Yeh as an Eagles fan… to start getting lectured by the “king of integrity” Sam McClure on our draft pick, and then hearing the “genius” decision of Nine hiring Tom Morris… it really put me in my place. Boy do I feel silly!! I really did some soul-searching after this 😂
Reid is the nail in the coffin to his incredibly hopeless media career. Ive never seen a more unpopular person. He is probably the biggest loser to be on tv ever. If I was him I couldnt do it... Id just end it.
McClown has no idea. With those players in their 30’s retiring it brings along Salary Cap space , where you can offer McDonald from Sydney and English from Bulldogs a heap of money along with Draft picks too. West Coast has 20 players 21 years or younger that will be 24 in 2027. The guy says crap for clicks and then denies it. Caro called him out and said he got it wrong lol
Is English gonna wanna play for a club thats losing by an avg of 10goals? Seriously what star wants to jion that. WC needs to get itself a new coach, Simpson's was a great coach when he has talent. Right now he's trying to play corridor football with arguably the most talent lacking side in the AFL.
@@buffalosoulja3666 I think you’re being a bit premature. Simpson has had 2-3 years of injuries to stars. He will be judged more for what he does this year than the last 2. And English will be rucking to Reid, Ginbey and Hewitt. Why would he not want to finish his career home in WA. He has a house here and bulldogs want salary cap too. But I just used him as an example. Money won’t be a factor and early draft picks won’t either. Eventually it will lead to performance, it has to. Look at Melb and Carlton. And they didn’t even have the money to spend on Football Dept. I am sure West Coast are thinking just pay the spend tax and fast track the development. Richest Club with over $60M in cash reserve. I am sure a lot of people are enjoying us being rock bottom, but it won’t be long before we bounce back. History tells you that.
@@ralphgomeze8873 The slow fall under Simpson started right after the 2018 flag when they finished 5th in 2019 followed by a shocking elimination to a poor Magpies side in 2020 and not even playing Finals in 2021. Stop using the 2022 and 2023 injuries as an excuse.
@@taliamason7986 I agree with you regarding our fall from grace, however, i believe Simpson will be gone by the end of the season. I can't imagine Pyke holding onto him any longer.
Sam is a bloody liar! He absolutely INSTSTED MULTIPLE TIMES that Harley Reid was not going to the Eagles and did not want to stay there. Now he's backtracking hard! Just admit, Sam, that among the many bad decisions the Eagles have made over recent years, they got the Reid decision right and the boy has already made it clear he wants to be with West Coast. Just grow a set of balls, Sam, and admit that you got it TOTALLY WRONG. My Eagles certainly need more than Reid, but we know we can build a team around him as often happens around superstar players. Kane is spot on by saying that if Reid were doing everything he currently is in a North jumper, the Eagles would be heavily criticised for giving him up. Also, what the Eagles really need right now is not more draftees but more decent players in their low to mid 20s to lead our young brigade. No point having all these draft picks with no one to lead them. All these old players are about to retire giving us plenty of salary cap space to buy the players we need.
If he signs a contract extension you'll know that he is committed to the club. If he doesn't, you'll know you're in trouble. You might have cap space when players retire, but that doesn't mean that good players actually want to come to the Eagles. The same applies to North.
@@gustaaf1892 West Coast is a destination Club, 100,000 members with a strong history. They'll easily bring back WA players from rival clubs while also drafting more out of state players that will play a career there.
McClure is becoming a bigger flogg than cornes,, got it totally wrong last year still can't man up an own that ,and seems have his foot in his mouth again
Cornes actually does his research and gets it right more than wrong. Coming from a Crows supporter, I want to hate Cornes - but he's one of the best personalities on 9 (behind Llyod). McClure is hands down the worst. He must have dirt over the CEO.
Reid has it made in Perth, will get way richer staying long term in the Wild West by being the biggest fish in a small but ever growing pond that has BILLIONS slushing around
How would they regenerate though? Get nothing for Darling, get next to nothing for Yeo given he was injured. If they had traded out key defenders and key forwards they would've been copping grief from the same "journos" about how they'd don't it wrong.
