Hindsight is a beautiful thing but I remember back in 2007 that Cotchins dad had said that if WCE drafted his son he would ask for a trade back to Vic after 1 season...
WCE really had 2 choices with pick 3 Masten or Morton.
We had just retired Phil Matera and were looking at Rioli with our 2nd...
Jeez a lot of people jumping on schoey's back but thought he played well out of position. He had 10 pos, 5 pressure acts and 6 score involvements.???
IMHO
Outs: Lecras, Colledge, Masten (inj) and Yeo (disposal was shit)
Ins: Hill- Lecras
Sheed- Masten
Hutchings - Colledge
Wellingham - Yeo
Start...
It stems from the Conca trade option in my opinion.
If the rumors are correct Yarran heading to us along with carltons first pick (10) for pick 6.
WCE on trade pick 10 and player (Rosa) to Richmond for 14 and Conca.
Carlton trade pick 6 and 2 players (Warnock and McCarthy) for pick 1
They get...
My mail has it that WCE trade Pick 6 to Carlton for Yarran + pick 10.
WCE trade Pick 10 + Player or later pick upgrade (unknown) to Richmond for pick 14 & Conca
WCE believe pick 14 is still early enough to secure Dom Sheed.
2nd round Pick -Charlie Cameron - Lewis Jetta clone
Late round pick-...
At this stage we are looking at pick 8/9
Dom Sheed is really the player we need.
Will he be there at 8/9...possibly.
So what are our other options.
Here's a few I think may help next season.
Option 1:
Trade heavy- IMHO we don't have quality in our depth.
Sinclair and Lycett are going to be good...
I think a complete rebuild is a tad over kill.
We cant wait for the next group of draftees to come on, so Drafting out or problems wont work at this stage.
With some of our older players looking at retirement at seasons end how will we fair next season, and its time to start looking forward...
IMHO Gaff needs to go out for starters.
Brown out
Dalziell out
Hams out
Sheppard- Out
Ins:
Kerr, Wilson, Hutchings, EMac, Brennan
For starters.
Priddis needs to sort his kicking out below AFL standard.
No where near good enough today or last week for that matter.
Melbourne made out like bandits....
We did alright, I would have like to see Brown and a late pick maybe 62 go to Saints for Cripps, 25 and TDL/Winmar.
That would have been the icing on the cake IMHO.
Our best pick up was Morton.
Here's why: Cale, Masten and Selwood were all drafted in the same...
If all the reports are true, then you can add Cripps and Lucas to the mix as midfield depth.
Looks a lot healthier now.
I'm truly more concerned with our KPD depth.
No real guys over 192cm that's not in our best 22.
So as it stands so far: (Rumours)
Lynch to Collingwood- End of 1st Rnd Pick Compensation (assumption)
Stevens to Stkilda for Cripps
Pick 17 (1st Rnd) to Collingwood for Wellingham and pick 58 (3rd Rnd)
So anything else on the Radar??
I have been a huge Tom Swift knocker for a long time...
But against Geelong he did his part. And that was negating Bartel.
Bartel only started getting influential when Swift got subbed out.
I say give credit to we're credit is due. Swift played well.
He may have only got 7 touches but when he...
Well if they get boak from port they would need to give a hefty price IMO I would expect Menzel would be first point of call and either Byrnes or an upgrade of their 2nd round to the cats 1st round plus Menzel would be fair compensation.
I would like either Kerstan or Duncan or both.
Darling...
And how funny is it that the person that was a huge part of our bad culture ended up at Richmond lmfao...
Add to that Dustin Martin has become the next star party boy!!! Yep they have a great culture.
On a serious note. I seem to remember JK was not too excited about coming over to WCE when the...
Gaff had the green vest for a long time before he made the starting 21.
He fought for his spot and that's what Koby needs to do.
I think Koby could be a very important player in the next 2 to 3 years if he gets his S**t together.
However I doubt he will be on our list come 2013.
That means 1 of...
Was watching 360 on fox and during the talk of Selwood, Bartell and Scott in Adelaide, The big cat Cam mooney mentioned that WCE Trevor Nisbett was down in Geelong....
So who was nizzy talking too???
My guess would be either Mitch Duncan or Shane Kerstan
2 young West Aussies who could add a...
Pretty easy really....
From the named team of last week:
Outs: Waters, Shuey, Lynch
Ins: Stevens, Sheppard, A. Selwood
Schofield to play forward.
The team as I see it:
Fb: Butler, Glass, A.Selwood
Hb: Hurn, EMac, Brennen
C: Rosa, S.Selwood, Gaff
Hf: Schofield, Darling, Hill
Ff: Hams, Cox...
Time to go with a youth policy after that bruising encounter last week.
Outs: Cox, Glass, Kerr, Priddis, Hurn.
Ins: Newman, McInness, Butler, Stevens, Smith.
Team should look like this IMHO
FB: Waters, EMac, Brennen
HB: Smith, Brown, Sheppard
C: Rosa, Masten, Gaff
HF: Darling, Lynch, Swift...
Congrats Q stick on 200.
I believe Q stood up when we needed a cult figure to lift the spirits of us WCE supporter, after 2007 we were in the toilet emotionally and the Q got us through.
As good as he had been in the past, I tend to think his time is running out fast.
He has been struggling this...
Match ups.
McGinnity will play as a tagging half forward on either Yarran or Gibbs to try and keep the ball in our 50.
I think it's a great move, considering our Forward 50 ATM.
If Paddy can't restrict the rebound out then Hill and Hams have a better chance of getting the loose ball, if these 2...
If we have any hope of winning this game we need to be first in at the ball, ATM too many are standing back and waiting for others to do the job.
Sheppard needs to go to Polec.
Scooter to Redden
Schofield to Brown
Emac to Sauce
Glass to Corn
Lynch needs to stop playing for frees
Hams...
Also some good news:
Meanwhile, injured forward Mark Nicoski has started running as he looks to return from a serious hamstring injury in the second half of the season.
The 28-year-old had been using a treadmill that supports a percentage of the player's body weight, but he started a...
Yeh totally Agree..
I am well know for making Crazy suggestions and Threads but I dont even open a thread on the Main page..
Common sense lets keep our Crap in our own back yard.
