    Media Thread 2026: Insightful, Inciteful and Incomptent

    It would be more surprising if he didn't. They were at Richmond together for 9 years and won 3 premierships. Of course he is going to back his protégé.

    Coach Welcome to West Coast: Andrew McQualter

    To be honest, there isn't much to it. Occupy the corridor, generate run from behind when in possession and get the half forwards high up the ground to open up space in the attacking 50.

    Autopsy Round 8, 2026: Positives and Negatives vs Richmond

    Sigh. Somehow the club managed to lose a match when it was harder to come away without a win. Inside 50s 21-12 in West Coast's favour in the last quarter - yet scores were 4.1 to 5.2 Richmond's way. That last quarter would have to be one of the most frustrating quarters of football I have...

    Game Day Round 8, 2026: West Coast vs Richmond

    Tigers appeared to be tiring a bit near the end of that 3rd quarter. Get some momentum, the crowd up and about and there is a good chance to finish running over the top of them. Which will paper over the cracks of a rather abject performance.

    Game Day Round 8, 2026: West Coast vs Richmond

    Kelly and Ginbey both huge in that quarter. The two of them carrying the team at the moment.

    Game Day Round 8, 2026: West Coast vs Richmond

    I can't even with that last five minutes... So many poor decisions, backline is barely WAFL quality besides R.Ginbey. Seems to be a lot of players picking and choosing when to commit again which is concerning.

    Game Day Round 8, 2026: West Coast vs Richmond

    Forward coach should be sacked on what has been on display the last number of weeks. No method other than dump it forward to static targets. No connection at all between the forwards and the rest of the team at the moment. Horrendous stuff. B.Williams continues to put on a clinic of being...

    Game Day Round 8, 2026: West Coast vs Richmond

    Win or the club gets burnt to the ground. Either way someone will be having fun.

    It's a positive step in the acknowledgement that more needs to be done. It also sidesteps the obvious elephant in the room - which is the proportional level of grassroots funding in traditional Australian Rules states outside of Victoria has been allowed to wither. No doubt they'll come back...

    Oppo Camp Non-Eagles Discussion 2026

    I have a respect for S.Pendlebury as a player, but this whole over-the-top reaction about him breaking the games record is giving me the shits. Certainly wasn't anything like this going on when B.Harvey overtook M.Tuck. It's terrible to say, but with all of this AFL sanctioned one-eyed...

    L.Neale with just a lazy 42 disposals against Adelaide. Should be all over him - that the chatter on him appears to have cooled is disappointing. W.Ashcroft with 36 disposals and 13 score involvements as well - still hasn't even played 70 games yet. Z.Bailey getting 29 disposals, 7...

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

    Didn't get to see the match live as I was at my son's game. Positive: Son playing in defence for just the second time took two game-winning contested marks in the final quarter. Negative: Checked the score for this match. Jeebus. I was hoping the club was past this.

    The last three matches now Fremantle have lost the inside 50 differential against lower quality opponents (Collingwood, West Coast, Carlton). To their credit, they have done enough to bank the win on each occasion which is all that is needed at this time of year, but they would want to improve...

    Should have shifted North permanently to Canberra when they were playing home matches there and genuinely gaining a support base. Their backstabbing of fans in the nation's capital to chase a bag of cash from Gold Coast that was never going to be a long-term fix set back support in NSW/ACT by a...

    Oppo Camp Non-Eagles Discussion 2026

    As for Gold Coast's problems on-field: they are still trying to go all-out attack around stoppage, but the issue is J.Witts isn't that effective anymore under the ruck rules this year. When J.Witts has more than 30 hitouts they are 3-0. When J.Witts has 30 or less hitouts they are 0-3. The...

    The Sydney Easter show dates occurred for GWS during their Round 4 bye and Gather Round. It shouldn't affect their fixture at all. It's more to do with the VFL that owns their license forcing them to play home games in Canberra each year, because Canberra is so obviously part of West Sydney...

    Was about to mention this also - just imagine how apocalyptic the reaction would be if Collingwood played interstate 4 weeks in 5... The Suns also go to Darwin in two weeks as well - because Victoria keeps forgetting that Gold Coast is only halfway up the continent and has the mindset that a...

    List Mgmt. 2026 Trade/Contract Discussion

    Very pleased to hear this, he's a player. Leader, remains composed, defensively solid, finds ball, makes good decisions - and still only 23. Get him and L.Duggan may never play in the seniors again. Seemingly made for the way AFL is going with playmaking becoming more influential from...

    Autopsy Round 6, 2026: Positives and Negatives vs Fremantle

    Further to the previous post, here is a breakdown of play that is arguably the turning point for the match during the second quarter. West Coast switches possession in defence. The marking option inside that would open up the corridor is not taken in favour of a dump kick long to the wing...

    Autopsy Round 6, 2026: Positives and Negatives vs Fremantle

    Warning this is a long, and at times, meandering post. I’m left quite mixed about this match. It’s a 10 goal loss, with the outcome never under threat after the 9th minute of the second quarter and the opponent kicking 21 of the last 27 scoring shots. Yet, there is so much more to it than...

    Autopsy Round 6, 2026: Positives and Negatives vs Fremantle

    Regarding the lame songs - those are chosen by the players. Before the season the AFL requests from each club a list of "celebration songs" for each player that can be played after they score a goal at home - hence why Chelsea Dagger gets played each time J.Waterman kicks a goal. Obviously the...

    Don't forget matches as an unused substitute get included and will reduce those averages in 2021. Remove those (and the match where he came on as the substitute with 17% time on ground) and his 2021 figures suggest continued improvement, particularly considering his role at Geelong was...

    Well my charmed run of remaining injury-free has come to an end. Centre bounce, opposition ruck wins the tap straight to my opponent, wrap him up only for the opposition ruck to then follow through with an attempted bump which puts our combined weights going one way whilst my foot is stuck...

    O.Mullin doing a masterclass in tagging on M.Bontempelli tonight. Don't get to see that happen too often. Halfway through the third quarter and Bont is still in single-digits for disposals. Geelong currently winning by 9 goals as they dominate the centre and the Bulldogs weak defence is...
