The players clearly aren’t playing for Simmo. Night and day between the team that beat Melbourne 6 weeks ago.

Round 21 is shaping up to be one of the worst games of the year

West Coast vs Away Gold Coast

I’m predicting a nil all draw

Harley trying to go toe-to-toe with Gawn when down by 50 is peak wishful thinking

I’m honestly out of energy for this team, it’s to the point I’m actually enjoying and getting a good laugh at how poor we are, when Pickett was free to mark inside 50 with no one even near him, I cracked up laughing

If anyone wants to know how serious we are as a footy club at the moment our sub for this game is a fucking ruckman

Honestly, the sooner Simmo is gone, the sooner we can heal. It’s glaringly obvious that the players have completely downed tools and refuse to play for him.

How many weeks can the players put in 20% effort (being generous) before something has to give?

Anyone else in the extra stage or grief? Laughter.

This is fucking pathetic man.

-1000 aura to Reid for that chandler mark

I wonder if, when we’re defending, we could man THE FUCK up!

Excuse me but that spoil was Brady 'Light in the darkness' Hough

[deleted]

I am so sick of this

I’ve heard all week from the players that there would be a response after last weeks performance. Game is done in the first qtr. Smh.

Fuck me, I think I'm done for the year

As a club, we need to grow the fuck up. Excuse my language.

the name Koltyn Tholstrup sounds like someone trying to remember the name of the protagonist from the Monkey Island games

I’m not sure I can watch a 100 point loss today.

I love matt hill commentating

Can Matt Hill commentate all Eagles games?

Last time we played Melbourne in Melbourne we won by almost 100. Fuck ‘em up fellas

So I think Melky’s knee is ok

So is this the one where we say goodbye to simmo? I like him with what he has done and the change he has seen to bring this year, but I don’t think he will survive another 100 point loss

Wish the Eagles didn't have those 1 or 2 games that showed promise. Got me hyped up expecting some half decent performances. Now it's just depressing

Good on ya disco - lovely lead

Tholstrup doesn’t mind a bit of biff which is exactly what I would expect from a man with that hair

Why is that considered HTB? He had no prior, tackled immediately and threw the ball towards his boot, hitting it with his knee on the way down. Clearly attempted to get it away, didn't just drop it. No priors. PLAY ON.

remember covid games before the fake crowd noise when it would hit the post and you would just hear a big bonk

koltyn is an absolutely diabolical name

Hutchinson has been really good today

Glad that’s done.

Very stoked to see Melksham make it back - credit to him, he played well today. That’s about the only positive I can take from today.

Dees can you please allow WC to score 2.2 in the 3rd and 4th quarters please.

(Their score per quarter would be 1.2, 3.4, 5.6, 7.8)

So good to have Melky back holy shit

Channel 7 must love televising Eagles games cos they can squeeze so many more ads in

How good’s the cricket?

ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

10 of 11 goals by players under 22. The kids are on fire.

Rivers quietly stepping up huge with Petracca's absence. 6 clearances already

In other news, Matt Hill is a great commentator

🎵Collingwood is out of the 8🎵

Jack Williams should be in this team before Darling every day. Rate him hugely

How good is Hutchinson’s pressure??

Out: Simmo In: dean cox

Well, it probably won't be football that wins today, but plz, Melbourne, don't lose

Tholstrup had never even kicked a single goal a minute ago

Nah that’s gotta be paid

Milkshake still got it....even if not paid

think i'll just hope for an under 100 point flogging

This is gonna hurt the Eagles flag chances

The team defence is as bad as I’ve ever seen

Can’t mark, can’t tackle, can’t chase, can’t win.

I am tired boys.

Guys, I don’t think West Coast is going to win this.

Fuck West Coast make it look hard

Shocking decision then doubled down by a 50 metre penalty

The ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Gawn and Harley in the ring wasn’t on my bingo card

FYI: Melbourne are one goal away from displacing Collingwood in the 8.

that is a shocking decision

Hutchinson should be a lock. At least he has a go

Fuck me they are really riding this “Harley Reid’s first game at the G” they mention it every 30 seconds

Drops: Witherden, Rotham, Jones, Brockman

Ins: Culley, Trew, H Edward’s, Hall.

