How to bring a premiership to WA

[kuepper]

Pudding head? Moi?

ok, you got me at pudding head - thats gold.

Anyway, lets do this.

Can any other west coast supporter who reads this board, please post agreeance if they think having freo nobbles their beloved team, and if so, explain how they think it is the case.

Fair enough?

As it stands, I think the basic concepts of how you think this uber team will be developed under the contraints of the draft is beyond you - so lets see if someone else understands.

PS at least that annoying "but wait there is more!" tool did actually have more, not the same **** over and over again.

PPS - touché is an expression used to convey an agreement or understanding among said parties - hence the lack of me using it around you, my argumentally challenged friend.

What about the WAFL?

If WA sides want to fly the premiership flag in the near future, we're going to have to do something about the WAFL. I'm probably not the expert, living in Melbourne but my observation is that the WAFL is simply not of a high enough standard to prepare our blokes (I'm from the West and a WCE supporter) for the rough and tumble of AFL. Watching Macca on Saturday against the crows, I wondered how he managed to kick seven goals for Subiaco a few weeks prior? Even if we account for the fact that Subi's opponents were Peel Thunder, it still doesn't say much for the WAFL!!

If we want to win Premierships we're going to have to improve the depth of our list. It's going to be hard to do this if we're relying on the WAFL to develop the skills of our fringe players. I'm sorry to say, that I don't have the answers, but I hope that this something that WCE will look at.

Needless to say, there's nothing we can do about Freo. Wether we like it or not, there here to stay. The best we can do is to keep'em quiet by teaching them a football lesson next time we meet them at Subiaco. Go Coasters Go!

I Disagree. Sure, WA only produced one standout player in last years National Draft with pick 2 (Daniel Wells), but that was more a one off than anything else... A good Western Australian based side should be able to win 11 of 12 games at home, and at least 6 of the 10 interstate games, giving it the best chance to finish in a top two position and well placed to win the premiership.

Well formed opinion and that's how I like it. I don't mind to be wrong when different opinions against my views are put forward in an intelligent manner. However, examples of one or two years where we supplanted SA in the national draft may not prove that WA is at the same level of SA in the "production" of great players. I reckon that should be measured in a 5 or 10 years period. I don't know. Just a thought.

In any case, my point is that given the huge distances we are from all the main cities in Australia and the high demand for constant travel to "the other side of the continent", more than any other state we need a fantastic team, of highly committed players, to compensate for the physical and mental exhaustion of players who have to travel very long distances every two weeks. Other than that, in my opinion we are condemned to have two good teams that may make the finals often enough to keep us occupied with the thought that one day we will win another premiership.

Re: Pudding head? Moi?

The creation of Freo destroyed our grand plan of dominating football through the exclusive use of WAFL Father-Son picks until the second generation of the 1992 premiership team came up to speed.

And we would have gotten away with it too, if it wasn't for those pesky kids.

As far as I am concerned I haven't lost an argument with you ever, which by the way isn't that difficult, given the cr@p that you often spell in this board. You come here talking rubbish, ridiculously indicting others of being "conspiracy theorists" for everything that you don't like and using the word "touché" right and left to prove that you're a smooth guy with dash. Let me be very clear. We are not here to comply with your likes and dislikes and won't be intimidated by your fake and egghead way of operating in this board. As for being your friend, believe me. I don't have friends like you. My friends are nicer and smarter than you.

Oh c'mon, dont be nasty ... some of it is quality rubbish, soem fo it witty rubbish, and some is well total ****.

Rubbish by itself, just doesn't do me justice.

Thats not nice either, you are the only fellow I have ever called that, from memory - I think I also made some jovial remark about you checking for russians under the bed at night, if I recall correctly - I mean damn, that's quality stuff.

Touché me, in fact.

and using the word "touché" right and left to prove that you're a smooth guy with dash.

Damn, scratch the above will you?

Let me be very clear.

Please do, a refreshing change.

Damn, dos this mean my pint of James Squires Pale Ale isnt being sent electronically? well thats ****ed.

and won't be intimidated by your fake and egghead way of operating in this board.

Well if you are just going to all me names, then I may be forced to run and tell my Dad, he'll get mad at bullies.

As for being your friend, believe me. I don't have friends like you. My friends are nicer and smarter than you.

Well that's a relief.

Anyway, enough about me.

This topic, I have thought long and hard, and consulted with a learned and intelligent members of this board, who bored and/or ignored me, then luckily Ozzult appeared and pointed out something, that a single team town would have the advantage of reclaiming any players returning home.

Aha! I exclaimed - good point. However, the one issue would be affording these players, see: Chick and Headland last year - they don't come cheap.

So whilst i can seea small steap ahead there, I am still awaiting a reasonable and sensible post regardiong how, and why Freo crippled West Coast.

lets not use emotive language (I mean pudding head? nastypants.) and lets not get personal, and if you are really lucky, and I see some validity, there may be a little touché loving come your way too.

Im too kind sometimes, arent I?

First of all your posts are terrible and almost unreadable. This isn't usenet where you can quote in a legible way each and every passage. As for not being personal, there is no other way with you. You're not the type of person to be reasoned with in an intelligent way. You are a manipulator but only to those who can't see through the fog you create in your pathetic attempts to murk the environment. But now you're even worse. You're pitiably trying to beg the help of ozzult. I can already hear

"Please ozzult help me in this fight ! Pleeease

You can't even stand in your feet. You need the help of others. At least you could ask a Dockers fan for help. But no ! You're now trying to manipulate our board so that Eagles supporters go against each other. You're nothing but a phony little person who aspires to be taken seriously. Go and beg for help in another place because here you're not welcome.

 

[kuepper]

Um mate, Ozzult's point actually helped your arguement.

I saw the validity and agreed that it was salient, so was actually acknowledging a small point that I had overlooked.

Anyway, it has been a pleasure as always, good to see you a man of conviction, albeit the conviction is ****ed.

I notice from the crickets chirping in the background, and the lone cough in the distance as the only noise, that everyone else is being rather silent in their backing of your idea, why the heck is that?

oh and this:

You're nothing but a phony little person who aspires to be taken seriously.

Is a cracker.

Thanks for laugh, been a pleasure as always.

You always say there is silence when I'm up against your fudging performances in this board. What do you want ? A cheer squad ? As for your laugh you mean your silly smirk don't you ? No pleasure here. Just a sense of duty to keep you from manipulating this forum.

Curse you Freo, curse you to hell!

Geonet, do you propose the AFL merge West Coast and Fremantle, then give the club the best five WA players each year? Man, that'll make things fair!

Hitman, believe it or not, but my posts aren't against Fremantle. At the moment they are exactly in the same predicament as the Eagles. When the idea of a second club in this state was first mentioned, I was immediatelly against it and I didn't even know they had Fremantle in mind. I felt at the time that, that would mean the end of our capacity to fight for premierships. And I haven't changed my view since then. On the contrary, my conviction in that regard grows with each passing year and everytime we're kicked out of the finals in the first week. I'm just stating what to me, seems obvious and that is that the chances of our two clubs to win a premiership in the near future are slim. For that to happen, one or the other team needs more than just a good team. In my view it's necessary an outstanding team, made of a majority of quality and commited WA players, which given the conditions we are in, is almost impossible to achieve. The rest of my position has been stated over and over again in previous posts. Cheers.
