It really annoys me how mouth-pieces like Barrett create a story and then repeat it enough times to try and make it come true. The Eagles didn't handle the hub well, but that is not because they spat the dummy. It was more to do with the general unknown and disruption that existed with COVID at the time. They weren't even given a return date.BARRETT: Miserable Eagles no more, Saints in strife
A happy-again West Coast has all the pieces in place for another serious premiership tilt, writes Damian Barrettwww.afl.com.au
"Last year's elimination final exit put then out of their own self-driven moping misery, where they never properly got their heads around the major distractions brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic."
Barrett with a lovely turn of phrase there. WC's only mistake on that count was being open with the hack AFL media about the mental state of their players.
Wonder how old Damo would have fared in the circumstances.
Don’t bother watching On The Couch
Yeah i watched it waiting over an hour before we got a mention which lasted all of a minute. Maybe it was a silly of me to assume a complete dismantling of last years ladder leaders was worthy of a segmentDon’t bother watching On The Couch tonight if you expected to hear anything about our game against Port. If however you’d like to watch a Sydney & Melbourne love fest then you’ll love that episode.
Haven't watched couch for probably 5 years... Seems like nothing has changed really.Yeah i watched it waiting over an hour before we got a mention which lasted all of a minute. Maybe it was a silly of me to assume a complete dismantling of last years ladder leaders was worthy of a segment
No mention of the Eagles on AFL 360 not even Liam Ryan’s Mark

So is it time we ring Eric McKenzie for a come back?The only real tactical comment of the episode was from Healy in reference to his opinion on the impending demise of zone defences, with defenders who have been able to get away with not doing any defending in recent seasons now getting found out in a big way.

Damo's weird ability to say we moped around in the hub last year at every opportunity is a very peculiar obsession.
There's a reason why clubs aren't as open with the media as they want them to be.
We got the last laugh but I still hate the fact they did us at home in 17 and the regular season home game in 18.Loving the vic media filling up the demons bath tub with water.
Unlike the swans they havent beaten anyone of note.
The worst side in the comp on 3-0.
We were simply playing the long gameWe got the last laugh but I still hate the fact they did us at home in 17 and the regular season home game in 18.
We were missing a big chunk of our most important players in both those games if my memory servesWe got the last laugh but I still hate the fact they did us at home in 17 and the regular season home game in 18.

Definitely my favourite Optus moment yet.