I agree… I can’t stand Kane Cornes… but there are some contrarians who love the guy and his takes. He is loved by some people (I don’t understand why, but they are out there) However Sam McClure doesn’t even have small demographic who like his style at all… he is despised across the board I don’t like Kanes opinions but one of his positives is the fact that he is not insecure In contrast, Sam McClure is the most insecure AFL journalist in Australia. He doubles down on stuff and then attacks the person when questioned after being wrong
This segment isn’t about Pyke or West Coast, it is about an embarrassingly wrong journalist who doesn’t know how to say “sorry I was flat out wrong”, trying *way too hard* to cover his tracks. Remember the Big Public Apology? Then the mean-minded followups? CH 9 making a big mistake keeping him on, he is getting worse, and not maturing.
Lying to the camera and trying to save face lmao. Said this already, but the fact that they allow a nepo baby that gets his "stories" from BigFooty forum to host, let alone appear, tells you everything about this show and their industry
As an Eagle fan I am refusing to watch 1 second of this 😂. Kane damn well knows the blessings that have been delivered to Port… they got Willie from us and we were nice about it (I wish Willie Rioli the best)… they got Jason Horne-Francis from North… They are playing in Adelaide a whopping 7 times in the first ten rounds for 2024 fixture. So Kane is the last person in the world who should be bitching lol. Try and put yourself in our shoes last year… we had the most depressing day of our sports life with the 171 point atrocity… (it was like footy PTSD), and then later Kane comes along and says “the AFL should intervene and not let Harley come to Perth”. So forgive me, but if there is a clip about the Eagles with anything Kane Cornes speaking about us… I cannot bring myself to watch it. His harsh criticism about our on-field performance is 100% accurate (no complaint there), but when he imposed his advocacy of dogging us culturally I just had enough Even if you absolutely hate and despise the Eagles, even you can’t stand us… he completely crossed the red line there
I'm an Eagles fan and i believe everything he said about our recent culture was absolutely correct. However, his comment about the AFL preventing Reid from coming to the Eagles was stupid. I am happy to see Don Pyke in charge as he seems to be trying to right the ship.
Nine coughed up the AFL TV rights 20 years ago, after having them for about 3 years. They always seemed more interested in NRL coverage. The last half-decent AFL program in their portfolio was The Footy Show, which lost ratings and is now off the air. I wish they would just get their hand out of the AFL cookie jar altogether.
McClure probably led the campaign to pass on Harley Reid and take Daniel Curtin. Reids busting grown men tackles while Curtin plays SANFL yet to debut lol. Mcclure.......flogg
Maclure is just trying to justify why he was 1000% wrong on his original Reid story. Maybe one day, in a Galaxy Far Far Away, one of his predictions will come good, .. and he can have his ''I told you so'' moment. Eagles can also pick guys in mid season drafts... so they should be able to build a side around Oscar Allen and Harley Reid over the next three years. But I agree, there needs to be a cleanout of older players , traded or retired over the next two years to make the most of the draft hands they will be dealt. Offering McGovern up sadly might be something they have to look at seriously... hes in all Australian form again.. that should warrant a top ten pick.
Well im no sam fan im no media fan but with all the talk about reid he probably maybe felt obligated to do what he did! Ive seen many a player say they love the club there at and along comes a rising club offer billions and of he goes to get big money AND a cup! Now im no media opinion based so im not saying he will or will not stay but there definitely is a 50 50 chance he leaves to 1. Come home 2. Leave a club that is 10 to 15 years away from a cup and 3. Big money and a cup chance! But the only one of those 3 reasons they can match is money! The other 2 they cannot! There the 3 reasons a player leaves they can only match 1! If eagles are on bottom in 3 years i rekon he leaves and that jumper tugg will be long forgotten! And i agree they could of traded that pick for 2 to 3 quality players! But thats just my opinion!

@@mareewalker1096 Well the way the draft works if clubs are smart and dont trade away top picks, they should get another 2-3 top five picks, and if the Eagles were brave and decided to trade McGovern, Barras and even Yeo.. I think they can get another 2 or three top ten or top 15 picks.. that gives them a nice chunk of top young talent to begin crafting a side. I think Petracca et al were taken around 2014 .. 2015.. they won a flag in six years for the Dees. So I think the Eagles are four years away from contending again... right around the time Harley Reids contract negotiation comes up. The only guy who left who the Eagles wanted to keep was Chris Judd, and we got Josh Kennedy in return, the greatest power forward ever to play for the club. As long as the Eagles dont trade top talent away in the next 3 years they should be well on the way to make a charge sometime around 2028. Theres no quick fixes sadly the way the draft is. Cheers ; ]
you dont force trade stars of your club to get picks this is the difference between US sport and AFL, its about culture and team first. Sam obviously never played footy or team sport.
