West Coast just a tad unlucky

 

[Sir Watchalot]

The reason they haven’t sacked Simpson is because their list is poo and the next guy is likely to get it in the neck within 18 months as well.

Quite right. West Coast are further back than North Melbourne now and they may as well leave Simpson in place to do what he's actually doing now, begin the West Coast rebuild. If they sack Simpson (or he quits) they need a journeyman assistant to cover because all aspiring coaches know that being a new appointee as head coach for a rebuild is career death.

 

[Sir Watchalot]

Schofield will be coach of West Coast by tomorrow morning.

Has a much better job as Fox correspondent for all things footy in WA.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Schofield will be coach of West Coast by tomorrow morning.

People say things like "it wont change anything" but in this case they are totally right. They bring in a caretaker and they'll do absolutely no better. They would be better off letting old mate tank the year and switch coaches afterwards and do the whole "rebuild" thing where they get in fresh coaches, try get a few players/picks etc.

I’m not 100% sure but I think he’s contracted till 2025?
I guess they have the cash to pay him out anyway but if you took over that job you would want a long contract… knock knock, who’s there? Ken !

How can you commentate AFL games every week an still not have a basic understanding of the rules? It's astonishing.

HE WAS UNLUCKY!

 

[TazD]

The joy of remembering how a Carlton supportering relative carried on after our round 2 loss

 

[240volt]

Jesus Carlton are crap, who’s In hell predicted them to do well this year?

 

[JUSTWORK]

Real lazy effort by Carlton here. Wave of Collingwood players running forward without a Carlton player in sight.

 

[Ported]

This is mostly effort with Carlton. No heart at all.

At least when port suck our club put everything into it only to be let down by skill and strategy.

 

[JimmyBC]

These guerneys are mash clash, Carlton's home game why didn't Collingwood use a white base for the design?

 

[Holden Hillbilly]

116 points is the 5th biggest loss in @WestCoastEagles history, and worst in 15 years. It’s also their equal 3rd lowest score in club history (26). It comes against the side sitting 18th.

Because they own black and white stripes for all eternity, and all sports codes, and cannot deviate one bit from that

 

[PJ Power]

Collingwood are remarkably in sync. They play breathtaking team footy which is way above the sum of their individual parts.

Carlton are way out of sync. Individuals who on paper who look strong but play like a disorganised mess.

I hope that we can build on our form and play in sync like Collingwood.

 

[PJ Power]

Moore is MVP of this very good side.

 

[philreich]

When he has to come to work and face the music about having literally no players available it wouldn't exactly be exciting. He'd feel pretty powerless.

I heard they had about 20 players from their senior list to choose from this week - their injury toll is horrific.

VOSSY FOLLOWING IN KENNYS FOOTSTEPS

 

[Marmozet]

Does any team fancy coming up against Collingwood at the MCG on the last Saturday of September?

 

[Festerz]

Because the key KPI for Channel 7 AFL commentators is being able to recite by heart which players went to Xavier College.

 

[Jojay]

Coach and captain having words on the sidelines.

 

[Macca19]

I dont know how Simpson could possibly survive that sort of performance

 

[Cuzz09]

I dont know how Simpson could possibly survive that sort of performance

He will because we are more concerned with making money than performing well

Matching Collingwood's pressure is the key, no one has really done it long enough for cracks to appear.
