Right. All ready for the game. I would really like to see a better showing than last week.
Well the orange socks have been the only stand out so far
Very messy game so far. SOS's and Flippa's second shot very very gettable.
SOJ finding plenty of it, trying too hard with his kicks though, shanked a couple of set shots
Great work out for back, who have done a solid job.
Weiters been on the bike for a while with strapped shin...
Where are Laj and all those pushing for Jaksch to be in the side. He's a non event!!!
Nice goal from SOJ , didn't need to think , just instinct
Nice run of connections ending with running goal to SOS
Weagles defence out marking our forwards , not a lot in this ATM , very bottled up.
White's becoming a right don't argue type- . good addition to his box of tricks
Some very positive patches, but we can get that final kick in for a shot at goal.
Think Weitering is done
Cripps quiet, only 5 hb's so far
Plowman playing with more confidence - he's the future..
C Curnow and KJ have not touched it virtually.
We need to play on more, this chip around stuff is just no good for us.
Rowe's done well to hold JK - up until now, first mark and goal
What's with the hand balling ffs - no confidence and very lacklustre
This will be a 100+ pt loss.
Plowman, Simmo, Doc , some nice clearances from the back half but virtually nothing to kick to, thought first is to hand off & go back.
Buckley has that moment of brilliance- goals off a step under pressure 51 out
Nice goal Buckley, certainly some fight out there, but lacking skills
Well played again Rowe
Why did they wind the clock down then - why not try and attack in the last 10 seconds? Not like we're defending a lead!

Because we would probably turn it over and hand them a goal in junk time.
Nothing to get excited about but we're hanging in there at least.
Sumner and Lamb almost invisible and Jaksch a non event so it's hard to see us kicking a winning score.
Simpson in career best form.
Sumner, Cripps and Weitering seem to be playing injured and Curnow is just too underdone.
Our defence is really looking cohesive given the quality they're up against. We really need to have a crack taking the game on second half. Missing the young Irishman in that sense. Hope someone else can bring that.. Not sure who.
KJ needs to make the most of his opportunities.
Go Blues
Playing with the extra man in defence is, obviously, helping us out down there, but it is certainly hindering us when we are trying to come out of it. We have nobody to kick to.
Many people are talking about player x is invisible out there. Unfortunately 'player x' could be about 12 names!
To this point in time it is very similar to last week. Crows dominated us from here last week, lets see what we've learned to stop it from happening again.

Isn't the key forwards fault there it's the way the ball moves into the 50. No blame there at all. Like I've always said, we were a way better side when we had two of them in the team. Opened up the 50 so much more and kicked way higher scores. More players could kick goals and even the ruckmen found room to take a mark and snag a goal. Since we've gone back to the structure of the first 4 rounds we back to not being able to kick a goal. One structure gave us 6 from 7, the other zero from 9. Right now we re on target for a grand total of 6 goals. One day we will learn.
Did Denis get caught in the traffic this week??

