Re: Salem yet another

Salem is a very good player and always has been. We are not Robinson Crusoe being a team who he plays well against.

Re: Harley Reagles vs Saints

This game will be hell for us due to umpiring. Look at the free kick diff last week- not just raw numbers, what about the freedom the Dees got- yet we got pinged for stuff they got away with. Crowd noise always helps WCE. I've seen every Perth game in person since 98, and the noise the crowd makes ...

Re: "As far from a flag as anyone in the league"

Cheapshot Cornes and Matthew "Mensa" Lloyd have now got us as far from a flag as any club in the league. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Un1D8GMyLX4 Personally, considering our tough draw, injury list and close losses, I would ahve thought a couple of weeks ago that we could get back into...

Re: Harley Reagles vs Saints

There were some excellent performances in the magoos again today. I was at the G, but the stats from our midfielders were very impressive against an excellent Casey side. I would suggest if they come in next week, the Eagles will face a very different St Kilda side than the one that took the field a...

Re: Ross Lyon Looks ahead to Narrm - Pressser

Loved Ratts I didn't have a problem with him, he had the same problem Lyon is having with regards to access to his first choice players. It's always been a really hard club to coach for one reason and one reason alone, lack of talent. It's perpetually frustrating that most of our fans don't get tha...

Re: Ross Lyon Looks ahead to Narrm - Pressser

If Lyon wasn't our coach, there is no way we play finals last year with the injuries we had for the first half of the season. No chance! A few weeks ago, we would have beaten by twice as much against the Dogs if he wasn't coaching. RTB can clearly coach, and I am certainly a lot more confident in o...

Re: For the "In Ross we Trust" brigade

Our preseason form was fine, but after one game we lost Crouch. He hasn't played since. Clark hasn't played at all. Two of our best midfielders have played 1 game out of a possible 22 between them. I think it's time we were all a bit more realistic. We will probably make it close tomorrow. If we can...

I don't think height is the be all and end all. Doesn't matter how tall you are if you can't mark the thing or get your hands on the pill!

BF for the dumb ones on here sacking the coach in yr2 ***** As has been mentioned before, I do see Ross being the Paul Roos at Melbourne-type figure to fix this club and put it on the right track. Is he the bloke who wins us a flag? Unlikely, in my opinion. However, whoever takes over will have the...

I'm watching the Zebs on channel 7. Hunter Clark is in everything. Not only is he clean, but he directs traffic. He understands the game and he is a leader on the field Ross Lyon was criticising his midfielders last night. He deflects blame away from himself What the footy world must realise is tha...

What happened last year - with the same list? Is Jack Steele the new Seb Ross?! Steele is clearly playing under duress. He is literally taking one for the team right now. When Clark and Crouch come back - hopefully next week, I imagine Steele will have to be managed. Rumour is his knee is hampering...

Re: Sack Lyon

Freo have an experienced and pretty good midfield. They also have a very decent backline. We are currently having to play 7 or 8 skinny kids every week and up to 10 players who have played less than 50 games, and in several cases, less than 10 games.

if you don't think ross is taking a long term view you don't know footy. or you're simply blind to your bias. all the game time given to kids that should be in the vfl is to fast track them. wins are secondary. old ross rarely gave kids an opportunity, because we were a contender. best 22 for the h...

I knew in my own mind tonight that if we kicked 2 or 3 goals in the first quarter and were behind even by a point at quarter time that we wouldn't win the game. And that was exactly what happened.
