Season previews: West Coast Eagles (18th)
Last season: 18th (3 wins, 20 losses, 53.0%)
Notable ins: Harley Reid (no. 1 draft pick), Tyler Brockman (Hawthorn), Matthew Flynn (GWS)
Notable outs: Luke Shuey (retired), Shannon Hurn (retired), Nic Naitanui (retired)
Predicting West Coast to finish at the bottom of the AFL ladder again is not the same as saying they won't be better this season. Their 2023 campaign was so disastrous that the Eagles could take significant steps in all facets of the game and still be mired in the depths of the bottom four for at least another year. Their percentage of 53.0% was better than only three historically bad seasons in the modern era: Fitzroy's final year in the AFL in 1996 (49.5%) and GWS's first two in 2012 and 2013 (46.2% and 51.0% respectively). Even Melbourne in their 2012 annus horribilis posted a better percentage (just barely at 54.1%).
West Coast would be hoping their improvement in 2024 comes from a modest injection of new talent and a renewed focus on keeping their best players on the park. The fitness boss has (fairly or unfairly) been turned over, the players' physical condition at the start of pre-season sharply noted and fingers and toes crossed they get more playing time from veterans such as Dom Sheed (15 games in 2023), Tom Barrass (14), Jamie Cripps (12), Elliot Yeo (10), Jeremy McGovern (9) and Liam Ryan (3). The retirements of club greats Shuey, Hurn and Naitanui will not be terribly felt on-field given they too failed to play a meaningful part last season. The Eagles would no doubt also like to see more from those that played only in body and not spirit last year (Andrew Gaff, Jack Darling).
The club added four players to their list in the national draft but beside the number one overall, none were higher than pick 30 so much rests on the shoulders of Reid. The expectations are hopefully more subdued internally than they are externally but the Eagles would be praying he can make some immediate impact and act as a talisman to supporters of brighter things to come. Brockman is a high-upside small forward bought cheaply and Flynn a big, mature body that should challenge Bailey Williams for the main ruck role.
Adam Simpson stays at the helm, a decision that seemed from the outside looking in as being motivated more by the number of years (and dollars) remaining on his contract than any belief he is the man to move forward with. Deck chairs have been shuffled around him but it is ultimately Simpson's gameplan the players will need to play to and his voice they will need to listen to. There is a view that 2018's premiership-winning style of controlling the play belongs to yesterday and that more than five years on from that Grand Final the players are ready to hear a less tired sounding voice. Club and coach have backed themselves in to change that but it quickly becomes much easier to move on Simpson with one full season left on his deal than two.
The Eagles play Port Adelaide (away), GWS (home), Bulldogs (away), Sydney and Richmond (both home) to kick off the season. They will not be favoured to win many of those games but it will be the manner in which they lose that shapes the narrative for the rest of their season. If they can get something close to their best 22 playing with passion then there is enough talent in some of the above names along with Tim Kelly, Oscar Allen and Reuben Ginbey to be competitive. But if there is a return to playing disinterested football and conceding astronomical scores, then the beating of the jungle drums leading into their Round 6 match against Fremantle will be deafening.
Simpson would not survive another hammering the likes of which they suffered in their last Derby (a 101-point loss in Round 23) and nor should he. The AFL have limited tools at their disposal to put pressure on West Coast to make changes (in light of all the above, they still made $1.9 million profit last year and have a near-decade long waitlist for seats) but the competition can no longer afford an unofficial bye each week.
Speaking of unofficial byes, next up is North Melbourne…

5 Things About Aquaponics Tank Your Boss Wants To Know
On a grassy compound in southern Ohio, Laura Tiu rounded up her recruits for boot camp. Jay Ma is a holistic educator, regenerative design marketing consultant, permaculture instructor, and social entrepreneur committed to creating ecological and cultural resiliency by residing techniques design principles. The Aquaponics Tank of farming saw the beginning of grand and bloody campaigns to glorify and expand these new burgeoning urban cultures, which quickly got here to cover just about your entire historical world. But that development is threatened by the two most obvious environmental weaknesses in China: acute water shortages and water provides contaminated by sewage, industrial waste and agricultural runoff that features pesticides.
Even when they have been keen to, they could not, because they do not have the depth of actual experience that comes from doing aquaponic organic farming for a residing, as we do. Most small aquaculture producers additionally course of, package deal and freeze small batches of fish, in order that they require this infrastructure and its associated prices. Asia Pacific Aquaculture 2016 would be the subsequent likelihood for the international aquaculture neighborhood to visit Indonesia since 2005. So the bottom line is that this: our systems and the Fish Tank Garden programs of others enable us to determine one giant module that may allow orphanages and neighborhood facilities to boost plenty of fish and a whole lot of wholesome vegetables in an economical method. I've heard fish people discuss issues like tilapia as dough supply methods.
Aquaculture of sturgeon (and the closely associated paddlefish) for roe is rapidly creating as an industry within the the United States. NorCal Aquaponics Methods step-by-step building handbook with variations and website particular purposes intended to make it straightforward for anybody to build an Aquaponics system.The remaining Fish Garden nutrients derived from fish wastes stimulates excessive phytoplankton development, excessive rates of phytoplankton metabolism cause pronounced diurnal fluctuations in dissolved oxygen concentrations, dissolved carbondioxide concentrations and ph, such fluctuations trigger stress in fish resulting in diminished fish development charges, poor feed conversation and lowered resistance to illness, in excessive cases, corresponding to depletion of dissolved oxygen, fish may be unable to adapt and can die.
If the fish farming business proprietor has no experience it is good that he first try and work for an established fish farming expert to know the ins and outs in fish farming. The choice of native fish depends on your geographical area of warm or cold water fish.Priorities have shifted from long-time period efforts that increase yields, a development that has contributed to the current international meals crisis as the world copes with shrinking grain supplies and document costs. Decided not to be crushed, Mr Coaker said he then Outdoor Fish Tank sought the experience of Gavin Partridge and Bruce Ginbey of the Australian Centre for Utilized Aquaculture Analysis, part of Challenger Institute of Know-how in Fremantle. One other important issue to contemplate in starting a home fish farming business is your budget.
With increased cooperation with different nations and organizations to supply more efficient monitoring, management, and surveillance, NMFS might help to convey truly sustainable aquaculture merchandise to the U.S. to be able to help the rising demand for secure seafood and protect our beneficial pure resources. We've now standardized on specifying Aquaculture Supplies programs by way of sq. toes (easily convertible into sq. meters), as many various raft sizes could also be used relying on the purpose of the system and the owner's preference and experience throughout the check develop”. This experiment, at the University of Maryland Baltimore County's Institute of Marine and Environmental Know-how , is the primary successful try in North America. I think it is higher to have more tanks than excessive fish populations, becuase it's higher for the entire system.
