I have never said WCE aren’t a well run club.
I’ve been taking the p$ss out of them for decades for all sorts of things like poor culture (drug & otherwise), arrogance, losing a current & Premiership captain, etc.
However, this year’s victory against great odds, with 3 AA’s in the stands, opponents home-ground advantage and 5 goals down was an extraordinary effort.
I have been greeting my Weagle mates and family since their victory (except my brother in law last night, but that’s another story) with:
Great game, amazing comeback and well deserved victory -credit where credit is due. It’s left every single one of them (who all know how much I hate their team) speechless.
But that is besides the point here. What the issue up for debate here is that because they won a flag - everything they do is genius and above reproach. Including the drafting of a journeyman ruckman to replace their Premierahip winning No. 1 ruckman who just rejected a contract extension to join another club.
It’s not ‘genius’ - that’s called plugging a gap when your real target (Lobb) chooses the club in ‘disarray’ across the river.
