JL would also get sacked.

"No! not like that Harley"

A lot of my Freo mates think their doomsday scenario is winning and Longy keeping his job.

I reckon you get some of those odd efforts near the end of a coach's tenure; they don't go out to lose per se, but the motivation isn't exactly there. We're not without a decent chance today.

Im just not getting my hopes up.

Went into round 1 thinking we were a chance...bitterly dissapointed.

GC's midfield bullied us physically. Freo's won't be able to do that.

 

[DorothyG]

Wait, so IF we win, J.Long. is out? That's the purples vibe?

Have we ever been the giver of a coach killing game?
