Good first quarter. 

Vineys been our most consistent player across that first half. I've liked Bowey's work as well

Not liking our forward 50 entries.

This game

Serious question . . . how is TMac a better option than Weed ATM? I know they are both flawed, but surely Weed is less so. 

That wasn't  a great 2nd quarter. Great teams put there foot down and just keep burying there opponent. 

Trac in some games has gone the miracle goal instead of looking for a better option and Jordan Lewis also picked that up. I also thought he'd nail that set shot. 

But hope we play one of our great 3rd quarters that we have done in previous weeks. 

Petraccas goal kicking for 2022 - 8 goals, 14 points (not counting complete misses).

2021 - 29 goals, 19 behinds.

Tracs a superstar, but needs to tidy up his set shot routine if he’s to hit the highs of last year and hold the mantle of best player in the game.

Fairly standard Demon stuff. They have a quarter off and it’s usually the second but will come out breathing fire in the third

This has to be the worst surface in the AFL, worse than Marvel.

Which is crazy considering it has 1 game a week and full sun

When he leans back on the ball strike, he always hooks it. Needs to keep his body weight going forward behind the leg, a la Ben Brown. It’s very predictable, sadly. 

TMacs kicking has really gone off.

Pathetic 2nd quarter. Absolutely pathetic. This is a great opportunity to have our percentage sorted for the year but no, 1 goal for the quarter. Not good enough. This is what happens when you play in 2nd and 3rd gear all season, you don't know how to play 4 quarters and play offensive football. Not impressed. 

P.S get petracca out of the forward line. If he isn't the worst set shot for goal in the AFL then I don't know who is.

Commentators apparently not interested in the obvious feature of this game, being that West Coast haven’t hit double figures. They really are woeful, and sorry Jordie, you are hardly any better. Umpires apparently also not interested when Eagles get tackled and dispossessed. Margin’s going to blow out big time this quarter though I feel.

I wonder what you were like when we were actually rubbish

Good first quarter. 

Underwhelming second quarter. 

Kept them to 1 goal and that was in the first minutes. I'd be happy to see that continue this quarter.

Shouldn’t you be flying north for winter?

We got the results our list at the times deserved. Our team today vs a WCE team that is probably equivalent to a VFL seconds teams shouldn't restrict us to 1 goal in a quarter. should be 6-8 goals every quarter.

So you thought the 2nd quarter wasn't pathetic?

Wow wee . . . just woooow weeeeeeeeee............................

Who would have thought that after the disaster of 2018 we would be back in the West in 2022 and be dissatisfied with a 7 goal lead at half time and keeping Meth Coke to 1 goal.

If the surface wasn’t an ice rink we’d be much further in front.

This game reminds me of the time Muhammad Ali beat a very inferior opponent (can’t remember who) on points. When asked why he didn’t knock him out, his response was “I don’t want to risk my life every fight”, or something very similar.

Players are not risking lives (or injury) here.

We're not playing WCE. We're playing a VFL reserves team.
