Mega Thread Non-Freo AFL Discussion 2024

What do you guys reckon of West Coasts draft picks? Hewett and Reid look alright to me but appears a few are questioning Ginbey (way too early) or its too difficult to gauge because they're such a poor team across the board?

All they are going to do with Reid is injure him and make him fat

 

[King Huskii]

West Coast eagles are embarrassing

Whose Kayo vision is Smokey?

These were their future….

I reckon less than 6 of the Eagles next prelim final team are playing (for the Eagles) today.

Lots of Freo fans in Rocko Wilksy.

Plenty of ferals north of the river!

I lived in Bower Road, Ethelton. Rough as guts. Didn't go through the gentrification/artification Fremantle did despite being a port city within a capital city.

 

[FD2646]

Just beautiful to watch the eagles play so terribly. Love it.

 

[FreoGirl]

Maybe they weren’t tanking for Reid and were genuinely shit.
WCEs might get second worst ever score ha ha

The “priority pick “ bs was mentioned again by the commentators. Just F right off. The draft is designed to “reward” the weaker sides. They won a flag in 2018 ! Stop compromising the draft FFS.

A plumber would struggle to clean all the shit out of WC atm.

They are all on a hiding to nothing those picks/kids with veterans checking it in on a weekly basis.

Throw in a losing culture that is developing there just going to learn bad habits.

I did say when Garlick said the next decade will be one to remember he was referring to West Coast being a basketcase.

The next 3-4 years Freo can make up some ground what young kids are going to follow a club with no hope. These days a lot of kids growing up jump on winners not loyalty to family/parents follow.

Freo can really tap into the new generation of fans in Perth if they can have a successful period while the Eagles are utter garbage.

We keep getting over 50k to our home games and our $ will build

It totally is

Agreed,
- they have key players injured
-They could have sped up their rebuild by splitting their number 1 pick
-They could have sacked their coach which normally improves immediate performance

They just want to continue to to suck so they get free hand outs

Ginbey smiling and laughing after getting smashed, they aren't even dissapointed when they get smashed anymore lol.

 

[FreoGirl]

I think WCE will have some of their young Victorians saying they want to go home.

Must be great not having the pressure to play with your heart

 

[Madas]

They don’t deserve one at all! The casino doesn’t give gamblers a case of money when someone loses everything through stupidity

They do encourage them to keep gambling though , but that’s another story

Sucked in WC
I’ll never get tired of watching them get flogged
I feel for their young players but I don’t have a shred of empathy for their supporters after the crap they have given us over the years

 

[FreoGirl]

How do you not make a point and sack the coach, unless they are after PPs. Geelong have managed to stay competitive and relevant with their older team.

He's literally known nothing else. He's won 1 game out of 20.

 

[Madas]

And their listeners were calling up to complain “we are losing because of the umpires” - very sad delusional boomers

Were they seriously ?!
Man they are next level

I think Ginbey will be quite a reasonable player for them. Reasonable skills and size with some aggression.

Eh? His kicking is suspect TSTL. Those two kicks on the run were terrible.

There’s going to be a lot of this

What a poor way to start a career. Most of those losses have been beltings as well.

 

[CakeEater]

Time to fold Eagles yet?
