Re: WB Game Day V Fremantle R12 2021
I thought Keath was excellent. Cordy and Gardner were reasonable as Lobbe is a pretty hard match up being very tall and mobile and he was generally kept under wraps. I thought Duryea was our best defender along with Keath and Dale. I really like Dale's dash and kicking.

I'm not sold on it but I think it's worth persisting with.
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

I reckon he’s really close actually. Just not quite strong enough to stick/break the tackles he needs to. I like him a lot and I hope we persevere. An almost night in a lot of ways for him.

Those 16 other players would be the cream of the crop, too.

He slices everything. If he wants to persist with that action it has to be inside right goal post.

In golfing parlance it would be that he blocks it. Doesn't curve inside to out off the boot, rather, just seems to go directly to 11 o'clock each time he kicks it.

For all the criticism our defensive group receives (and I'm as guilty as anyone), we once again had the lowest score against for the round.

I actually thought our aerial defence was superb which normally isn’t the case. It was at ground level we were a bit off.

Taberner was a big out and meant we could easily double team Lobbe and keep him under control. Treacy still ended up with 3, however.
It's a work in progress but I don't mind the 3 tall set up in defence with Dale, Williams, Crozier and Daniel as ground support. We've got 12 weeks to get it right because the D50 will have a big say in how deep we go in finals.

It's the game day thread!
Did you go to the game, if so, what did you think whilst there?
