Re: West Coast

I guess their board has to ‘do something’. This is getting really serious.

Re: West Coast

Swans have now kicked over 200 points.

I am not looking forward to playing them on August 20

Re: West Coast

The strongest club in the AFL in terms of financials etc is really struggling to put a competitive team on the park.

Hard to know if they should just stick with it until the end of the season or make a coaching change but it's probably not going to make much difference.

Now I can't tell if you guys have missed the joke or are in on the joke or if it's just not a good joke.

Fold em up and send them to Tassie.

You know where you do that thing where you think you're almost finished an assignment and going to bed at a reasonable hour and then all of a sudden Powerpoint f**ks you over and you spend an ungodly amount of hours trying to fix the problem you never knew you had and then get to bed in the AMs and then a 7 year old lands on you before 6am and your ability to comprehend information the next day is somewhat impaired? Currently suffering from that. [slaps forehead]

Re: West Coast

I don?t understand them going all in on Naughton. Seems the exact opposite move they need right now. I like the hypothetical scenarios that throws up for discussion, but they need to rebuild and going after expensive contracted high value trades seems not something I?d like as a supporter of theirs. Especially the loose rumours of Pick 1 somehow involved. Surely it?s all baseless rumour as surely they just need to slowly rebuild.

Shhhhhhh

Ha ha. I love how you didn't tell me which one it was and now I'll be awake all night thinking about it and the longer I do the shittier the joke will seem in my mind.

Re: West Coast

The big mark against them is that their 'best' mids played yesterday.
Yeo, Shouey, Kelly & Duggan were all part of that team yesterday. Kelly is absolutely trying his heart out.

Re: West Coast

Adam has full backing of the board

Chair's message from Paul FitzpatrickBy Paul Fitzpatrick - 4 hrs ago


Yesterday?s defeat at the Sydney Cricket Ground was one of the darkest days in the history of the football club.


Losing in the way that we did to Sydney was unacceptable. The 171-point margin aside, what we produced on the field was not representative of what the West Coast Eagles has stood ? and still stands ? for.


We know our members and fans are hurting and so is everyone inside the football club. We all take a degree of responsibility for where we sit currently and equally we are all committed to fighting our way through this situation.


It is important to get games into young players and fast track their development. We had nine players under the age of 21 take the field against the Swans and we expect them to be very good AFL players.


But we need our senior players to set a better example for them. With a couple of exceptions many of the experienced players were well down yesterday.


Obviously Adam Simpson and his coaching staff have been limited with what they can do with such a long injury list, but regardless we cannot tolerate performances of that nature and we expect a strong response against St Kilda next Sunday.


We do have faith that Adam can take this team forward and we also believe in the path we need to take to fight our way back.


It will take time because the long-term strategy revolves around bringing in more high-end young talent through the draft to lay solid foundations for the next era.


In closing, we do hear you and we urge you to stick with us through this. We need you more than ever. It will turn because everyone at the club is prepared to roll up their sleeves and get it done.


We can do it together.
