5 goal win.
Scott gambled, gave Draper the minutes he needed. Probably cost us as their mids read him easily. Despite dominating the hit outs.
Coasters played well we played better.
Our skills were rusty and intensity down.
Listening to the song it sounded like a sunday arvo win
Some one needed to smash liam ryan bloke killed us in the middle
That was quite possibly the least enthusiastic rendition of the club song I have ever heard. Players maybe a little annoyed that they let WC get so close for so long.
We just donāt do, comfortable, satisfying wins where as supporters we feel like we can relax.
Itās why I donāt get people pre game saying they expect us to win by 8 goals, 10 goals etc.
Stoked that weāre 3rd at round 15.
Wouldāve bitten your hand off at the start of the year for that.
But it feels the same as last year. I donāt think much has changed.
I think thereās probably a bit of frustration at our actual disposal efficiency and ball movement.
Lack of run and movement through missing targets.
F##k Yeah. Solid win in the end.
Bring on Saturday night.
AFL creaming their pants.
Draper should just stay solo from now on.
No more goldy unless injury.
Can I ask an open question - who here is happy with this season?
I canāt help but think we are wasting our time.
We are not that good and not spending enough time getting good. Weāre going to barely make the 8 and lose our first final yet again, and then reflect on the year:
Weāll know very little more about our side, all the while Merrett Parish Wright all get a year older.
On top of this, I see no reason to believe we have turned the corner mentally. We are such an unprofessional club. Today was EFC vs. EFCās mistakes (and Barrass & Waterman). I never āexpectā a 10 goal win but ā ā ā ā me, playing these guys at home without Reid & Kellyā¦ they could still have won it with 5 minutes to go!
Iām rarely accused of being an optimist with the footy, but other than Durham & Caldwell weāre half way through the year and I canāt think of much weāve learnt.
Two clean games clear of 5th is nice
west coast average 50 points outside of WA
they kicked 92 and 13 goals 14, if they kick straight oh boy, isnāt that how it goes, you know win stats on a stat sheet and you deserve the win 
I mean iām sure that was the vibe against carlton.
You have to back in the 90s or eallrly 2000s where all of dons,pies,blues sitting top 4
Perfect win for me. We get the 4 points and there is more than enough for me to be critical of and harp on about for the next week
Also, the umpiring is making the game almost unwatchable at this point
That was an okay win. We won by as much as much as I thought, but the way we won wasnāt too great.
Defensively we werenāt so great. The first and third quarter were poor. Second and last were better.
A non existent forward press style of footy is not modern footy. Maybe itās just because Menzie was sub and Gresham was out.
Duursma is our most important player. The amount of running he does really makes up for any deficiencies in our game style.
I thought the entire back six deserves a bit of praise. McKay, Laverde, Ridley, Redman, McGrath and Kelly all did their job well and held their opponents as well as they could.
The centre bounce work needs some help. They left too much leak out the front of the contest and without Martin there, the damage should and could have been much worse. If we had that kind of result against Carlton, we would have been smashed in that game.
Iām glad weāve come back from the bye relatively well. Last year we were flat against Freo and lost. This year, weāre patchy but won.
Will be interesting to see how we line up next week with Goldy and Gresham to come back in. Also will be interesting if Hobbs comes back in to help with our clearance issues.
heppell getting the last goal then a big hug from merrett proves thereās still some romanticism in this godforsaken gambling vehicle
You do realise we are third? Or is this a ā ā ā ā take?
Yep.
These two just stat pad with cheap kicks sideways and go for the sideways pass so they get an effective kick so nuffies go into bat for them by pointing to the stat sheet.
We donāt yet. It is clear the focus is on building the foundation of a team that competes and plays for longer than 5 mins each 1/4. It is a gradual process and we are not near it yet. But we are building it. Once that foundation is laid things will change regarding scorelines.
Still the Pies have made an artform of not putting teams away but still winning. I would be happy with that if it got us a GF win.
its like playing one of those drinking games where the rules change every round
