    Coach Welcome to West Coast: Andrew McQualter

    I love Sam Butler, I've offender myself more by shading Stephen Armstrong though it anything. I withdraw my statements all mentioned are hero's whose names will echo in eternity. Just like Bailey Williams premiership ruckman will.

    Coach Welcome to West Coast: Andrew McQualter

    I think you need to keep in mind that every Premiership list contains its decent share of role players. Tom Cole, Liam Duggan, Stephen Armstrong, Nathan Vardy, Ash Hansen, Sam Butler, etc etc are all part of a West Coast Premiership side. With that in mind I think the following players on our...

    Coach Welcome to West Coast: Andrew McQualter

    I agree with this to a large extent. I would say that if the list is good enough the coach doesn't need to be a genius to go all the way. But to take Simmo as an example I think a better coach could have squeezed a but more out of the list. We'll never know but for arguments sake maybe with a...

    2nds WAFL Watch - 2026 Edition

    4 a game is fine, he's not playing the Jack Graham role. Campion data classifies his tackling numbers as elite for a small forward. Champion not laying a tackle this week was an issue for sure but he's better than that. He had 4 in the Sydney game. But stats don't really tell the full story on...

    If Murdock spends as much time mid as he did today then there is room for both of Champion and Owies, we need 2 legit small/pressure forwards and didn't have that today.

    Coach Welcome to West Coast: Andrew McQualter

    True. But also something to be said about having a young coach who hits his straps at the same time as the players and has been through all the ups and downs with them and is as hungry for success as they are when the worm turns. Simmo was too inexperienced to get us over the line in 2015 when...

    Coach Welcome to West Coast: Andrew McQualter

    Load of nonsense. 75% of the team is in place and Duggan's leadership isn't the reason we weren't beaten by 200 today instead of 101. Our leaders are trash.

    Coach Welcome to West Coast: Andrew McQualter

    I mean the obvious problem with that stat is that over this time we've had 3 different coaches and near 100% list turnover since 2020. 2024 5 wins and a number of 100 point losses. 2025 1 win no 100 point losses. 2026 2 wins so far and 2 100 point losses. We'll comfortably finish with 5 or...

    Prediction Round 8, 2026: Changes vs Richmond

    Nah as McWalter said in the presser it takes time just for these guys to build up some familiarity with how their team mates play, time their leads, learn their preferences etc etc. You can't work on that in the WAFL. Nor can you work on it too effectively in 100 point losses but the tide will...

    Prediction Round 8, 2026: Changes vs Richmond

    Thers no way on earth you drop Waterman to the WAFL for bad conversion when the stats say he's probably the most dominant forward in the competition this year. However he doesn't look fit, so I there is any chance at all that a week off will improve his condition [fix whatever he's carrying]...

    Coach Welcome to West Coast: Andrew McQualter

    Why is that exactly? A loss is a loss. Once this season is over nobody is going to remember the scoreline's or what our % was or whatever. If you get thrashed you get thrashed. I'd rather a 100 point loss with the players on the field playing the systems that they are going to be playing in the...

    Autopsy Round 7, 2026: Positives and Negatives vs St Kilda

    Let's see if they do it again. Could be a reason they've never done it before.

    Coach Welcome to West Coast: Andrew McQualter

    Consultancy work I'd imagine. Why the **** does he stay at Geelong?

    Autopsy Round 7, 2026: Positives and Negatives vs St Kilda

    Positives: Lindsay rising star nom. Genuinely impressive that he is still improving each week. Based off of todays game already our best player. Bailey, moneyball performance embarrassing for TDK. I wonder if any haters are having second thoughts of trading him for a late second rounder at...

    Prediction Round 8, 2026: Changes vs Richmond

    Out: Jilliams, Hough, Waterman [managed] In: Owies, toss up between Gross and Hutchison see how the 2nd half of the beagles plays out. Maybe both. Full credit to McWalter for resisting the temptation to rush Flynn back in, Williams deserved another chance. Unfortunately didn't do much with it...
