Game Day Round 24, 2023 - West Coast v Adelaide: Farewell to Thee Three

[hudson2006]

That was a belting

They kick straight it's 100+ again

After last week and all the talk of how much we love the coach, that was an extremely weak effort

Nah nothing like the almighty belly up that was the derby.

I thought it was the gulf in class - Adelaide have some very quick mids with slick ball movement, looked a league above.

We have a lot of work to do in terms of personnel and setup. But I like the attacking style we are trying (but failing) to play.

Goodbye Harley Colby, we hardly knew you.

Positives: “With Pick 1, West Coast selects Harley Reid”

Negatives: Farewell Nic, Bunga, Boots. Along with JK last year, it is a sad, sad turnover of club legends, even if the time had clearly come.

2010 was worse because we got pick 4 instead of pick 1. Gaff goes alright tho.

You certainly have a good sense of humour, well done

You just gotta throw the line out and a few get hooked along the way

I asked a question on here a while ago...

Would you rather have 10 straight finals appearances, competitive, exciting seasons but no flag but your team is always up there.

or

Spoon, rebuild and 3 or 4 finals series and an unexpected flag

Majority of answers were flag option.

10 years flies as a fan so it's nice to have the memories of a Premiership.

Flag easily. I barely remember the finals series we've played in that didn't end up with at least a GF appearance.

Only when he's criticizing the club, players or coaches.

When Darling missed that sitter, it would be made it only 2 goals down halfway the the last.

We were never going to outrun the Crows.
They're one of the fittest around.

They kicked something like 4.7 to a point against a good side like Sydney last week.

But yeah, continue to put the boot in.

If we had won, I have no doubt the posters criticizing our loss would've been calling us stupid for losing pick 1.

Just can't win sometimes.

Tis better to have won a flag, then lost than to have never won a flag at all.

This is a really good question. It’s fun to be a strong side so maybe finals so long as bowing out isn’t like 2015-2017 for us. Some tight fought losses would be fine. It really depends what the rebuild is like I guess. Anything like this and no thanks

I think I was comparing us last year to Geelong (before last year's flag)

We had the flag but a bunch of ok year's, couple of good ones and couple of horrible ones but they had been in Sep for 10 years straight with heaps of Prelims and a GF loss.

Most people picked us coz we had the 18 flag.

Obv with cats winning last year its now an obvious choice
