West Coast v Tiges game day thread

[the claw]

our team is full of weeds sticks skinny runts whatever else you want to call them.

They're called kids Clawsy.
You asked for them, you've got them.

i reckon theres only 3 or 4 on the entire list oldie that come up to scratch in this area the kids you can live with as long as they are gradually getting bigger and stronger. it seems at rfc they get to a size and hit a wall.

Fair enough.
The guys that do look physically strong enough are:
Foley
Jackson
Johnson
Hartigan
Newman
Tivendale
Polo
Simmonds
Tuck

The rest have got plenty of work to do in this area.

reckon foley and polo could do with some more size especially polo.

Not sure about the umpiring on the whole but the Jackson non free kick possibly the worst non awarding of a free kick I can recall. Must have been 3 or 4 breaches of the rules there.

Agree, i say it was the worst free kick "not given" this year. Pulled his neck off while bringing him to the ground. ???

Robert Walls went absolutely nuts in the commentary box.....(he was secretly barracking for the Tiges! )

Polo perhaps but Foley's a nugget.

Agree

... for anyone to deny this means one of two things either the rose coloureds are on or they are totally delusional. ...

Gee claw, you make it hard to have a differing opinion. :hihi

For the record I agree, many of our kids are built more like athletes than footballers. Hopefully they will be strong but if they are light they will still be easily bumped off the ball and pushed around. I don't think we need anymore of these types.

I don't understand the stock exchange reference? In the words of Auntie Pauline, "Please explain"

I think blx is referring to the technological advantage the Eagles have. Enough PCs (and people behind them) to run Microsoft.

BTW, I think the Eagles kids do look bigger than ours, but have always suspected that their jumper design may facilitate this perception.
