Watching the Eagles has gotten that bad my interest in football and enjoying neutral games has almost disappeared completely. I now start every Eagles during the first quarter checking score updates on my phone and the start was a surprise, so a few minutes later I turned on the tv and 3 seconds later the Dockers kicked a goal. So I leave the room and come back to help with groceries and stand in front of the tv 4 seconds before halftime to see Fremantle kick another goal. The game then turned into that'd be right with a 3 goal lead to a 5 goal trailing, but 73-92 the score tells me on my phone, so a third time I dared to come watch the game on tv only to walk in the room and see Sean Darcy from the boundary centre the ball a Fremantle receiving a free kick 25 metres out directly in front. The score update said they kicked a goal and that was my 15 seconds of seeing Derby on tv. 15 seconds and 3 Dockers goals, I'm cursed and never watching the Eagles again!
Huge freo fan here, commented on your last derby video when you whacked us, saying something along the lines some of the kids showed their stuff, and again they did that again in this game. Loved Reid's game, I love the way he goes about it, hate that he wears blue and yellow haha
For a video this week, I know you've already done a team list breakdown for this coming offseason, but what about a video doing a hawthorn style list cull like they did under Mitchell recently, seeing where we could be at come draft time if we went to the extreme end of things (e.g. trading both barrass and Waterman for high picks and being overally aggressive with delistings and such) loving the content all round ♥️
Video ideas Sliding doors moments. E.g. when the Eagles didn't select Nick Martin despite him training with them as a rookie... who did we have as rookies. Or Tim Kelly before he went to Geelong. or Ginbey Hewitt vs Harry Sheezel... or Kelly trade deal to bring him in. or the guys like Petrovsky seton, Langdon that we traded for... what did we lose as a result. Or an analysis of the Rookie draft for the Eagles in the last 5 years and compare to other sides. I reckon the Rookies has been a major problem for us and is easy to quickly analyse so good to get a video out on.
Both The West Coast Eagles and the Fremantle Dockers it was a great intensity game it was everyone's game it was very enjoyable to watch thank you for your honest break down of the whole match
As far as additional content goes, I’d love to see a hypothetical round 1 team for 2025 - I know it’s far away but it would be good to envision our best 22 for next year that includes some forgotten guys like Hewett, Long & Bazzo.
The A Graders are, Allen, Barass, MCGovern, Ryan, Cole, Reid, Kelly, Yeo, Waterman. Potential is Culley, Ginbey and Jack Williams that’s it. The rest are average WAFL players at the very best, that is the problem. The best coach cannot make a silk purse out of Sows ear.
Obviously still a loss and that sucks, but as we are a team in a rebuild, I thought that it was a great effort. Its just a fact that our list could be the worst in the comp/bottom 3 at minimum. Some young boys stood up again and they are only improving, this is exactly what we need in our rebuild. Freo could go deep into September with an all australian midfield and we stood up to them in the first half. Have to say though, that Liam Ryan is truly a cancer for our club right now in terms of attitude/body language/effort. I was at the game, and 3 times he missed tackles or gave up on the play and which resulted in a goal. I think hes a skillful and talented player, but it really cannot be measured the negative affect it can have when a senior player gives out shit efforts and terrible body language, which I really hope the coach rags him out for.
Our last 2 home games have been against 2 of top 3 teams in the comp, since Simpson has gone. Listening to Schofield in the presser today, I really like the aggression he is encouraging. Last week was awful, but I can find some reasons for that. The fight isn’t just Reid, there were 10-15 players in the wrestle and not him or yeo….which I see as a good thing. Eagles haven’t been doing that the last 5 years. Ok the derby brings that out sometimes, but Schofield is presenting a tougher attitude from eagles. I am growing with the idea of him leading the team ongoing tbh
Good to see the passion coming back, a lot of derbies over the last 8 years or so have been very lacklustre, and didn’t feel like anything special. Harley Reid really elevates the whole game and feel Culley riling Serong up was a bit silly in retrospect, but it was good to see them getting up and about. Here’s hoping as a Freo fan that we can take this game, learn from it and apply that in Finals. P.s. Yeo played pretty well and showing leadership to hold Harley back during the little scuffle was brilliant. Haven’t, and probably won’t, hear anything about it tho.
