Looked a long way off. 2 quality mods short at a minimum to compete.

He's talking about you guys Keys and HoneyBadger35, lift your game.

Ive followed this team since the first WCE game and I can say now after last years poor effort and losing Shuey and Hurn we now have our worst ever list and not only won't we win 1 game but we will be called mid season to have put the game into disrepute. The AFL will step in after about our 5th 100+ point loss. People in here will say this a mega melt but bookmark this post mid season, we are so bad it is not funny. We won't win one game and it will go down as one of the worst seasons by any team ever in the history of VFL/AFL. I wish I could see some light but we have nothing, can't win the ball and can't kick goals if our life depended on it.

Coming back from injury and club thinks he's not best 23 for round 1?

I ****ing hate what we have become as a club, I'm one of the most passionate supporters and enough is enough. Simmo must go and we have to start targeting local talent, we have far too many non WA players collecting a wage.

Should have told him to keep the tab open

 

[Keys]

Barnett has been solid so far. Probably the best of our listed players

Absolutely bulldozed Knobel at one point

Ruscoe been good on Tabernacles. Would have no problem taking him in the MSD if/when we have a LTI

Also like the way Horsely is coaching from the sidelines

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't hoping for a few more positives out of our first scratch-match.

Still fumbly, making costly turnovers, kicking blindly into the forward line, getting carved up in the centre and allowing opposition forwards to run riot. We seemed to have added goalfront inaccuracy to our repertoire as well. I saw little sign of the faster ball movement we've heard about.

And it's peak post-2018 Eagles for Flynn to have looked like a great recruit in the off-season only to suffer a serious injury before the season starts and for Hough to have hurt himself in the last moments of a dead practice game (hopefully it was only cramp). A stark reality check of how far behind most of the competition we are.

Still, there were a few small positives:

• Rawlinson tackling
• Long is class whenever he gets near the ball
• Waterman and Yeo were pretty good
• Livingstone showed a little promise
• Jamieson has improved
• Hunt and Reid showing willingness to take the game on

2024 will be a season of searching for the green shoots. And speculating on what we'll do with our very early draft pick.

Who kicked our goal?

Harley Sparks, no. 7.

Respect the passion mate.

 

[garlic munchers]

Whohooooooo.. some nice moves at the Beagles.

 

[Ghossein]

Schofield saying there was no player consultation for the song change. Surely that's a joke?

nope, see below (1:00:03)

 

[CoastersFlag No.5]

Hough is alive.

 

[Bender_]

TABERNER'S IN THE GOAL SQUARE!

And assistance package

 

[Bacchus]

Is it possible we will be worse this year?

Yes, it’s quite possible.

Hurn was good in the backline, and Shuey was good in the few halves he played.

Losing Flynn is a massive blow, how does this team get so many serious injuries?

I'm hopeful 2024 is the year West Coast and Adam Simpson divorce.

 

[PremiershipNo4]

We are very raw but, jeez, we are getting no love from the Umps.

That’s it we were robbed by the umps

Hey, go stick your head up yours! You never contribute anything but negativity.

 

[WCErevival]

Any updates on the beagles?

Just think it is only the first pre-season match. The actual season is going to be a real hoot
