NON-MFC: Rd 15 2023

[YearOfTheDees 3,266]

They need three goals in a minute and there's only one side I know that can do that.

Perilously close to a 186 point loss. A couple of misses just now will put the kybosh on that

Dam it. Not going to happen 

[YearOfTheDees 3,266]

West Coast Percentage down to only 47%

[Gawndy the Great 9,011]

Still don’t understand why we got rid of Hunt. I feel so sorry for him having to live through this garbage.

Enjoy while it lasts. Would you put money on them not winning a flag by 2029?

Its the Eagles . They' ll get loads of love from Dillon . Its how the corporate world works. Their supporters  will still turn up because they know.  Will Stkilda win a flag before them?

i would put my house on them not winning a flag by 2029. 

this isn’t just a tanking year. they have done major damage to their list. name their good players under 27yo

theyll get some good kids but all the senior guys leaving in the next couple years will hurt. they haven’t hit bottom yet

This has been coming for West Coast. I've been surprised their fanbase haven't mutinied already but surely today is the final straw. Simpson out for starters but the whole club is rotten, top to bottom. May they languish for the next decade.

Their list manager appointments have been atrocious:
2010 - Craig Vozzo
2014 - Adrian Battiston
2016 - Brady Rawlings
2019 - Darren Glass
2021 - Rohan O'Brien

In the last 10 years, 5 appointments. We have had 1 in that time

Oscar Allen, Reuben Ginbey, Elijah Hewitt off the top of my head.

And they belatedly appointed a fitness guy (very late in December last year) who had minimal experience and has been in charge of at least 15 soft tissue injuries this year

Though we have a strong percentage, most of our ladder position rivals still have games against WC. Cant take it for granted it gives us an edge over close rivals and we need to keep winning.

yep. very light on. Kelly probably under 27 still

most teams would have a couple of guns and a dozen good players under 27

What's the significance of 186? The biggest losing margin is still 190 point when we lost to Fitzroy at Waverley in 1979. 

Regarding Jayden Hunt, did any other clubs make him an offer?

One of the great things about a 23 game season is that we get to see WC get belted another 9 times.

feel for him too. 

but we got rid of him as he couldn’t perform consistently or reliably.

Go storm

Hi dice. As opposed to VFL/AFL combined?

[dice 705]

I guess so. Let's just hope one team, one day, can wipe away both records in one foul swoop

St Kilda had a % of 39.1……….in the 1900 season 🤣

I blame the Dees Team Manager for that record loss.

[biggestred 5,079]

You know what? I'd feel sorry for West coast but the way their fans have carried on over the years.... stuff em.
