Regarding Jared Harsity - I think use picked up a great one there. His a natural 'footballer'. As I live near Freo oval I decided to go and watch the game between WA and Vic Country. At quarter time I happened to walk past the WA team huddle and couldnt help but notice Hardsity and think wow how...
We can have 50 midfielders competing for spots but if at least 3 of 4 dont turn into A-graders then they aren't worth the paper they are written on. It's the A-graders, the players with that x factor that set you apart from the rest. Fingers crossed a couple turn into A graders
I'd like to go with Cockatoo at pick 11. IF and that's a big IF Pickett and Coackatoo were both available at pick 11 i'd go Cockatoo. Might be a gamble as we have seen less of him but i'm also as a South Freo fan and i've seen Pickett regularly and I think the bigger body of Cockatoo would suit...
Firstly I'd like to say great work Knightmare. Every year I enjoy reading your work.
As a avid West Coast fan I'd like to go with Cockatoo at pick 11. IF and that's a big IF Pickett and Coackatoo were both available at pick 11 i'd go Cockatoo. Might be a gamble as we have seen less of him but...
Hard calls need to be made at the end of the season. Coach will give it this season to pan out then decisions will be made on his players.
Backline is fine, likewise the forward line. Just need a genuine crumber and a fit Le Cras.
If it was me I tell Cox to retire, Naitanui poor form has...
Sheppard is an interesting one. One minute he looks great the next minute your shaking your head. I think his worth persisting and we have to he was pick 7 in the 2009 draft which I just looked at and not many players have really come on from that draft as yet. Apart from Fyfe, Morabito (would...
Just listened to his press conference and he definitely sounded homesick but i'm sure most draftess would feel that on 1st day of pre-season if they have had to move interstate.
On the Garlett / Karpany selection debate. I would of chosen Garlett as he is EXACTLY the player we required. He...
Does anyone know what happens to our notes when we move over to the new stadium? Do they continue or do we purchase new ones? This will be my 28th year being a member but 24th year as a Noteholder and ever since I’ve been sitting in the same seat and wouldn’t give it up for anything. Quality...
But he said 'I need to make that work on game day'. Ie it was a subtle attack on the group meaning ‘use are fit but it doesn’t mean anything if use aren’t smart runners and don’t run both ways’
I like his style.
Coach has only been leading the team for a week and already i'm loving what i'm seeing from him.
This call dropping this guy 2 days into his coaching career.
Retreat to meet coach and set a game plan , desperatley needed.
Subtle attack on the playing group saying perception over east is that WC...
Congratulations to Adam Simpson and welcome to the club. Hope your hard and tough and clean out a few and introduce a similar game plan to the Hawks and even some strategic recruiting like the Hawks have done.
I have to say after not getting the best in Clarko I wanted Suma and I am gutted for...
And where did we finish on the ladder. Mate we need a lot better mids than him if we are too improve if he was our most damaging player. I don;t think many teams felt his damage.
If you think Masten is one of our most important players i'll go he.. What chance do we have if he is our most important players.
His improved that's about as much as i can say.
Every year come February I get sick of reading the paper and hearing how well Masten and Sheppard have run in the time trials.. Masten ok has just come on a 'bit' but Sheppard I dont care how well you run or how look like an 'athlete' just get a kick or go do athletics.
We need 'footballers'
What are the West Coast recruiters doing, nothing by the sounds of it.
How do they let Dawson, Pearce and especially Sylvia walk into Freo for free? Who have we gotten for free? Poor recruiting of recent years meant we paid over’s for Wellingham. Freo since the 2008 draft have only selected...
As long as the new coach comes in and gives Ash Smith his marching orders by this Friday then his done enough in my eyes.. team moral would have been boosted.. Players who played alongside him will walk taller knowing that he wont ever be in the same team as them.. I'm still shaking my head at...
Last night they mentioned on 6PR that the interviews were completed and the board were meeting Tuesday night to decide, they'd notify the successor today who would inturn notify his club today and the press conference would be on Thursday to announce it to the public.
Disappointed that we won’t be getting Clarko as I wanted the best but we have to move on and would be happy with Suma as the best of the rest. His done the time as an apprentice. His won a WAFL reserves premiership, coach a team to the WAFL grand final, 10 years at West Coast and 2 years at...
Clarko doesn’t really need to say much on the interview other than - let me do the identify of current AFL players and do the trading at trade week. It won’t always be WA players coming home for the sack of it but players that will be the BEST for the roles I require regardless where they live...
I reckon Clarko its nearly signed sealed and delivered. He never ruled it out when he was asked the question the other day. He also said on 'on the couch' some time ago that he though 10 years at 1 club was too long. Eagles are just being respectful to him and wont approach him til after his...
We'll most likely know more on Monday when the recruitment company Gerard and Daniels do the interviews and candidates do the can their formal presentations. I know the lesser likes will present then but not sure if Clarko will have to do a presenentation for the gig. I believe this recruiting...
Sydney had key players out and the Hawks are at full strength bar Suckling so it will be tougher opposition.. It's at the MCG and the oval is a lot wider than Subi so if the Hawks can switch play quickly they can find space down the opposite wing but if it's wet will be in Freo's favour.
Any...
Clarkson is the one we want. Thank god it's not Roos. The way he was talked up is like his won 5 flags that i've somehow missed.
The current playing list is fair at West Coast for a good coach to take over and make things happen right away. Worsfold lost interest and so did the players.
We...
I read through these threads about trading players in and out of West Coast. What I can’t understand is that most suggestion is to trade out non- West Aussies and trade in West Aussies. I don’t think this is the answer. There are about 700 players in the AFL that could change our list some way...
Smith will never play AFL again. His attitude and demeanour was deplorable. Rightly so he was the first player that I saw officially dragged in the last 5 years. The bench should not for rotations but for players who dished up the rubbish he did on the weekend. My eye were on him in the 4th qtr...
