We might be a chance to bring up the ton against them!

That was seriously ridiculous.

They'll have a new coach next week.

 

[Sir Owens]

Just our luck, Adam Simpson gets sacked, and the caretaker coach comes in and gets the sugar hit first-up win.

The stuff of nightmares

 

[Saintos The ITK]

If we don’t score at least 500 next week we’re ****ed.

PLEASE DONT SACK THE COACH!!!

100%. Simpson has done enough to not go this week. Think of the flag you WC dickwits.

Sydney did a Jason Gillespie - no need to be hasty.

Pretty spot on IMO. What was depressing last couple of years is that there wasn't any youth behind what we were playing. We have blooded a whole bunch, found some really good ones and it's not on the back of the same 22 that hasn't gone anywhere. The depth has been tested and we are starting to wobble but it's not catastrophic.

Hard to disagree with anything Cameron said there.

 

[George]

Come on now fess up who has tipped the Eagles

 

[aussierulesrules]

West Coast have conceded 379 points in their last two matches!

To teams placed 9th and 15th on the ladder going into the respective rounds!

Pretty amazing it looks like we'll finish the weekend still in 5th spot (if the pies beat the crows tomorrow).

It's such a weird season, just when you think that we've blown our chances some other side out-shits us. Realistically it's just a super even season outside the top few sides.

How bad were the Eagles against the Swans . The Eagles probably had their best side of the year in and look what happened. There are senior players there like Gaff , Yeo , Darling and others who just aren’t putting in , or is it a case of they looked good when they had better players around them ?
Having said that , they will probably play a blinder against us next week . I still expect us to win but very much like the North game .
After that loss to the Swans will they sack their coach ?

 

[chris_h_11]

WC the first team in history to lose 12 on the trot by 40+.

We'll beat them, but that record will won't continue. We'll struggle to a 25 point win and the Eagles will sing their song cause that's a win for them.

 

[Brains Trust66]

Sydney the first side since 2011 to crack the 200 mark , if I read that correctly.

Heard someone on the radio in Perth say after the game that they had 15 of their best 22 in. A lot of it would have to be to do with synergy. Their team changes so much from it seems week to week.

 

[Munga]

Will our lack of a midfield and uncompetitiveness one on one be enough of a handicap to get West Coast over the line?
I wish for a flogging, but we don't necessarily have the cattle either.

We aren't an amazing side, but West Coast are an absolute rabble and appear to be getting worse by the week. It looks like we've hit them at the perfect time, they've just been beaten by over 100 two weeks in a row. Ouch!

We need to play fast, risky, exciting footy against this ‘rabble’ and not safe, defensive, 2 goals a quarter stuff.

We have to make them think “sh1t, here we go again!” to ensure they retain their current depressed state of mind.

Like the first 10 - 15 minutes of the Richmond game - but this time just keep going til the final siren!

I heard someone saying a couple of weeks ago it was hard to run proper training drills because of the lack of numbers.
