Autopsy AFL 2023 Round 22 - Eagles v Dockers Sat Aug 12th 8:10pm EST/6:10pm WST (OS)

[masai tu]

I think so. Why are they parking the bus? They need to go for a 118 pt victory

Can’t park the bus, the Eagles are already occupying that space.

[CakeEater]

The rising star slots it.

 

[cactuscall]

105 problems now.

 

[BFew]

I thought the game would be over by now.

Switch off in the 3Q to concentrate on the round balls.

At least they scored one goal since Q1.

 

[BFew]

They need another few BF voting categories just for us.

The "Pathetic" and ">100 points "options.

 

[situationz]

West Coast's 5th 100 point loss for the season- equal AFL record with GWS 2012 and 2013

 

[fnerd]

Gee really thought the eagles were brave

 

[cactuscall]

Schultz just about ran out of footy cliches between the post match interview and that speech.

Get ready everyone, the RAC trophy is coming out!!

 

[kozi]

Schultz won on a most boundaries count back

 

[Randomizor]

The question needs to be asked: Were the eagles doing everything to win in the last 5 Minutes?

 

[Daka]

What's the record for the most 100 point losses in a season? WC must be getting close no?

Close?.. their the clubhouse leader
Mighty club

5 is the most- west coast just equalled that with GWS.

 

[Daka]

This is easily the worst WC team. but I think they are a top club & should be back as a contender in a few years time get quality picks like Reid & Build.

I dont know...

Dockers in 2017 was bad... Yeah I enjoyed those 8 wins.

But some of those 14 losses... an 89 point loss to Port. losing to the crows by 100 points 143-43 was bad.

then those back to back 104 point losses to swans and tigers.

 

[naysayer]

The eagles have a lot of injuries though

 

[Piggy Smalls]

Well, despite the worst season from a club in AFL history, WCE had the most members of any club last year, and have gone over 100k again this year, as of the 25th of July.

I'd say that's pretty good for 'fair weather' supporters.

100k members and only 20k at the game at 3QT screams fair weather to me.

 

[bzparkes]

100k members and only 20k at the game at 3QT screams fair weather to me.

51k turned up. I think thats reasonable.

Watching the team get belted by 100 point every week gets tiring, I guess.

You can twist it however you want to fit your narrative, however 'fair weather' refers to supporters who only turn up when the team is going good, and stay away when they aren't.

Our fans are still turning up/buying memberships.

I agree the fans have been supportive. Too supportive, actually. I'd be on boycott until they sacked Simpson, think it'll happen this week, though.

Doubtful.

Club has never historically succumbed to outside noise, hence Cornes being continually pissed they haven't sacked anyone and labelling the club as 'Arrogant'.

Reckon they'll expect some kind of presentation to the board during the off season on the plan moving forward and give him until the bye, with a fit list, to hit whatever KPIs they determine.

This is the same club that wanted to extend a clearly cooked Woosha, who had to step away himself. They're usually too conservative the other way.

Don't know if the club has ever been this bad, historically.

Second 100+ point loss to a bottom 4 team, without the injuries to hide behind this time. Nothing to gain by sacking him halfway through next year.

Err, there's plenty of injuries to 'hide' behind.

Then there's the fact that the flu went through the team this week.

Compound with this with WCE not having an inside mid in the starting 22(other than Yeo's who's playing defence) and this outcome was completely predictable.

 

[BFew]

The eagles have a lot of injuries though

Lots of Eagles fans injured too, with the way the club is performing most weeks.

You and stallon are actually the funniest thing on bigfooty.

"The eagles are improving, they just had the flu".
