News Media Thread, 2023: Insightful, Inciteful and Incomptent

[Flarn Rarn]

Sounds like the club is owed a thank you from De Goey and Pies supporters

This is one of the weakest arguments you could possibly make. Literally anybody who ends up at the tribunal has dealt with intense media scrutiny and criticism because of it. If De Goey was entitled to a discount as a result, then everybody is.

Up there with the Luke Hodge Good Bloke discount.

 

[Cornelius Roy]

Truly laughable - poor didims!

Lol, there was absolutely no outside commentary when gaff slugged brayshaw. Radio silence from all until the tribunal judgement was made.

When Gaff hit Brayshaw everyone was celebrating saying we can't win a flag without him

It’s true though Luke is a good bloke

What an enlightening back and forth this is.

Yeah nah

This week really highlights how poor the club is performing off and on field.

1. DeGoey tweet and subsequent apology.
2. Sheeds comments about possible suspension & reported apology.
3. Duggan’s appeal then non-appeal. If the club felt him not guilty - ****n appeal and wave the flag for one of your players. Illness is not relevant in this case.
4. Players failure to fly flag with DeGoey and now I hear Longs wrestle with three pies.
5. Schofield’s rightful highlighting of failure to fly flag.
6. Now NN getting specialist opinion - after mid-season draft.
7. Burgeils hamstrings.

Turns Sundays 63point loss into a highlight really.

The ship is sinking and some serious repair work is needed.

Even the Chief commented on it last night on 360.
Said it was pretty much ridiculous getting a week off for pleading guilty and showing remorse.

 

[VicBased]

Well, the Eagles gone down and now everybody's plucking it.

 

[DanWCE]

I hope Simmo prints that article from Schoey and hangs it in the team meeting room. Or even better gets him to address the side.

Schoey attended a little shindig for Sheed over the weekend and said several players were filthy at their lack of reaction and response.

Gonna be interesting to see which oppo team next decides to heck around and find out

WA broadcaster believes Naitanui has played his last AFL game

“I don’t think Nic Naitanui will play again, I’ll say that.”

Yeah I think the players claiming they didn’t see anything when there’s the biggest screen in the Southern Hemisphere showing replays and the crowd going off might be a bit of a furphy.

Only one thing left to do now.

Trade him to Geelong.

#6 is what annoys me the most. Club absolutely stuffing up another rehab and not admitting it until it costs us something else ... like a free Naismith to do some rucking for us.

You mean the same Naismith that has probably an even more extensive injury history than NN and is over 30yo?

Rucks dont grow on trees. He's fit now and playing well. Cant ask for more than that. We lose nothing

Is he playing as well as Bailey Williams? because Naismith's career averages don't match up to the year Williams is having currently, so he'd be playing in the 2s.

That's neither worth it for WCE for 6 months, nor for him, because drafting a 30yo, injury-prone, ruckman in the MSD is exactly what we don't want to be doing.

It's done and gone now but instead of putting this behind us, I hope they use this as a learning experience and something they look back on over the next few years as we not only rebuild a squad but a new team culture.

"We'll learn from this. The players will grow and build their brand" A. Simpson presser

Behind closed doors I hope he has taken to them all with a rubber chicken.
