Game Day West Coast Eagles vs. Sydney Swans - Round 16

[gazzathegreat]

First time in club history we've had back to back 90 pt thumpings at the same venue.

 

[Altum Volantes]

Well. If that doesn’t spark a ‘crisis meeting’ then we are the most chilled club in the comp.

 

[CoastersFlag No.5]

Strong wooden spoon vibes.

 

[Westend]

How have we been “awful” the last three years. Jesus. Someone compared it to the Ken Judge years.

Today has been horseshit and indefensibly bad. How have the last three years been awful

Man its looking pretty bad atm....to be fair .Judge had a crap list our lot are talented but they are not performing to there best....thats on the leadership of the group and simmo as coach

this reminds me a lot of 89 when you had a fractured playing group.

 

[Wet Toast Rule]

would they sack Simmo though?
No doubt the game plan is cooked and so is the list
But is he likely to be allowed to rebuild?

 

[DanWA]

there is a good 5 players who need to be dropped

 

[Free Agent]

This is what happens when you share a plane with Cockburn.

We have the Freovirus in us.

We gonna need to isolate and deep clean that plane. This seems way worse then covid.

The club should have stuck phat and called his bluff over leaving for more coin.

When he signed that long term deal is about when this rot started settling in.

I thought gov was okay today not overly good but not overly bad

Definitely caught the loser from them.

Ch 7 should consider cancelling the delayed telecast to Perth.
I prefer to watch the West Coast Fever than the West Coast Eagles now.

McGovern is a net negative and they pay him $1.2 million a year as well. He was great a few years ago but he has been one of the worst KPD's in the league the past 2-3 years and he is getting paid as the 3rd best player in the league......pretty unlucky that the game evolved and has made him so bad at the same time when he signed a huge contract. Unlucky for WC that was, very unlucky

Yeah pretty unfortunate for our list management Gov and Gaff our 2 highest paid players and both have declined alot in the past 2 years need to get rid of at least one of those contracts off the books

 

[Westend]

Yes if they keep producing performances like this

Its obvious now that there is an issue with this group....we have the talent just not the leadership or strength of character to produce better results

 

[amazingjoshy]

Won't make the 8

Play the kids

 

[Woobla Stainz]

i think we have some work to do. I bet Simmo agrees.

We have learnt alot though right?

 

[Mulldogg]

Sheed with 38 touches and I reckon he was trash.

Yep I feel sorry for the people that don’t have fox or Kayo and are about to sit down and watch that crap.

 

[Bacchus]

Was expecting bigger melts in here, it's almost like we've all passed anger and are firmly in the disappointment zone.

Shattered, numbed zone.

I am at acceptance in the grief scale. It was just the Richmond game that gave me false hope. Then I realised they are s**t too….

People on here love to deride other teams as being poor. Swans have a great depth of young tallent and are a far more even team than us. They have a strong development system through their reserves that has been in place for 20 years, We dont yet.
Wait to we play Melbourne who some expect to implode under our brilliance.

We have many palyers who through extended injurty are not fit - you only get fit in the pre season not duirng the season. So, this can not be solved. Fatigue makes cowards of us all. We have a bunch of players not up to AFL level. We have relied on recruiting the left overs from other teams - not a great formula in the long run. The draft has killed us for years, teams like the swans have feasted.

We players some kids and generally they were not up to it bar Jones to an extent. Patience will be required.

Also, Sydney is a tough town - only winners prosper in business and sport. Perth isnt.
Financially the Swans are a basket case. But they are smart.

Surely paying overs for Kelly was worse. We didnt even need another midfielder

 

[Bacchus]

Biggest loss since 1987 to Sydney. This side is cooked.

No idea how to play this ground and it’s totally in their heads. Lost before they even walked out on the ground.
Coaching massacre, is he going to resign tonight?

Denial in 1st qtr
Anger early in 2nd qtr
Bargaining at ht
Depression in 3rd qtr
Acceptance in 4th qtr

To be honest, the St Kilda game had me at the depressive state - the acceptance already arrived last week.

Yup looking like this trade is going to hurt us for years

 

[EagleEgo]

In fact it is the opposite. I feel sorry for those who have tortured themselves in the last 2.5 hours watching that crap.

Well that was fun. Commiserate in the positives and negatives thread.
