West Coast - time for a rebuild?

[Shueygod]

You'd hope so because you cannot get much worse at the moment tbh.

Promising signs in the first six games only to get embarrassed last night.

That team was clearly very sorry and carrying 5-6 blokes that our wafl standard.

Hard for anyone to look good in those conditions.

 

[Blue1980]

Find the talk of “it’s going to get worse when the old blokes leave” interesting considering they never play and when they do it’s usually not great.

There is only improvement in this team from here.

Yes it will be like having an extra 10 players on your list when they leave as they’re permanently injured.

 

[fnerd]

Don’t worry bout just a rebuild the entire club needs to be blown up and started again with a full clean out of management
In inevitable narcissistic style Nisbitts held on too long and can’t let go.

But as usual instead of reflection from within (no doubt at nissys request)all the WA media have reported on is how many players want out of Fremantle, nothing , nada , zilch heat on WC pathetic performances.

Uhhhhhh

 

[Cuzz09]

we're trying to rebuild but our framework keeps getting blown over and our old bricks are not what they used to be.

Hoping we have some luck on the weather front over the next 2 years so we can see how solid the bones of the new place will be.

Sounds like you need a more reputable builder then!

May I suggest this guy?…..

I wonder if the houses we "helped" build in Cambodia are a shambles now too?

He oversees mediocrity

No thanks

The rebuild has started. It’s unfortunate the squad has been obliterated by injures for the good part of two seasons now, and are playing guys from the outer reaches of their list.

I don’t see how you could have other expectations than a bottom 4 finish. So why move on from Simmo?

 

[cactuscall]

I didn't realise just how bad it was until i heard that WCE have won 2 of their past 27 games.

Yeah you guys killing atm

 

[Priddis Is Done]

Yeah you guys killing atm

And yet you have nothing to show for 28 years

 

[Altum Volantes]

Holy shit, did Freo just win 2 on the trot?

 

[fnerd]

Do you live your entire life in the past as well seeing you live vicariously through your football team?

That's certainly one way of interpreting reality

In answer to the OP I think we need a rebuild yes. Simpson will get a few more years to oversee the start of it and then be moved on.

Nisbett is well past his used by date and should already be gone.

Not likely to get much better TBH.

I don't think we'll win many more than maybe 1 this year

I reckon they split pick 1 into multiple picks to help the rebuild

Instead of Reid the flight risk who may leave straight away ala JHF

If Reid is as good as they say we draft him. I don't think this time we care about flight risk BS.

There too much of that last few years and clubs use it to draft tamper. Its time we just draft regardless. This is a National Comp isn't it.

Players need to deal with it or let's just not have a National Comp. Stick with VFL and be done with it.

They look as Melbourne during our dark years.

We ended up Splitting Pick 2 in 2013 for multiple picks/players which fast tracked our rebuild. Eagles should consider the same if the offer was right.

Melbourne experts won't dictate what the Eagles do. We split last year and if Harley Reid is as good as they say we won't this time around.

That spin that's happening in Vic doing the rounds is up. Yes we needed it last season but not this year we won't. Times now right for Eagles to go with what's best for them. Splitting picks isn't right if you have an outstanding number 1 draft pick.

We take the next superstar and build around it. We know we are not instantly going to come good. Splitting picks can be stupid if you fail the second pick which is likely going by history.

How many top 10 picks end up making it. I'd say only 6 do and 4 end up being shit.
Is not worth the risk. Eagles will draft Reid and be done with it.

Did it?

2 + 20 + 72 for Dom Tyson + Pick 9 + 53.

Salem is a good pick up but Dom Tyson played less than 100 games before being traded and pretty sure that pick 53 became Jay Kennedy Harris who played less than 50 games before being delisted. Vince was traded in for the priority pick you received.

I think Josh Kelly would've accelerated the rebuild as well as being better long term, same reason I feel West Coast will be better off keeping pick 1.

We thought Jack Watts would save us as well.

On face value you need multiple young players to fast track your list, if the offer is something similar to what Adelaide offered North Melbourne a couple of years ago you would be crazy not to consider it.

WCE list is decimated by injuries, not surprising their in their current situation

 

[daniel23]

Said it at the start of the season. It will be the worst list in the last 20 years in 1/2 years time when the names the eagles supporters keep throwing up as to the reason they are terrible retire.

They have Allen and ginbey outside of that there isn't much, and I have doubts ginbey becomes the star they all expect him to be, was never a natural ball winner in juniors and so far is translating at senior level.
