Game Day Round 3, 2024: West Coast vs Western Bulldogs

[NYRB]

Our list is already significantly worse than any other team and only going to get worse once our remaining veterans retire. Other than Reid there's really nothing obvious coming through.

Don’t want to bring bad news but the Eagles list might be down the AFL for at least the next 4 years. I had the Eagles pencilled in for 5 wins as a bit of an improvement from last year but even 5 wins looks a long way off at the moment.

I wonder how many fans will be willing to spend 4x $800 a seat for systemic shithousery?

I just got a full seated membership after 6 years in the.wings and im somewhat regretting it.

I think the one thing a new coach can bring is a lift in intensity.

A change in coach changes the entire dynamic.

All of a sudden players need to prove their wares to someone. Also brings fresh energy. There is a sense that players aren’t willing to work hard defensively and do the hard stuff.

I'm going to drive from Geelong to Adelaide to watch us be dismembered by Sydney next weekend. I'm questioning my sanity however.

I hear you. I made the trip to Sydney last season for the 171 point mauling. The highlight of the day was lifting our banner with pride. It was painful but of course I stayed until the very end (as I always do) I expect next week's thumping to be half of the above margin representing a 50% improvement, if that's any consolation

Thread is starting to sound like a Clarke and Dawe skit.

Like a bureaucrat talking up all the positives, saying it felt like it should have been 8 goal loss rather than 12, so chin up.

As if we’re not 3 years into this unwatchable garbage.

 

[eagles rule]

did Cripps try to get a cheap stat shot on goal calling for a 10 m pass ?

Find your own ball campaigner ..

No sense in changing horses mid season- that will cost us 1.6 million extra.

Just wait till end of year and another pick.

So literally waste another season and let Simmo stall their development to save a few bucks?

Christ, Jones is 'maybe we should bring back Witherden' bad.

Dewar surely.

If we go back to the like of Witherden and Gaff - we’re truly cooked and limited future

He really hasn’t.

His work in the stoppage has been elite, but his high up and under kicks blindly forward have been killer.

I’d love to know how many of those kicks have led directly to Bulldogs scores.

Up and under kicking not confined to Yeo. It’s a widespread malaise.

Who are we going to get in the middle of a season?

I’d prefer the water boy as coach atm
