Don't rate that site usually but that article's a pretty good summary of where we're at.

LOL, true. Not a bad article IMO. Slew the midfield, and rightly so, I'm not going to put fuel on the Priddis debate.

This was interesting.. "Champion Data rate West Coast's list as the sixth-best in the competition in terms of quality, despite the fact the Eagles haven't had a winning season in two years." Makes one really scratch ones head!

For those of you who are obsessed, here are some new recruit photos

Why don't they have the players names in the photos so people actually know who they are?

Careful, I tried that once......

 

[Double the Fist]

Who are those players? I'm a fan, I'm not obsessed.

Oh ffs .........

Sportsfan is a joke of a website but that wasn't the worst article in the world.

Glad it ripped on not just our woeful midfield, but our development of midfielders, as well as our lack of size and pace.
Also shat on the fact we can't buy a regular western derby win.

Good to see Smotie and Eagle87 add their thoughts to the comments section too

Say what?

The only change that needs to happen with the fixtures is WA teams don't go to Tasmania.

I can't believe that both WA teams haven't put up more of a fight for this.

What's bullshit is that when the Kangaroos wanted to sell a game to us they weren't allowed to do it because it was too big an advantage to us. Hold up isn't that Norths decision not the AFL and other clubs? ???? They'd be guaranteed a sell out hence max profit, instead they could only sell it to blundstone and have to do it 3-5 times a year for most likely less peanuts.

Hmm, nah that isn't really fair though.

Imagine you're going through a rebuilding phase, you could just sell off a game or two to interstate clubs to make some profit and it does give a massive advantage to the interstate team.

I certainly wouldn't like it if Freo were given an extra home game against a VIC team who sold it to them.

Opens the door to dodgy deal etc.

The article says:
"While Pat McGinnity was under notice..."

Maybe he was standing under the notice board

I'd say you might be Steve, but his comment is lacking the requisite tone.

Hows that different to Melbourne playing the Lions at the Gabba?

 

[Yamumluvsbigcox]

Or Richmond playing gold coast in cairns

 

[Marlin01]

Or Geelong playing at the G

Didn't realise that happened.

Guess it's just another case of WA teams being boned.

Mmmm dunno - according to VIctORIa - travelling to wa is massive disadvantage - yet grannys at melbs - all good

No advantage either way

Bunch of sillies. Shuey is elite, it's hard to notice when he's lost in a field of potatoes.

How much do we think the travel actually effects the players week to week?? Surely they would get used to it. I agree it would definitely take it's toll over the years, as is proven by the fact Pav is the only WA based player to reach 300 games, but during the season is it really that big of a deal. I feel like it's something that's brought up when we are struggling, and not an issue when we are playing well.

Our interstate form has been better than our home form over the last few years.

As someone who flies between the east and west coast regularly, I can tell you that it effects me quite a bit. Not so much going from east to west, but more west to east with the time difference. With daylight savings it's even worse. 3 hours enough for jet lag and I usually always wake up feeling rooted the first two days after coming back from perth.

Priddis is not a potato - potatoes can put out runners

hah..I didn't comment but I'm sure Eagle87 is one of them.
I agree with most of the article though.

 

[Euro Star]

So west coast have just had 4 days off - any chance there'll be an intra club match soon then?

If they are going to have one it will have to be in the next week or so. First game is in 18 days.

MM sucks there is not much info but this is the time of year they will be playing around with their gameplan away from prying eyes. Good to here Waters, Yeo & Wellingham are getting right back into it.
