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

Spend a quarter of our soft cap on changing the coach? Great idea!

You are exactly the type of person who knows the cost of everything and the value of nothing

 

[Eaglemaniac]

Yeo just cannot pick up the ball today. He might as well just soccer it every time because he can’t pick the ball up. He’s not the only one though, the rest of us can’t seem to even see where the ball is. Waterman has run past about three ****ing times. Guv just did the same thing, and the dogs just picked the ball up and kick a ****ing goal. This is so bad it’s ridiculous.

Kents, he'd be our best player.

And yet we're smashing them at the clearances

 

[kaII]

****ing so tired of us not being able to tackle

[Sammy J]

Hard to find really any positives out there right now

 

[Crimson King]

Knights - forward coach
Webster - defence coach

'Stealing' Knights from Geelong has been such a bust.

Perhaps, Schofield should take over from Simmo now as he is the only coach who has improved things to a degree.

 

[DickDunn]

Good effort by Cole there

Spend a quarter of our soft cap on changing the coach? Great idea!

Yeah. You’re right. Let’s keep whatever this is going for the next 18 months.

Brilliant.

Also. It’s a tax to go over the soft cap. We have $60 million we’re sitting on.

None of this is good. Been horribly mismanaged everywhere.

It’s a disaster.

 

[kranky al]

Small positive - Harley Reid has now had his first contested mark at AFL level, which is before Nick Daicos has recorded his first contested mark.

Uh uh.

Naicos got his ages before chopper.

Chopper wasn’t even playing afl when he got it silly.

 

[Rivoroo17]

If he is indeed cooked then it’s as simple as attending centre bounces and then pushing fwd to the forward pocket

He's started in the forward line the last 2 centre bounces, indeed he is cooked simmo managing him in the forward line now.

 

[Broken_Chairs]

When we go forward, we're kicking to 3 bulldogs players.

When bulldogs enter their forward 50, they're falling over each other to kick a goal.

Can we apply to the AFL to get a few more players on the ground?

 

[TassieEagle]

Pathetic, isn't it? Don't know where to start!

Travelling back in time and replacing the senior coach, getting someone with a game plan, can teach basic skills, and reenvigorate the playing group?

 

[Proeagle]

This is well below par. Even for us. If we lose McGovern will be 100pt losses regularly.

It's a low bar

 

[15yearmember]

If only this had been last years game v the Bulldogs. Simmo would be gone now

 

[Gizza]

Agree with Derm for once. Lead towards the bloody kicker. That's how Kennedy kicked 700+ goals. It's not rocket science.

 

[Broken_Chairs]

I don't understand how Darling has become so cooked. And it's not just this year. It happened when he was like 28. He's looks like he's 35.

It's normally when key forwards enter their prime, he's falling apart.

 

[Mulldogg]

Jamieson maybe one positive, albeit minor

 

[russ]

Chesser's not up to it

 

[Barrybran]

There are a lot of tired players out there

 

[kranky al]

Yeah. You’re right. Let’s keep whatever this is going for the next 18 months.

It’s a disaster.

This shits me.

Either invest more in the wafl or spend more on the eagles and fkkk the soft cap, pay the tax and reap the benefits of being a big club.


Not interested in how many tens of millions we have sitting in the bank.

 

[Dom sheed pocket]

I’m calling it early

Reid to do a JHF at end of season

I was thinking the same thing.

Similar body language that JHF showed at north.

Pretty clear he’d rather be anywhere else than here.

Given Simpson’s contract is rumoured to be at a minimum 800k per season, we’d be paying him a minimum of $1.6m (likely more than that) out of our $7m soft cap.

What head coach are we hiring that’s going to turn our results around drastically enough to make that hinderance worthwhile?

 

[DickDunn]

Long hasn’t had much impact but has worked bloody hard
