Elimination Final 2024

seeing as no-one is home

gee some of the ball skills are sketchy from both sides but Claremont are making the most of their chances so far

Claremont do cough up the footy.But move the ball really quickly back to fwd.Difficult to beat on a warmer type spring day.
Ressies and Colts also in contention for Claremont.Such a strong Wafl club

mate there are some awful skills on show today
compared to yesterday’s good skills in far poorer weather
no excuses either

that’s the ballgame
all over now

Southerner .Claremonts disposal by foot was,under 45% at ht.
But they might challenge Peel,Swans+ EP on a warmer day.They look like a team of midfielders all over the ground.Rotating flankers and pockets through the midfield.Thats how they keep that fast tempo game up.And probably have another half a dozen that can step up from the lower grades.

yes mate it got worse after that too I’d say 40% at the end
but ugly got it done way way way too easily in this game

Claremont would not want to play like that again next week or they will punished with all those VFL listers

Can’t fault Claremont’s pressure today - 80 plus tackles despite having more possession of the ball. East Fremantle picked a bad day to have a bad day - would not have beaten Perth the way we played today .

we were bloody surprised at how poor the skills were all day
how Claremont won by that much is a bit of a mystery

It’s not a trait I would normally associate with a Tigers side,but like Swans yesterday,they are playing a very physical tough contested brand of football,and with experienced players like Bolton and Rogers leading the way,they are looking very hungry and dangerous,and won a little bit too comfortably today for my liking.

and they did that with Bolton not 100% fit - definitely not the normal you’re used to seeing

If Claremont take the same pressure to Mandurah they will certainly be in it one must think. Will be interesting to see how the Peel/Docker cohort responds to yesterday’s performance - they had nearly as many passengers yesterday as the EFFC had today.

A strange display from the sharks today. Just couldn’t get their shit together, no matter how hard they tried.

Yep,I didn’t totally discount the Tigers chances today,and although I gave your side the slight edge,they really put this game to bed halfway through the second quarter,and replicated what they had done to us a few weeks ago,which was to tackle the opposition into the ground,where like us,your mob struggled to respond to that constant pressure,and if they bring that same intensity to Peel,they are going to be very hard to toss.

The Sharks had a shocker today.Stats wise every second Claremont kick doesn’t hit a team mate.Lots of chaos balls going fwd.
Can see Peel using a floating intercept marker down back v Claremont.