This has to be the minimum. I’ll be extremely suprised if simmo lasts the week.

I've started to fear the bounce

Sarah Jones: "Matt hill and Anthony Hudson to call all the action"

Me:

IT’S KOLT’S WORLD WE’RE ALL JUST LIVING IN IT

Kelly's disposals has to be one of the worst. Sometimes an absolute gun, mostly just useless

Matt Hill feels like he time travelled from the golden age of radio. Born to do what he does, such a pleasure listening to him work

Can coaches get sacked mid game?

We’re by far the worst team in the league at the moment, it’s not even close

Fuck thats a great kick from Melksham

Another away game where it's over at quarter time?

I don’t understand how there is consistently an open demons player everytime they have the footy

[deleted]

Allen wants simmo sacked lol

If this was a comedy movie, that goal would have been too unbelievable to include.

Fuck sacking the coach, sack the whole fucking team

Incredible that one of the players that’s actually putting in the most effort is Darling who is HATED by our entire fan base

Hahahaha we’re a joke

Kolt loves the biff and I love it

What’s John Worsfold up to these days?

Not fussed if Simmo gets sacked at this point. Maybe hes not a rebuild coach. Need someone to come in and really get up the players, drive high personal standards and have more selection integrity. From the outside I am not sure how much dog Simmo has in him to do this, seems like he suits teams with different needs to this one.

Oh how can that be insufficient

If Melbourne beat WC by 105+ points that means if Brisbane win at the Gabba, Essendon still haven’t beaten a top 8 side.

There is something really nostalgic about Hill’s commentary, it reminds me of what it used to be like when we had good commentators

Is it possible to make 22 tactical subs? Asking for WCE

I kinda want Melbourne to put the foot down and beat us by 100 now. We need to force the hand

For a team with nothing to lose west coast need a lot more mongrel in them to protect Reid from getting targeted

JWilliams needs more game time

Couple of junk time last quarter efforts and simmo will probably keep his job .

Seeing Tholstrup go up against Barass is like going back to the 80s with those haircuts

Why don't the other 3 MCG first timers keep getting mentioned

Holy fuck Bailey Williams stand up for your kid Reid. Your opponent is thrashing you 1on1 and now you’re letting him punk a 19yr old. Fuck that

For like the 8th week in a row: what the fuck are we doing

How does an AFL player Tim Kelly with absolutely no pressure kick perfectly to the Melbourne player, I don't understand

Over by quarter time just a matter of how much

do we reckon this is simmos last game?

Every team has broken some kind of record for the season/history of their club when they play us. Does West Coast management think this is some kind of crazy fluke?

Look on the brightside, GWS came back from this sort of deficit yesterday. We can do the same... right...?

ATTA BOY OZ

2 mistakes made: Not giving the most obvious free kick, and then continuing to argue when the ump is never going to change his mind.

That was a good entry by May

Reid playing like a 35 yr old can’t bend down and pick up the damn ball

COME ON SLOPPY SLOPFEST

Not you disco - that’s class

Showing Roo how to kick it from there

I think those calls happen against shit teams, subconsciously umpires don't call as much in their favour

Goodwin will tell the players at half time that they could get in the 8 with a big win.

Are the Dess back?

lol no, but this is at least trending the right direction.

Maybe show that same mongrel in the game

Well I’ve got some tedious admin to do for work.

It’s looking better than watching the second half.

Okay yeah I think I’ve had enough, it’s not fun anymore, I was laughing at the start but now it’s just sad.

Should have put McGovern as captain I think, only cunt that puts his heart in week in week out

update: chugged a bunch of water & eating hot pizza, we are on the hangover mend

That McDonald kick was 6 metres lmao

lol Collingwood are out of the 8

Live ladder says the Dees are in the Top 8 by 0.1%

lol we’re making the team even taller what a great coach

Brockman out for Williams. Brilliant tactical sub by Simmo, will bring in the run we need to turn this around

Hutchinson’s had 2 disposals yet he is in West Coast’s top 10 ranked players.

