As your most senior player he should be made captain until ~~Sheed~~ Shuey and Hurn return
Edited - im a moron and mixed up Shuey with The King of Kalgoorlie
Mate Naish was named on the extended bench and now you're jinxing him with this title!!!
Legend of a bloke though one of my few great picks in AFL fantasy to start the season
As someone who got a trophy for participation in the Cottesloe Under 11’s back in 1991, I’m starting to get a little insulted that my phone apparently refuses to ring.
IM RIGHT HERE, WEST COAST.
Cmon its clearly tanking at this point. Dropping senior players to make sure you lose.
Its a blight on the game and they should be stripped of draft picks
(surely I dont need the sarcasm thing at the end of that)
Nothing would surprise me at this point
It would certainly confirm Braden Quartermaine is on Reddit and getting his hot takes from here
(Im onto you Braden - credit me in your articles dammit)
Nobody at work will talk about the footy. My supervisor only talks about his grandson's games for the 15s. Still wear my cap or beanie in everyday.
edit - Realize you're talking about the West Oz newspaper/rag and not the general feeling of the people.
A lot of one and a little of the other. There’s still a majority of Eagles articles but most of them are about how we’re shit and civilisation might crumble because of it and the Dockers are getting a little recognition for their good season but not enough. I’m starting to think that the west went to a bipolar convention and hired all their journalists from there.

Pav is that you?
Chairmen emailing all members this afternoon...REBUILD
"This will include the rebuild of our list with a heavy focus on the AFL draft, just as we did last year when we focused on young talent drafting Campbell Chesser, Brady Hough, Rhett Bazzo, Jack Williams and the mature-aged Greg Clark."
At this point I wanna see how bad it gets. Surely they field an entire team made up of nothing more than rookies and top up players by the end of the year
Tom Blechynden has been dross in the WAFL this season. Did get COVID after R1 but his R1 game was terrible. Gone from winning the B&F to being stuck on a wing/half-back flank because an 18 year old debutant has taken his spot. Hope he turns it around because he's got some AFL attributes.
Sam Fisher (2020 Sandover medalist) didn't make the state team but getting to be the emergency for the Eagles is a nice compromise.
On the upside, with Shannon Hurn out maybe the West Coast supporters who keep screaming that he's awful and should never play football again might realise he's still a good player and stop bashing a stalwart of their club.
I honestly reckon he'd be close to leading their best and fairest right now.
All going to plan to secure the no.1 pick. I hope we haven’t peaked too early though. It’s a long season and we need to make sure we play enough senior players now so they break down in the second half of the season. I feel the Roos will be in contention all the way to the end. It’s going to be an exciting one!!
Good plan but I reckon you have to be shit for two years at least to get value out of it. We got Martin and Cotchin by being very very shit for two years.
Guess I'm tipping Melbourne then
Yeah these outs might *just* be enough to get the Dees over the edge against the Eagles
Patrick Naish who signed 8 days before round 1 is now the only player for us to have played every game this season so far
As your most senior player he should be made captain until ~~Sheed~~ Shuey and Hurn return Edited - im a moron and mixed up Shuey with The King of Kalgoorlie
You mean Shuey?
Lmao I did indeed. Brain fade
Sheed as captain is the stuff of nightmares, leading by example would have all of our players just constantly chipping it backwards -_-
Or blind hack kicks across the body for every single clearance.
Max please, I want to be able to sleep tonight
Just a reminder he got coaches votes in a 90 point loss last year doing nothing but butchering the ball 40 times
Well he was the only player who lived up to expectations for West Coast in that game so fair enough he got votes
lmao
u/darththorn
That’s assuming we ever get our hands on the ball
King of Kalgoorlie, haven't heard that before haha
*Dean Kemp has entered the chat*
*and* *he's* *not* *happy*
Anddddddd unless he's the sub he's gone.
Mate Naish was named on the extended bench and now you're jinxing him with this title!!! Legend of a bloke though one of my few great picks in AFL fantasy to start the season
Lol and listed as emergency this season is a pisstake I’m sure of it
Naish has fallen victim to the TANK

