Wallis has had an influence since coming on.

Howard has almost been as good as a witches hat out there today.

Our injuries have tested depth we simply don't have. Howard like Vez last week, showing us what we already knew.

I have like Addison's game.

Have to ask why he was a sub, don't understand that at all.

staggered we are winning the stats (inside 50s, clearances) yet still getting smashed.

Why do we always allow the eagle forwards to kick a bag?

Re: Game Day - R6 West Coast v Western Bulldogs

Really just don't have a decent option in the 2nd ruck role IMO. A case of the least worst pick. Perhaps Marko vs Roos? At least he has a big body/'competes'. Thing is, the Roos 2nd ruck/forward is Daw who moves slightly better than our boy Lukas.

I would be interested to see how Campbell went today for Willy. At least he is a ruckman.

Yep. No doubt Howard deserved the call up, based on who was available, but I guess disappointingly hasn't been up to it, and is looming as another failed pick.
It's an indictment also on Jarrad Grant that in spite of our injuries and our need for some skill in the forward line, that he can't get a game right now.

We haven't had to many marks Inside 50 though.

Re: Game Day - R6 West Coast v Western Bulldogs

I've been pleased with Jones' game today. He started awfully and normally he seems to drop his head/struggle to have an impact when he doesn't start well. He has put together a decent performance.

But, not suited at all for the unique second ruck role. No repeat efforts up forward, poor fitness base and as shown against the Tigers, offers us little when not in the ruck.

Will vs Nat is like watching one of the transformers movies.

Clay I would have in my team every weak despite his weaknesses.

Wallis has been a beast since coming on, good player management.

Has at least shown a sure set of hands, and a willingness to work up the ground, and provide some movement in what has otherwise been a static forward line.

Jones has been very good again and really our only reasonable forward on the day.
