Mega Thread WCE: When is the first win? How do we fix this mess? Can we see any improvement at all?

[gravy_86]

Honestly no idea. Mind you no one thought Richmond would win a game this year so we'll bob up and get one somewhere.

But let's be honest, everyone would've realistically thought we'd be 0-4 or 1-3 now if we beat GC or pinched another Derby anyway, it's the fact the team's looked lifeless besides that first half against Brisbane that's pissed me off.

 

[Seadog]

Coupla days.

 

[Astro7]

With pre-season rose coloured glasses on, I thought conservatively we'd win maybe 2 more games than last year.
At this stage, I have no idea how many wins we'll have. We might be lucky to match 2024's wins. Might be less. Too early to call. I know things can change quickly in football, but not sure this is the season for that to happen. Stranger things have happened.

 

[sharps24]

I'm picking Hawthorn away for the lolz. Our first win and their first loss.

This is happening, certainty.

 

[Plague]

I'd genuinely give us maybe a 55% chance of winning a game this season. Really struggling to see how we can be competitive for an entire match.

 

[CursoryMercenary]

Don't know I'd say Melbourne are gettable on their day.

 

[ep2018]

Next week against Essendon, their second away game in a row coming off a 6 day break.

 

[ziad]

We may not but history says we will and they will probably be unexpected.

 

[Pwani Magharibi]

2026.

 

[Dark Sharks]

We don't.

I'm actually thinking, unless we randomly catch a spud team napping we'll go winless in 2025.

Amazing to think we won 5 games last year. We don't look anywhere near it.

 

[WCErevival]

We won't win anything with the midfield we currently have. The loss of Yeo and Kelly's form slump has killed us. Even Sheed would have been ok as an experienced head. Harley looks to have lost interested and is likely to leave. Not sure why he isn't playing the whole game in the middle.

Now we are stuck with kids and makeshift midfielders like Baker and Duggan.

2027

The pessimist in me says...

1. No win until at least 2026.
2. Harley Reid says he wants out.
3. Oscar Allen

says he's out as a FA.
4. The AFL says no additional compensation as it's all our own fault (unlike Norf and GC, where somehow it wasn't)

The optimist in me says...

1. Best chance R19 at home vs. Richmond.
2. We might miracle win 1 or 2 before then.

The realist in me says...

1. See what the pessimist said.

Ine backed us at $6,50 to be winless after round ten but actually think we should pinch 2 or 3 by then .

good bet where the hell u get those odds??

 

[Cuzz09]

If we can't win 1 game in the next 2 months then we will go winless

Play some strugglers but the strugglers are all better than us so we need an injury ravaged struggler to have a horrible and innacurate day v us

Where? I was chasing winless odds all week but couldn’t find a betting agency that had it.

 

[Eastern Rangers]

Short term - When is Gov back? - Not before then.

Longer term -
When Yeo gets back - he won’t play before Round 10 but given he will take a month or two to approach decent form, I reckon….

Round 19 vs Richmond @ Optus.

****.

Gov isn't that important. Our rot is across the board.

 

[kaiserchief13]

North and Richmond in WA, other than that doubt any win. May not win both or either too. Good chance to be 0-23 or 1-22

 

[ioppolo]

We beat the Bulldogs out of nowhere in 2023. A win will come from somewhere

 

[random260]

I hope we don't win a game at all.

It's what are list management and recruiters deserve

I want the destruction of the club to be laid bare. This is so Eagles nuffies finally snap and get angry.

You get what you deserve and there has never been a more deserving side to be a team never win a game all season

You're an absolute moron.

Ease up, it’s our club and you get behind the team to get better and find a way, not hope for further destruction to…’punish’ people who literally do not work at the club anymore.

 

[Cuzz09]

Doubt we beat Essendon. Too speedy up forward for our lumberers

 

[Woutizmoo]

I'm going with sometime in 2027
