That half forward line is a joke.

Not a single forward in there.

Hard to kick goals with a team full of backmen.

I don't care that he had a bad game. Dropping Cumberland is the last straw for me. I'm gonna say it. Hardwick has to go.

Judz has to lift here otherwise he'd be out next week.

If the weather is wet as predicted we’re too slow tall Soldo Miller Ryan
Whos going to light it up and kick goals?
I’ll be checking the odds for the Weagles

The line is 41.5. Seems a big start to have to overcome in the wet.

A wet rainy track, so they bring in a bloke who's soft and avoids physical contests which are paramount in wet weather footy and drop a bloke who can kick goals and is hard at it and has energy which the team is bereft of.

My interest level for this week is Meh.

 

[btoz_01]

Is cumbo,s contract up this yea?
If so just watch pies or cats swoop him up and watch him kick 50 or 60 a year for them....How the hell was he zupposed to get hos hands on the ball for us with the rubbish delivery entering our foward zone

Cumbo contract till end of 2024

 

[UKTiger]

As much as I want Miller to succeed I don't understand why has has another chance after the last two weeks non performance unless it is to showcase him to WA in the hope someone will go for him next season. I would have preferred Bauer who can still only manage to get on the emergency list but maybe he will be the sub. Mind you anyone except Mansell! I wonder why Cumberland was dropped as he is our only forward (except Jack) who seems to know where the goalposts are

 

[CarnTheTiges]

It’s certainly uninspiring selection. That, at present, is how they’re playing, and seems how they’re coached.

If anything Ralphsmith should have come in last week and Cotch rested
Then id swap them this week.
Bizarro world atm with our coaches.

 

[dimmauchump]

Been a long time since ive looked at a match and thought i might mow the lawns....in the wet!

 

[Little Ziggyadee]

Where did Tylar get injured?

When he kicked across goals straight to King..
Dropped too.

I'm not going.
I reckon half our team are spent.
I saw them on Tuesday and they were laughing and monkeying around.
So if they don't care, I don't
Considering I said I would never see a flag. I've seen 3.
That's fine for me.

He won't go near it.
Another cat.
These recruiters have screwed us

 

[MalenyTiger]

Not happy with Ralphsmith coming back in (particularly for a wet game). Surely this would be a good time to give Dow another shot at it. Don't understand Cumberland being dropped. Our forward line looks really slow. If Pickett does actually line up there hopefully he does more than last week when he played there. Having said that he could be a good wet weather forward with his toughness. We're gonna have to rely on Bolton and Dusty to weave some magic this week... could be a really dour low scoring affair.

 

[gold1]

West Coast to date: better overall ball efficiency including inside 50.Average score one point more than the Tiges.Oh here we go again................

 

[Smoking Aces]

Dimma was inching to drop Cumberland.

He has been out of form. I am not surprised.

 

[Smoking Aces]

Cumberland had 6 possessions last week, he was horrible. I am a massive Cumberland fan but let’s not pretend he earned another game this week.
His defensive efforts were poor. After he missed a couple of goals early he went missing, was part of a forward line that lacked defensive intent.
Miller only survived because of young’s injury I suspect but he was horrible as well.

Hit the nail on the head Sin.

 

[Merveille]

Cumberland out for who ??? Jack graham who has not played a great game all year and was well down last year as well...
Another slow plodder ....at least Cumbo chased and added x factor and can kick multiple goals ....
As for ralphsmith over cumbo..good greif ....milldr still plays ?? Guess because young is out

I’m with you Frumpy. And. i won’t be going to the game based on the Cumberland selection. Stinks

Ha ha as opposed to others?
Or are you taking the p1ss
