FWIW it is 100% correct of some issues in the club.

Gov and Kelly’s huge contracts have caused a lot of financial grief and there are issues amongst the club with Simmo and his reluctance to change some things up.

That said there is excitement about the appointments of Schofield and Knights

Source: Current player

This is from Duffield so take it with as many grains of salt as you like;

Recently on his podcast he said that when McFatty got his huge deal Yeo changed his manager. At the time he had the same manager as Gov, but has since returned to him, so whatever...

 

[daddy_4_eyes]

Do we really owe him $ if he is walking out on the club? Sheesh.

“I don’t want to be here but please continue to pay me, bye”

Truth is he can hold us to ransom.
Drinks, parties, sits on his arse on the oval eating Hungry Jacks during training, etc. A contract is a contract, club can't terminate him for being unfit and shit during training drills.

Extreme example, but outcome not much different than a player who doesn't try but turns up anyway to get his $180k base salary.

 

[Dark Sharks]

What an odd year this has been for West Coast as an organisation.

It would be a breach of contract though. You cant just not turn up and expect to be paid.

 

[bombard]

I mean sure, but the hilariousness of today on the board almost makes up for it.

 

[Obeanie1]

I'm not sure anyone would be surprised though? That'll take Simmo to the end of his contract, a 10? year tenure. Kangas will have loaded up on talent and he might be lured back to where it all began.

Concerning for me is how Schoey and Simmo work together and how productive Simmo can be if he's looking over his shoulder.

And we also have Graham wanting to move to Freo with a year on his contract.

So why does he want out early?

 

[Truckosaurus]

He wants a senior gig and has received feedback that only having one club on his resume is a disadvantage?

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

And we also have Graham wanting to move to Freo with a year on his contract.

For the same reason Schofield wanted to leave Port with a year on his contract - got a better offer?

 

[flamingEMBERS]

Hopefully with all this offseason change we can delist the club Chaplin. It’s extremely Embarrassing we have one.

The reigning premiers have one on their coaching staff.

We have loads and loads of random roles, and yet no ****ing tackling coach.

 

[FKASC]

It’s unfortunate that McGovern’s fat $6m contract seems to be causing issues at the club, given since getting that contract he’s been:

• Suspended for pushing Guelfi into the fence
• Suspended for punching Sexton
• Fined for tripping Thomas

Would like to see him be a better leader

To be fair the Guelfi one was a complete ****ing stitch up though

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Seems like Cameron is the one tearing up his contract, not the club.

If you want your payout, stay and earn it.

How embarrassing that some on the list have faith in their lives or need to speak to someone outside of the coaching staff.

 

[new breed]

Free agency starts Friday , doubtful WCE will be involved actually no chance .
Should start Trade Week same day .

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

How embarrassing that some on the list have faith in their lives or need to speak to someone outside of the coaching staff.

And I highly doubt the club chaplain is being paid out of the soft cap.

What a non-issue to focus on.

We are on a mission frøm God!

 

[Farang83150]

Rotham pens three-year contract extension

One of the Eagles' emerging defenders has committed to the club until the end of 2024

www.westcoasteagles.com.au

Hahahaha what timing.

Was he in Adelaide when he re-signed...

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

And he wants to be delisted so he can sign with Brisbane as a Delisted FA? ipso facto we get fu** all

Not saying that they are, but if Brisbane are interested we should make them trade for him even if we don't get much in return.

 

[bombard]

We've spent the last few weeks immersed in board politics, and now we're moving onto a discussion of God in the club.

OFFSEASON BOARDING GONE WILD

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

Sack Vardy

 

[Priddis Is Done]

Cameron, no loss there.

All the talent but little application.

 

[MerryHell]

t is a good thing Rotham won that race. Basically certain that $5000 prize money is going to sustain him until 2025 when we can afford to pay him something/anything.

Didn't he immediately donate the $5k to a charity? Sorry to poop on all the contract jokes...

 

[WestCoast05]

Would only agree if noone avails themselves of the service he provides.

Im guessing by the fact he is actually there then he is of use to a number of players - and that's their right as free men to believe in whatever they want.