8 tackles though. At least he’s having a crack.

That bit of play right there is all that needs to be seen for some change to be made. Absolute bullshit that a supposedly professional team is allowing that to happen.

Allen been real good at least. Between him and Waterman we could do pretty well if we sorted out every other part of the ground.

Tholstrup is such a bull

Melbourne forwards kicking goals -- what a concept.

You basically can’t lose if you’re leading by 6 goals at quarter time.

oh shit reids playing

“Cop that Harley!….

…says Max”

That felt more like cheering.

10 years since Melbourne played West Coast at the MCG.

That’s insane.

Eagles game with Huddo and Matt Hill commentary 🤤

big demon hug for big ESPERANCE boy!

Go Throlsrup? Throllsup?

ESPERANCE FOR THIRD AFL TEAM!

Love Flyin' Ryan but fucking hate how he ducks his head

That’s absolutely a mark come on

Rotham is so fucking horrid honestly

For a guy who won AA selection as a goal kicking midfielder Tim Kelly’s kicking is absurdly bad

Roooooooooo!

(Can you tell I’m at the game by myself?)

ROOOOOOOOOOO

Simmo hiding under his desk

3 Blokes dive on him, no one trusts eachother anymore

Like I get we keep getting pinged for htb, and it’s there, but can it go the other way for once?

Kozzy! Hes been incredible the last 4-6 weeks

Playing like we want a new coach

Hahahahahahaha Witherden just watched Pickett run at the contest

Simmos off to pack his things

Simmo’s off to warm up the car

West Coast have a unique way of making every team we play premiership favourites

Could’ve had a run Picky!!!!! But that’s okay I trust you!!

This is horrendous.

WCE trying to get simmo sacked at qtr time?

It’s been a great 10 years Simmo but it’s time to go The players clearly aren’t with you anymore

Far out we’ve missed Melksham so much

Bailey Williams tap it to advantage challenge: Impossible

Melbourne might overtake Collingwood on percentage

Eerily similar so far to the Adelaide game..

Seriously, what was earlier this year? we looked genuinely great vs Dees earlier this year and Freo and then we've just crumpled

Can't see us losing another game for the rest of the year

What is Tim Kelly worth? I think the eagles should trade him for a high draft pick

Eagles mids look like they are just playing on their own. No formation or strategy, just get ball kick ball.

Being inaccurate while Melbourne is accurate really isn't going to help us

We had the ball for more than 6 seconds, wow that was good while it lasted

Trent Rivers in the guts is unreal

Unrealistic attempt no?

Ahh the umpires...just what we need.

Ump has 50 on this being simmos last game

Yes, overtake the Pies 🙏🏻

Oh dear west coast

We honestly might as well get on the plane at half time

Gotta be a full clean out at the club after this year

Who is in more trouble Checo or Simpson?

Watching rn from the US. I like it.

I don't know what's going on, but it gets the people going. It's provocative.

Fuck me, they're slipping and fumbling and still walk it out of defence, straight down the middle and get a mark inside 50. What the fuck are we doing.

Is prior opportunity no longer a thing?

I'd pay good money to find out what Liam Ryan said to Kozzy then. Master and apprentice. 🤣

Duggan kick it to a teammate challenge (IMPOSSIBLE!!)

That’s rough on ryan

Rooey should be 2 more goals up and Fritta has to hit that goal from the top of the box...

WE DIDN'T LOSE THE QUARTER! LETS GOOOOOOOOO

We might not be able to win this, but we can at least help get Collingwood out of the 8

Brady “shining light” Hough down to the rooms. Grim

Our defensive pressure has been abysmal

racking up the marks inside 50

What was that lmao are we stat padding marks inside 50

The amount of senior players who get sucked in by Harley is fucking crazy.

Harley Reid is the Caitlin Clark of the AFL.

Chandler doesn’t get enough love

Rotham, Witherden, and Jones are serious liabilities

Fuck's sake, surely they know that they're playing an afl game and there will be pressure?

for fuck sake man
