Didn't really want to give Yeo maximum votes after his first three quarters but wasn't sure who else to give it to... he was massive in the final term though. Waterman another who...
Tyrell was on the club's Coast to Coast podcast this week. Confirmed his last name is pronounced DEW-ar (as in water droplets) and that DEE-war is just a nickname.
Says he's put on 14kg since arriving at the club, which is pretty crazy given how skinny he still is.
Also talked about playing...
I remember during the preseason there was a real discussion about who would take the final tall forward spot in the team out of Maric and Waterman.
Seemed to be a consensus that Allen, Darling and Bailey Williams would form our tall forwards, with room for only one of Maric and Waterman...
Fantastic to see Hewett running again but I think we’ll have to be patient with his recovery timeline.
Since November last year he’s hardly been doing any running - or when he has started to build his loads, he’s subsequently pulled up sore and had his training wound back.
Just hasn’t had any...
WAFL Round 5: BYE :crossmark:
JJ enjoyed a week off in Perth as the AFL side traveled to the Gold Coast and the Beagles had a bye.
WAFL Round 6 vs East Perth: 14 disposals, 4 rebound 50s, 2 marks, 2 tackles, 1 inside 50, 4 frees against
I don't recall much from this game, so here's what...
Not sure if this has been mentioned yet, but I'm loving what McGovern is doing with the kick in duties the last few weeks.
He has shown himself to be a genuinely elite ball user - not something I've really associated him with in the past - and he delivered several perfectly weighted passes...
Our bye is now 4 weeks away. I wonder when they’ll start giving us some updates on how Hewett is doing - he’s been listed as “post-bye” for over a month now without any indication of how he’s progressing.
Bazzo in a similar boat, we haven’t heard a thing about where he’s at for the last 6 weeks...
12 months ago Dewar was struggling to find his feet in the WAFL, having a handful of touches every game and maybe kicking a goal every 2-3 games as a small forward. You could tell he had talent but looked like he was a long way off even being close to AFL ready.
Fast forward to early in his...

Interesting interview with Reuben on ABC (starts at 17:20). Talks about his current role in the team, the workload of playing on the wing vs inside and his injury last season.
Was also quite honest about his season...

Full interview with Petch can be found here (skip to 12:15 into the show)
Actually speaks quite well, offers some good insight. Certainly sounds like he’s matured a fair bit in his time at the club
Shuey areas unfortunately. Still impacting games when he’s out there but his body is failing him.
Seems to happen quite often to these explosive, burst type mids late in their careers
Adam Simpson mentioned last week that he had hamstring tendinopathy. I’m far from an expert in this area but this doesn’t sound like the usual sort of hamstring strain, but maybe something that requires a different form of management.
So while we're in a pretty good position now with 37-39 (pending Barrass & Reid) out of 44 players available, this is about as good as it'll get before Round 11.
Any injuries we cop in the next month won't be offset by players returning from injury so we might start to see the unavailable...
Didn't mean for that post to come across as writing him off, just a bit concerned about how his confidence levels would be after that game. He just looked particularly despondent after kicking his goal. I wouldn't have expected him to beat Reidy going in, but it was a very one-sided battle all...
WAFL Round 4 vs Peel Thunder: 23 disposals, 5 tackles, 2 inside 50s, 2 marks
Most of the Beagles side lowered their colours on the weekend but thought JJ was one of the better performers. Some good defensive efforts and although he wasn't as clean as last week, still had a positive impact...
Must admit I was quite concerned about Barnett after Saturday’s game. Was just completely and utterly dominated by Reidy, lost almost every ruck contest in the third term when Peel were just waltzing it out of the centre. Outbodied and outplayed.
Kicked a late goal but his celebration (or lack...

Jamaine Jones the best AFL-listed Eagle on the ground according to Horsley. Nice to see after some struggles to start the season from him.
Also interesting to hear about Jordyn Baker's game - by the eye he wasn't great...
