It’s not the defenders fault we only had 4 f50 entries in the 2nd quarter. That’s a midfield issue. As BP said, we played the reigning premier with a damn strong midfield. It’s no surprise.
Their wayward kicking can be attributed to the efforts of our defenders who forced them wider from goal. Do you realise that West Coast only kicked 2.1 from the centre corridor of the F50? So the rest - 12.21 was from tighter angles. That’s an impressive effort considering the dominance in the centre.
One thing no-one recognises is that we are actually seeing the benefits of Ben Rutten. Our defence is creeping up to being one of the best in the comp. All within one year of his appointment!
So while some of you are curling up in the foetal position screaming “sack Woosha” or “you’re all delusional”, there are some of us who are looking at the development and improvements of the team.

Of course it has nothing to do with the fact that they have beaten other top 8 sides in GWS, Collingwood, Freo and AdelaideRover99 wrote: ↑Sun Jun 23, 2019 11:31 amThe reigning Premiers as you call them are only fourth on the ladder now because teams like us put them there.

Sorry to be perplexed by your analysis, but how on earth you can conclude they are only there because of “teams like us” is beyond me.
Nothing changes the fact that they are the reigning premier and that they are in a position to go back to back.
“Teams like us”. Yes, I guess anyone outside the 8 (and there are 10 of them) will be classed as “teams like us”.

Yep, dead right, the rsols almost go out their way to make sure certain teams (normally the home side, or any-body playing us, or so it seemss'dreams wrote: ↑Fri Jun 21, 2019 7:00 pmPfft... 10 frees in the last 15 minutes that somehow evened the frees ledger?
All it did was confuse our players even more about the rules (and why they didn't seem to apply the other 90 minutes). Now all they will think is that they need to get a few frees rather than work hard, be first to the ball and use it well.
Those frees (and the 4 goals) flattered our scoreline even more that the Wegals poor kicking

Re: West Coast v Essendon
Cats at the cattery is no embarrassment. Port beating them in Perth was interesting. They applied a tactic that brought them undone - chaos balls into the F50 where their rebounding intercepting defenders couldn't take the ball away.Rover99 wrote: ↑Sun Jun 23, 2019 10:53 pmLions Swans Cats and Power kicked their ass pretty easilyWindy Hille wrote: ↑Sun Jun 23, 2019 2:38 pmOf course it has nothing to do with the fact that they have beaten other top 8 sides in GWS, Collingwood, Freo and AdelaideRover99 wrote: ↑Sun Jun 23, 2019 11:31 amThe reigning Premiers as you call them are only fourth on the ladder now because teams like us put them there.
