Well, Andrew Krakouer needed to put up a 40+ disposal, four goal game domination to round off an elite season in 2010. He began his second stint in the AFL, at the Pies, in 2011. He was 28 years old.

Harley would be starting with a new AFL club if he followed the same best on ground in a grand final season, dragging them to a flag, as a 31 year old turning 32 by the end of the year.

I'm happy for him that he is keeping at it, but the reality is he might be trying to climb up the waterfall.
He'll be right providing he still has his scooter! 😉

The West is onto it. No paywall for their preferred Eagles audience;

That's gotta put a dent in their 2023 premiership aspirations.
 
Do the toasters have a list spot next week for Stubbs if we select Serong??
dunno, good question. I think all their injured folk who missed last year are back now (??). Darling just gone down this morning, but not sure if it's season ending.....that maybe changes things if so, we'll have to see. But as it stands I think their list is full?

There seems to be a story every second day on AFL.com talking up the Eagles pre season ,Not much chat about other sides pre season . Is this the propaganda machine at West coast in overdrive?
They seem to have only who they want reporting on their locked sessions.
Seem to remember a Fitter (best time trials ) and faster ball movement narrative last year as well.
 
Much as I hate to say it, with a full list, Chesser, Ginbey & who ever else they picked last year to debut they should go alright the Slime.
They should go better for sure , The elephant in the room with them is their mid tier talent 21-27 is still A big question mark for me.
Ginby , Chesser , Hewitt and Long still haven't played a game yet , So wait and see on those boys.
They have guys like Culley , Hough and Bazzo that look ready to take the next step.
I see a false dawn for them with a rise this year and next maybe o.k and a bottom out around 2025 .
Would like to hold fire on their pre season form until I see them play a decent side , remember so far they have only played the Eagles with a mixture of the beagles (both ordinary last year):)

Kennedy gone is going to hurt more than they realise.
 
yep , And if darling is out for any length of time that is asking a lot of Oscar Allen .
An injured kid who's been out for a year. I can't see them lifting much from bottom 4 tbh, as much as I'd like them to forever finish 9th.
 
There is a lot of expectation placed on Chesser for a youngest who is yet to play a game. The Egos media write him up as if he is already an established AFL player rather than a second year draftee who is yet to debut.

He may turn out to be a decent player but talk about high expectations (however it is pre season and all draftees at every club are still all champions just waiting to bloom)

To be expected I suppose, we have similar feelings on Johnson and you put that added bit of hope on kids when you're rebuilding so for them, Chesser is something to get very excited about

The fact they chose him over Johnson suggests they saw something special. Johnson looked rolled gold from a long way out.
