No pod this week, but written report below, also enjoy one of our favourite pods:   Nick    Injury crisis - Taranto, Ross, Short - around 40% of salary cap injured (both quality and quantity, young, old and mid career players) Great start (again) Opposition string of unanswered goals (again) McAuliffe flashes Lefau showed power and some forward craft in air and on ground, tough match up, has big hands even for 195cm Dow - needed more Almost Jack 2010 levels of dependency on Shai Baker in very good form Young/Miller step back from last week Eagles young brigade damaging - Yeo, McGovern, Kelly, Duggan Wanted more from Brown and Campbell Nice to see Steely warm up with team as emergency as part of large WA contingency Loved Vlossy’s hanger  VFL competitive but undermanned away vs good Werribee team (lacked any AFL listed onballers) Ryan v.good as fwd/ruck, Naismith dominating fwiw Kaleb Smith good without being dominant Glad for the bye   Andy    TT going out felt like one of the last foundational supports being lost, I was surprised that we were still relatively strong favourites at the bounce   The game was clearly lost in the midfield -23 in clearances, -7 in centre clearances and -21 in inside 50s. As discussed in the preview, WCE actually has a mature and talented midfield.  Injuries obviously a disaster: the entire starting midfield, both key forwards, CHB and in-game injury to short. All 5 of our last B&F winners.  Stat nerds like us generally believe that over the long run clubs have the same amount of injury 'luck', however, this year is testing the belief.  Judson injury after being sent back on with a obviously injured leg is a terrible look, whatever the truth of the matter.  Bye doesn't help that much, maybe Hopper and Grimes a possibility. Lynch's return date remains 10-12 weeks away.   On the game  -Pity they didn't end the game after the Flossy mark, we were up by 4 goals at the time.  -Nice game from Lefau, hard to calibrate the future of a 25 YO, 4th game key position player playing on a team getting smashed in the midfield. But good on him for taking his chance.  -Nank was dominate in the rucks but it was for naught . 13 CPs too. Having a career best year in tackles, clearances and CPs -Dow hopefully not fully fit, because he's struggling otherwise. -MJR another solid game, great goal. Disposal, tackle and goal stats all up this year.  -Young and Miller struggled, exposed by the midfield struggles.  -Tougher day at the office for Brown as well. Only 7 touches. Kaps may be in trouble. Kosi not taking his chance. However, to finish on a high note: Flossy leads the league in total intercepts, also going at 88% (!) for 22 disposals a game. The early AA talk is justified.       

Do we do our best work after a loss? Maybe

Well that was a lot of fun

Shorter pod but still jammed full of pertinent facts. 

Sorting through the games, a little bit of good news and the statistics debate you didn't know you needed.

No pod this week, so sorry. A few reflections -Season has a hard reset after Lynch (our MVP) and Nank’s injury. Expectations have to change, but it’s an opportunity as well.  -Doggies game was lost on the key metrics, but the injuries give a good reason why we couldn’t kick on in the last. English delivered a big middle finger to the pod after last week’s slander by being BOG. -Trying to take the 2017 positive vibe. Lynch being out means we lose the easy dump kick down the line, but forward line is partly about opportunity and it forces the coaches to refresh and think anew.  -lots of debate about Taranto, however as many have said  by the hard data he’s actually been very good, including with his pressure. However, afl ratings (which include location tracking) don’t rate him, unusual to have this disparity. One to watch. -As a collective group midfield not getting it done in the centre square, 2 last in the league. -Shai back, Rioli great  -Cumby and Hugo 💪 -Tyler Young continues to get it done    -Judson’s first half made afl ratings melt, good pressure too -Dusty good overall  -Flossy’s intercept numbers down and turnovers up in the first four games, one to watch.  -VFL was disaster, Biggy, Bradkte injured, Steely was good, Bauer played behind ball some and played well, career high 18 -Swans missing plenty too, we are a chance, more to come 

Slightly delayed Pies wrap, then lots of forward-looking analysis including Kaps 150th

Well, that was a... strange win versus the Crows.  We run the game, VFL and preview the huge game verses the Pies.
