Wells 11

I’m glad you said all of this as that is how this win is being spun by most media I have listened to. ie they lost a game they should have won. ( Im not sure what u meant by their “ lucky after siren goal” though. U mean the one they kicked after the siren in the 1st? ) While I hate to discuss that team with blk and white stripes on this forum I consider how “ lucky” I thought they were in both 2022 and 2023. And in doing so how much I, and many, under rated them. In the end Im happy if the media keeps under rating us too!

Still makes me sad to think about how “almost” he was / is. starred in our first final in over a decade vs Geelong in 2018. kicked 3 and tackled everything. As great as JT is the Weid call over mckay and curnow still burns.

I reckon this was the worst of all of them.

I want to add to this. Clearly he’s “ a winner” but just how good can Windsor be?

Fritsch. Slotted the sealer

so poor wasn’t it. In a tight game.

Yes … and it was also a sling. Rivers needs to learn from that.,

Maybe the best win since 2021. We had to dig so deep… such a satisfying victory. WAnb, Rivers, BBB, track. gawny… all huge. and what the hell do we have here re Windsor?? couid be anything. what a goal

clarry doesn’t look right. hope it’s just his finger. good to see jvr running and jumping now tho… love to see him get into it.

Im frustrated when he misses not when he slots it after the siren in a tight game against a good opponent!

not sure how but we are. kozzie to lift along w jvr and we can pinch it

noticed that too

21 of the last 25 i50’s is a thrashing

hope your right.

feel like we’re 3 or 4 goals behind somehow. Just hanging in there but being outplayed imo.

they look sloppy

I thought the ground was almost windless today? Anyway it’s good to hear he’s normally a better shot. A relief. I have to be honest and say I haven’t seen that much of him so it’s a small sample size i’m getting vocal about and better to hold my tongue no doubt!

noticed that too! I mean it’s not like he’s just learning to kick for goal is it! All over the place.

Not sure what to think about Jeffo. Lots to like about his positioning and marking. But his kicking for goal is close to being a liability. well in this game it actually IS that. On the positive, theres plenty to work with and he’s marking it …thats a big part of being a genuine fwd. But Jury still out for me and he def won’t be playing in 2024.

i count 5 frikn misses from him inside 50 now. 2 posters, 1 point and 2 no scores. I love his potential but if he makes it and kicks like that he’s going to break a lot of hearts

but can’t hit the side of a frikn barn

yeah i saw that too… wtaf?

I know we’ve lost a LOT of players at this level… it’s just hard to watch the lack of physical pressure and sloppiness with the ball 🤦

A side thought on the Wright case. If he had just stuck his knee out and broken 3 ribs on Cunnningham instead of using is shoulder he'd have no case to answer. The collision look a little similar to me in terms of the angle both players were coming from. Using the knee as a battering ram a la Cox and Chol must be reportable.

I’m remembering, if my memory is correct, the 1989 season and the Hawks. Both Dunstall and Dermie were badly injured in a home and away game against us. Dunstall with a bad head injury and Brereton had to miss quite a few as well. They not only won the game against us that day but went on to win the flag as well. Hoping we are as resilient.