Yeo should have been traded to the suns last year? He has been one of the best players this year, West Coast would be in a lot more strife if they traded him.
It is incredibly rare for me to say this, but for once I agree with Caro on this one. I grew up near Tongala and me and Harley both played for Bendigo Pioneers at the same time, so I speak with more than a little authority on this matter. Even if he doesn't play his entire career there, at the moment I know for a fact he is extremely happy in WA and has no plans to move home. He told me that WA feels like a classier, better Geelong and Geelong is his favourite place in Victoria. I would love for him to come home, but I don't honestly see it happening.
Taking Reid will be shown up as a monumental list management stuff up. They turned down picks 2 (McKercher?), 15 (Wilson, Hardeman, Collard, Moir?) & 2024 1st round pick (O'Sullivan, Smillie, Smith, Draper?) and still have massive holes in the list considering they haven't even bottomed out yet. Add this to the Kelly Trade, Gaff extension & 2021 draftee injury tolls and it makes ugly reading.
@@user-cx9gq2ud6t You obviously have shizen intel out west.....LOL. You actually took the kid who is the REAL go home risk at the top of the draft..........L............O.................L...........
Yes, they do need Harley Reid. But they also have Allen, Hewitt, Long, Gimbey, Maric, Culley, Chesser, Hough, Witherden, Williams, AND more coming down the pipeline. And much like the Vic clubs, WA players will feel a go home factor for the WCE. There is MORE than enough stock there for a team. With Reid as the centrepiece, the Eagles will be flyin' high for years to come.
Why trade down in a draft full of protected academy players? Split the first rounder last year and got two building blocks with Ginbey and Hewitt, now they've drafted the centrepiece to build around
We had another pick in the 20s but after all the acadamy bids it ended up being in the 30s. Fix the broken system instead of criticising teams who are at a clear disadvantage
Guys im a freo fan, 100% they messed up by not going to last draft hard, guess what, they will probably get pick 1 or 2 this season and can use that to get 3 top 10 picks and build around their man harley next draft.
10 year deals @ 18 million LoL Wasn't it just last year, they all sat there , saying a 5 years deal is the most you should offer any player. A player can be your future one day and mandatory retirement the next Daniel Venables & Brad Shepherd are testament to that and SGIO insurance which was the club's insurer becoming Lendi.
I’m just gonna make a smart ass observation 😂. To Melbourne footy media, you guys have calling us Eagles fans delusional for years, for not rejecting Harley Reid for other picks, keeping Simmo, staying positive (in the darkest times)… and then comes the next segment I could imagine another hypothetical on-air segment “Let’s discuss the homophobic slur concerning Jeremy Finlayson, here is breaking news with Tom Liquor-license Morris!!” lol Seriously… say what you want about my teams atrocious on-field performance…. So no offence, but I’m not taking advice from “Footy Of Nine” about “wise” hiring and firing decisions when you have hacks like Sam McClure. How about having a “deep dive” on the integrity of the Morris hiring? As soon as you do that, then you can take shots at us again
McLure, is Reid worth more than he was 6 games ago or less? Obviously more. So if he's worth as you say an 18-million 10-year deal and every one of the 18 clubs is destined to try and trade him then he's probably worth at least three first round draft picks with that level of demand, wouldn't you say? Well done Eagles.
This video has aged well. Doesn’t look like they are going to finish bottom to me after winning 2 games out of 6. This guy has no idea ! Every prediction he says that is suppose to be fact turns to poop lol
First of all you can't treat West Coast as if they are stupid and permanently out of options, how else would they be so successful and the richest club in the AFL? Second Sam McLure you are trying to take Harley Reid's brilliant performance as a platform to talk smack about the Eagles, which makes you look pathetic and if Harley Reid is the next Dustin Martin or Chris Judd, your just hopelessly devoted the Eagles will continue to struggle, because he has the makings of a Premiership Captain and jealous West Coast has him 😅
He has said many times that he is happy at West Coast and that he is getting angry at people, like Sam McNobody, making unwarranted assumptions about him. Reid is playing with passion and is showing everyone as obviously as possible he can that he loves his club.
