TOPIC:

Yeah pretty much my thoughts. What do they do to your percentage if you forfeit, does anyone know? Nuggets is right, how can you construct a series of events that would result in PFC victory???

Maybe in the lead up to the game we could have a series of posts re whether ex PFC player Tim Sutherland should play or not? The subi boys love typing his name for some reason.

I thought it would be much closer given our outs of Heal, Newton, Kennedy, Powell, Wheeler to name a few but then that was offset to some extent by WCER losing Waterman, Petrocelli, Schofield and so on. Our backs were outstanding and they're so well organised week in week out. Having the likes of Lockyer, Litherland and Marsh down there really makes a difference. Dela was just Dela...comprehensively beaten in the ruck but had it over 30 times around the ground and was probably BOG for mine. Interesting that Rhys Waters played in the midfield and did reasonably well...so that gives us another string to our midfield bow. Horse, Kitch, Walters, Cleggett, T E-B, Soks, Borchet and Braut all very good. All in all a good team effort. A special mention to the 2 debutants in Stainsby and Atkinson who I thought acquitted themselves well. Young Stainsby is very hard at it and attacks the ball full on and is not afraid to run off his man which is fantastic for a 19 yo. All the blokes who've come through from last years ressies in Borchet, Cleggett, Braut, Fullgrabe, T E-B and Leach are all doing a terrific job and covering the loss of more experienced players superbly.

Well you can't beat that, named as first ruck, played as first ruck and comprehensively beaten and probably BOG.

Subi are not bound by even the laws of physics mate so being beaten and best on not a problem.

I'll spell it out for you as clearly you can't grasp the simplest of concepts...given Dela was giving away 6cms at most ruck stoppages, he conceded the ruck tap and just contested on almost every occasion but impacted around the ground more than the WCER's ruckmen combined. He virtually plays as a ruck rover who takes taps but doesn't generally try to win too many. There, are you all good now?

No apparently I can't, lucky the Subiaco posters are as dynamic and skilled as their players. Much too thoughtful and considered regarding concepts etc than others, the bloke got picked to play a position - got comprehensively beaten in your learned Subiaco opinion and subsequently is obviously best on ground.
Sites such as this are fortunate to have the football uneducated guided by someone such as yourself - self confessed, self appointed guru of pointing out 'the simplest of concepts', as you see them.

Yep...I agree with everything you've said.

Of course you would - that was the whole point.

Can't argue with that...well said.

Quite obvious to me having watched the game.
Delahunty got smashed in tap outs.
But was clearly close to if not best on ground.
His work at clearances and around the ground were first class.
One of the things we lack, a ruckman that can really put his stamp on the game.
Maybe the luminary can tell us who was best on ground if it wasn't Delahunty.