As a freo fan, I really wanted to watch zane trew play, 2 years ago I said he would do great for eagles. Didn't get a game until simmo left and then straight out in 3 seconds. Hope he gets up in2 weeks
Harley Reid was brilliant. He drew the attention of the opposition and at times you had 2-3 guys targeting him and other Eagles guys were then free. Its outstanding leadership really on field. He's telling his teammates how to do it and how to attack and setting an example. He doesn't care if it brings more heat onto him for the benefit of team. At Freo he'd be a half forward. Syd a forward pocket. Collingwood half back. Cousins first year was as forward pocket with odd run on the ball. Cousins won rising star award just as a small forward with potntial. Harley in the main midfielder taking on the heat that the opposition throw at him because they know he is so good and are distracted. Harley is saying bring it on.
We lack midfield depth and in combination of our rucks getting smashed we got outclassed in the end. That’s why if we get English, Baker and maybe Bolton with a Finn OSullivan will help next year.
Harley Reid needs a few of his team mates to show a bit of his passion. The guy is 14(?) games into his career and feels like he has to be the spark, he has to be the most aggressive guy on the ground. In a better WC world, a 50m penaly given away by a kid in his first year would not even be mentioned.
He is saying to his teammates. I can carry you guys and take the pressure. Free you guys up. An ultimate team players and leader. Happy to carry a heavier burden to help the team. Frankly at Sydney he'd be forward pocket. Even at Dockers he'd be on half forward and be playing a receiving role. So being at a bottom side he is carrying a very heavy load. I can't remember another like him. N Daicos was outstanding too, but that was in a top team and running off half back. He's now in his third year. But he is comparable but a receiver more. Reid is saying I'll take the heat boys follow me.
@@BDub2024 I agree, I just hope it does not become too much of a burden. I doubt Reid has been on many losing teams before, that can be a challenge, especially for a prolonged period. I am a Hawks supporter, but Reid is one of my favourite players in the league to watch, if he can channel everything the right way he will be Captain and recent Brownlow winner of the WC team that tries to stop our next threepeat in 2031.
@@spindoctor6385 He is showing good signs like a Dusty and Dermie of being a big match performer. Taking the team with him. Unbelievable for a youngster. Eagles just need to get decent ruckman and more support in the middle, so he doesn't end up feeling that he's doing it all and getting frustrated.
@@james_edits12 Its the way he plays and anyway its needed because of the sort of side that the Eagles are. Any other team he could float around and get the possessions and goals. With Eagles he needs more. My take is that you can always wind back aggression with maturity. But a guy lacking intensity and courage... well that is a very hard thing to learn. So I'm happy that he keeps on driving himself. I'm hoping he can avoid a few knocks to the head while he's young. With maturity he'll learn. The other guys just need to step up more too. He is definitely a big match players like Dermie and Dusty. He just rises for the occasion.
Ideas... the future of our defence. Target on 2 years time... McGov retired. Barrass (traded or nearing end)... So we have Bazzo and Hedwards. Can a forward move back Oscar? Bazzo is more of a mobile tall defender. What are our requirements? Can guys like Maric and Culley? Then small defenders. are there young guys that can step up on the list to fill small defender roles.
That was the problem we had with Adam Simpson: only able to praise the players. That’s why we’re in this mess in the first place. We had a deplorable second half, only kicking 2 out of the last 11 goals. We need a coach who won’t accept this and will let the fans know that it’s not acceptable.
@@sotiriosnovatsis4529the players are lacking confidence and need to hear it from the coach, reward effort and commitment to improve that’s was Schofield,s message to the media! Get in first before they get you,,, well executed 👍
Fantastic wrap up, I feel that there is definite green shoots in that we pushed Brisbane and Freo. Obviously the result is disappointing but it shows that we can have good performances we just need to be able to do it for a whole game. Losing Trew may have contributed to the fall away as we lose a rotation. Awesome to see a bit of feeling back, AFL will be happy too more $$ for the Xmas party. Let's see if we can back it up against GC and not perform like we did against the Saints. 💛💙🦅🏆
Luke Edwards injured his ankle. That's the message I heard from a contact at the game in the fourth quarter. Not sure if it had been assessed then. Similarly Trew was going to hospital. At time they thought it was concussion, but now I think there was another issue with the clash.
