All Subi Diehards should get ready for an invasion of mullets, missing teeth, blue and black flannelette shirts, Winnie reds, old commodores, tattoos and dirty jeans exposing the cracks of their arses…and that’s just the sheilas!!! Don’t get me started on the blokes.
On the field, they have a Rolls Royce of midfields which will be very hard to contain. Hopefully, Clarke can give us first go at the stoppages and we take some momentum into the game after last week. Our forwards connected a bit better with our mids and our defence was rock solid. If we can break even through the middle we stand half a chance.
Braut should come back in after a solid display in the ressies last week with McGowan and maybe Vanirsen in the mix as well. Disappointing Jordy Lockyer is out for a couple with a hammy as he was travelling pretty well in his return. A big ask but if we play at our best we should be thereabouts… I hope.
Thanks DG and Frothy. Rylie Morgan on 91.3fm this morning says he pulled up with a tweaked hammy and it’s more precautionary to rest it tomorrow. We will miss him.
I actually think Jordan Faraone has a great defensive side to his game. I notice a lot of second efforts and taps that don’t translate to goals. Quick and switched on for opportunistic stats and an excellent set shot too. But, yeah, Robbins unlucky to miss out. Isn’t it nice for the team to have such depth that the coaches have to make so many tough choices.
Terrific win. We matched them through the middle but our backs and forwards were far more efficient. Great to see Borchet find some form and I also thought Kentfield showed a lot up forward and in he ruck as well for a 17yo.
Braut adds some grunt at the stoppages and Zac Clarke was huge. An all-round team effort only soured by what looks like a hammy to Aaron Heal.
Agree on all counts bc. Thought kentfield played himself onto an afl list. Maybe Schofield and I think Golding would do ok in the afl, too. We’re a premiership chance. Just a chance . Need some luck. East Perth will be worried.
That has thrown the premiership race wide open.
A good win by Subiaco today and setting up the win during the third quarter. Interesting to note Subi only had 1 more scoring shot from having less Ball disposals. Yet more accurate when they had the ball. They would have been pleased with the win ahead of their bye next week. Subiaco can now sort out any niggles and should be refreshed the week after. Should be winning 2 of the last 3 matches one would think?
I only watched this one on telly and while I loved the unexpected win, gees it was like East Perth wanted us to win! So many mistakes by them. Was it because of our pressure? Maybe, didn’t seem so though. But great effort by Subi. I do admire the way they stick at the chaotic style and back each other up. Good to see Borch get some result for effort.
I am not a fan of Will Hickmott on the wing. I watched him closely today and he did not have one disposal that went to a team mate. I’d love to see someone else tried in this critical position. Maybe Tholstrup, Robbins, or even Stainsby might thrive with a bit more freedom.
Excellent game from Subi full credit. We haven’t had a physical match for a long time and didn’t handle it at all. Interesting if that reality check makes our season or sets us back. Would be a good GF match up in my opinion but we will need Slug Jones available to possibly reverse the outcome.
The Royals definitely had their fair share on the ball. Kicked it very well in the reserves and league. Plenty of pace. But I think if subi can win enough clearances they can win overall.