“I didn’t say that” -the guy who said that like 47 times on this very show last year
I nearly choked laughing when he said that, I've watched the recording of him saying that more than once, he's a coward, no balls
Yeh as an Eagles fan… to start getting lectured by the “king of integrity” Sam McClure on our draft pick, and then hearing the “genius” decision of Nine hiring Tom Morris… it really put me in my place.
Boy do I feel silly!! I really did some soul-searching after this 😂
Sam clearly very sensitive to anything Harley Reid related. Which is understandable given how hilariously wrong he was
Reid is the nail in the coffin to his incredibly hopeless media career. Ive never seen a more unpopular person. He is probably the biggest loser to be on tv ever. If I was him I couldnt do it... Id just end it.

This didnt age well
I’m just gonna make a smart ass observation 😂.
To Melbourne footy media, you guys have calling us Eagles fans delusional for years, for not rejecting Harley Reid for other picks, keeping Simmo, staying positive (in the darkest times)… and then comes the next segment
I could imagine another hypothetical on-air segment
“Let’s discuss the homophobic slur concerning Jeremy Finlayson, here is breaking news with Tom Liquor-license Morris!!” lol
Seriously… say what you want about my teams atrocious on-field performance…. So no offence, but I’m not taking advice from “Footy Of Nine” about “wise” hiring and firing decisions when you have hacks like Sam McClure.
How about having a “deep dive” on the integrity of the Morris hiring? As soon as you do that, then you can take shots at us again
To be fair they should have had had pick 19 but due to concessions were pushed back. Not their fault they didn’t have 2 inside 20.
Wilson needs to be on radio. Not looking good these days
wc need to trade all of their older players for young players either in the draft or from other clubs
Too late
And get what for them?
Will North give us a top 25 pick for Gaff?
@@Rb-fp7mw as a freo fan im hapy😀😀😀
McLure, is Reid worth more than he was 6 games ago or less? Obviously more. So if he's worth as you say an 18-million 10-year deal and every one of the 18 clubs is destined to try and trade him then he's probably worth at least three first round draft picks with that level of demand, wouldn't you say? Well done Eagles.
When was don pyke the CEO 😂
These titles sometimes give me seizures trying to read until i sound it out and make sense of it. Anyone else?
When Sam sleeps at night he sees Harley Reid playing at Carlton and contracted for 36 years
This video has aged well. Doesn’t look like they are going to finish bottom to me after winning 2 games out of 6.
This guy has no idea ! Every prediction he says that is suppose to be fact turns to poop lol
Harley Reid will end up in Melbourne no doubt like Buckley did he’s a talented winner so loosing in a two team town will wear off very quickly
Footy classified added 3 years to Elliot Yeos age 😂
They are in a bad way...as a wce supporter...
Sam McClure is such an average AFL pundit
yeo is old 30? how many others of these are wrong
McClure is the absolute worst
Reid will be at the Cats in 3 years time on big bucks...replacement for Danger
Gee, this has aged well 2 weeks later…..
so funny watching this after 2 good wins and the same people backtracking
First of all you can't treat West Coast as if they are stupid and permanently out of options, how else would they be so successful and the richest club in the AFL? Second Sam McLure you are trying to take Harley Reid's brilliant performance as a platform to talk smack about the Eagles, which makes you look pathetic and if Harley Reid is the next Dustin Martin or Chris Judd, your just hopelessly devoted the Eagles will continue to struggle, because he has the makings of a Premiership Captain and jealous West Coast has him 😅
Harley Reid might also be doing an audition for any team in Melbourne.
Or he just wants to play well for his team.
He has said many times that he is happy at West Coast and that he is getting angry at people, like Sam McNobody, making unwarranted assumptions about him. Reid is playing with passion and is showing everyone as obviously as possible he can that he loves his club.
We only took 1 in the top 30 because the AFL gives charity to all the parasite clubs who don’t make money
McClure has no Clue.
Its only one games guys give him.a break
Sam is a goose
Get rid of McClure he's useless
West Coast are kidding themselves.
I agree with lloydy & sam.. Caro just listens to argue 🤡
I usually agree with Mathew Lloyd but Sam just lied about his Harley Reid stance. So what exactly do you agree with him about?
He'll be back in Melbourne in two years at punt rd
McClure is wrong so ofter
Bunch of flops ha
Absolutely no credibility Sam McClure. What a joke!
SAM WHO ?