Ideas for videos: Rolling the Dice. Schofield has been rolling the dice with selections and positional placement. Remember putting allen back in defence to get form, Ginbey to half back, Cole up the ground... he has mixed things up a bit a lot more than Simmo. Go through some changes recently with guys changing places on field. And what other options are there to move guys into different positions
Ideas... who can be the defensive tagger at Eagles. Ledwards? Culley. Long? Petch with pace? Is that Ledwards way of surviving using his smarts on ball but shutting guys down.
While Petch and Ryan got goals they are opportunist types. That's why we need pressure forwards and guys that are consistent up there. Long and Cripps play similar hard running roles, but you can't fill a forward line with opportunists. Go back in time and think how effective Chick and Rowan Jones were as half forwards and even Embley at times. Remember Fraser Gehrig at the Eagles was a pacy skinny half forward and won an All Australian there. I see Waterman as that role, but footy has changed now with forward structure.
I reckon Cole needs a bit of freeing up by playing in midfield or pressure forward. If we're really stuck for tall defenders then JWilliams has the mobility to step in if required.
Atleast we locked away 4 points from Freo in the 1st Derby. That's the positive for the season from me. Look where we are and they are and they made no ground on our Derby win record. I really like that.😅
Ideas for videos: Scapegoats. Who are the scapegoats for the Eagles and where they're at . Is it the CEO, poor drafting in national draft and rookies, is it poor trading, is it Glass and other football managers... is it specific players. All a bit negative. But a scapegoats session may be good for the True footy channel too as it can be applied to other clubs. Especially Essendon.
Best thing to happen this weekend was champion kicking 3 against our WAFL team. With changes to the NGA rules we should be able to get him. Edward’s development holds us in decent shape to trade barass for an early 1st rounder. Get 2 picks in the top 10 before champion is selected then match a bid on him possibly around pick 20.
I don’t know how any fan can be happy with what we saw last night. The first half was great but the second half was completely unacceptable and undid the good work from earlier in the game. We got smashed in the 3rd quarter and only kicked 2 out of the last 11 goals. When are our supporters going to start asking more of this team?
I think Culley and Darling are perhaps jostling for similar roles now. Tackling pressure half forwards with big bodies. That may be Culley's lot if he can't fire up in the middle consistently. Flynn should be coming in soon. But problem then arises with BWilliams. It straight away unsettles our forward line as BWilliams JWilliams and Allen are similar marking lumbering types. Should Oscar look weight and become more mobile. Should he run into form and assist defence if McGov doesn't get up. You can't drop BWilliams for Flynn it would be unfair. But maybe a tough footy team does that sort of stuff. Do they experiment with BWilliams as a forward again?
This should have been relatively expected to be honest. If the Dockers genuinely believe that they can be premiership contenders, they should be finding another gear, another level and beating teams beneath them and around them on the ladder, which for the most part, they have done. I am pretty proud of how we played with the exception of the third quarter. The response from last week was there, and I feel we did well to respond when Trew went off very early and Culley was subbed in. I know it doesn't feel like much, and possibly, my expectations should be higher, but I am seeing players atleast come in and have some impact. The real trick seems to be how to sustain that pressure and impact for longer. It's going to be an interesting draft and trade season, we clearly need reinforcement.
What I always wonder is why can't they play 4 quarters the way they played the first couple??? Are they unfit(and they shouldn't be) or the older players don't have the stamina anymore and the young ones too inexperienced?? If so they shouldnt be playing AFL? So happy we have Harley Reid 💙💛
Our centre is left exposed when we either lose the taps or the opposition starts playing close man on man out of the centre, preventing the one man clearances to 50 entry's. And then even if we win the ball, we don't have a clear chain system to release pressure and have ball movement chain out of stoppage which freo utilised in the second half
Was a fun game. Fremantle do put on a good show (actually it's better than the Eagles, with a lot of Acca Dacca). Don't know if you're aware of this Jesse but at Eagles home games they've tried to implement a "Sweet Caroline" thing at half time. Couldn't think of anything more generic and well copied, no idea who made that call. But regardless it was a fun game in terms of the contest, the theatre, crowd involvement. I thought West Coast did really well just couldn't maintain the intensity. You could see just before half time Fremantle began to look in control in the centre bounces.
