Sam Mitchell had 38. What's age got to do with it

Not much, other than he's no Sam Mitchell...

Overall the effort was great tonight, but the execution was poor.  There's no denying that.  The Eagles made us pay for it and it won them the game.  I felt as though we matched them around the ground but we exposed our backline which we simply cannot do.  It's not talented enough right now to stand on it's own two feet and our midfield and half forward line need to support it better by eliminating the turnovers.

Lots of positives, though.  Oliver was super and will only get better.  Hunt and Salem are primed for big years, Spencer gave us something, Lewis was a cool head under pressure and Brayshaw is another who is getting better each week.

Lots of our better players were down today as well - Tyson had a mare, Benire turned it over and Maxy didn't exert his usual influence.  When you factor in that, as well as the turnovers, then a 4 goal loss is a fair reflection.

We are a big chance to roll the Saints in a fortnight's time, and if we add a couple of pure small forwards, add Jetta and Hibberd to the mix and make the right selections re: tall forwards then there is no reason why we can't win in Round 1.

Just cause u dont give a [censored] doesn't mean the rest of us don't. 

I didn't realise it needed to be brought up all night.  Check the Trengove thread, I care about his role in the side, I just don't care about his role in this game tonight being analysed with every second post.

we won two quarters & lost two...

Still feels like we are way to easy to score against when we inevitably turn it over. The work around the ball is good though.

The way West Coast have run and scored so easily is the exact way St Kilda tear us up every time, which is the worrying part for round 1.

This.

99% of supporters give a [censored] about Trengove.

And I'm part of that 99%.  I'm talking about this game and his role in it which was brought up ad nauseum every 30 seconds, or are you too slow to work that out?

Pettacca is a real enigma ,all the talent in the world but finds it hard to find the footy at times

Why not? He was taken over so why it let him have a run. 

I can't understand the logic behind it.

We were not that far off, some serious over reaction from some on here. Poor execution into and out of 50 cost us. Oliver fantastic and pretty even over the whole game. Pencil the only one on the fence who consolidated a round 1 spot. How Trengove can't get a crack when Harmes can is beyond me. Our whole backline, Hunt aside, was a disappointment.

Trengove stormed off on his own in the rooms to the right of screens while rest of the team went into the back room. Anyone else see this?

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