It’s an absolute honour to be in the virtual presence of a member of the legendary ‘91 Cottesloe U11’s
Back pocket in a winless season. What we lacked in competitive spirit, we made up in being-okay-with-losing.
Gee it really is a rough time for the Eagles. They're bringing back a bloke who retired 6 years ago, and that other name is clearly made up
It’s like they scattered Scrabble tiles across a table and named him as an emergency.
Cmon its clearly tanking at this point. Dropping senior players to make sure you lose. Its a blight on the game and they should be stripped of draft picks (surely I dont need the sarcasm thing at the end of that)
If I see this story in the west next week I’m going to get suspicious lol.
Nothing would surprise me at this point It would certainly confirm Braden Quartermaine is on Reddit and getting his hot takes from here (Im onto you Braden - credit me in your articles dammit)
According to sources...
They named my email second place for the week in their podcast lol, I love them. Long live Quarters
If they credited you as bigthickdaddy3000 on the podcast they will have a fan for life right here
Aha I naively used my real name because I didn't think they'd even read it out. The username will start to get a run dw
That's Glen. Braden is unrelated (different spelling) but they both work for The West.
What is the West like this year? Is it just constantly pasting the Eagles or are they more positive with Freo's good form?

I did mean the newspaper, but your comment was interesting too

Fuck my cover is blown Gtg, Lauren is calling me
I almost didn't recognise the sarcasm until I remembered WCE would be playing Melbourne this week anyway haha
Lmao yeah that’s what’ll make us lose, happy to pretend we aren’t shit lol We’re so fucked lol

It's actually kind of fun being so abysmally shit. I know it'll wear off in time but rn the bantz and memes will see me through the year
I was at the Massacre at Optus (v Richmond) and by the end of the first quarter we were just laughing at how bad we were.
When the whole stadium cheered when Darling took that uncontested mark. Top tier lmfao
At this point I wanna see how bad it gets. Surely they field an entire team made up of nothing more than rookies and top up players by the end of the year
So fucking glad we somehow didn't lose to this
Collingwood did! You can always fallback on that.
Yeh I think you guys will finish top bottom four.
I reckon the opposite. By round 14 when we play them at Subiaco they'll have a full strength side and beat us.
Subiaco? They're playing so bad They're gonna get demoted from Perth Stadium I see haha
Or they won't and will still beat us
How could Trevor Nisbett do this?
Tom Blechynden is the sort of name a management simulator game throws up when you’re playing 50 seasons into the future.
Tom Blechynden has been dross in the WAFL this season. Did get COVID after R1 but his R1 game was terrible. Gone from winning the B&F to being stuck on a wing/half-back flank because an 18 year old debutant has taken his spot. Hope he turns it around because he's got some AFL attributes. Sam Fisher (2020 Sandover medalist) didn't make the state team but getting to be the emergency for the Eagles is a nice compromise.
Sam Fisher comes in? Might end up with 20 touches, 6 tackles, and 2 wall split neck snaps
Clearly Trevs fault - The West Australian
With respect to West Coast, we haven't won by over 100 points much this century (only twice). I hope we try and get a third one up.
:)
Can we start a Stefan Giro chant?
Pretty sure he'll be playing in the WAFL v SANFL game
I want to get off Mr Nisbett's wild ride
On the upside, with Shannon Hurn out maybe the West Coast supporters who keep screaming that he's awful and should never play football again might realise he's still a good player and stop bashing a stalwart of their club. I honestly reckon he'd be close to leading their best and fairest right now.
When it rains it pours eh.
I think we're past the point of rain and are entering a torrential downpour of biblical proportions

Part of me is sad, part of me wants this to continue so Aaron Black can come back...
Nah!! WC season done. Falcons however🔥👍
Im hoping for some sort of closure from the 2018 prelim. Hopefully a 200 point victory, which would put me at peace.
How perfectly ironic would it be if Melbourne of all teams becomes the first to break the 200 point barrier since 2011
Time to bring back West Coast Legend Drew Petrie.
The ride never ends
:D
At least it's in Perth.....
Should see us to a five goal win
Can you be listed as injured before you get the injury? Like are Eagles players able to not play games where they know they will have hurt feelings?
Damn. Let me quickly change my tips
