Game Day Round 17, 2024: West Coast vs Melbourne

[Ghossein]

I just fired off an email to the club for the first time ever. Politely told them I won't be attending any more games or renewing my membership unless something changes. Hopefully a few thousand others do likewise. I haven't been a Simmo basher but enough is enough.

problem with virtual memberships is they're harder to chuck in the microwave

 

[Ochre]

Dal Santo must've thought he was picking a backline to play against this WCE team

What's the email mate

 

[Yeahnahmate]

Go full line in the sand. Duggan could do worse than getting a few weeks while standing up for the kids.

This kind of would look pathetic when we can’t play any real football at the minute and spend our time pointing fingers at teammates. Like we are actually laughable and a bit of biff isn’t going to cover over that

 

[southcoast]

WTF you lot complaining about umpiring.

Andrew Dillon said nothing to see here. It’s all good.

Yes he’s young.

But has no one at the club taken him aside in the last month to say ‘Listen champ, you’re a fantastic footballer, but you need to STFU and focus on the footy, instead of inciting incidents with every big name you pass on the field?’

There’s zero doubt that the exchange with Gawn on the half time siren ended with the big man telling young Harley to grow the f*** up and show a little respect.

Reid is embarrassing himself.

It’s ok guys the other great white hope Hewett is back next fortnight. Then it will be a 19 year old and 2 20 year old’s expected to lead the midfield. Not entirely sure if changing the coach changes our bleak circumstances.

Missing the point of changing the coach then

dont get your hopes up

hewett will play multiple games in the WAFL, have a really good game, then come in as the sub and be dropped again

At the game, the incident didn't start from reid. Tholstrup was getting into hough and it triggered a fight. Reid was defending hough.

 

[Shuestar13]

Pyke taken over the coaches box yet ?

I don’t know if the CEO routinely travels with the team for away games.

Unfortunately in terms of team selection for example, Don is of the same mindset as Simmo. One hopes his time at Sydney would have broadened his horizons so to speak.

Demons are clearly putting pressure into him today haha. After being embarrassed by him last game they are trying to throw him off. How could you possibly know who is initiating from the couch at home?

 

[cacik]

Better qtr, still gross but.
I've seen about 100 throws between both sides.
That sideshow tholstrups really grinding my gears.

On a positive note, the games gone and I can personally relax knowing we will lose.
Blessing in disguise being an eagles fan last 4 years. No close games....

Yes to everyone here, the axe needs to swing on Simmo.
Thanks for the memories chief.

I think I'll open another 7 percent beverage now..

Reid the only one showing some care for other players is just sad.

 

[Lia]

Harley Reid’s conduct, in a word…has been pathetic.

Does this kid want the ball anymore, or is he only interested in mouthing off at the big names?

Some will say ‘I like the way he goes about it. It shows he’s got heart’.

Reid is looking soft, angry and totally distracted.

Its also a sign of lack of leadership around him in the midfield.

 

[Cornelius Roy]

If he hits people like he kicks he’d probably knock out one of our own players.

What's the email mate

Dear Mr Pike,

There are too many head coaches nowadays. Please eliminate one. I am not a crackpot.

Warmest regards

I don’t know maybe it’s starting to be worth the risk. My worry is about next year. We doing this again?

 

[eagles rule]

Give me a negotiation contract Yeo over a contracted Yeo contract ..

I'm pretty done with hearing about teams having their 'best xyz for the season' against West Coast.

I just fired off an email to the club for the first time ever. Politely told them I won't be attending any more games or renewing my membership unless something changes. Hopefully a few thousand others do likewise. I haven't been a Simmo basher but enough is enough.

Stop whinging mate

I think "pathetic" has been used a lot around these parts for the last few years.

Duggan and Kelly are two of our most senior players and every time they kick the ball I have almost zero expectations on it going near a team mate. Would love an indication they care, even if it's just biff

Yeah he's slipped a bit since signing but it may be still from his dad passing I'd say.

Yeo isn't one of the boys club mentality players.
