    Coach McQualter Named As New West Coast Coach

    Mini was also the 17th pick at the draft in 2004 so he is no mug as a player, granted didnt reach superstar status but neither did Kingsley, Clarko or Lyon and they go ok. Obviously understands the pressures of playing and GF experience and has had a great coaching apprenticeship. very happy to...

    Coach McQualter Named As New West Coast Coach

    exactly. Which big name was out there? The only big name i would have thought might be a target is Chris scott from the Cats - he might have wanted a change of scenery with a godfather offer. But you have to question the hunger of guys like Clarko, Dimma and Scott - they have done everything. A...

    Autopsy AFL 2024 Round 12 - Hawks v Crows Sat June 1st 1:45pm AEST (MCG)

    I am talking about the last 24 years old mate. Your lot has done sweet FA. I know where WC are at and know we will bounce back. You’re happy with your last 20 odd years ?!

    Autopsy AFL 2024 Round 12 - Hawks v Crows Sat June 1st 1:45pm AEST (MCG)

    For a team that is supposedly the premier team in a premier AFL state they are the most underperforming team in the comp by a long way. The swans and GWS are better teams to support and they do it the hard way in a non AFL dominant state. I dont now how the crows supporters keep going - they...

    West Coast AFL another flag before Fremantle AFL's first

    Freo should be. They have a fantastic list but don’t think the coach is getting the absolute best from them. And with a guy like Fyfe back fit he should be doing what Yeo is doing at west coast and back to being the big dominating midfield beast he once was. They have had a sh!t sandwich draw...

    Analysis Have the Crows botched their rebuild?

    Govs weight issues have been well documented. In the early days he was told over pre season by Woosha it’s all over of you don’t drop a ton of weight. I reckon he is slimmer than ever right now and you can see it the way he covers the ground. Probably right at his optimum size. Not too light for...

    Analysis Have the Crows botched their rebuild?

    I would take Sturt everyday of the week over fogarty. I reckon Jeremy McGovern would have been a Fogarty type player if he hadn’t been so strict with his diet. Gov can cover the ground as well as anyone and still take strong pack marks. I reckon fog needs to lose 10kegs and he would be that key...

    Player Watch Harley Reid isnt leading the rising star so far

    There is no doubt the kid will be a super star. The derby was won though by having fit premiership stars all back on the field at once for the first time in years. Barrass, Guv, Duggan, Cole, Yeo, Darling plus our experienced guys like Waterman and Kelly leading the way for our young guys...

    Injury Sam Docherty

    That’s incredibly sad news. Poor guy. One tough bugger though hope he can get back and be a part of the blues resurgence.

    Players you are surprised are still on an AFL list

    Matt Taberner - only Jack Anthony and Cam Mcarthy have outdone him in the spud dept at Freo.

    Demons Drug Crisis - Why not the same scrutiny as West Coast?

    What i thought was amazing was Max Gawn having to do the presser yesterday and answering the questions over it. Surely the Pres or CEO at a minimum are fronting a press conference to deal with an issue of this magnitude? At least Glen Bartlett had the guts to raise it as an issue back in his day...

    How have the Swans continually escaped critique and criticism for their lack of success in the VFL/AFL?

    The swans are the least of the AFLs worries in terms of success. I would much rather be a swans supporter than a Freo, Port or Adelaide supporter – clubs from the traditional AFL states that have done absolutely bugger all in comparison to a team that plugs away in a non AFL state and...

    Autopsy 2023 Semi Final Blues win a thriller!

    Well done to the blues. One of the great wins. I saw a comment about a statue for acres. Fair enough but I’d be building sam walshes first. He is a dead set gun. Hardest gut runner in the game.

    West Coast - time for a rebuild?

    I have no doubts about some of the reasons behind keeping simmo old mate. I was actually responding to some of the comments made here about how funny it was that some of the media getting bent out of shape about the club keeping simmo after being so adamant they knew all along what was happening...

