Rd 15 vs West Coast @SCG - Match Thread

[707]

Was good to be excited the whole game as we closed on 30 goals and then 200 points.

West Coast weren't even witches hats, about Melbourne 2011 standard.

From a drafting point of view, I was getting used to having pick 4 :-(

Sheldrick had more TOG today and more CBA for 30 possies. Gulden is one of the smartest players I've seen

Just need to back this up by standing up to and beating Geelong next week.

Given our great rivalry in the mid 2000's I feel for Eagles team and supporters.

I wonder if Harley Reid's management, are now trying to put the wheels in motion for West Coast to trade away their inevitable number one pick?

Not much to take out of that game aside from the feel good factor, the %, and hopefully a big confidence boost for the lads heading in to the back end of the season

Commendable that they played it out to the very last minute

Means naught if we lose to Geelong next week

The Cats will be a different proposition but this should and will give the lads a boost and hopefully we’ll play a full game and sock it to them????

I really don’t know what to say about that as they were beyond uncompetitive. They were lifeless. I am sure others could pick other plays but that one in the second quarter on a wing where Campbell faced two v one and was actually at a disadvantage and their blokes just stood still while he scooted in, scooped it up and darted away to deliver Heeney a hanger summed it up. Pathetic.

Probably the most pleasing but was the vast majority of our best players were our 23s and under. It was a nice reminder of the talent we have on our list. Gulden is a freak, Warner was excellent, Sheldrick a bit scrubby but boy he knows how to find it, Campbell’s first half excellent and McDonald superb. And good on Rowie and Parker for setting the standard at the contest.

What it did bring out is that we can deliver the ball. I think Joel could have had 7 or 8. He dropped 5 marks. He was great but he needs to hold them.

Logan was sensational. He made every moment work for him. He only got stuffed up because of somebody getting in his way.

Who got the best on ground trophy? The telecast left and went to the Fremantle game before the presentation.

Yes … but I reckon I would have been a chance to both deliver the ball and kick a goal today.

And having said that, I hope we all appreciate what a special talent we have in Logan. Thanks Paps.

According to Bloodfever it was

It was me. I did say I’d rather fear the worst and be pleasantly surprised. I’ll take 200 points

Not the equal biggest-ever win?

[Merdo5555]

Great that the team kept going.

Lets see the same commitment and effort next week, no room for Buddy either!

Gee Horse is a class act. First words out of his mouth at the presser were to say he’d touched base with Simmo after the match and expressed some sympathy for the situation WC are in, injuries and form wise.

Yup, class.
Character.

We are 5th on the ladder for points scored, 7th on %.

To me it's seemed like westcoast fielded a pretty good list on paper.
