[wycbloods]

Fantastic result for the bloods and gives us a bit of breathing space from South and Port. Keeps us around the mark with North as well.

Long time since we have said that a North/West game could be the match of the day. well done to the bloods, finally the supporters seeing some rosey times after years in the doldrums, guys like wycbloods and Theile deserve to see some success, just not next week and today was something likes westies 13 or 15th win at alberton in over 100 years. Great result

Long time since we have said that a North/West game could be the match of the day.

Since the 91 GF perhaps?

Might be match of the day (next Sat), but maybe not match of the Round.

I have not had cause to comment on the umpiring this year
BUT
The 2nd qtr was bewildering today
PA copped the raw end of the decisions

At half time Id thought WA by plenty
Too fast
Too clever
Too cohsive
PA 2-6
WA 7-3
BUT
WA played negatively 3RD QTR
PA got back into it
Ironically WA were in front all game

THEN
PA 9-15
WA 11-8
Young Young playing his 5th game of the year
Was tackled high and got a sus free kick
From where I was standing it appeared he ducked into that decision
Young Young had a set shot from about 40 mtrs out
THE SIREN SOUNDED
Young Young had a chance to put PA up for the first time all day
He came in
he shoots for goal
its
its
its
a point
a wobbly floaty that missed


PA 9-16
WA 11-8

Prob will get shot down by the WA barrackers
BUT
Very very disappointed in them today
Million $$$$ First half playing dymnamic footy
3rd qtr they appeared to concentrate on stopping PA

In my opinion had they just continued on in the 2nd half as they did earlier they would have won by 40+ points

B.O.G.
Joel Perry
has his critics on SAFOOTY but was a lone hand the PA forward line

And had Young kicked that goal
This review would focus on that Ump descision...

lets not get ahead of ourselves Westies fans, we only beat port at the end of the day

big game this week lets hope we make a real contest of it against North, if we can beat a top 5 team then we know we have turned the corner

i think next weeks and infact this years results are not the most important feature for west this year. the fact that west are now very competitive and have belief in themselves is the foundation they were craving for, which i think with a couple more recruits to top up, could/should be pushing for a finals berth next year, and possibly top 3 the year after. not saying west wont play finals this year, but i think thats what id be looking forward too as a west supporter.
collins is laying the groundwork nicely IMO.

Can someone tell me how far Lobbe went backwards today in the b's? .

Im guessing he isn't playing Div 5 amateurs!

[redandblack]

Lobbe was very good in ruck and around the ground today.

For Sturt fans, young Kieran Flanigan impressed also.

[Wedgie]

Awesome result, well done Westies, West are the only thing giving the SANFL some life this year.

point taken, and if you said at the start of the year we would be 6th and 3 points clear of 7th at this point i would have taken it no worries...... i just think that its time for a stretch target now we are in this position.

We beat the eagles last week and they are a top 5 side.