He has shown a lot of potential. Hasn’t been given much opportunity unfortunately. I’d like to see him given more opportunity before getting rid of him
I knew that intensity was gonna be hard to keep up for a whole game but there was just a massive drop off after half time, 10 goals to 2, its just disappointing
Third quarter showed the out side run that of Fremantle serong and the outside and the other out side mids two hand balls just exposed eagles a little bit that yeo, Kelly and reid are great on the inside but just no run on the out side late mainly on the third quarter, but the pressure kick that defence keeps using eagles find it hard to work there way out of trouble on repeat entry's!!! But need maybe hunt and petch need to be used more on the out side, Harley needs the whole team to to keep fighting like they did late in the third lose everyday as long as we fight each team like that every week, the defensive clearing kick needs to be looked at because team are exposing us on it!!!!
Yeah, We really need English. He is a great player, very mobile around the ground, reminds me of Coxy. I’m not sure about Flynn, he’s always injured and hasnt showed much. Bailey is great, he isnt a top shelf ruckman but has shouldered a load for sure, deserves to be 2nd ruck to English if we get him over Flynn. Both about the same age. Flynn (23) games per season: 12, 12, 9, 4. Its a worry. We need English. A Perth lad, yet to sign… come home buddy
Judd was nothing like this in his first year. He didn't start racking up possessions over 25 until his second and third years. And he had stars like Embley Kerr Cuzzy Braun Banfield Peter Matera... Gardiner in the ruck. Judd could be eased in. Harley Reid is expected to be the man.
If Jack Darling is to continue playing next year he may be best to placed in the backline. He’s useless as a forward apart from some pressure at times. But he might have some potential as a defender….
You hadn't reached rock bottom until you parted with Simmo. A new voice was desperately needed. You will stay there until you appoint a well credentialed, experienced coach to oversee the rebuild. Another couple of years of pain ahead I'm afraid. Trust me, been there.
As a WC supporter, we should be happy to see Fremantle in with a shot if we can’t be there. If they get into the GF in would love to be there. WA footy needs all the support it can get.
@@sotiriosnovatsis4529 I’m a real WA footy supporter. I’m tired of the Vic’s ignoring our long history and underestimating us as a footy state despite their clear logistical advantages. They love to see the WA clubs tear each other apart twice per year because that significantly lowers the chance of a WA team taking their precious cup.
JARRAD SCHOFIELD FOR HEAD COACH HIS PERFORMANCE BASED STYLE WILL EVENTUALLY TURN THE YOUNG LIST BY FORCING PERFORMANCE BASED DEPTH HE'S THE GUY THE EAGLES NEED!!!! GET BEHIND HIM!!!!
@@GregPovah nar me and the old man used to love watching schofield in 97/98 when he played under malthouse and think that he's the best man for the jobs so I'm going TROLL the shit out of all these youtube channels till it get some traction!!!!

He wants them to fight that's what the best teams do they have an edge just like port 04 they where unsociable we need to be the un sociable EAGLES don't take shit!!!!
One trophy down one to go. To the match, West Coast their credit they were competitive in the first half and i taught they were going to beat us again, hell they were in front, but Fremantle had a 2nd gear and ran them over in the end. As for Harley Reid Fremantle were finally about to teach him a lesson.
@@sotiriosnovatsis4529 Beg to differ bud, Serong and Brayshaw with 30 plus disposals and a goal each. And not to mention Reid gave away a free kick during the game, last time he got under our skin, but this time we paid him out.
Freo are a very good team, 35 Points is not an embarrasment.
Watching the Eagles has gotten that bad my interest in football and enjoying neutral games has almost disappeared completely. I now start every Eagles during the first quarter checking score updates on my phone and the start was a surprise, so a few minutes later I turned on the tv and 3 seconds later the Dockers kicked a goal.

The score update said they kicked a goal and that was my 15 seconds of seeing Derby on tv. 15 seconds and 3 Dockers goals, I'm cursed and never watching the Eagles again!
Rotham did kick the ball, and by doing so, turned the ball over in our back half twice, leading to two goals.
Man isn’t it.
Don't worry he is on the gone list
Rotham is the biggest cockaopaniel I’ve ever seen

I reckon the Rookies has been a major problem for us and is easy to quickly analyse so good to get a video out on.

Culley riling Serong up was a bit silly in retrospect, but it was good to see them getting up and about.
