We were the worst team in 2014 and our list is even worse in 2015.

1 of 2 things has happened in my opinion.

1.The senior management of the PFC just dont want us to go anywhere up the ladder to make the case of alignment when it comes up compelling in favour of.
2. Earl Spalding has no idea what hes doing.ie to go into this season without bolstering our forward line and backline with quality recruits is baffling to say the least.
Maybe even a bit of both,i for one am not looking forward to this season.

I partially agree with point one. All though I think it is more some people on the board that share this view.

A bit early to be paying out on Earl isn't it.

Let's see what happens this week against East Fremantle and then in the first couple of games. That way we will have a better idea of Earl's game plan and whether or not the players are able to implement it.

Have the family upset you 30+?

smokester everyone knows WBD are the reincarnation of Footscray Football Club.......as for GWS....well I guess the S stands for Sydney.....pretty sure there is a western area within Sydney and to most folk with a shed load of money reckon the city of Sydney is great place to live....as for west coast eagles.....sheet WA's west coast goes for a few miles north and south.....as for eagles not too sure I've seen one in my life time living in WA!

Plenty of big wedge tailed Eagles in wa freezin

Not at all but when you think that finacially we are ok plus Bevan Risol,Moody,Morton etc... departing free's up a fair bit of cash,wheres the key forward that all and sundry know that we need?????
Why wasnt one recruited??and please dont tell me "there hard to find"!

Even more intruguing is our coach himself was a tall KP so you would think of all people he'd be the one that sees the worth in them.


8 scoring shots to 37 on the weekend...nothing has changed!

Midfield got smashed, didnt have an inside 50 until around the 15th minute of the first quarter, forwards had no chance....did like the way Spalding addressed the team during the breaks, out of the players was impressed with Billings and Eyres, thats about it.

I hear one of your board members is about to pull the pin. What an insult to a great candidate like Cathy V. who stood unsuccessfully at the election last December.

Someone else I know approaches your club with an offer to help last November...still waiting for a return phone call.

Hard to have sympathy for a club that can't be fagged taking up offers of help.

Tropiano just about got leather poisoning. Without him we'd hardly have touched the footy.

Super Dude
Why Cathy was not co-opted onto the board has me flabbergasted, even if it meant have an extra board member.
Her credentials were all Football.
Stupid, stupid, stupid.

Now one of the hangers on pulls the pin.

FFS

I don't suppose the Director of Football has suddenly realised he's out of his depth?

I would imagine the Board canvassed the sponsors to ensure Cathy didn't get elected.

Stupid, stupid, stupid.

Cathy has more football admin experience than our whole board put together.
Her contacts alone would be worth having.

Its not so hard to workout why we are so shithouse on-field.
