Yeah, I don't disagree with that mate.  There were times where Oscar was easily done in that one on one situation and we still make some mistakes that hurt.  I like where we are heading, but it can be a tough pill to swallow sometimes.

37 inside 50s for 10 goals 6.

That's nearly a scoring shot every second inside 50.

We played better football all day.

The missed shots were the issue as the score shows.

The umpiring in that last quarter needs a review by the AFL.

The meth coast just raise their arms when they want a free.we never do.

I am trying to be philosophical about this one but I don't think we could have played much better.

The one against Gawn, the deliberate, the 70 metre 50.the high one against Jones were not there to pay- they were crowd kicks.

I just hope that when we become dominant we never forget the sort of extra crap we had to do to get there.i want us to crush this scum next time.

Take your mine pit and form your own parochial shyte nation you rednecked backwards inbred westralian pigs.

Our backline was good, our forwards failed to get the job done.

Yeah but he always costs match turning goals! Pathetic!

You are more pathetic. Sick of your garbage. He saved countless inside 50 thrusts. But you never see them

WC scored every second inside 50. Backline were beaten badly today.

No doubt there was an issue there, but how often does West Coast get restricted to 37 inside 50s at home? (I have no idea, just pondering out loud).

We need to improve on opposition conversion once inside but the first step is to limit how many times they go inside in the first place and in that regard, the whole team did a good/great job.

How the hell did we manage to lose that!!!

Beyond belief. Losing with so many inside fifties, only Melbourne.

TMac's howlers. Wagner has one every game, Inaccurate kicking for goal. You can blame the umpires but we lost it. 

I thought Brayshaw had a terrible game as well. Vince playing on and slipping over in the dying minutes when we still had time to win it. My biggest problem this season is I have hope. I really hope we can win one of these soon.

 

However there was some great football. The effort was immense. It's how we need to play every week with swarming and tackling. Watts's smother in the last quarter was super courageous. 

We have the makings of a finals playing team. If T Mac thinks he is worth a bundle of money he should be made to watch his howlers this game with his eyes taped open for a day.

Hogan, well sign up now, your best is great but not a game winner yet. Forgot you were play at times. 

Just so dissapointed. Time to repay the loyal supporters 2017.

0 goal final term in a close game is not a terrific effort

Did you actually see it?

For all of their wonderful pressure, you could still argue that the mids probably didn't use the ball as well as they could have during the game.  Doesn't excuse the forwards but I think it was a combination of both.

Yeah the pressure around the game was very good for the most part, the problem is how easily we were beaten once the ball came into their 50.

BBO I agree, it's a shitsandwich and we can put a bit of mayo on it but it's still a shitsandwich. Give me a few hours and I'll find some positives.

Our forward line/midfield doesn't know how to handle the opposition's spare defender. They had 7 men back there the whole last half and every kick we did was to an out numbered contest. Need to be smarter with our ball use going in. Hogan may have had a down day but I can't recall too many one-on-ones where he had a genuine chance.

Your straw man response is about as ridiculous as your first post. No surprise, you're one of those "supporters" who only remembers the mistakes, and who only sees players in terms of either all black or all white.

if you cannot kick the football accurately you shouldn't be playing AFL football, our backline is our greatest weakness, the defensive pressure from the mids and forwards was out standing, all the good work out back 6 did was let down by disposals.  It's the same guys every week, you can sugar coat it and paint me with any brush you want, you need good kickers in the back line, we have some of our worst kicks there.  Don't get defense Bing, we're all passionate supporters here.

Did everything but kick straight.  West Coast were deplorable but they knew where their goals were.

Everything else went against us but geez when are the footy gods gonna stop acting like vicious...

Hogan is massively overrated. Not worth the millions people are taking about. 

I don't think he's overated as such. He's just not 100℅ committed. When you aren't days like today show that up. Watts had a classic post contact announcement game ( wtf is it with that )

Disappointing, frustrating, angry....that doesn't come close to covering my feelings. We have made progress no doubt, but Goodwin's got to find a way to convert these good efforts but frustrating losses into wins.

Agree, maggots robbed us. So many frees in the last 1/4. 

 

Fox commentators mentioned how it was unusual for WC to be losing the free kick count (10-16 at 3/4time) at Subiaco.

Fourth quarter. 12 - 3 free kicks to WC

Didn't notice either team change the way they played yet that is a huge swing.

WHY DO WE FUCKEN SLIP OVER SO MUCH?

 

no other teams slip over as much as we do ffs.

Happens when wearing skis and not stops :rolleyes:

Jeez glad I didn't watch it, there'd be a few holes in the wall.

With that naive perspective, If you told me this morning we would play some good footy in crappy conditions and nearly win, I wouldn't spew up. 

Yes, frustrating, but clearly on the right path. We're all longing for the next step to be taken and it'll be soon. 

Set sights on ripping the Suns a new one next week...

Don't give me any positive [censored].   Once again we proved what a spiritless [censored] up club we've become.

 

I am extremely disappointed that we didn't win, we bloody well should have, but there is no way that today's performance proved we are a spiritless club.

Short on skills - definitely, but not short on spirit today.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
