"There would need to be significant improvement." | First Thoughts - The Biggest Loser from Round 8 (04.05.26)
03 May 2026
Chapter 1: Who is considered the biggest loser from Round 8?
Now on Fireball, the biggest loser. Biggest loser for Boston. Quality you can trust and rely on. Available at your local hardware and construction specialist. Despite Elliot Yeo thinking that the Eagles are not in a rut, he was shocked at the question. Paddy Sweeney was the journalist, so well done for that question. The Eagles were the biggest loser over the weekend, Kingy.
They took on Richmond. Who hadn't won a game with 16 when you add Dion Prestia of probably their pretty important players out at home and you lose, you are the biggest loser. Any other nominees you think in that over the weekend?
Well, that's a strong one, isn't it?
Hard to beat that.
Yeah. Well, I think Vossi again to be in the same position up at halftime. And to be fair, they played some pretty good footy in the second quarter.

Chapter 2: What were the Eagles' performance issues against Richmond?
They looked like they'd broken the shackles of the pressure that was on them as a club and now they're playing with some freedom and, yeah, just not to be. But what does it do for the West Coast situation? Does it make any difference? Everyone's, in my opinion, too quick to say, oh, no, they're rebuilding. They'll be right. Hang on a minute.
They're playing Richmond who have got all these injuries on the road. So they're at home in front of their own fan base. They've got the 20-year reunion. Everything was aimed around this weekend because this was going to be a win. We were going to celebrate these guys with a win. They didn't do it against the Sydney Swans. They did it against Richmond. That wasn't by accident, right?
So I look at it and I say, no, the whole club set this up.
Chapter 3: How did the Eagles' recent game impact their season outlook?
And you just had to find a way. The kid went crazy in the first half. He did. What do you have, 18 and two goals in a half? I mean, that just should have been stamped.
What's coming up for our West Coast Eagles?
You don't agree? You don't really give me much there. You're not saving something for the agenda set today. No, I'm not. I'd sometimes know when you are.
Well, what are you suggesting? Sack the coach already? No, I'm saying ā It's too early to sack the coach.
How about performance? How about not play to keep your job but do the job?

Chapter 4: What are the implications of the Eagles' rebuilding phase?
It's just ho-hum. It's just the same. It's just the same stuff. I get bored of talking about the Eagles. What do you do? Melbourne, the Giants, Collingwood, Essendon, Port Adelaide North. So there's some opportunities against Essendon and North before they have their bye. But he's got one more year after this. There would need to be significant improvement next year.
I know that's a long way away with a lot of footy left to play this year. But does he feel like the guy to me? Probably not. I don't think I'm with Trent Cotchen that Andrew McWalter is going to be their next premiership coach. I'm not 100% certain like Trent is, so I think the jury is out on that one. Bit of a way off, isn't it? That's a fair way off. You got something for us?
Drive for show, putt for dough for your golf clearance outlet. We beat everyone's prices. Now, my man, Jamara Ugelhagen, kicked three goals, won yesterday, and there's more than signs of life. This kid is already their second best forward and is going to be a significant member of their push in the back half of the season. I'm wrapped for him. I'm really happy that they're seeing this so early.
Do you agree?
Chapter 5: How does the coaching situation affect the Eagles' future?
Not yet.
I need to see a lot more. I'm not sold.
You have to be sold.
You asked me if I agree. Yeah, I'm happy for him. It's great to see him back. I like to see all the talented players playing, but... I'm not sold that he's going to be a significant piece of the puzzle yet.
Pick and stick, please.
Uh, Jed Walter for me at this stage. Um, Ethan Reed at this stage.
Oh, my God. Jamara Ugelhagen or Caminiti? Jamara. I just wanted to hear.
I just need. You just keep going until we went down the line. I just wanted one. Jamara or Toby Murray? Golf clearance outlet, golfs. Oh, we lost that.
All right.