Jaksch is slow and can't change direction, like Watson before him.
One day we will learn.
Maybe, but we seem to keep recruiting players with the same shortcomings.
Impressed with Philips , growing in statue as the game goes on, giving us a target at least
Jaksch has been dissappointing so far, lack of intent
Good to see Hill learn from our turnover artists
Kruez - Cripps - clearance. Need more of that
It would be good if we had some key forwards playing today.
Was that 50 against us for an inaccurate return?
So this is what an AFL side without a forward line looks like...
Weiters marks at top of square
Well done - weiters first goal
Go Crippa, you can goal
Or not....
Cripps really needs to work on his kicking.
Excellent 2e
Pagan's paddock lol.
Let's see if Charlie can convert - good boy, that's how its done
Last 3 shots for goal: Weitering, Cripps and Curnow! Nice names.
Graham off with claret
The live ladder as the eagles 4th. They are terrible away from Perth, no chance for the flag.
WC goal from nonsensical umpiring blue
White has cost us the last 2 goals.
Umps pay us back and it still ends in WC goal - damm
Jacksh is not AFL standard. That trade is a massive stuff up.
Thought White had done well today, rather him than Jaksch any day
White was having a good game just made a couple of mistakes.
Awesome goal from Wright, amazing that he is our leading goal kicker this year, but well done
It's days like today that you wish you still had the sub. Jaksch needs to just stay on the bench and only come on if a player who is actually trying, gets injured. (White at least is having a real crack!)
27 down at 3/4 time. Could be much worse if not for solid defense and some unlikely goal scorers. Hope we can sustain the pressure for last - that'll be a win for us IMO
Go Blues
Jaksch is slow and can't change direction, like Watson before him.
Yep was thinking the same thing at the game. Sadly he has no clue. Big muck up losing a first rounder for this guy.
Can't see him making it. When you can't even do the basics and been in the system for 3 plus years usually tells you something.
You can't fault the effort but three or four Eagles goals from turnovers which would embarrass suburban footballers make it very tough.
At least we have a good crack these days, but we sure need to recruit a few skillful players.
Duck me these umpires.... I just don't understand why they just destroy us every week.
Great composure 2e doc and gibbs
That was holding the ball. We should be having a shot.
Courageous spoil KJ
Great effort going back with the flight to spoil.....gets no reward for it, but its moments like that we need more of.
Plenty of people coming down hard on Jaksch, but the kid is playing his first game for the year, playing a different role to what he has had to since entering the AFL and is still only 21.
Great mark Charlie
Nice grab Charlie , will be better off for the run , will be keen to see him next year with a full pre season
Sensational mark Plowman and delivery to Kerridge
Certainly some good efforts today, this game had all the ear marks of a blow at times
The effort and concentration looking sound.
Coleman Kennedy only got 2. Last year he kicked about 10 :))
Turn the tables - Crippa has multiple goals... 2 anyway
Weitering on one leg lol
Nice Mark Weitering , result of some great mid field work. , 2 to Weitering nice effort
Can you believe Weiters kicks 2 as well
Great effort Blues
Weagles have really stopped , but Cripps had kicked that would have been interesting
Not sure if it's imagination or desperation, but nice to see Bolts mixing it up.
#freekickwestcoast
Masten - yep...........
Some great endeavour, but lack that finishing class to consolidate the effort and cause scoreboard pressure, in time hope that will come
Ed beats priddis well

Yep, way too much sloppy play.
Simpson brilliant mark.
Gibbs goal.
Simmo - silvagni - Gibbs. Sensational, dare I say polished.
And SOJ brilliant too.
Nice to see some free flowing play.
Some great work goal Gibbs , Cripps miss if it had been converted would have made this interesting
Weagles won't be scaring any other top 8 team based on today's effort.
First class second half. Be proud bluebaggers
Siren - 7 point loss. Good effort by the way. Disappointing to come up so short.
Well fought out , proud of some of the guys , lack of class & finishing cost today, better than the last months for sure.

Yes.
And West Coast really need to change that song - "we're flying high" - seriously ?
Amazing how we scored more when Weitering went forward. Who would have thought we needed a key forward.?
Those late errors within a few minutes that cost goals late in the 3rd qtr cost us the game.
Amazing how we scored more when Weitering went forward. Who would have thought we needed a key forward.?
Yes. He went better forward and Jaksch did much better when he went back. Leave him forward next week with Casboult and let Jaksch get some confidence in defence.

I was thinking the same, maybe he starts there next week? Maybe CHB might not be the only posi for him. Remember Sellars started in the BP early in his career.
Stop it you 2 - you're ruining SOS's grand plan for the draft / trade period.
Very silly mistakes cost the game
Sorry PaulP, what were we thinking , we might win oops. But would be good to see him tried there
Very silly mistakes cost the game
Those ones in quick succession late in the 3rd qtr.
Yes. He went better forward and Jaksch did much better when he went back. Leave him forward next week with Casboult and let Jaksch get some confidence in defence.
Jaksch did SFA
We may as well continue this in the right place :

Cripps really needs to work on his kicking if he is to take the next step. People who call for him to go fwd need to rethink think that until he fixes that part of his game. Its no accident that when you look at his 29 Disp, its 9K 20HB. All in all, we didnt give up. I though that when WC got that little run in the third, we would be on the end of a 100 pt flogging.
Jaksch did SFA
Not that you ever get anything right but he was better when he went to defence.
