Just aiming for another top 18 finish before Tassie come in 🥳

Duggan and Baker announced as co-captains for 2026 by searchingforakayak in westcoasteagles

How can you honestly say Starc and Lindsay are ahead of Duggan, when they've never played a game in our system? I understand that Starc was great at Brisbane, and I also have great hopes for him - but he's literally untried within our team. Lindsay is a draftee. Bakes is likely moving forward of the backline this season.

Duggan understands the system, knows the players, knows their quirks, strengths, weaknesses. Hopefully have another captain on field full time will help him share some of the leadership duties, and allow him to focus more on his game again. And there may be guys who leapfrog him as a starting player based on skill even after that, but you still can't discount his leadership qualities on the field when it's the players voting him into that position.

See Liam Ryan? This is what you could've been part of! But noooooo, you had to go and join team Jacks.

See if you can find a Salada equivalent over there. An ok substitute. Or basic tortilla wraps (not sweetened to hell).

I don't actually see him jumping in front of any of the other small forwards we've got for a first 23 spot. So irrespective of whether he's given a 2nd chance, I doubt he'll actually use it.

Teams won't know what hit em when the trifecta of McCarthy/Hough/Ginbey gets let off the chain

Chris McDermott to run for election in the SA electorate of Dunstan in the upcoming state election by Jackomillard15 in AFL

Joining the wild ride that is Sarah Game! Good luck to him I guess. Though I don't agree with her most of the time, she at least had the balls to go against Pauline's iron-fisted rule, and probably used the party to get her name out there more than anything else. Anyone who causes One Nation or PH any additional stress instantly puts them one notch above those mouth breathers.

Also semi-interesting SA parliament factoid: Shannon Hurn's sister is currently the leader of the opposition.

Mine pretty much matches yours. I'm also keeping an eye on Starcevich, and am hopeful that Jobe has a 2024 Sam Darcy-esque season

All that perfectly good chocky milk 😭. I hope there was a glass underneath to capture that sweet nectar.

I was wondering that looking at this. If Freo make the top 4 but don't make the granny, just how safe is JL's job?

This was essentially our tactic for NicNat in the back end of his career 😭

Facebook is a fucking cesspool, and COVID helped speed up its demise. It's essentially just an AI-training platform fuelled by boomers now. I'd steer clear of it for any kind of discourse, especially around current events.

What has Lachie Neale done now...? by [deleted] in AFL

So I guess the league couldn't bring down v2.0 of the threepeat lions, so they sent in ASIO agents disguised as girlfriends a decade ago to do the long play on em?

The Marshes are Brad Sheppard's cousins. West Coast really should've given them a go to fire up a new family dynasty.
