Biggest Premiership Hangovers - West 2015/16

[robranisgod]

Not a hangover, more like a holocaust at the moment. So many players injured after Christmas, poor recruiting and behind the scenes people's head so big that new doorways have needed to be built in the club. Will get on track, and I have said it from pre season, after about round 6 we will come good. Only a couple of games out of the five.


Must say recruiting was difficult when we didn't know how many players would be drafted, a lot of the better players available had signed or were way down the track of signing

This is the same for every club, not sure it can be used as an excuse for poor recruiting

Six in one hit is a lot to lose

I'm sure no club has managed to survive that much turnover and remain competitive.....

After finishing third in 2012, North lost 6 including 5 of their first 6 in their best and fairest and improved to second in 2013. The 6 were Bennett, Alleway, Allan, Currie, Clisby and Mayes.

Norwood apparently lost about 10 or 12 of their 2013 premiership before the 2014 season began and still won the flag.

[Brodlach]

Only team to ever have 6 drafted in one season I believe


That wasn't the point I was trying to make, more to do with salary cap etc

[Wolf Pack]

You can't recruit players when you are struggling for funds and you give the premiership players a pay rise
We lost 6 in the draft.
Homburg, Brind and Anderson all played in the prelim and have not been seen this year and probably won't be....
We also lost 3 or 4 second tier players....
And then gun players who just aren't fit!!!
That is why we will will finish bottom or close to it

[goddy11]

Can you guys tank for at least another match. We have struggled recently.

Good call. Norwood 2013 Premiership to Norwood 2014 Premiership

OUT
Alex Georgiou (19 games in 2013)
Brent Renouf (11)
Ben Warren (19)
Brett Zorzi (15)

James Aish (6)
Lewi Stevenson (12)
Matt Fuller (16)
Mitch Grigg (13)
Matt Suckling (18)
Matt Thomas (15)
Trent Dumont (10)

These players represented 42% of Norwood's entire league matches for 2013. And literally Norwood's seven best players in from their premiership side.

It wasn't surprising when they started 2014 with a 3-5 record after eight rounds, but eventually got it together.

Fantasia was another one lost to the draft that year

[Magellan]

Pretty impressive effort for the Redlegs to keep a strong team together on the field despite those considerable player losses over a long period.

Trent Dumont

Soon to be recruited by Yatala?

Seriously though, any news on his upcoming trial? I thought it was meant to be in April this year.

[Dutchy]

0-7 and has an average losing margin of 56 points this season

Surely getting close to being a record?

Well you'd have to compare it with the current most crap premiership defence.
What was Glenelg's average losing margin in 1935? At the moment you're leading Westies by one win. But it's still early in the season.

[mighty_tiger_79]

Glenelg won in rd 6 with average losses around 44pts

[stan]

When do we start saying West are still pissed?

[therisingblues]

Glenelg won in rd 6 with average losses around 44pts

Okay, so West have one win and percentage to make up on the Glenelg side of 1935.

It would be good if we had some sort of premiership table that shows the ten most crap premiership defenders from over the years.
West would then have some idea of how many games they would need to win in order to work their way up the list.

[therisingblues]

I think Sturt might possibly have an entry for the most crap premiership defence premiership table.
1977, the year after we smashed Port in the 1976 Grand Final, we finished 7th. That might possibly earn us a place on the table.

In 1984, West finished 6th, that might not be bad enough to get them a place in the worst ten, but I cannot think of many others off the top off my head.

[therisingblues]

Westies ' unexpected win over North has thrown wide open the greatest premiership hangover crown. I think they are still grasping the title on percentage from Glenelg, but any more wins like last week will see them blow any chance of eclipsing a record that had stood for about 8 decades.

WEST played 10, won 1, lost 9, 36.27 % 2pts.
8 more games to lose, and the title's theirs.