Here’s hoping as a Freo fan that we can take this game, learn from it and apply that in Finals.

Best thing to happen this weekend was champion kicking 3 against our WAFL team. With changes to the NGA rules we should be able to get him. Edward’s development holds us in decent shape to trade barass for an early 1st rounder. Get 2 picks in the top 10 before champion is selected then match a bid on him possibly around pick 20.
I don’t know how any fan can be happy with what we saw last night. The first half was great but the second half was completely unacceptable and undid the good work from earlier in the game. We got smashed in the 3rd quarter and only kicked 2 out of the last 11 goals. When are our supporters going to start asking more of this team?
I think Culley and Darling are perhaps jostling for similar roles now. Tackling pressure half forwards with big bodies. That may be Culley's lot if he can't fire up in the middle consistently. Flynn should be coming in soon. But problem then arises with BWilliams. It straight away unsettles our forward line as BWilliams JWilliams and Allen are similar marking lumbering types. Should Oscar look weight and become more mobile. Should he run into form and assist defence if McGov doesn't get up. You can't drop BWilliams for Flynn it would be unfair. But maybe a tough footy team does that sort of stuff. Do they experiment with BWilliams as a forward again?
A level headed Eagles supporter 😂 you must be the only one in Perth
And you must be completely unbiased…or so you would say.
How about Jack Williams, getting better every week. They have to keep playing him, regardless of Darling playing or not.
This should have been relatively expected to be honest. If the Dockers genuinely believe that they can be premiership contenders, they should be finding another gear, another level and beating teams beneath them and around them on the ladder, which for the most part, they have done.
I am pretty proud of how we played with the exception of the third quarter. The response from last week was there, and I feel we did well to respond when Trew went off very early and Culley was subbed in. I know it doesn't feel like much, and possibly, my expectations should be higher, but I am seeing players atleast come in and have some impact. The real trick seems to be how to sustain that pressure and impact for longer. It's going to be an interesting draft and trade season, we clearly need reinforcement.
What I always wonder is why can't they play 4 quarters the way they played the first couple??? Are they unfit(and they shouldn't be) or the older players don't have the stamina anymore and the young ones too inexperienced?? If so they shouldnt be playing AFL? So happy we have Harley Reid 💙💛
Our centre is left exposed when we either lose the taps or the opposition starts playing close man on man out of the centre, preventing the one man clearances to 50 entry's.
And then even if we win the ball, we don't have a clear chain system to release pressure and have ball movement chain out of stoppage which freo utilised in the second half
Was a fun game. Fremantle do put on a good show (actually it's better than the Eagles, with a lot of Acca Dacca). Don't know if you're aware of this Jesse but at Eagles home games they've tried to implement a "Sweet Caroline" thing at half time. Couldn't think of anything more generic and well copied, no idea who made that call.
But regardless it was a fun game in terms of the contest, the theatre, crowd involvement. I thought West Coast did really well just couldn't maintain the intensity. You could see just before half time Fremantle began to look in control in the centre bounces.
Were the "numbers" good ????
Apparently, that's all that matters
If Luke Edwards gets another contract he really needs to work on his aerial competitiveness. He's losing every contest in the air. Just looks lost.
No way he gets offered another contract, the bloke offers nothing unfortunately
He has shown a lot of potential. Hasn’t been given much opportunity unfortunately. I’d like to see him given more opportunity before getting rid of him
I knew that intensity was gonna be hard to keep up for a whole game but there was just a massive drop off after half time, 10 goals to 2, its just disappointing
Third quarter showed the out side run that of Fremantle serong and the outside and the other out side mids two hand balls just exposed eagles a little bit that yeo, Kelly and reid are great on the inside but just no run on the out side late mainly on the third quarter, but the pressure kick that defence keeps using eagles find it hard to work there way out of trouble on repeat entry's!!! But need maybe hunt and petch need to be used more on the out side, Harley needs the whole team to to keep fighting like they did late in the third lose everyday as long as we fight each team like that every week, the defensive clearing kick needs to be looked at because team are exposing us on it!!!!
Also, need both Flynn back in and I hate to say it offer English a solid contract. We're getting smashed out of the centre.
Yeah, We really need English. He is a great player, very mobile around the ground, reminds me of Coxy.
