What are peoples thoughts on Finn Maginness? Would he consider a move for better role and guaranteed games. Could he be an option in the Barrass trade, so a 1st and FM for Barrrass, instead of the proposed 1st, and F1 for F2 being thrown around. Perfect age profile, is a more than capable mid...

Agree. Think he's worth developing into what is currently Cripps' role, and how Waterman used to play when he was the 4th Forward, up and down the ground. He had pretty good endurance beginning of last year before his knee. Think it worth persisting with. Not sure other than Long, who doesnt...

Hall no glove at Training this morning. May have just missed his chance the last couple of weeks not being 100% with Reid and Kelly now coming back. Maybe a sub chance soon?

I reckon both out and bring in JWill who in his limited games so far has shown some decent ability for someone so young (in KPF terms) to play the Fwd/Ruck role we want so lets develop that more. Because we are in a rebuild apparently...

Outs - Hutch, Darling, BWill, Rotham Ins - Reid, JWill, Kelly, Culley Sub - Jones Jwill for BWill - if MC is trying things, why not this for a bit, surely couldnt be worse than last week? Culley for Darling for more flexibility, and Culley could play a 3rd Tall pretty well i think and pinch in...

Very interesting selections. It gives off a vibe, they intend to manage Allen's minutes? (Cant wait for the melts if this happens), hence the need for an extra tall up front, and then we need to play everyone with a bit of speed, cause we're going to be chasing them a lot when it shoots out of...

No, my argument is as a Back-Up Ruck, so someone who might ruck 20% of the game against another 2nd Ruck BWilliams would not offer that much more value than Darling, when Darling would offer so much more value than BWilliams up forward where the 2nd ruck would spend the rest of game when not on...

yes, same. And if its a choice between a Darling and BWilliams, its easily Darling whose 100x better forward and arguably equal quality back-up ruck. Until BWilliams can kick goals in the WAFL or Flynn gets injured, he should be in the wafl.

Bit of match sim drill at training today looked to be just those in consideration for weekend, as a bunch went to 2nd oval and didnt participate including Trew, Hall and Johnston so none of these looking likely. Those that didnt play last game but were involved in drill; Allen, Hunt, Brockman...

Like Travaglia, and wearing No.3, which should be vacant next season :think:

Popped into training this morning for a bit to have a look; Ryan and Yeo out there early working with a trainer; Ryan still being managed through by the looks and Yeo looked ok in what he was doing, but surely err on the side of caution this week? When the rest of them came out they both joined...

Just feel given what we saw in the pre-season and particularly in intra-club scratchies, he held his own in the 'b' team as an more inside mid against the likes of yeo and kelly and looked to be more suited closer to the contest, but come game time he's not used anywhere near it. With Reid being...

Not sure if its been mentioned, but is Chesser the new Greg Clark, better inside, closer to the contest player but not allowed in there and they want him to be a winger when he's not really one? Shows glimpses but being coached to stay outside and its not helping him develop his strengths?

Gaff out for Chesser is the obvious one. Barnett in for Darling (to ruck and BBW plays fwd and pinch-hits). Agree with others this window while Flynn is out is a great time to give him a crack and play BBW where they actually want him to play and he should offer more than 2023/24 Darling.. Hall...

Popped down this morning to watch for a bit. Few notes, fwiw Those i couldnt spot from where i was; Hewett, Cripps, Dewar, JWilliams, Barnett, Culley, Jones. Thought i spotted Yeo in the warm-up, but then not after. With Jones, heard Ryan chatting to some kids on the fence, who asked where Jones...

I'd rather watch Waterman get beaten up than sacrifice McGovern or Allen in that role, who are way more important in their preferred roles or seeing a 185cm midfield ruck? Waterman has a better tank then Jamo and provides more up forward and around the ground, and wont clog a bench spot up as...

If Jamo is confirmed out, Hunt and Jones should keep their spots, and Waterman and Clark come in for Jamo and Exxon. Prefer Hewett in first 22, but glad he's at least going to get a run, but this whole cant run out a game excuse is shite, most the team only played a half last week.

Interested to know where people think Trew sits in the pecking order. He's had a terrible run with injuries obv but played a string of games late last year and seems to have got through the pre-season unscathed, and from what i've seen has great hands, can extract from a pack and loves a...

I was just saying he was struggling, cobwebs or not, and it was a very strange way to manage someone by making them miss half the main game then come back on and play against 2nd rate players to make him feel better and get a few touches. What does that achieve. I would have thought if you're...

Not sure what he was focussing on, didnt seem to have a run with role and couldnt even catch that flog JHF. He only kicked a goal cause Ryan gave it to him for no real reason. He was better in the 2s but it was mostly wafl top-ups and nobodies so he should have been? To not be named even in the...

On Culley... (and i really have high hopes for this kid) being at the game last week and watching how he went, if you ignored the pre-season hype; He looked like someone who either wasnt mentally checked in, couldnt be bothered, or was really just struggling and not good enough in those 1st 2...

Was also trying to find LEdwards, thought i may spotted him at one stage but he just has no stand out anything that he's so hard to spot. Reckon his mum would have trouble finding him. Chesser needs a lot of kicking practice if todays session is anything to go by. Couldn't hit Darling or Jamo on...

When the groups split up this morning and newbies got involved, Burgiel was with the backline group and Ginbey was with the mids, so hopefully he's referring to Burgiel. He does have a quick turn of foot just watching him during this drill.

I'd be very happy if we can come out of Trade Week with (not directly but end result); Rioli for Georgiadis Waterman/BWilliams for Meek Rotham and/or Nelson (must have value elsewhere, have none with us but should) for a Devon Robertson type fringer that has more potential and younger than what...

Given he came into a team at the last minute and got thrown straight in the deep end with a team that was getting flogged and had no game plan. Now we compare this to Gaff's season and output who has been with the team forever and knows everyones playing style intimately, I would say he more...

Is there a chance NicNat hasnt signed yet cause the club is chasing a Meek or a Sweet who could come in and play No.1 Ruck, then Nicnat could retire. Potentially only having surgery to clean up, fix niggle in case he has to go round again? He looks cooked and knows he's not winning a flag with us.

Our list is currently full of list-cloggers and players that on face value don't look like they will take us forward or compliment the incoming draftees and the recent draftees we have brought in. Someone like Robertson who is right in the perfect target 'rebuild' age range, position they play...

You would think Clark would be the sub, given we named 2 defenders on the bench and another 3 as emergencies. Likely Yeo spends some time on ball, or maybe, just maybe, they push Rotham up the ground for a bit and see what happens....

We dont need to drop 6 or 7 to send a message to the playing group or make a statement. We should def be dropping Duggan and Darling, who both clearly should be best 22 when all fit, and both well underperforming to the standard we expect. None of the others we suggest dropping are down on form...

Think we might have redefined the term 'Destination Club' - guaranteed to get a game even if you're not on our list.
