As a WC fan I’ve seen 7 GF appearances and 4 flags in 30 something years. This isn’t the first time they’ve bottomed out, but never languished at the bottom of the ladder for any great length of time. The club knows how to bounce back quick, you can’t really complain if you’re an Eagles supporter
The Eagles know the ins and outs of the young WA talent, which is why they usually draft very well to ensure their dips are only short lived ones. Two years from now the club will look completely different to how it is looking right now.
How Gaff still gets a regular game is beyond me. I went to nearly all the Eagles home games this year and he hardly ever laid a tackle, always waits for the easy outside receive and can only kick on one side. Very ineffective, yet he gets around $900K a year.
King is usually very sensible. but with his Rankine comments... "the money difference between Gold Coast and Adelaide is not that great."!?!?!? WTF? He comes back as a 22yo to be near his support structure of his family, to a city with a lower cost of living than Gold Coast and make $150k more a year? And King is saying Rankine is poorly advised? I think he got this take totally wrong.
Adelaide is poorly advised. How many of their good younger players are going in cap in hand asking for 850k a piece now. How many will leave because a player they are better than is getting more money than them? If Rory Laird is on less than Izak that is utter bullshit
@@bazza2540 Let's not forget that Rankine was in the AA U22 team, even Fog didn't make that and although he was robbed, none of Berry, Ned, Harry etc made that side. If we can convert him to a pinch hit in the mid and do likewise with Rachele...
Have been a supporter since day 1. Of course they are in denial. Before Josh Kennedy they had 12 players 30 years of older on the list. Now they have 11. How many good years have they got left before they also retire. The point is that there has always been talent coming up through the ranks that gave us hope to replace the players we lost. I just cant see it now.
I suspect that within the next couple of years you'll have moved on from the majority the older players either through retirement or trade and your list will look very different.
You won’t get anywhere near what you think for Gaff and McGovern, but you’ll still get a half decent pick for Jack Darling, I’d be interested if the Crows offered pick 23 for Jack Darling would the WCoast bite ?
Slycargo, I think you're correct. And perhaps this is still true. But I also think Williams might be tempted/flattered by the offer to coach one of the BIG V clubs. Like Essendon.
As a supporter I would approve of Williams. My number one priority has always been Ross Lyon, just perfect for what we need, but if he makes himself unavailable mark Williams is certainly a good option
@@matthewfinis6723 why can't we just go through a proper process, find the best & most committed coach out there, who may be an up & comer, rather than just go for the big names
As a Carlton fan, we definitely need a new fitness coach/player management person. WAY to many injuries and how is Walsh rules out of the most important game of the season
not sure if you know but fitness staff can basically get the likely hood of reinjury to an exact percentage. I'd guess walsh was at the higher end of reinjury chance.
@@nakorite He's a nuts and bolts no nonsense coach with an attacking game style with good defensive focus. He's won flags as a player and as assistant coach. He's well due for the top coaching job. The likes of Richardson, Bolton, Teague, Neeld, Noble have had goes at it yet Sumich never givena go?? Ridiculous. He probably doesn't present flowery nice PowerPoint prezzos at interviews, but where did it get that list of duds above?
Izak has said himself he wants more midfield minutes and recognises he needs to be bigger and have a bigger tank to do so. Can the Crows see him making a Connor Rozee like transition from electric forward to dynamic mid and that's why they're happy to pay the money?
Whats the size difference between Bolton and Rankine? Also, big call from the Crows given that Rankine has essentially played 0 mins in the guts at the Suns?
@@ST-cp6fn Rozee is 4cm taller but a keg lighter so not much in it. And maybe other than a bucket of cash that was part of the pitch that they'll help him move to the middle as maybe that was being overlooked at the Suns because they have plenty of good mids but no forwards.
@@sidneyfyfe7142 yeah that seemed to be the knock on him, not sure if he's changed that mentality after a good year personally on the track... it all remains to be seen
I’m glad this rankine convo has a time stamp coz it’s gonna get thrown right back in your faces. Adelaide are paying no one. They front end his contract for a year or 2 and he is cheap as chips for 3-4 years of his contract.
