    Media Thread, 2025: Insightful, Inciteful and Incomptent

    I mean, the guy literally called the immigration Minister to get a waiver for his French nanny when she turned up with the wrong visa and was held up at the airport, I don't think he was all that worried about whether he should or shouldn't be doing a thing...

    Pretty sure on one of the "Coast to Coast" pods he mentioned meeting his current girlfriend at church, so maybe some kind of pilgrimage? The government has them at "reconsider travel", which is the same as the cartel controlled bits of Mexico and the Saudi border with Yemen, and I'm pretty sure...

    Injury BHHIU (Formerly SJOGHCIU) - 2025 Fingers Crossed Edition

    I wonder how much of this is because the administration had for years been bellyaching about how much clubs were spending (going all the way back to the infamous Dimetriou quote about phys-edders ruining the game) and as such were looking for any excuse to force clubs to spend less, and how much...

    Oppo Camp Non-Eagles Discussion 2025

    So...I was bored again. This time this tweet inspired me. So I've done some finals appearances calculations. Like the tweet I went back from this year, but went back 25 years instead of 24, which gives a nice round number of 50 GF "slots" and 100 PF "slots" (i.e. from 2001 -> 2025 50 teams will...

    Media Thread, 2025: Insightful, Inciteful and Incomptent

    Actually, because I was bored, here's the list of every player drafted out of WA who will have been at their current club between 3 and 6 years at the end of next season (assuming that we're not getting anyone good this year...) Note that I've left off anyone who has not played a senior game...

    I've said this a couple of times now, but we can't follow the Adelaide model. They traded in their best two players with significant unders for a combination of go-home factors, and that they both went to another level once coming back to Adelaide. They got lucky with Dawson in particular...

    Media Thread, 2025: Insightful, Inciteful and Incomptent

    Actually, if you go by the odds it might make a gamble worth it. If you trade pick 2 for (random example) 8 and 12, your dropping form a 75% chance of one star to a 67.5% chance, but in return you now have a 17.5% chance of getting TWO star players where that's never going to happen with just...

    Prediction New Apparel Manufacturer 2026?

    Pretty sure they failed to deliver our retail (?) gurnseys in time because they prioritised the Richmond ones as they were the new shiny. Nissy chucked a wobbly 'cause we'd been Puma's only AFL team for some time, so walked away from it at the end of that year. So, with Nissy now gone, there...

    So we're going to recruit our best two players from other clubs for significant unders across the next two seasons? With our trading team? Yeah. Nah.

    List Mgmt. Welcome Harley Reid (Pick 1, 2023 National Draft)

    The Hawks had 9 players 27 or over play 20 or more games, we had 5 (Baker, Cripps, Duggan, Ryan, and Kelly), and the quality of their group is clearly better overall (but really, that shouldn't be a surprise as the low quality of our older players is the reason we are where we are). However -...

    SOS is a disaster of a list manager. Did the same thing at the Giants until they had to walk players, only getting their shit sorted once he was gone, tried it again at Carlton, and is now going for third time lucky at the Saints. Must talk a helluva game to keep getting jobs when he's been...

    The last time Carlton came sniffing around one of our quick young players we wound up giving Petruccelle a three year deal. Would rather we don't make the same mistake twice...

    List Mgmt. Welcome Campbell Chesser (Pick 14, 2021 National Draft)

    Freo stayed the youngest team in the league or thereabouts year after year by constantly winning the draft (trading out middling players for decent picks...see Acres and Cera). The trick is convincing your youth to stick around and take the losses.

    Prediction 2025 Best and Fairest

    Duggan and Graham likely to finish 5th and 6th. Duggan's played every game 'till now and no-one between he and Graham seems likely to be a regular vote getter, so even if Graham goes past him for 5th, he'll take 6th above the likes of Ryan/Kelly/Flynn etc

    This nod and wink stuff is getting a bit silly. Same as Clarry's "hamstring" last year and "finger" or whatever it was Geelong originally said for Tanner Bruhn (who by the way has just quietly slipped off the injury list and just doesn't play any more, nice way to pretend that never happened)...

    We don't have to overpay. We choose to as a strategy. Supposedly it "keeps the managers happy". I guess the fact we lose virtually no-one we want to keep seems like it's working...but at the same time, is that useful if we can't then trade ourselves out our current position?

    Oppo Camp Non-Eagles Discussion 2025

    In addition to having a bunch of solid seniors already on their list, they also traded in Dawson for the last pick in the first round (Swans were super salty about it) and Rankine for a single 1st that not only gave them their best two players, but also left them with other pick options to use...

    Game Day Round 21, 2025: West Coast vs Melbourne

    No it wasn't. We don't need a 3rd tall who can chop out through the middle. He didn't fit us and letting him go was the right choice.

    I mean this is a clear problem. So many teams just bouncing down the bottom trading out one good player then straight back up into finals again with all their high picks! Just look at North and us!🤪

    Autopsy Round 19, 2025: Positives and Negatives vs Richmond

    Negative Whoever came up with the game plan of targeting the smallest guy inside fifty, then kicking it a meter or two over his head. It didn't work the first 35 times, but you know what they say, 36th time's a charm! Chefs kiss of the lot was Cripps toward the end when Ryan was finally out the...

    Coach Welcome to West Coast: Andrew McQualter

    He also backed the entire group in. Pretty sure he was trying very hard not to blame the players tonight. The start the that presser was as flat as I've seen him at any point this year. About the only time he fired up was when talking about how "bought in" Harley is so...at least there's that?
