Three Things I've Learned - Round 6 Edition

[westdog54]

Once the game against the Eagles is completed post up three things you've learned as a result of watching the game.

They can be against the Eagles if you so desire.

1. Matthew Boyd couldn't hit the side of a barn from a foot. We will be a better side when he is done.

2. Liam Jones desperately needs help.

3. Clay Smith can be effective up forward.

Agree with all three.

1. We have almost no creative ball users in our team.

2. We need to cull the list heavily again this year- Austin and Howard are near the top.

3. WCE are front runners, I rated them relatively highly going into this year but they are decidedly average.

I think we've found one in McCrae who will provide plenty in his area in the future. Still young and lacking core strength so he lacks penetration by foot, but he is a very smooth mover even in traffic. Dare I say it, the Pendlebury comparisons are very accurate with him

I think he will be but at the moment he doesn't have the physical strength to do it consistently. Libba and Cooney are, JJ and Dahlhaus can be but are under the pump every time they get the ball because the opposition know the can be dangerous, but shit that leaves a lot of average ball users in one team.

Re: Three Things I've Learned - Round 6 Edition

1. I hate the red jumper ... It's even worse live !!
2. I hate everything about the Wet Toast Weasels ... Their supporters mainly
3. When Liam Jones gets some bulk he is going to be unstoppable

(Did I mention I hate the Eagles)

.

Boyd was pretty good today with his disposals (68%)

I hate to bag the captain, he is the top dog for a reason (not sure what that is, but the powers that be, do). His chase on Lecra was pitiful; embarrassing even !!

Re: Three Things I've Learned - Round 6 Edition

1. love the red jumper
2. 2012 draft will be memorable and with the 2nd and 3rd years players will make the nucleus of a very good football side in time.
3.West Coast still not inform judging by the result
4. I didn't see the game today but nothing has surprised from all the informed reports.
5. Whether Bmac is the right man for the job won't save him as people are impatient and it will ultimately cost him his job.
6. It was good to see him put heat on the senior players after the game and I would prefer him to be more forthright in this area.
7. Sydney will win the premiership just love their midfield atm(continues to be underrated).
8. I'm ranked 9th overall in supercoach

Re: Three Things I've Learned - Round 6 Edition

1. Will Minson is an absolute Lionheart, very brave performance one out against 3 rotating opponents.
2. Jake Stringer has some tricks I didn't know he had.
3. Clay Smith may have found his niche.

But struggle with counting

Re: Three Things I've Learned - Round 6 Edition

It's hard to give an objective summary of the game when you are currently in Paris.

Sorry...self indulgent I know but it beats sitting at home seeing us get pantsed yet again by West Coast. God I hate their supporters.

What were they by foot?
