Groveling , begging , snivelling , kowtowing , squinching , worming , nosing , stealing

words that describe a pack of creepers
definitions of contempt and outright selfishness
and it contains the name West Coast Eagles
an organisation that stands for drug culture
criminal activity and underworld connections
and outright weirdos in several well known instances
the last two paragraphs amount to the largest of any club ever in Australia in any sport
snivelling curs who now expect a handout
because they’ve squandered years of high draft chances
a shameful pack of hyenas who deliberately fool
cunning rats who feed on their obviously simple membership

Very true mate. nothing new there.

No WC fan but all that a bit harsh. Saying that I am surprised they have asked. Doing this takes away their ability to be smug and bad move by them.

And how very smug they have been. More and without doubt, arrogant and highly arrogant at that.
It is total arrogance that they now bleat and moan about their situation. A club devoid of any humility.
A club that just seven years ago won the premiership.
Just go back to how they cried like babies about having to go into the hub on the GC. They became total rabble because of it. They just would not accept that they, the Mighty Eagles should have to do what every other club had to do.
They treated it like sulky little boys. Their fitness went from being fit to being fat. Just had to see them play. And nothing has changed.
They should remember that a club like the Saints have won one flag in 125 years.
I find it totally abhorent that they have the audacity to even contemplate asking.

Thought you were putting in a bid for Rogets Thesauras there Southerner given the title of this thread :sweat_smile:

I am not an Eagles supporter but I think we need to put our biases aside and determine whether or not it is in the best interests of the AFL competition to have a team so far off the pace that every other team treats them as an automatic win every time they play. The quality of their players is so far behind the rest of the comp that even when other teams in the bottom 4 play them( eg Richmond) they look a million dollars. Yes where they find themselves now is a consequence of some of the poor decisions they have made, however I don’t think it is good for any competition to have a team that is struggling to the extent that they have been for the past 5 years

I could handle that for the next 15 years, at least, Mike :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

no different to NM really nor any other team that has had concessions over the 30 years the AFL have allowed them.

If the AFL are deaf set serious, there are four VFL clubs that are a drain on the comp. Make them stand on th
eir own feet, if not toss them out. NM, Saints Dogs and Dees.

What a load of crap anchor. Is the thought of a grand final swelling the head?

Hey southy, I didn’t think you were into the AFL. You forgot to finish your rant with something like “and 7 grand final appearances for 4 wins”….:grinning_face::grinning_face::grinning_face:

LIL, my hopes are always high.
What is crap?

Actually mate
The dividends have been cut to us all
But the fecks can pay some pimple headed nobody 24 million
And then have the absolute gall to stick their grubby hands out
Apart from the 1990’s there isn’t any legal premierships
One of them so badly drug fuelled nobody dares talk about it
You know yourself it’s wrong there’s no hiding

Really?? You need to get out more anchor.

I think you’re out of it with the drug thing, everyone knows a bloke who knows a bloke….. But I’m with you 100% on the Harley thing. He’s going to be a good player you’d think, but at the age of 20…fkn spare me. The media is telling us how he’s Gods gift to football, but hopefully the Eagles don’t get sucked in. Not sure about Don Pyke though.

Yeah maybe
But it’s not possible to hide Cousins Kerr Fletcher Chick Gardiner Lynch Hunter and company
Or try to even think about covering it up somehow mate
And you are an intelligent creature 58

Sharky, tell me what is crap . Whst did I write that is crap.

Anchor, since the dorks entered the comp, 3 of the 4 teams you mention have won a flag. The 4th, St K has been in 3 grand finals. Freo have been in 1 losing gf. The only gf freo have won is 2 flags in the WAFL with heavily loaded afl players. So on the strength of that, perhaps Freo should be the team that is kicked out as they are the non performing anchor.

Financially Fremantle are way ahead of all the VFL clubs named. All are badket cases … fact.
Dees had a CEO appointed by the AFL , a coach appointed by the AFL .All AFL funded. Oh and to this day… subsidised with hand outs by the AFL.
Saints one premiership in 125 years. Slwsys in financial strife. Still are
Bulldogs, AFL subsidised financially. Priority picks. Still on the SFL feeder bank.
NorthRoad Kill Roos. Since before the Eagles joined have been feeding off the AFL. One of 7 VFL clubs named in 1986 as being unfinancial and trading insolvently. Always had low membership even during their hay days. Then only survived with the Ansett money.
Even today have a lack of membership and priority pick constantly from the AFL. A coach now appointed by the AFL.

Give me all the facts you want, but as one AFL official said in a discussion, “that’s what it is”. While you’re auditing them, you can add the reported 50 mil loss the AFLW incur each year. For the time being, it will stay as is. Bye for now.

Not talking AFLW. The teams I mentioned were all a burden on the then VFL. The VFL that was trading insolvently. As I said, seven VFL clubs were trading insolvently. Those four plus, Richmond Hawthorn and ond other.
Try to change the scenario by attacking the AFLW, which will be unstable for some time, but deny that VFL clubs have been THE problem since way before 1987.
The other club, Richmond, led by Graham Richmond, who famously said, “Yes we all know there are too many clubs, and yes some should merge, just as long ascit is not my club”.
And I am sure we all rememver the sheeit fight when tge VFL tried to merge Melboune and Hawthorn.
Head in sand attitude Sharky.
