It looked like Garcia with a hamstring or leg complaint in the last 5 minutes. Nothing said about it though.

Max Heath tearing it up. Best game i've seen him play by far.

Just took a ball out of the ruck, ran and broke a tackle, kicked inside 50 for a goal.

3pts the diff in the final qtr for anyone interested in watching.

Dumb football in the first quarter. Just so so in the second, but I thought we looked like we had more cohesion in that second half. Dow and Clark were solid. Excellent job Windhager Overall, a small step in the right direction That sums it up. We weren't tuned into their red time change of pace, i...

Has there ever been a player more fragile than King.

Yes, but I dare not speak his name.

A much more upbeat press conference today.

The forwardline steps up when King is out.

It's the opposite of what you want from a good leader.

I don't know if that's something you can change in a player.

Hastie is a good long kick of the footy.

Great goal for Garcia.

Heath is in everything.

People need to realise that we were still putrid for a large part of the match. Barely got on top of a still rebuilding Eagles outfit who will finish bottom 3 or 4 and were missing their two most influential players. Reid should never have been given the license to get as much ball as he did in the...

Don't let him in the forward 50 unless the ball is already in there, and he will shine.

5 Wood (4 goals straight)
4 Wilkie (13 intercepts)
3 WIndhager (6 clearances, defensive role)
2 Steele (15 tackles)
0.5 Clark (12 tackles)
0.5 Henry (9 score involvements)

For a 14 point win against last years wooden spooners and one of three clubs below us on the ladder?

Some reasonable match day changes in the middle of the game but the games are won and lost with coaching well before the first bounce.

Hunter Clark has been very good for his first game back.

We are playing like we're tanking right now.

Yep, looked to be moving OK but subbed anyway.

Running over the boundary line especially when being tackled should be insufficient intent.

Sorry to say but I think Members is cooked. 4 handballs and 10 metres gained is his output for the half.

Don't get the obsession with Windhager playing behind the ball.

The game has moved past stoppage as being the difference between sides. Need to be clean with the ball and generate quality I50 entries and we are losing that around the middle of the ground in general play. Players like Ross, Steele, Crouch, Windhager are stoppage players that are not effective in ...

So for those watching the game… The issue is the mids right? Top 4 disposal winners on the ground are WCE players. Sinclair has gone cold, Steele barely in the game We are winning the ball from stoppage well enough, but poor execution is giving it back to them. Steele being missing isn't really bei...

Bomb into 50 works for us somehow

Diving below the knees also not being paid anymore.

We have done it for the last 2 years, so either it's being coached or the players aren't listening.

All the ball and no score other than from a free kick.

Then we let them get on top and kick twice our score.

Need to hit the scoreboard when we have it our way.

Thought they changed the holding the ball interpretation? forgotten after 3 games

WA is 20 years behind the rest of the country, they'll come around eventually.
