West coast in crisis talks between players and coaches

[jj1978]

They've had recent success. They topped up with players and gave away some picks, been hit with injuries. I think best to assess come end of season how the trend is looking. AFL would be more concerned with North as the saviour in Clarko hasn't delivered.

Like John Elliot being a multi generational bad influence on Carlton. Don Pyke's genius management will be felt for generations.

Just seen on Agenda setters tonight Caroline Wilson reporting that WC leadership group meeting today was very heated with Jeremy McGovern in particularly vocal

Most of the issues seem to be revolved around the direction of the team under the current coaching group

Don pyke heavily involved again too.
Apparently it’s not the first time the clubs new CEO (and former AFL coach)has meddled directly in the teams football issues.

Considering the number of applicants who declined the eagles head coaching position , including some former club champions ,is Andrew Mcqualters coaching career already on borrowed time only 7 games into it?

Most pathetic part about this is she didnt credit Will Schofield with the news who was the person who actually reported it....when it happened...... 2 weeks ago......which McGovern spoke about on radio after it was reported on......

Well you are talking about Caroline 'a source close to the club told me' Wilson.....

Pyke just rubs me as a charlatan. Managerial class that adds no value and throws others under the bus.

 

[WeaponX]

Its actually kind of a paradigm shift being bad for this period, no expectations or chance of finals for a few years. Everyone in here knows we will turn it around after the AFL intervenes, I've said it before West Coast losing by large margins is an AFL product problem and they will want to quickly rectify. But so far the crowds are still turning up, don't know how much longer but. Going on teams like the Saints, Rihcmond and Carlton when they were losing we should of already seen the drop off so maybe the loyalty of the WA fan can pull them through and out the other side.

Why was McGovern so vocal when they have 2 captains that should have been the ones

Time to make Liam Baker

The tail is wagging this dog too much

No prizes for guessing who the micromanaging senior figure would be

 

[GastevsBeard]

Pyke has always struck me as a total campaigner and fraud.

was about to chime in with the same

bloke seems poisonous, from a governance, player welfare & basic human care perspective

It might be time to go on a camp for some bonding.

 

[BigVic]

Might be time for a rebrand at the club. West Coast doesn't feel right as we have Greater WESTern Sydney and WESTern Bulldogs

 

[Yellow Feathers]

The train wreck has been coming for years. Obvious to those on the outside but for some reasons WC kept playing Nic Nat, Gaff, Shuey etc and refused to rebuild.

As long as they’ve got money in the bank I don’t think the AFL will be too concerned.

Going to be another 3-4 long years though I think trying to rebuild into some super compromised drafts.

you'd think he learn from his time at Adelaide and how that ended up.

McQualter himself mentioned it after it happened, as he repeatedly pointed out in his press conference this morning.

Amazing 'scoop' from Caro.

hilarious this thread has been started by an obsessed freo numpty

a club that has achieved nothing besides failure, irrelevance and embarrassment in 30+ years

is there a more delusional supporter base in world sport ?

I will back the current eagles board on this current rebuild.

Remember look at the 2010 AFL draft. Gold coast had 9 of the 1st 15 picks.

Yet... West coast used pick 4 on Andrew Gaff. Nailed both 2nd Round picks getting Scott Lycett and Darling. Topped off the draft in getting McGovern on the rookie list.

Team meeting=crisis talks? I hope the journos don't see the fluff piece on our site about "the last book you read", they'll call it a literacy crisis at Collingwood.

Which tbh it kinda is...IQ took 4 months to read "the Secret" which was discredited as a hoax/scam decades ago

And where are those good old fashioned values on which we used to rely?

Seriously how has the club departed from family values? Are they training in fishnets?

 

[Piggy Smalls]

Sack that lazy piece of crap McGovern the worst post 2018 club cancer since NicNat

We always hear in WA the Eagles haven't even bottomed out yet, expect the worst in 2027, since McGovern is still there. Then sack him so you can get on with the whole bottoming out thing in 2025 and not waste another 2 years

Also I feel sad for McQualter but any coach should have known taking the WC job was a death sentence so it's his own fault, he had no hope from day 1

I'm all for a West Coast pile on but McGovern is their best player by a mile and actually appears to give a shit.

Sorry, are we below discussing footy with other team's supporters because a bunch of men we've never met haven't yet won while wearing our colours?

It's a genuine footy story. There aren't many better resourced and financially massive sporting teams in Australia than the 'pride of the West' Eagles. Why are they still so woefully shit? Why do they have so little to show for it? Why do all of their good players want out? Why did nobody want to coach them?

If you look up Hubris in the dictionary it gives you the GPS co-ordinates for Lathlain.

one day you might realize your club's perpetual failure has nothing to do with WC
but sure keep deflecting if it makes you feel better

and 'players wanting out' and 'nothing to show for it'....hilarious irony

its funny when the irrelevant clubs join forces
