I spoke with someone very close to Chad Warner yesterday. They confirmed that Chad purchased a house in Bicton and it isn’t seen as an investment- meaning he is intending on living in it in 2026.
At this early stage he, his management and his family are all favouring West Coast. The thought on...
I want to add some feedback one of the S&C blokes gave me on Monday whilst chatting RE Baker.
Said the players an staff have been blown away by Liam’s intensity and effort. Never seen anything like it, in his 8-9 years at the club. His ability to hit/take a hit, bounce back up and go again is...
I left just before the finish, but before I did the players set up in a game sense drill and they were competing against support staff. Although it was very low intensity, it gave a chance to see some potential positional insights.
All draftees other than Shanahan sat out. All those who I...
Down at training this morning. Quite a few still on modified programs, spoke with one of the fitness staff. He said most boys will be back and available post Christmas break.
Walking laps - Long, Chesser and HEdwards
Jamo has been entirely in the rehab running group.
Petch, Sheed, Reuben...
I think we should back in the fitness staff, who proved last year they can successfully build players to be primed for the start of the season proper.
Just because a player isn't completing full sessions out on the track, doesn't mean they aren't working super hard behind closed doors. We need...
Ruscoe’s official move to Souths is imminent. It appears Caleb Datson is the player we will get in exchange. Certainly not a fair trade in terms of quality, but it is pretty uncommon to get a player exchange in the WAFL and it is better than cash I guess.
Datson has played 50 odd league games...
Eagles are playing hardball with South Freo in releasing Ruscoe. Hence why it hasn’t become official. They won’t south’s to hand over a player instead of money (for the obvious reasons), whilst souths is reluctant to do so at this stage.
I have been told TB's back issues have ramped up again and he is having problems with his hamstring tendons.
Hasn't run since he last played in about round 19 of last season.
This deal may have come at the perfect time.
Very interesting to see how selection plays out. Clean slate with a new coach.
I would say there are only 7 guaranteed a game in a specific position for round 1, pending availability.
HEdwards and Gov KPD
Hough Small Defender
Harley and Yeo MID
Allen and Waterman KPF
I would then say the...
Gov's wedding Down South on the weekend in which a large number of the older crew were in attendance. Gov defintely won't be there, but others also, may be still making their way back to the city as they are not required back yet.
Completely agree. However you said 'In What world do you think improving the bottom 6 will improve our team'.
I've simply replied to that comment - asking you to look at Hawthorns model as they finished 16th, added 4 depth players and 12 months later were a kick away from a prelim. Once again...
Again, refer to Hawthorn’s method this year and see how improving bottom end, can improve a whole team performance.
Your argument last time I said this was “yea but I don’t think they can win a premiership” now you are saying, you can’t get out of the bottom 6 using this method??
You’re going...
What did Hawthorn do last off season which propelled them from 16th to 6th?
Added Dambrosio, Chol, Gunston, Ginnivan, as well as Watson.
We finished 16th this year, have added Baker, Graham, Owies (potentially another one or 2 via DFA) + pick 12.
I would say our Ins are equal too, if not...
Cal Twomey has us linked with Allen, Travaligia, Lindsay as most on here have predicted, but also Matt Whitlock and Jobe Shanahan with pick 12.
Would be pretty happy with any of the first 3, TT, Lindsay, Allen in that order. Would be confused if we went tall with first pick.
Find this difficult as I am sure there will be positional changes for some players with a new coach and a new game plan. I like Baker off HB, but with Ginbey, Duggan, Hough already there, we need to prioritise players with elite skill in the back half. Maric and or Dewar are two of our best...
Personally, I don't remember TB complaining publicly about only going to the Hawks, could be wrong however. Also, as far as I am aware Hawthorn were the only ones with serious interest. Collingwood and Bulldogs were spoken about early on, but probably knew they wouldn't be able to afford his...
Tb has been with Gov and a few other mates in Port Douglas since Monday. I've been told he was very nervous, and with 15 minutes left had conceded that it was a good chance he was coming back to the Eagles. Was getting calls from McQualter with an hour left to go, telling him he is welcome back...
Okay looking forward to how our side may look in 2025, we obviously have a heap of small/mid forwards.
Assuming we play Oscar, Waterman and JWilliams as a backup ruck/3rd forrward.
That leaves, Ryan, Brockman, Long, Cripps, Owies, Dewar, Hutchison, Hewett, Baker, Rawlinson all competing for...
