West Coast Eagles 2024: A Symphony of Subpar and the Descent into Oblivion
In 16th place, we find the West Coast Eagles—a team that managed to turn a season of low expectations into a masterclass in underachievement. If you thought the bar for a pass mark was already lower than the Titanic, the Eagles somehow found a way to dive even deeper.
The Coach's Exit
The season began with a seismic shake-up as the Eagles parted ways with their head coach, Adam Simpson, affectionately known as Simmo. His departure was as inevitable as a seagull stealing your chips at the beach, yet it still sent shockwaves through the club. Enter Don Pyke, the Crows reject, whose tenure was marked by a lack of direction and inspiration. The leadership vacuum left behind was palpable, and the team floundered without a steady hand at the helm.
Harley Reid: A Fleeting Beacon
Amidst the gloom, Harley Reid emerged as the lone bright spot—a beacon of hope in an otherwise dismal landscape. His performances provided a glimpse of what the future could hold, but let's not get too attached. Rumor has it, Reid's heart is already set on Geelong, and in two years, he might be donning the blue and white hoops, leaving Eagles fans with nothing but memories and a sense of what could have been. Alongside Reid, young talent like Waterman showed promise, but it was not enough to lift the team from the depths of despair.
The Titanic Bar
The expectations for 2024 were modest, to say the least. The pass mark was set so low that even a limbo champion would struggle to get under it. Yet, the Eagles managed to underperform spectacularly. Their season was a series of subpar performances, lack of effort, and moments that left fans shaking their heads in disbelief.
A Season of Missed Opportunities
From poor on-field performances to off-field dramas, the Eagles' 2024 campaign was a textbook example of how not to run a football club. The lack of cohesion, direction, and accountability was evident at every level. The higher up you ventured in the club, the less accountability you found. It was as if the leadership had taken a collective vow of invisibility, leaving players and fans alike to fend for themselves.
Reasonable Summary
In the end, the West Coast Eagles' 2024 season was a cautionary tale of missed opportunities and unfulfilled potential. They had the chance to rebuild, to set a new course, and to rise from the ashes. Instead, they sank further into the abyss. But with every low comes the potential for a high. As the Eagles look to 2025, the goal is simple: to rise above the mediocrity, to find their footing, and to give their loyal fans something to cheer about. A finish in the middle of the pack—somewhere in the 10-14 range—would be a step in the right direction.

I think I'm going to do one or two more tonight and then have the long weekend off to go camping on the South Coast. Footy's a tough business and I need to get my head together and work out what went wrong with my team.
So who do you guys want to see next?

Roaring Disappointment: The Richmond Tigers’ 2024 Saga
Ah, the Richmond Tigers—a team that once soared like a caffeinated eagle, only to crash-land in a field of mediocrity. Their tale is a symphony of missed opportunities, dashed dreams, and more twists than a pretzel at a yoga retreat.

Roaring Disappointment: The Richmond Tigers’ 2024 Saga
Ah, the Richmond Tigers—a team that once soared like a caffeinated eagle, only to crash-land in a field of mediocrity. Their tale is a symphony of missed opportunities, dashed dreams, and more twists than a pretzel at a yoga retreat.
The Rise and the Relapse
Remember when Richmond burst forth in 2017, strutting like a peacock with a new feather boa? “We’re here!” they declared, louder than a foghorn at a library. But fast-forward to 2024, and the Tigers resemble a deflated balloon at a party no one remembers. The meteoric rise? It’s now a distant constellation, and the old Richmond—the one we secretly loved to mock—has returned. And honestly, we’re relieved.Subpar Performances: A Tragicomedy
Under their new coach (who, let’s face it, might have been plucked from a hat labeled “Desperate Measures”), Richmond peddled the idea of regrouping. But as the great philosopher once mused, “They had a good run.” Two wins—one against Sydney (a cosmic anomaly) and another against the Adelaide Crows (who, let’s be honest, are about as soulless as a spreadsheet). “Honorable Losses” became their specialty, like a baker who excels at burnt croissants. And those heavy defeats? Well, they hit harder than a freight train made of anvils.The System That Went AWOL
Richmond’s failure isn’t just a one-season fluke; it’s a sonnet of systemic shortcomings. They forgot to build a longevity machine, a contraption that would keep them in the contender conversation. Meanwhile, Geelong sips champagne in their penthouse suite, laughing at Richmond’s DIY cardboard fort.Exodus, Stars, and Struggles
As the season curtain falls, the Tigers face a mass exodus. Their greatest star? Gone, like a magician’s rabbit into the hat of retirement. And that high-profile forward? Well, they’re more elusive than a unicorn at a hide-and-seek championship.The Long and Winding Road Ahead
Optimism? Sure, we’ve got some stashed away, like emergency chocolate in a desk drawer. But truth be told, it’s a long road ahead. We squint into the future, and it looks like a blurry painting by a nearsighted artist. Can we see them winning a game next season? Not without a telescope. Years from now, the once-mighty Tigers might rise again, but for now, they’re hibernating like grumpy bears.Bottom Dwelling in 2025? Highly Likely
Let’s not kid ourselves. The Tigers might need a treasure map to find their way out of the cellar next year. But hey, every phoenix needs a nap before it bursts into flames again.Similar threads
