West Coast Eagles - Top 4?

[EagleShore]

Answer to OP = no.

I called it several rounds ago after the loss to Adelaide at Subi. Kind of felt it most of the season to be honest.

 

[kranky al]

Meh - time to start thinking about who im going to go for when we get knocked out

Whoever can knock hawthorn off really - so sydney i guess.

Silly comment. We are in 2016 not 2015. You guys are clearly not the same side.

Silly comment in response to a silly comment. A BigFooty special.

This thread is wonderful...a joy to behold

Don't deserve to be in the 8 tbh.

Funny you should say that - there's been talk at the higher levels of the AFL about disregarding our win-loss ratio at the end of the regular season and giving our top 8 spot to a more deserving side.

 

[WestCoast05]

Wow talk about making up the numbers in finals.

We will be talking about making up the numbers in the finals as, y'know, we are numbered amongst those who will be playing finals.

Are there any gun midfielders that West Coast can get at the end of the season ? That seems to be the obvious gap in this team.

I get the feeling that we've been masterfully trolled by a 15 year old over the last 5 or so pages (who then had the temerity to be calling others virgins when he's spending the start of his prime oat-sewing years on BF.)

 

[JackOutback]

That'd be a no then.

Nic Nat will improve the team, hopefully enough to stay ahead of Dogs and Roos, snag a home final and give the kids two weeks of finals experience.

Damn, we need another quality midfielder though.

Has been the gap since Kerr's last full season.

Can someone remind me what the Dockers supporters are chirpy about?

-We're battling to make the top 4
-They're battling to make it out of the bottom 4

Reality check guys, your team sucks a lot more

West Coast's a discrace

lol. what?

 

[greatwhiteshark]

West Coast's a discrace

We are not a disgrace but we are trying to compete against good AFL sides with a WAFL mid tier level midfield.
Been like that for a while though and no coach has addressed it. Only got ourselves to blame.

 

[frenchfri12]

Collingwood is a good AFL side? Lol

No - it was at the MCG, that's why the Pies won. The Eagles beat the Pies in Perth earlier this year, then on the return meeting the game is played at the MCG.....the Pies excel there, the Eagles don't, Pies win. At the end of the day it all comes down to home ground advantage and whether the home side can take advantage of it and if the visiting team can overcome it.

 

[greatwhiteshark]

No but they have an AFL midfield. We don't.

West coast have a decent foundation, but they may need a mini rebuild. Not enough skill in the middle and some tough calls need to made on guys like lecras

 

[gym4life]

No but they have an AFL midfield. We don't.

Such a ridiculous statement, our midfield would be top 10 when everyone is fit.

Everyone sticking the boot in but, naturally, you focus solely on us. s**t, we're actually way kinder than most West Coast fans right now man, some of the stuff being written about Mackenzie is appalling.

You're kidding yourself!

Yes yes but we are in the afl not the wafl so yeah nah

 

[kaiserchief13]

The team is cooked for 2016. The midfield needs a massive overhaul. May have to trade a decent forward/defender in order to land a good mid.