And you know this how? His agent is there to get the most money for him, so I doubt he is going to the Crows on the cheap when his salary is averaged out over the duration of the contract.
Draft picks are only part of the solution, look at Richmond and Melbourne - large part of their success is around trading for May,Lever, Langdon and Prestia, Lynch etc.
Wait til West Coast have a full preseason with ALL of their squad before you judge them harshly. The last preseason was a disaster. At one stage, they had 15 players out on the park. No team can compete at AFL level coming off such a bad preseason. Secondly, our best midfielder played 40 minutes of football all season. When Sheed is back, the midfield will look a lot better. And then there's Oscar Allen as well. Didn't play a game this season. He would have been very handy to have out there. To suggest West Coast should trade Nic Nat or McGovern is ridiculous. As a team that's rebuilding, you need to keep the spine of the team. Both of these players should be a lot fitter after a full preseason (which neither of them had earlier this year). Decent big key position players are crucial and so hard to come by. So why would you hand them off to another club for a pick 30? The club needs fresh legs in the midfield, and speed off half back. They're obviously holding on to the older boys like Shuey and Redden until some youngens are drafted and are ready to go. Again, if you get rid of them, then you're left with about 3 midfielders in the whole squad. That would be suicide. I just hope they don't sign another muppet like Sam Petrevski-Seton to try and fill those holes.
thia ia why i really hate Kane Cornes most times, sometimes he says stuff that just hit the nail on the head and most times he just talks bullshit. trade McGoven. like stu said get a proper preseason, and you will have McGoven, Barrass, Edwards, Hurn, Duggan, and Jones, with random fillins making the 6th spot and you got a crack backline. Trade McGoven, Bloody hell Kane learn not to talk with your mouth full of shit
The stand rule has been a disaster from the start. If only somebody at the AFL was capable of admitting a mistake has been made and the best result would be to reverse the mistake. Not have a three year experiment and policy on the run.
The stand rule has allowed people to bite off that difficult kick into the corridor. Why do you think scoring has become so much better this year? I agree usually I hate the rule changes, but that’s a good one. If you don’t like corridor football and you like people going around the Boundry line again then yes wish for the stand rule to be reversed.. but if you like adventurous corridor footy where people are attacking down the middle of the ground.. then the Stand rule would need to stay
@@JaxTheGat Scoring has not become so much better, it is up by about 4 points per game. To even attribute that to the rule is questionable. Good teams have always attacked through the middle.

@@JaxTheGat Haha you are the one who made up stupid lies to support a stupid position. Reality is that scores are barely different. So now when presented with that fact you want to pretend it is about the style not the scoring. You can play pretend all you like and pretend that it is still a good rule when they have to change it again and again because they are to proud to admit it is a total failure. If it was a good rule then they would not need to keep changing it to hide the mess that it has created.
wtf are you talking about lol.

Gotta give some respect to Cornes for what he’s doing for kids with cancer, but I have a couple of issues. First one is , did he really have to copy outright what Crawford did years ago? And the second one is, why did he have to start the run in Adelaide, why not start in Melbourne so he could finish in Adelaide and frisking stay there, where some people like him.
Im a WC supporter but they got soft, unfit, poor trades and poor game style. Some improvement but wont be competitive until 2025 - and thats all going well.
WC supporter, I really think the visually out of shape players is a problem and in a professional club I don't see how thats possible, nic Nat has become a joke, he's either injured or playing poorly, coming from multiple AA selections, we have a couple decent young players in our team or coming through but sadly probably not enough, I definitely think it could be a couple hard years in front of us and we should probably look at cashing in some our assets that might be worth something and really try and get some young talent in
Bad advice? Rankine has had bad advice? Where was this garbage when McGovern “was advised” to leave Adelaide for Carlton wasn’t that bad advise. Adelaide playing finals Carlton rebuild. Mitch benefiting from being the 4th fwd at Adelaide… if people can see the bias in the media they are idiots too
