This one is for you Synbad :wink:

Had to have a laugh yesterday when I heard Matthew Campbell (Fox Footy) whilst commentating in the 1st quarter referring to West Coast .........

"They're like DOWNHILL SKIERS ...... they are running the wrong way"

Did any one else pick that up as well ......

i just cant understand how a side can chase, tackle, run in numbers and push the league leader for a half, then come out and do @#$%&! all in the second.

to me west coast in the 1st half were under pressure more than being rusty, where we attacked them and gave them no real time to do anything.

However that shit in the 2nd half showed what a skitzo bunch of players we have

It's all about Andrew learning about the game re: tagging.

Answer me this...

Does Wells, Goddard or Cooney have a defensive side to their game?


I'll have a go :)

Wells has the ability to run players down with his pace, but doesn't always man up when the Roos don't have possession.
Goddard seems to play loose across 1/2 back and is as nimble as an elephant wrapped in glad-wrap. I've never seen him standing an opponent.
Cooney I haven't seen much of.

Judd is made to look good by the blocks put on by the other Eagles midfielders. Both he and Cousins get that all important few steps break on their opponent due to screens and shepherds. Our midfield is being cut to ribbons and other than Walker appear to be as slow as treacle.


Spot on Wojee. Judd is brilliant but his job his made a lot easier by the work his teammates do off the ball. If Walks got the same support from his teammates he'd be unstoppable.

And just on the tagging. I'd much rather see him learning from the best in the business (Judd, Akker, McLeod etc) than see him getting cheap kicks in the back half like Campo and Stevens. Walks has been our ONLY accountable midfielder for the last 7 weeks. Our young guys learning that kind of accountability will be a key to our rise back up the ladder.

Judd is a brilliant footballer and a pleasure to watch..most players spray the ball when at full pace but he never does..everytime he touched the ball we suffered, his acceleration from a standing start is amazing and Walker is not slow but Judd burnt him off and others easily.

Good experience for Andrew Walker....was beaten but not disgraced and was running on in the final quarter when some others had given up which shows he has plenty of pride..he wont get many better than Judd in his career...
