2017 - Non Yeo Discussion (Formerly Non Freo Discussion)

[estibador]

Commentators are puzzled how the Hawks are managing to play with so much more intensity this week.

Perhaps it's because they're playing one of the softest outfits in the league?

Can't wait for the Simpson presser!

Predicting we'll see half a dozen whines from him over the course of the week. Everything from travel, through concessions, maybe some ground surface complaints, rule changes and so on. Anything to distract from his reality really.

What are you doing with that window Simmo?

Is that our window shutting or is Simmo planning to jump out?

 

[Righteo]

Gotta love Shuey and Hill coming to the party when the game is already long dead.

 

[Grape Bear]

It's interesting, GC belted this Hawthorn side by 86 points. 86. Points. Gold Coast. Let that sink in.

 

[Admiral Byng]

this is gold

ahhh a perfect weekend. I wonder when egles supporters in general will realise they need to rebuild...their lack of player development could see some spoons coming their way in the future

Yep, they stocked up with experience to have one last crack at a flag this year believing their window was still open.

I wonder when they'll realise the window is closed and revert to a rebuild?

West coast lost by more today then in the 2015 gf.

51 today

46 in the grand final

Hopefully after we beat them next week.

A lot of people think this. But really they are just all in investing in aged care. Plenty of baby boomers retiring soon - most of them play for West Coast.

If we don't flog them...

Umps will make it 22 v 25 as usual. We need to go above and beyond.

 

[Scham]

I only tuned in for the last quarter and I've gotta say, unless they were wearing brown, there wasn't many WC supporters there. I thought they had a shitload of supporters on the east coast????

 

[Mezz]

They lost 20% on the ladder

 

[wayToGo_]

With all that's just happened most would have missed them releasing a new slogan...

Their drafting has been pretty ordinary lately. Since Masten onwards they keep picking the same type of uninspiring, vanilla mid.

For all the talk on our first round drafting, WC have done a terrible job. They've used first rounders to get Masten, Gaff, Shuey, Sheppard, Sheed, Duggan, Wellingham and Redden. It's a woeful return. Only two good players, and even those guys are a rung beneath the top line mids going round.

We will start as favourites.

Imagine Crisp and Weller instead of Sheed and Duggan. And of course you could throw Fyfe and Blakely in too.

What utter s**t was that from west coast surely we are odds on favourites to win next weekend

I know it's early but this years isn't exactly setting the world on fire in the 2's either.

And yet I was having a conversation with a WC supporter a couple of weeks ago about how bad Carltons drafting was during the Malthouse years and he somehow found a way to bring Freo into the conversation saying "you've got to admit that your club hasn't done a great job either".

 

[Deveraux]

Shuey is no Fyfe but he's up there with the best of them

 

[wayToGo_]

Shuey is no Fyfe.
