One of WCE biggest issues and really should be what ends Simo’s tenure is “Credits in the bank”.
Darling 0 Marks, what a bloody joke! We all know if that was a younger player they’d be dropped. Cripps kicking at 40%, you accepting that from a senior player? Yes he will pop up every couple...
To be fair, his comment on Robertson was that we were confident. Listening to ROB in his interview a week back, he sounded confident too and Eagles might have thought it was looking likely.
In the end, the thing Eagles are best at is making money. What is the best way to develop some hype and...
Eagles always go best available talent with early picks. We have said if it’s a close call between a vic or a local we will take the local. Clearly this year there is a standout at 1 and that is Reid, also we do look at previous year’s performances as judge, which STILL has Reid at number 1...
I think we absolutely nailed last years draft. Happy to give the recruiting team another 3 or 4 picks in the top 30 to work with.
Watching Butters last night, couldn’t help but compare him to Noah
Long. So glad he is back in the lineup!
...question, I’m having a little bit of an argument with a mate, so looking for opinions.
Do west coast ask for special draft compensation? Two years* (looking likely) a record as bad as any team in recent years. I would say we would be asking the question and feel we have a case.
His argument...
Spoke to Rotham today at the footy clinic at my school. Didn’t have an arm brace on anymore, so asked him about it. Said he is about a fortnight away from being back and was pretty lucky.
I think people are being a little harsh on Jefferson at or second first rounder. Getting a mid then the second best tall seems alright to me.
I’d be happy with Clark and Jefferson, hopefully stops the narrative of only drafting WA kids coming out lately. Even better if Hewitt ends up sliding to...
I don’t think we are scared to take injured juniors for better or worse.
Traditionally we rate previous years performance pretty highly too (I’m sure I read that somewhere).
Now that Dunkley is going to Lions I wonder if it might be mutual beneficial for Devon Robertson to request out for more opportunity. Makes a bit of sense if we are in his ear.
Disagree, his credit in the banks when his form has been shocking is one of our biggest issues (granted he’s not the only one). He plays well once a month and will never be dropped. Think you’re overrating his defensive pressure a tad too.
Actually can see that happening, especially if North keep pick 1. But not sure GWS would do that as they have the next pick. Can see Hawks being the biggest chance especially if they know their player will be gone!
Our lack of pace makes me think we might target Elijah Tsatas with our pick. Happy with Sheezel as with no Rioli we need the x-factor in the forward line.
I’m just not sure Cadman should be our target.
I wasn’t a fan but the draft board has me changing my opinion. Think we can’t lose really with who we pick at 2 (one of Warldaw vs Tsatas). I’d even argue that ROB would prefer Tsatas as he’s got that extra acceleration and pace that we lack. Also, think we prefer dual position players.
