I’ll say it again how the hell does Barich still have a gig after all this time when he is a thick as two bricks….

Anyone who thinks he is any good go and find his grass eating comments at Simpsons press conference… he should have been told to give himself an uppercut.

The West are really plumbing the depths now

If you check the comments on Facebook re that article, 90% of people commenting were ripping into the song.

The song is the curse IMO things started going down hill with that. Change that and break the curse. Maybe the didgeridoo at the start is bad juju

 

[Forward Press]

Have we considered a witch doctor to transfer our curse to a doll that resembles Nat Fyfe?

Didge is never bad juju.

Didge is never bad juju.

It can be, for example it is bad Juju for a female to play the Didge. May be other didge jujus

Yeah it was a dumb as dogshit comment, could see Simmo wanting to be a little more honest with him about it but had to go down the tactful route.

At the 17.40 mark.

Bloody embarrassing.

 

[Kapowie1]

The club would budget for him to play all 22 games is my thinking.

Yeah but had they budgeted to be paying 15 injured players their match fees on top of the match fees for the blokes who replace them. Instead of paying 23 each week we are paying nearly 40?

Watson and Reid on 360

Reid's a confident young fella.
Would love to get him.

He's got swagger!

You know you're going bad when the "Complulsory Viewing" segment on 360 is how the WA media will react if we lose to the Suns.

I don't think many expect us to win so it won't be a big shock.

That rag of a paper is an embarrassment.

Thought it was weird 360 ran with the tag line "How dire will it be if West Coast loses at home to Gold Coast?" (or words to that effect), then moments later showed us as $3.50 outsiders.... Soo.... Not that dire?

Creating a narrative that doesn't at all relate to our current ladder position, form, player availability, or the Suns current competitiveness.

Yep

Could understand if we were favourites.
Even Dermie said "The Eagles aren't winning this one".

The West has become a laughing stock.

 

[CountryLad]

If you look at it from the perspective that we're the only club not to have a 10 game losing streak, we do need to win one of our next four, plus the one against North at home later in the season.

I feel to get Harley Reid we need to plumb new depths of suck. The melts if we do may only be beaten by the melts if we don't. Either way it should be spectacular.

Yeah I’m in the melt if we don’t suck enough corner. We suck as it is so might as well position ourselves the best we can for the trade/draft period.

 

[wirra44]

Hahah Damian Barrett didn’t just have a crack at us in our if and then he had a sly dig at us on Richmond and the Gold Coast ones too quite comical

It's going to require something special to out-suck Hawthorn and North. Last season was the worst we've ever been and we still got pipped by North, who are just that much more experienced at sucking. Hawthorn look to be willing to put the effort in to finish last.

Is it possible to suck that badly without being obvious about it?

If we get pick 1 I'd like it to be on merit, rather than a deliberate attempt by the club. We're a decent chance to get there on merit, but I'd hate it if we started playing guys out of position late in matches or resting players for home games.

Only used West Coast Witches Hats 3 times.

I trust the boys are up to it

It’s quite humerus, sounds like someone at the club has pissed him off , I sense a lot of hate in it

"Suck enough corner "...TF does that mean?
