To be fair, his comment on Robertson was that we were confident. Listening to ROB in his interview a week back, he sounded confident too and Eagles might have thought it was looking likely. In the end, the thing Eagles are best at is making money. What is the best way to develop some hype and...

Saying the opposite this morning is Gossage.

Eagles always go best available talent with early picks. We have said if it’s a close call between a vic or a local we will take the local. Clearly this year there is a standout at 1 and that is Reid, also we do look at previous year’s performances as judge, which STILL has Reid at number 1...

I’d say T.Kelly, Allen, then Williams personally.

Bailey Williams a roughy for top 3-5 in the BNF if he plays out the season.

I think we absolutely nailed last years draft. Happy to give the recruiting team another 3 or 4 picks in the top 30 to work with. Watching Butters last night, couldn’t help but compare him to Noah Long. So glad he is back in the lineup!

General question, I’m having a little bit of an argument with a mate, so looking for opinions. Do west coast ask for special draft compensation? Two years* (looking likely) a record as bad as any team in recent years. I would say we would be asking the question and feel we have a case. His...

Spoke to Rotham today at the footy clinic at my school. Didn’t have an arm brace on anymore, so asked him about it. Said he is about a fortnight away from being back and was pretty lucky.

Had little chat with Noah at a footy clinic at the school I work at today. Very impressive young man. Actually all the eagles were great!

Absolutely, I just said as much on twitter. Seems like changes are happening in all parts of the club.

I think people are being a little harsh on Jefferson at or second first rounder. Getting a mid then the second best tall seems alright to me. I’d be happy with Clark and Jefferson, hopefully stops the narrative of only drafting WA kids coming out lately. Even better if Hewitt ends up sliding to...

Heard him on a podcast the other day back running and doing Physio with the club.

Yeah right, I guess I got a little excited 😆.

This would be a dream result. Pick Warldaw and having an extra pick in the top 10 for another midfielder as insurance.

Brander didn’t turn out great… If we are talking Clark hopefully we are looking at another pick in the top 10. Hope we are meeting with Warldaw.

I don’t think we are scared to take injured juniors for better or worse. Traditionally we rate previous years performance pretty highly too (I’m sure I read that somewhere).

That’s a fantastic interview! Even better with holding pick 2, like I said it will take a juicy offer to get this pick.

Now that Dunkley is going to Lions I wonder if it might be mutual beneficial for Devon Robertson to request out for more opportunity. Makes a bit of sense if we are in his ear.

This, he is number 1 if his slides past north we grab him. I’ll trust us to have checked out those hammies pre-draft

Disagree, his credit in the banks when his form has been shocking is one of our biggest issues (granted he’s not the only one). He plays well once a month and will never be dropped. Think you’re overrating his defensive pressure a tad too.

Actually can see that happening, especially if North keep pick 1. But not sure GWS would do that as they have the next pick. Can see Hawks being the biggest chance especially if they know their player will be gone!

Our lack of pace makes me think we might target Elijah Tsatas with our pick. Happy with Sheezel as with no Rioli we need the x-factor in the forward line. I’m just not sure Cadman should be our target.

Hope so because Warlord is what we need.

Lol we aren’t giving them our numero 1 pick next year for him. That’s crazy

Best half-back flanker?

I wasn’t a fan but the draft board has me changing my opinion. Think we can’t lose really with who we pick at 2 (one of Warldaw vs Tsatas). I’d even argue that ROB would prefer Tsatas as he’s got that extra acceleration and pace that we lack. Also, think we prefer dual position players. If true...

For such a rich club this wafl stuff is rubbish, take it seriously or dump it. The club needs to be able to make the team competitive.

Absolutely, I also think it is laughable when people think the government would implement the mandate without ensuring it's been looked over by lawyers. One funny comment I heard was "Now he mandated it I can sue Magowan if something goes wrong"...Good luck with that What's going to be...

Let it melt

This and playing senior players in horrible form is my biggest grind with the club. It would suck to be a young player at west coast, getting dropped after a good game while some players keep being gifted games for sub-par performances. Set the standards, if you don’t meet them to the WAFL you go.