    West Coast - time for a rebuild?

    yeah that was classic watching Lyon squealing about the audacity of WC not to sack simmo etc... Feels like WC have given the sideline snipers like he, Caro, Cornes the big fxck you. As an original WC member i have ridden the lows and highs (which far outweigh the lows) of our great club and the...

    Has Kane Cornes Become a Media “FLOG”?

    Cannot understand how this guy has got so much traction in the AFL media Australia wide. I know I am stating the bleeding obvious…. But he has no relevance in WA commentating on our teams as WA supporters couldn’t give a flying fxck what he thinks and am sure the Vics could do without his...

    How long does Adam Simpsons have left?

    Happy with simmo staying. You have to laugh though. Gary Lyon and Jon Ralph squealing on the couch this evening declaring WC an arrogant club cause simmo was gone earlier in the year and now he is staying. WTF ? As if they knew what the club has been thinking all the way through this saga. Even...

    Preview Eagles and Dockers 2024 Preview

    With another pre season amiss and Sturt will be great. Treacy looks good too. With Jackson/Darcy rotating up forward as well it’s going to be a tough match up for the oppo. Tabenar needs to go. Good trade bait whilst he is still fairly young ? He is just far too soft. Treacy at least crashes packs.

    Suggestions for WCE new coach ?

    Pyke was a very successful businessman before coaching. I think he had an engineering business which he sold - He wouldnt be desperate for a quid at this stage of his life, just enjoys the coaching side. Would be a great CEO and equally as good a senior coach i reckon. His time at Adelaide wasnt...

    Which team out of Adelaide, North and Hawthorn has the better youth?

    Hawks have the best youth by far. Plus they are coached by a guy who is uncompromising and obviously pretty inspiring given the results over the last month or two. Long term success with this young group. North are looking ok. Some absolute quality in their list, just hoping Clarko can get the...

    Autopsy AFL 2023 Round 18 - Swans v Dogs Thurs July 13th 7:20pm AEST (SCG)

    Umpire no 4 had a clear view of that Franklin free and clearly obvious it wasn’t a free. Yet Meredith paid it. This 4 umpire thing is an absolute joke.

    The Goodbye Gil Thread - Who next? Legacy? Criticisms?

    the AFL are so lucky the A-league is a shambles. They kick so many own goals its not funny. The A league (based on world game figures) should be the dominant code in the country yet are so badly run the AFL and NRL dont need to do a hell of a lot to maintain their dominance. Any decent CEO...

    Fixture Gather Round - SA announced as host for next 3 years 2024-2026

    You really have to query Mclachlan and the AFLs business decisions. Its not like a decision needs to be made yesterday on the next 3 years of gather round. Let the dust settle, let the states digest what it might look like for their state and then the AFL should put it out for tender – if the...

    Opinion Ranking the Rioli's (who have played AFL).

    Cyril is certainly a great player but dont forget Maurice played 120 odd games with STh Fremantle before his VFL career where he carved it up when back in the day the wafl was in its heyday and a fantastic comp. Also his SOO career for WA was amazing. i saw him play for South Freo and he was...

    Roast St Kilda in no mans land

    Surely now the idiots who appointed Ratts go as well. How can you go from full backing and a new deal to just 7 games later boning him. Lethlean should be paying Ratts payout from his own salary for an incompetent decision earlier in the year or else resign...

    Who's the best Indigenous player ever?

    Err why is this objectively wrong? I have been present at a footy lunch where Polly rated Stephen Michael as one of the greatest. Having watched Stephen live he is the best easily and if that upsets your thoughts that the WAFL wasnt a great comp then grow up. Michael dominated state of origin...

    Opinion Garry Lyon

    NO media profile as such. He bobbed up recently in paper as his son and nephews are guns and will get drafted. Has kept his nose clean since retiring and much loved by the Dees fans, loved by freo fans and WC fans have probably built a bridge by now for his years tormenting us. so he would get a...
