Game Day Round 3, 2024: West Coast vs Western Bulldogs

[Dom sheed pocket]

Looked like Harley pinged a hammy

Probably just faking it so he doesn’t have to play for this rabble anymore.

 

[Tugga27]

How has the AFL not forced WCE to make changes to the head coach? These performances the last few years are a disgrace to the league and compromise the competition

How can the AFL change WC coach you moron.

 

[mattyc75]

Hough will come good but in this game he is obviously way mismatched on he's smaller size. The problem is most of Bulldogs whole list is quite big so whoever he plays on he will be undersized.

He is going to need to baulk up a hell of a lot more next season. We need him to be on a level playing field with his opponents and at the moment he is nowhere near the size he needs to be.

Hough has changed his body amazingly well over the preseason, can imagine he'll come back next season a lot bigger

yes I think Harley pinged the hammy there. I’m sure our medical group will assess him as perfectly fine and put him out there again so we can really **** it up and be out for six weeks.

Yeah the coach is responsible for basic skill execution errors

Apparently some of our fans think the coach isn’t responsible for anything

 

[RookiePick]

at least we will get English next year thats a positive

Why would he want to come here. Money is nice but going to work somewhere, every day, that you hate isn't good for mental health

 

[Dom sheed pocket]

Reid will leave in 3 years and we'll be s**t for the next 10 years as we continue to split picks and draft players who can't play

Who could blame him?

 

[eaglesnutcase]

Is Yo allergic to actually kicking the ball? Everytime he gets the ball he stops and looks sideways or back for the handball.. He’s got a great left foot. Kick the ball mate

 

[Eaglemaniac]

Yeah the coach is responsible for basic skill execution errors

The coach is responsible for making sure they do enough drills under pressure, so they can execute basic skills mate.

 

[WeaponX]

I think we will get called mid season as bringing the game into disrepute we are that putrid, if the AFL doesn't step in with a 3 or 4 priority picks this will go on for years.

 

[TY24]

Apparently some of our fans think the coach isn’t responsible for anything

And some of our fans think changing coaches will magically propel us back up the ladder.

 

[mat11]

Reid will leave in 3 years and we'll be s**t for the next 10 years as we continue to split picks and draft players who can't play

Yep, drafting athletes like chesser-ginbey need more natural footballers like yeo-reid

 

[15yearmember]

Confidence is completely shot 3 games in. No one wants the footy.

This is exactly what Simpson can't afford. Everyone going into their shells and playing selfish footy.

Not sure I liked the way Harley pulled up there...

We are coached to react and defend. To avoid turnovers. To play safe.

It’s an entirely shit system.

 

[Rivoroo17]

Hough....i just dont see it with him
Dont think he has it

Have you had your head in the sand all last season? He has it, a jnr player is allowed to have on below average game every now and again, it's up to the rest of the team to play their role and not expose them.

 

[kaiserchief13]

How can the AFL change WC coach you moron.

Of course they can. What happened at Melbourne and North, idiot?

 

[Manbearpig77]

And some of our fans think changing coaches will magically propel us back up the ladder.

It’ll do something.

Cause what’s happening now is working great…

[Sammy J]

Our list is either too old and past it, or too green and not up to it. We have nothing in the middle when it comes to in their prime AFL players.

 

[Barrybran]

English - that's why he is such a useful player. Anyone that doesn't want him at the Eagles just doesn't watch how effective he is. And Yeoy continues to fumble. It was a poo half of footy from us. So many errors.

I don't think anyone can argue with English's ability. I just think there are better uses for $1m a season.

 

[Cuzz09]

100% Harley is injured and will miss v Syd

One of the few things I was looking forward to.

Only really looking forward to playing at country ground, wearing our 1995 guernsey and seeing Reid.

Now prob no Reid

That was the funniest quote of today.

 

[KERRPOW]

Turnovers. Same s**t as last week. We're actually holding our own around the ball but getting murdered when we turn it over. Yeo is putting in a shift.

Theres only so long you can put up with this as a supporter tho.

 

[Dom sheed pocket]

Who - Cripps or Brockman.

Cripps being selfish and wanting players to pass to him when it’s not on just so he can get snag.

Bloke would give up a kidney just to get a snag.

He should be telling blokes to calm down, go back and kick it instead of being a goal pig.

Or do the other one

 

[random260]

Guys before we guess if he's injured any actual real proof. Could it not be a corky or cramp
