Surely King's health cannot have been a factor, all reports are that the collapse was nothing life threatening and the most likely cause was dehydration and/or fatigue.
I cannot imagine the selection panel thought "oh no he didn't drink enough water, he isn't head coach material."
I don't think the club would've appointed McQualter just to get Baker and Graham. McQualter would've just been the best candidate based off the interviews etc and it just happens that Baker and Graham are now happy to confirm West Coast as their club of choice. I'm sure they would've probably...
Interesting theory to say that the derby is WCE's GF considering they've actually won real GF's meanwhile its Fremantle and their fans who celebrate derby wins as if they've won a flag..
If not Simmo then I'd like to see Don Pyke coaching West Coast. He did a pretty good job at Adelaide which ended due to the after effects of their camp which I don't really think was his fault. If they want to have a fresh face who hasn't been a head coach at AFL level I'd like to see someone...
It's been a pretty rough year in terms of injuries and having to field half a WAFL team in the AFL most weeks, and I can't imagine any coach anywhere could've done much in those circumstances, but maybe it's time for change and a new voice/new gameplan etc might be what we need. Plus, despite...
Hopefully the Eagles can get up but to be honest this is absolutely setting up to be exactly like the aftermath of the Richmond game last season.
Young kids pull off a gutsy win and then the big names come back for the next game and we just turn to a lazy looking mess.
Hopefully this time...
Have to say I am very impressed by Naish so far. Works hard and seems to have decent pace but his ball skills and decision making have been awesome. Those aggressive kicks through the corridor to break a defense open are what we've been lacking over the last couple of years so if he can keep...
This comment is not allowed. It's showing common sense.
Although despite that, I still think Collingwood should have won the game. We did have some quality players back, but they still haven't played together this season or strung together any continuity yet, so match sharpness and cohesion...
Started playing this yesterday for the first time since I had it as a disc years ago.
Started at Gold Coast in the 2011 season as their inaugural coach, first thing I did: Hire Ben Cousins as a specialist coach. :laughing:
Pretty crappy call this. Looking at all the reaction to that game from the media and neutral fans you'd think North lost it. West Coast gave a hell of a fight with a depleted team and just about could've won if it wasn't for some missed opportunities. So what's there to get over? A bunch of our...
