Autopsy Negatives vs Hawthorn

[EagleEgo]

This massive loss has brought North Melbourne as our next competitor! Rumour about Hawthorn will be punished on draft pick might be true.

 

[The_Eagles]

I really want the lottery to come in, feeling sanguine about Harley Reid coming in is schizophrenic after seeing the scoreline

 

[Bold Barrass]

one positive is the bye is now closer !

 

[Lia]

Just saying sack the coach is the easy way out, way bigger issues with S&C and footy admin.

 

[TheGhostOfJohnBelushi]

Positives
We won't lose in Round 14

Is that our bye week?

Assets don't = Cashflow

30+ mill of it is literal cash. 40 mill is a stock portfolio which can be sold into cash in 10 seconds.

The sad thing is the 100 mill we talk about having is a complete lie. Its way more then that.

The floggings will continue until moral improves.

the word is morale

Rotham, Edwards, West, Xon, and Clarke will never be good enough, Jamieson doesn't look like it either. Gaff should retire while he still has a modicum of dignity.
Jones was going ok when he got injured.
Sheed was good, Kelly kept trying but he gets no help around the ball which makes it tough.
Foley wasn't shocking. Long did a couple of nice things as he does.

Keeping some old blokes around to guide the youngsters isn't much of a strategy when all the old blokes are sitting in the stands.
Much as it is tempting to join the sack everyone crowd I don't think that will achieve much at this stage.

Are you seriously arguing the club doesn't have money coming out of the wazoo?

 

[Matsu]

Where is GoEagles? We need a shinning light in this bitter darkness.

CAP space, chief. It falls into the cap. All the outside $$$ in the world won’t protect you.

"The League announced the soft cap will increase by $500,000 in 2023 and $250,000 a year later, meaning it will kick in at $7.2 million in 2024."

Seems like the perfect time to do it actually.

 

[Evil Eagle]

Lowest ever West Coast Eagles score against Hawthorn. Are there any other unwanted records this team can break. This rabble has another 13 games to do so. There are no positives.

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Nah I think he means moral

Gotta have zero morals to play like that

 

[Mop]

SOFT CAP chief

… I’m not sure what you’re trying to get across here, champion?

We breach it and it’s multiplied or we sack people to cover it.

We’re an AFL supported club so Simpson would be due a max $500,000 payout I believe.

What’s the better outcome?

Seriously - I’m perfectly happy to see him go, but at the expense of $500k of staff? Not so much

Sheed was good. The time off appears to have been good for him.

I saw him immediately behind Newcombe in a centre bounce in the 2nd quarter and he literally stopped, just stopped still and watched him waltz away uncontested from a centre bounce... I finding it difficult to get past that.
He was our best but I reckon I won't give him a vote because of that. Problem is, from what I can tell, he wasn't dragged and therein lies one of the many issues this club has.

No, I'm saying that just because you have $100m in assets, it doesn't mean you have spare cash laying around.

 

[ConcreteWaters]

+ve- gonna save myself the monthly kayo fee after that.

No words at how low the club has sunk. I know we're paying for 5-6 years of contending and a flag, but wow. You do look at the decisions (not letting gaff go, holding out with brander in the Kelly deal, big money contracts for players who've since struggled to get on the park etc) and we've really been on the bad end of most of them.

I'm getting 2014 PTSD of Isis videos right here...

I half expect to see "Captured by ISIS - TBC" on our injury list this year.

 

[chaddy22]

Looking at this it will be the better part of a decade before we are playing finals again. The club off field, something is completely rotten, I'm not sure any of us can point to what it is but issues are more than injuries.

On field it's going to be pain. The older guys won't be there, the kids are mostly crap unfortunately, and stuck in the middle we have Allen wondering what he is doing with his career.

we moved in with Perth at lathlain and the cancer is growing.

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

No, I'm saying that just because you have $100m in assets, it doesn't mean you have spare cash laying around.

The assets are broken into divisions in our financial reports though so its not hidden

30 mill in cash, 40 mill in stock, 30 mill for like Mineral Resources Park etc

Actually it's worse. AFL doesn't own the licence, so WCE would need to pay him out the full 2.5 years and not the 6 month clause like all the other clubs, bar Freo, get.

Not you mate, #goeagles

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

From 2020

And thats not including profit since. We actually made money during COVID remember because our investments went up by more then our losses

 

[Get_The_Gaff]

If we don't win another game this season we will be 7 wins from 57 games from round 10 2021 .

Thats a diabolical fall
