Nup..I have it on good word that Richo will be appointed Devils coach.Will get geelong job after Scott takes up Tasmanian job.
Genuinely good coach given absolutely nothing to work with in terms of that dogshit Eagles playing list.
Saints fans are happy though.Terrible coach - no idea - Sunday was an illusion.
No way in hell they should trade Allen.https://www.footywire.com/afl/footy/tp-west-coast-eagles
Looking at the list of players 25's and under its grim reading indeed. Allen (and he's somehow 25 already) and Reid the only standouts.
And Allen and Reid are forwards who get to spend most of their time watching the ball go through the goals at the other end of the ground. In a better side, they'd both be twice the already gun players they both are.
Another top 2 pick this year, then next year and then Tassie come in and the drafts are ****ed again.
With Freo looking the goods as the WA destination club now, other than more $$$ to lure WA players back home, that's not an option either.
For mine they basically need to trade anyone of value 25 and over (including Allen for the right price) for picks. Load up on as many kids as they can get over the next two years and do a complete reset.
Yep, a coaching record including as a Premiership asst and a drawn GF means ZERO - the game has changed, they’re using hover pads and all have 8 arms and legs now.Saints fans are happy though.
It’s like divorced people who reunite later and then marry again for the second time.
Better the devil you know and all that..
Of course his ceiling was much higher, but likewise, none of those guys presided over 3 years of absolutely horrific shit, some of the worst footy we’ve seen in the AFL history, players completely out of shape and not trying.
WC have not even been the most basic of AFL standard for a very long time.
Coaches who do that are spared the blushes somewhat as they get sacked quickly and it can be put down to a bad season, etc.
Not this… it will leave a massive stain on him. It’s unfortunate, he seems like a decent bloke and had a good record prior to that.
But there was a long period where it almost seemed like he was trying to get sacked, or at least just standing around, doing absolutely nothing, waiting for it to happen.

Good, genuine tall forwards are the rarest commodity in footy…at all levels.
Scott was offered keys to the safe for brizzy job next year.Nup..I have it on good word that Richo will be appointed Devils coach.
Because every new interstate club in its debut year gets a state legend who’s completely inappropriate for the job.
Except for Giants who chose a washed up old league legend.
Fagan for Devils?Nup..I have it on good word that Richo will be appointed Devils coach.

That's the reality my guy.Made a good life for himself and his family, premiership coach, on more money than most of us will never get near. Cushy job in media or back to clubland. It’s a good life.
A bunch of those players who were out of shape and overweight were 150+ game vets with flags to their name. In no way in modern footy is a senior coach in charge of off-season maintenance of senior players, they are expected to do the work. If they come back fat in December good luck catching up in elite sport. Luke Shueys comments were telling
Ah yes that famous Queensland legend Guy McKenna.Nup..I have it on good word that Richo will be appointed Devils coach.

I wouldn't trade Allen as he's likely a future captain, but does Waterman have a chance of being around for their next premiership? If some team offered a high pick for him, I'd be tempted to take it if I were the Eagles.Yeah trading Allen is the dumbest thing I’ve ever read.
They’ve got what very few bottom sides have ever had - 2 genuine key forward weapons. They’ve essentially locked & loaded their forward line with Allen & Waterman, now they just have to get to work with mids. Reid is a start. Ginbey, Hewett & Chesser are wait & sees but haven’t had a great run at it really.
Hough is a star small defender already but will need help when McGovern/Barrass go/wind down.
Barrass would be the one I would trade for picks anyway. Older than Allen, great intercept marker but has bags kicked on him because of that too. A solid first rounder for him to put into the midfield and put some eggs into the Harry Edwards basket. They have to at some time.
I've heard a whisper that sometimes the number one pick doesn't even wait until the end of the contract to leave.Wonder if the new coach can convince Harley Reid to stay at WCE and not request a trade to geelong at end of contract
I don't think it's part of Ports culture to exist for premiershipsA premiership winning coach gets sacked before Hinkley, guess the Eagles just have much higher standards than Port
How can you tell when he covers his mouthHe’s got the best job in the world sitting next to horse watching him lose his shit on the phone every week![]()
