TIME TO ATTACK WEST ADELAIDE 999

[mal]

Ive been following SANFL football for a long time
Theres something that I cant work out
West Adelaide has posted these scores in thier 3 games[and losses]
9-11 v norwood
9-7 v south
9-13 v glenelg

= 999 every game

Now if they had a full forward to aim at instead of being the fool back .....
Surely one of my favourite SANFL players Damien Cupido must play forward
A potential 50-100 goal forward playing fool back is wasted ?
And yes he has played good footy at fool back but at what cost to the team ?

Time to attack ?

[Thiele]

agree with you Mal
Cupido has been one of our good players so far
Played half a 1/4 last week down forward

[bayman]

absolutely mal, cupido kicked 55 goals (from memory) when he had his year at noarlunga & yes he has been playing very well this year but having 30-40 'touches' in the back pocket hardly hurts the opposition, but if he had 15-20 touches' in a forward line & kicked 6 -8 goals he'd be doing a great job for his side on the scoreboard & hurting the opposition

[OCT]

But the problem is if he wasnt there how much would they get beaten by ? He is obviously plugging holes , he may not get an opportunity if in the forward lines.There is a lot to consider when you dont have much depth , quality and experience. You have to consider confidence etc . Do you lose by 5 goals or 15 ? I dont envy Collins position but I think he has been in this situation before and turned things around very quickly. If West improve in a year or 2 and Cupido is still playing I bet he aint playing in the backlines !!

[bulldogproud]

Are West's scores hidden code for Andy Collins being the beast? (upside down 666)
Hoping he can bring some brute beastly force and get their players to produce a devil of an attacking game.

[brod]

Im all for this, especially as Ive now picked them to win in the punting comp.

[CENTURION]

It's now 9999!

[locky801]

Why would you play the pie man down back (Cupido) on his day he is a 7 to 9 goal FF, at the moment that is about what the side is kicking, even if you play him on a flank he will kick 3 or 4 which may get a win. At the moment can't see a win in the near future for the blood & Tars

It's now 9999!

Does this mean you're going to resurrect your 'IS THIS WEIRD, OR WHAT!' thread ?

Need I say any more? It's WEIRD!

It's little wonder. Normally a team would run out on to the ground to their club song, but Westies run out to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wCJ9WmX9Zw

[therisingblues]

There's a version of that backwards on YouTube also Aerie.
Bloody scary though. I heard it once, now I don't want to hear it forwards or backwards ever again!

[spell_check]

So that's what all of those behinds in the last quarter were for? To stay on 9 goals?

[spell_check]

Kicking the same amount of goals 4 weeks in succession is not unique:

Torrens between Rds 10 and 13 1929 scored 13.12, 13.7, 13.12 and 13.7
North between Rds 2 and 5 1932 scored 15.17, 15.14, 15.16 and 15.13
West between Rds 2 and 5 1934 scored 15.14, 15.18, 15.16 and 15.14
Sturt between Rds 4 and 7 1948 scored 11.14, 11.18, 11.13 and 11.19
Torrens between Rds 1 and 4 1954 scored 10.8, 10.12, 10.12 and 10.17 (also scoring 10.17 in Round 6)
Glenelg between Rds 3 and 6 1976 scored 17.18, 17.26, 17.13 and 17.14
North between Rds 15 and 18 1981 scored 13.13, 13.19, 13.21 and 13.13

But the outright leader in this stat belongs to Sturt, who kicked 4 goals, 6 matches in a row:
Rd 13 1907: 4.11
Rd 14 1907: 4.8
Rd 2 1908: 4.10
Rd 3 1908: 4.5
Rd 4 1908: 4.5
Rd 5 1908: 4.9

[bayman]

well 2 more games & westies will equal that record 5 more games & they'd have 9 goals in a row in 9 games

do not go crook this is from little bayman

Where are the pre-season West posters who were spruiking about their recruits and the big improvements that would make them a final 5 prospect.

They are in the final 5 ... !!!

At least they are having a dip as they lead at 1/4 time in thier games.

My advice is when the skipper wins the toss he points one way and when Damian is not looking point the other way, DC will end up where he belongs.

WA best forward line

THIELE ....CUPIDO.....GRAY

CAIRE......WILLETTS...COORONG

Sadly 3 of those guys have not played up forward this season ...
