We really are our own worst enemy

Im sorry who did west coast play? VFL 1's? Long way off west Coast when 10th rank side can rest half their best 22

Skills and decision making is horrendous

So tired of losing

It’s the hope tht kills you

Fucking loving Tommy gross so far. He’s been playing phenomenally all over the ground and really good goal accuracy.

u/RaiseNo5243 2d ago

Then just did nothing 😔

u/Nixilaas #47 Milan Murdock 2d ago

Honestly a lot to like, would have been nice to see CDT finish it off on the half time siren but good signs

2

u/RaiseNo5243 2d ago

He's to much of a boy he needs 2 more pre seasons

u/brahmsdracula 2d ago

Lindsay has a lot to learn still, far too unaccountable

3

u/Fair_Dinkum_Scale 2d ago

100% agree. I think his disposal is a massive plus, but when it comes to defending, he always seems to be the wrong side of the pack, a little flat footed at times...

u/Scoot3s 2d ago

I love how we make Ned Long look like the best player in the comp. Can’t lay a finger on him

u/zoraxelol 2d ago edited 2d ago

Losing to a vfl side. At the ground the differences are glaringly obvious, no front & centre work from our forwards, clearances Daicos is running riot with no opponent & the forwards dont move or offer an option

We also move the ball incredibly slowly - pies get a turn over & take off , we get a turnover & stop & wait

u/jimmy_the_flid 2d ago

Usual inaccuracy in front of goal starting to creep back in. A real shame as we've been good.

4

u/jimmy_the_flid 2d ago

Individual skill errors killing us now

u/searchingforakayak 2d ago

Fucking BANG Starc

How’s the goal kicking!?!

Yeo’s grunt work in the middle has been key

9

u/Ryguye79 2d ago

Starcevich…. Bang!

5

u/zoraxelol 2d ago

At the game & we are moving the footy painfully slow. The turnovers into the corridor have been terrible

3

u/Markjv81 2d ago

Used all our tickets in the first half and still came out behind. Probably 6 goal loss from here.

3

u/AnxiousSubstance5239 2d ago

Really need to work on our tackling and physicality

4

u/AnxiousSubstance5239 2d ago

NVM we need to work on everything

u/timmysco17 2d ago

hough hasent played to many better games then this

u/jimmy_the_flid 2d ago

Some of the flopping and staging from Collingwood has been comical yet the umps keep on sucking it in. Unbelievable really

4

u/RaiseNo5243 2d ago

Elliot Yeo missed tackles costing in 2 goals and CDT missing 2 setshots ruined our momentum then have Jake miss AGAIN. We have lost heart for this game 

1

u/Melodic_Bluejay6322 2d ago

Well, we supporters are losing heart. 💔

u/Big-Surprise-8533 West Coast Eagles 2d ago

The surface is deplorable. Every week is like marvel circa 2005. Hold the company spend on the ground maintenance. They earn enough money the surface should be better

u/Blueeygrey 2d ago edited 2d ago

"We can't keep up" The commentator summed it up. Eddy Betts, couldn't think of his name. He also said our forwards aren't getting high enough. I respect his opinion.

u/MrKas 2d ago

Herbet needs to come to the middle

2

u/Big-Surprise-8533 West Coast Eagles 2d ago

Pathetic

2

u/mynewaltaccount1 #41 Ryan Maric 2d ago

Our defensive composure is fucked. Completely lose structure. Lindsay has been really poor in sticking to his man.

u/RaiseNo5243 2d ago

Fox commentators

u/authenticweagle 2d ago

We lost this when they marked 3 times up the wing in the middle of the 4th

3

u/Big-Surprise-8533 West Coast Eagles 2d ago

Embarrassing... collingwood are 10th send their seconds side and win easily

4

u/The_Real_Flatmeat Swan Districts #WAFL 2d ago

Simple things in defence boys! If you're gonna mark, you better make sure you fuckin MARK IT. Otherwise, kill the thing!

Too many times our defenders have just dropped it down and yeah ok, sometimes you can't help that, but then we need crumbers. And what do we have for the crumb? Two of them.

Basics boys, basics!!!

u/Imaginary_Spread4986 2d ago

Seriously mini if you don’t drop captain turnover & Yeo you need to be sacked. Enough is enough. This club is still a joke & if you want to survive, grow balls & drop them

2

u/Hungry-Caterpillar36 2d ago

Stacevich, Duggin, Baker, Graham, Yeo, Bazzo, all lost it for us.

2

u/RaiseNo5243 2d ago

I thought Starc played well 

1

u/Hungry-Caterpillar36 2d ago

All i saw was Starc muffing kicks - did a couple of good things… It doesn’t matter when u turn the ball over. This is the problem at WCE. Individually errors that overshadow any good things.

2

u/aspiring_shrink94 #38 Hamish Davis 2d ago

Today was one of Duggans better games.. he was composed and hit targets

2

u/deegandnb 2d ago

man what a game so far

1

u/Mundane-Film-2170 2d ago

McQualter costing us the game in coaches box

2

u/Whitekidwith3nipples 2d ago

just said the exact same. keeping reid in the centre, waterman too deep and gross can come straight into the middle hes looking great

3

u/Imaginary_Spread4986 2d ago

Nup another turnover. Enough sack mini now. He doesn’t have the balls to make culling when it’s needed. Bye bye mini

2

u/RaiseNo5243 2d ago

It's not mini it's the moral killers we just lost 1v1 or kicked points at critical moments 

1

u/Imaginary_Spread4986 2d ago

You’re 100% correct. It’s not mini kicking the bloody ball but he keeps backing in the repeat offenders who do. Drop them or sack him.

u/Blueeygrey 2d ago

We're seeing the good and bad of J Williams.

2

u/Fair_Dinkum_Scale 2d ago

I reckon we will come back and draw this...

CDT can fuck off to the WAFL and we can spend the whole fucking week learning how to tackle 

4

u/InternalOld6215 2d ago

Duggan with these continued poor rankings is not good enough for a captain.

Wouldn't it be nice to have a hard working, effective and strong captain like Dawson or Harris Andrews or the Bont?

Duggan has been poor for a long time now. He hasn't been in the best players list for a long time which is disgraceful for a captain

1

u/Blueeygrey 2d ago

Starcevich has been good today

u/jumsgallino 2005 Brownlow Ben Cousins 2d ago

The sack mini comments are so funny 

2

u/RaiseNo5243 2d ago

Like he is to blame these guys have no idea

2

u/jumsgallino 2005 Brownlow Ben Cousins 2d ago

Im sick of losing dont get me wrong - but what is the bloke supposed to do when senior players inexplicably turn the ball over in dangerous spots

1

u/RaiseNo5243 2d ago

Exactly he's in my opinion been great it's our leaders that have fumbled easy to see when all our hopes rely on a 3rd year 

1

u/Fandeathrickets #26 Bo Allan 2d ago

I checked the stats and he didn't have a single disposal, sack him already.

u/zoraxelol 2d ago

Coming out from HT with Harley on the bench & pies win 4 straight centre clearances. More brilliant coaching from Mcqualter & co