I’m not sure about Flynn, he’s always injured and hasnt showed much. Bailey is great, he isnt a top shelf ruckman but has shouldered a load for sure, deserves to be 2nd ruck to English if we get him over Flynn. Both about the same age.
Flynn (23) games per season: 12, 12, 9, 4. Its a worry. We need English. A Perth lad, yet to sign… come home buddy
Offer the Farm to try get English. Flynn not the level we need
Dewar for Darling, Flynn for bailey
Judd was nothing like this in his first year. He didn't start racking up possessions over 25 until his second and third years. And he had stars like Embley Kerr Cuzzy Braun Banfield Peter Matera... Gardiner in the ruck. Judd could be eased in. Harley Reid is expected to be the man.
If Jack Darling is to continue playing next year he may be best to placed in the backline. He’s useless as a forward apart from some pressure at times. But he might have some potential as a defender….
You hadn't reached rock bottom until you parted with Simmo. A new voice was desperately needed. You will stay there until you appoint a well credentialed, experienced coach to oversee the rebuild. Another couple of years of pain ahead I'm afraid. Trust me, been there.
The face you put in the thumbnail should be your channel profile pic with how this are going
Just lacked some midfielder...
Albeit
Rekt
As a WC supporter, we should be happy to see Fremantle in with a shot if we can’t be there. If they get into the GF in would love to be there. WA footy needs all the support it can get.
No real West Coast supporter would ever want to see Fremantle win a grand final and vice versa.
@@sotiriosnovatsis4529 I’m a real WA footy supporter. I’m tired of the Vic’s ignoring our long history and underestimating us as a footy state despite their clear logistical advantages. They love to see the WA clubs tear each other apart twice per year because that significantly lowers the chance of a WA team taking their precious cup.
@@sotiriosnovatsis4529i,m diehard freo and if eagles beat pies or carlton i.m happy
@@sotiriosnovatsis4529 not true, only one eyed morons.
JARRAD SCHOFIELD FOR HEAD COACH HIS PERFORMANCE BASED STYLE WILL EVENTUALLY TURN THE YOUNG LIST BY FORCING PERFORMANCE BASED DEPTH HE'S THE GUY THE EAGLES NEED!!!! GET BEHIND HIM!!!!
Are you a relative ???
@@GregPovah nar me and the old man used to love watching schofield in 97/98 when he played under malthouse and think that he's the best man for the jobs so I'm going TROLL the shit out of all these youtube channels till it get some traction!!!! SCHOFIELD FOR HEAD COACH!!! that's the TROLL start it up GET AROUND IT the he's the best guy for it unless BOMBER THOMSON IS KEEN i could get around that to but the rest of these muppets i don't have faith!!! hanson no!!! jaime who no!!!, cox is just big bird to me!!! josh car was ben cousins lacky!!! and buckley man collingwood could not get rid of him fast enough!!! !!! and he had no game plan!!! hinkly has one of the best side on paper and he aint come close to a flag be same again this year!!! but in saying that lets go through the guys record he plays under malthouse he plays as a mid against probably the best midfield team in the last 50 years voss's lion and won in 04 and where does the game get won in today game in the midfield, he retires three peats with subi in wafl, then then coach's subi to five grand finals wins 3 and in 2018 they have a perfect season perfect undefeated!!!! tell me in wrong!!!! and I'm just a fan and think west coast needs a guy like him right now start the TROLL!!!! He wants them to fight that's what the best teams do they have an edge just like port 04 they where unsociable we need to be the un sociable EAGLES don't take shit!!!!
One trophy down one to go. To the match, West Coast their credit they were competitive in the first half and i taught they were going to beat us again, hell they were in front, but Fremantle had a 2nd gear and ran them over in the end. As for Harley Reid Fremantle were finally about to teach him a lesson.
Struggling against a struggling Eagles side, watch Fremantle fail hard this year.
@@TrevorPhilipsBroBrisbane and Sydney struggled against wce also, I suppose they are also done?
@@TrevorPhilipsBro Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah
Teach Harley Reid a lesson? 29 disposals, half of which were contested.
He absolutely ran riot over your lot.
@@sotiriosnovatsis4529 Beg to differ bud, Serong and Brayshaw with 30 plus disposals and a goal each. And not to mention Reid gave away a free kick during the game, last time he got under our skin, but this time we paid him out.
